    If the July Direct lineup is true, that is insanely weak

    Really hope it’s not the case

    What you talking about

    What you talking about

    Do you mean that literally? He’s referencing the July direct games that leaked, if you want to spoiler yourself they’re on the last page posted by hot pancakes

    Leak is unconfirmed though

    2026 will probably look like duskbloods, rumored animal crossing game, and the next 3D Mario which is exciting. Big year. Probably mainline Pokémon too?

    What you talking about

    Rumoured Nintendo Direct in July originating from Youtube content creator BeatEmUps making a confident claim that he knows of a supposed Direct in July and mentioning some of the games that will allegedly be there.

    Myabe it was just me but if you are stuck on finding more p missions go to the snow area and explore DEEPLY. A good portion of my last 40 have been in the snow area. I guess because you often don't think to explore the off-road snowy hills that much.

    There’s also a free roam mirror mode allegedly. I wonder if some are hidden behind that

    does it run current triple A titles decently?

    I have a big steam library but most of it is pretty easy to run as my computer doesn't have great specs

    im not too sure honestly youd have to look up specific games on youtube to see how they run

    i know something like cyberpunk runs kinda bad on it but thats more like a benchmark game

    if he also has a gaming pc, steam deck is basically useless IMO

    Most PC games weren't meant for handheld gaming IMO

    not really

    if anything you could say the same for the switch 2 when emulation on that gets figured out lol

    Good luck! lol. Idk if I’ll ever find em all. I plan on using those as a stretch goal when I play late at night, a chill look around free roam gradually getting them all

    well I buy everything legally unless it's legally unobtainable anymore

    so to me there's no reason for a steam deck because I'd rather play PC games on my desktop.

    But I am also one who doesn't bring my switch anywhere but airplane rides. That's why a Switch 2 is more worth it IMO because you can't play the Nintendo exclusives on PC.

    But unless I am on a plane ride I just browse my phone when I am away not game on the go.

    If someone really like gaming on the go I could see a steam deck being worth it.

    And obviously people who do emulate a steam deck is worth it (if they like gaming on the go).

    The problem with a steam deck is I feel you have to like gaming on the go and emulating for it to be worth it. Because an actual PC is just going to everything way better.

    You can stream via steam link for anything not working well

    Personally I just stream my library on a retroid when I feel like doing that

    Steam deck vs switch just comes down to the games you want to play

    this logic doesnt make sense ngl

    like if you're gonna say a steamdeck is pointless because you'd rather play on a gaming pc, i can say the same thing for a switch because you can emulate those games on there

    if anyones buying a steamdeck they are most likely buying it for the reasons you just listed (emulating and playing on the go). you have to hack or pay a service just to play a limited selection of emulated games on the switch

    how doesn't it make sense? I can't play Mario Kart World on steam

    That's the point. If I am not emulating modern day games, I can't play Nintendo exclusives without a Switch 2. I can play steam games without a steam deck. I can play them with better performance and comfortability on PC.

    But that's why I clarified it makes sense if people are emulating on it or playing on the go. But if I could only pick one or the other I'd pick the Switch 2.

    Would you want to get into any emulation of older consoles? I love my Steam Deck for emulating PS2 and GBA

    bro a steamdeck isn't useless just because YOU may have a good pc or prefer to playing games on a pc. OBVIOUSLY if someone is interested in getting a steamdeck they are most likely into playing on the go or are into emulating. this shouldn't have to be mentioned at all

    all im saying to the guy that asked the question between a steamdeck or a switch 2 that there's s*** ton more value right now getting a steamdeck than waiting for switch 2 to get games. the same way you're saying "well i can't play mario kart world on the steamdeck" i can say i can't play lies of p or death stranding on the switch 2 right now. its all based on preference

    Well I disagree that the steam deck has more value, (unless it would literally be their only console)

    So I was giving my input

    its going to be awhile until we have switch 2 emulation, let alone it working seamlessly

    Nope, I’m guessing they keep trying to sell Mario kart for a while before they cash in on the dlc

    I’ve rewatched the Bananza direct like 5 times at this point
