Comment on Might as well get a laptop???

Aren’t you missing the point? The portability and formfactor (controller) is what makes handheld pcs like this worthwhile. A laptop is a laptop, it’s not really made for portable play and you’d need to lug around a controller.
I stopped using Reddit because of shitposts like these and here we are again.
At what point does the screen become too big and it’s cumbersome and not very mobile, requiring you to hold this large heavy thing in your hands as the big screen is also the controller?
You’re whining about needing to lug around a controller as if that is some big task that kills portability but you’re still lugging around a big ass fucking screen that you must hold the entire time to use.
I think I made it clear why this reminded me of bad reddit posts.
You clearly have more knowledge about portable gaming laptops than I have. So my opinion might be based in ignorance. I am hardly whining though.
I feel like having several items (laptop plus controller) to carry around is a bigger dealbreaker than having a bigger device. Though I agree that an increase in size and weight can be problematic.
I also never wanted to imply that this community has no value and I am sorry I gave that impression.

Subjective and your opinion, which is ok. This is not a shitpost. Don’t be bitter, take part in the discourse without being bitter, my friend.

I’m not being bitter. I just feel that the wording of the original post is pretty baity. You’re unhappy with size and weight, and that is a vlid point worth discussing. But making the jump to laptops? Hyperbolic engagement bait. I don’t like it. If others do, that’s fine. But I feel this trend of engagement bait is bad for platforms in general. And I want to keep the illusion up that lemmy is better than this.
If it isn’t, then I still feel it’s worthwhile to point out that discussions can be had without the hyperbole.

My brother in Christ. You’ve literally created an issue out if things air out of bitterness? Bored? I don’t want to deal with you. Go away.

That sure is one way to handle criticism. I’m not going to let you push me out of a community though.

Your post is also subjective and your opinion.
