I just played through Portal again on a Switch Lite, and I’m over 40 (It’s the only game I bought, I was chipping it for Linux & Android. But due to a buggy Nvidia driver (frame pacing/tearing in ‘landscape’) I wound up selling it.

Look at it more as a great re use of your spare main board after you upgrade your laptop

And if correctly executed should one say, “touché!* or “zugzwang “?

Is the switch really popular? I mean, the sales numbers are there, but I see the switch as a toy that you give to your 5-12 year old children to keep them occupied, just like you had the game boy in the past. The game boy was great when I was 5. And there are barely any games for adults on the switch, if it even has them (no idea). I just looked at the top 50 most sold switch games on Wikipedia and it’s just kids games. So as far as I know, it’s not popular, it’s just a convenient buy for parents. The PlayStation, Xbox and PC are popular. People actually care about it.

Yes, the pricing is pretty bad.
Sure, you can build your own handheld but it’s hard to justify if it costs as much as 2 Steam Decks.
I have similar feelings when it comes to the Framework laptop, as well.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate and like both the laptop and the Beth Deck.
