       @MischievousTomato @matrix I think the sunk cost + hardware is enough atm to keep them in the ecosystem.  at least for now, but yeah they are running quite the risk, pc hardware costs are the only thing helping them atm funnily enough

       @Lumeinshin I entered the 8th gen on PS4, following a long stint with my X360. I wanted to believe Sony had learned from their previous mistakes (some but not all) and supported their efforts using BSD software in a way that benefited my experience. Turns out my previous acknowledgement of the 'real engineers' having already left struck home as MS turned their XB1 around to the point where it was a better value proposition. The PS4 stayed as it was IMO.The PS5 was designed by idiots with 90+°C RAM and using liquid metal to cover for their cooling flaws. Aside from hardware costs (which are coming down again), parents buy their kids PlayStations because they have better control over it compared to PCs. When it breaks, they can ask Sony to fix it rather than returning it to a retailer and losing more than they would in Sony's ecosystem. I think the convenience is what keeps Sony afloat, especially for those already locked in.@MischievousTomato @matrix

       @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club you're overestimating the economy and the difficulty of using a switch emulator.there's very few people for which emulation would be unsatisfying enough to spend $300, for just playing a few specific games in the specific form factor.

       @iska @matrix @LukeAlmighty i'm not just talking about the controller, i'm talking about the fact that you're going to need a beefy phone that will cost at least twice the price of a switch to play AAA games with poor performance. not to mention the battery drain.plenty of games still don't boot, or have heavy graphic glitches, and shader compilation stutters are still an issue even on PC.plus i would not want to play on a portable switch with a gamecube controller, let alone a smaller phone screen.it's not as simple as "phones can emulate switch." that's a completely uninformed idea. there exists an emulator, but in no way is it what i would consider playable and probably won't be for the foreseeable future until some better hardware comes out, and even then it won't be nearly as accessible, and you'll still have the battery drain problem.

       It does look pretty neat. Problem is I'm also looking into building a PC, and I'm not even sure that getting a steam deck would save me any money. That's quite a few games I'd have to buy to equal a steam deck

       @matrix @mer @matrix @KonataWagner I never played the originals, one of my buddies were preaching to the choir about the games. He told me I should go and play the new one, so He gave me his copy and I felt really bored playing that game. Reminds me of the feeling I had playing Borderlands 3 I overhyped myself for that game like retard and after beating it twice I wanted to kill myself for a week.

       @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club phones are basically on par/better against switch nyow. A switch might be better, but you probably already have/want a phone that has other uses.plus i would not want to play on a portable switch with a gamecube controlleryou should've brought up a better example, people would rather have a messy table than play with joycons.battery drainswitch battery lasts just as long. I have one myself.

       @CentaurBreeder @matrix @KonataWagner RaC2 blows any ps2 era games out of the water.The movement is way more fluid, like not even using speedrun moves, there's a diagonal sideflip that's just a move you can do, makes movement very satisfying.There's way more content and well designed levels.But I would still have eaten up ToD if they didn't completely change everyone's personality and the tone of the worldbuilding. It went from silly but the joke is always "late stage capitalism, flagrant incompetence and selling WMD to children" to some generic universe savior bullshit and throw in some robot pirates because we're soooooo random

       @iska @LukeAlmighty @matrix @iska @matrix @LukeAlmighty @KonataWagner i think a controller would seriously undermine my attempts to play video games at work.

       I think the gameplay of the Borderlands games was great, but the humor was very annoying

       @matrix @KonataWagner @mer @matrix I think it was funny during its time a little bit. But they did a weird mix of "Thats so random" humor and tried to add modern humor. they should have done one or the other, it would be better than both. Its just a shame they took fucking 7 years to make a make the same gameplay with slightly more guns with real fucking shitty humor.

       @iska @matrix @LukeAlmighty a battery only lasting 3 hours is fine if it's a gaming device, but not when it's your phone and you need it to do other stuff.the hardware of a lot of phones are better, but you need far more powerful hardware than what you're emulating does to actually emulate it.phones don't usually have great cooling either, so if you're pushing it to the max for a long time it'll likely start throttling.i don't wanna' play portable gamecube controller either lol, fuck that. smash ultimate was just a random example, controller be damned. i know you could just as easily get one of those controller attachment things for you phone as you could joycons.the other thing you might be forgetting is that the switch came out in 2017. phones are just now available that can emulate it to an "okay" degree. most people who wanted a switch already have one, and most of the switch-exclusive games that have come out most people with a switch have already played (if they wanted to). the ps5 has been out for 2 years, has 5 exclusive games on it, and you can't buy it unless you pick it up from someone selling it higher than retail value. it's not really worth buying, whereas a switch technically still is (the only REAL competitor being the steam deck, but then you still have to fuck around with linux and emulation issues).

       @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @matrix@gameliberty.club @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club the hardware of a lot of phones are better, but you need far more powerful hardware than what you're emulating does to actually emulate it.I meant the emulation performance is actually good, look up skyline emulator on youtube.again I was only using phones here because it's what everynyan already has or wants (therefore likely not needing a switch enough to spend the $300), not arguing which is better (obviously deck is because I'm a freetard)

       @iska @beardalaxy @matrix @LukeAlmighty I mean any modern phone that sells for a similar price as the switch will be much better raw performance wise. The Switch  uses a 7 year old quad core 20nm CPU clocked at 1 GHz.

       @LukeAlmighty @matrix fewer exclusives is an objectively positive thing. Everyone whined constantly about how many exclusives last gen had. Now it's some weird gotcha this gen? Sony doesn't give a shit anyway if VGChartz is half reliable.

       @Kallian @matrix You are literally comparing 2 consoles with 0 exclusives.I am not sure what ai should see in that graph.

       @LukeAlmighty @matrix I've only ever seen people doomtalk about the PS5 and shit on it/Sony for being dead. The PS5 is doing fine compared to the Xbox.
