  I highly doubt Nintendo is attempting any kind of gap closure with the deck, because how could they and why?

  The only thing they share is a form factor. Nintendo is well aware that the reason they sell consoles is as a dedicated platform for their own games. I truly believe that is their bread and butter and all they really care about. If the system gets popular enough, then it will get some third party support which means it will have some very limited library crossover with PC/PS/Xbox, but I think we are past the point where Nintendo intends to rely on that as a selling point for this or any future generation of consoles.

  Which is all to say, I don’t think Nintendo and Valve think of each other as direct competitors, because they serve entirely different markets. I have both a switch and a deck. I love them both. I use my switch to play Nintendo games, I use my deck to play pretty much anything else. I don’t think I’m unique at all in that regard, and frankly it never would occur to me that these devices have anything to do with one another.

  I purchase and play switch exclusives on switch. Multi platform titles I buy for the deck. I don’t really pirate much these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The steam deck feels very heavy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I mean the 3DS XL is not a heavy system by any sort of comparative standard. So it makes sense the deck would feel heavy.

  Personally it doesn’t bother me, but I do still often prop pillows under my arms as support for long sessions. You might try that.

  I’d have to go back and reinstall. Maybe I did something wrong, but I remember it like, not even working to control it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah! I’ll have to play it on the deck. It’s been a while since I’ve done a run anyway.

  If you play Omori it’ll be clear why it’s similar very quickly. However so far it’s definitely darker in tone, so be prepared for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - August 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Earthbound is my favorite game ever! Absolute classic.

  I’m playing Omori right now which is similar in a lot of right ways.

  What control layout are you using? I tried to install this a while back (maybe a year ago?) And at the time the control layouts I found were horrible and made it no fun to play.

  Ooh. That is pretty cool. I think I’ve literally never installed a game I got through Amazon. Would be nice to be able to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades on Steam Deck is a blast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently playing Omori and while I’m not very far in, so far the game really benefits from that sort of “console” feel the deck has.

  Both Ori games were also amazing to play on the deck.
