Elden Ring looks really cool but I don't understand why anyone plays brand new games anymore. It seems like every PC title with graphics better than the SNES era comes out a buggy mess for the first few months.

It's big enough that I'd need a backpack or bag to carry it, and it comes in at 1.47lbs, well beyond the already-too-heavy-for-comfort 1.01lbs and 1.37lbs of my gpd win 2 and onegx1 pro respectively.

im sitting here on a 1070gtx and a i5 6600k and having a fuckin blast. nerds are being insane about this game being """"unplayable"""" but all the hiccups i get are clearly cache related and happen in the overworld once in a while. honestly its funny as hell to me that people with top of the line rigs are getting the same framerate as me. this game is fun as hell and im really happy it runs so well on my computer!

I'll admit I should also probably at some point try a Nintendo switch hands-on, but it really seems like it would be too small for me as-is. maybe when my kid is a bit older and there's any reason at all I'd be willing to put up with a weird little half controller for local multiplayer, and/or want to play it docked

ryzen desktop mobo bit the dust, so I decided to lash a jet engine to a lawn mower with some twine rx5700xt in a tb3 enclosure hanging off an i7-1160G7 handheld (onegx1 pro) running linux for maximum jamesing self loathing ngl, I'm kinda impressed how well it works

forza 5 on my rig was actually literally unplayable last time I tried. It wouldn't use the GPU at all when in the foreground. put it in the background though and it ran fine except you can't actually play it like that

I have an og xbone and have had no issues with elden ring performance I feel pretty good about having paid $500 for a thing almost a decade ago and still playing current games on it checkmate pc gamers

purely hypothetical but is a switch lite any better ergonomically or w/e for normal adult hands? I feel like it's hard to get any switch opinion that isn't absolutely poisoned by defend your purchase mindset. except maybe here

one thing i'll say in defense of switch portable ergonomics is if you can set the screen up somewhere you can hold the controllers in a completely neutral arm position so they don't mess up your wrists, its just as good if not better than a traditional controller in that aspect

the switch lite is awful for ergonomics if you have adult hands. probably contributed to my current rsi trouble until I got the grips

Switch is so bulky - I don't get the hype for it as a portable system. Looks awkward. Maybe good for playing at your desk or maybe on a plane? I dunno. Mine stays docked 99.9% of the time. If you're gonna go portable though get the OLED version.

portables really stopped being portable some time ago. even the ds pushed the limit on pocketability I want a modern gba sp, with the modern "standard" controls (think xbox/ps), maybe using low profile analog sticks to keep it in a clamshell I can dream, right?

the switch's portability excels in that i can play it on the couch with little jones while ms jones watches this old house or whatever, or that LJ and i can chill in his room with it, or take it to my office, or whatever. we basically never play docked, and it also basically never leaves the house it's nice that i could take it on a plane or to a hotel room, but traveling with video game poo poo is more annoyance than it's worth generally. the only scenario where "oh my god im so glad we could take the switch to the hotel with us" would outweigh the annoyance of keeping up with the dang thing is an evacuation or similar where any trappings of home would have tremendous psychological benefits for little jones i enjoy video games, but the idea of really really caring about taking them on vacation with me is a bit much the switch is too big to bring with you on a daily train commute, at least if you include the satisfye grip. the vita was a good size for that though. but in most cases i'd rather read on the train than play video games, video games would only become relevant on a long (too long for a commute) train ride, and then we're back at the vacation "i'd rather not have to bring it with me, no matter how small" thing. idk if the switch lite would work well for that, but frankly the way the joycons self destruct after not-that-much use i wouldn't wanna pay for a switch lite anyway
