  The 2D Castlevania games still hold up well, except the NES ones for being NES hard. Most of them are available for purchase through collections.

  There are some modders experimenting with eGPUs on the Deck, but it’s really impractical. The Deck USB-C connector isn’t powerful enough to handle an external GPU and the OS doesn’t support it.

  Valve would need to release new hardware for it to be feasible.

  I read about it over a decade ago. Something about the game being difficult to emulate because of it. Now I can’t find anything :(

  They also pulled a really cool hack on Jak and Dexter. They were able to hack into the PS1 chip hidden away in the PS2 for backwards compatibility to get some extra processing power!

  Exactly! This is more about the social aspect of these games. Kids are playing Fortnite/Roblox/Minecraft because that’s where their friends are hanging out after school.

  It’s in reference to Valve being unable to count to 3

  We all know there won’t be a Deck 3. So I hope they take their time on making the second one perfect.
