If you have an iPad, you can use the app Duet. I used it for college back when I only had a laptop and and iPad and it worked surprisingly well.

There’s some lag and you’ll need to install some software on the PC as well, but it’s pretty lightweight if I remember correctly

Neon White: A parkour FPS puzzle game where you cards are your weapons

Rollerdrome: Best way I’ve heard is described is: Doom x Tony Hawk

I don’t think Nintendo has really cared much about graphics since the gamecube era. They realized that people buy their consoles for the games not the graphics

I doubt they would make the console significantly more expensive by adding a GPU that most people wouldn’t really care much about

I mean Nintendo has been pretty good with backwards compatibility so I’m hopeful they will do that again. That will be the only thing that could push me towards buying a new nintendo console atm. I would sell my switch lite to add to my new switch fund lol

If not, I will just stick to my Steam Deck and PC

Same. Those comments are coming from a place of privilege.

A lot of people in a first world country can’t afford splurges like that anymore. In third world countries it’s even worse. Because of import fees, scarcity, and price gauging, a $60 SSD can easily become $100+. In some countries that’s over half of the average monthly income

I really like the hunter call of the wild. it’s not perfect visually, but there have been moments when i just stop to look around and not even care about hunting

couch co-op. i don’t think it has online co-op

are you going to buy starfield at launch?

I get what you’re saying but there are ways to implement it in the gameplay with prompts, descriptions and dialogue.

I love a lot of the games I’m criticizing, but sometimes they go too far. I’ll pick up the fart machine 3000 and the description will just say “Butt Fart Pfffft Toot Toot” and I’m just kinda left like wtf and i have to close the game and go into the wiki to see what the hell i just picked up and if its worth the inventory space

I don’t have an exact answer, but there are a lot of games that you need the wiki up on your second monitor for. Their tutorials teach you the basic controls, but nothing about what you’re supposed to do or anything like that.

I feel it’s kinda lazy on the developer’s side and leave it to the community to do their job. You see a 5-10 min video on youtube explaining everything, yet the developer couldn’t do that?

In CSGO I constantly switching guns andbinspecting my weapons. The animations and sounds are really satisfying to me

In Minecraft flying around in the Elytra feels really nice. I wish there was some sort of time trials minigame for the Elytras

Lol i like that they come with games bc its easier, but i feel like once the big companies catch on, that will be the downfall of the industry

It might also be worth looking at Steam Deck alternatives. GPD, AYA, ASUS, etc.

I only own a Steam Deck, but I’ve seen a couple videos on alternatives and they look pretty good. Since you were already planning on spending laptop money, an upgrade might be worth it so your mom can have that extra power. They might not be as user friendly as the Steam Deck though

i also recommend doing a factory install of your OS with a USB drive

I really wish it was ported to PC. It looks like a lot of fun

Added. Thank you!

Any gaming feeds that you all recommend?

Lmao wow so defensive. Haven’t seen this type of behaviour since I left reddit

My best guess would be the development cost. I guess they created the app as a business, not for/by the community.

I don’t blame them, but I also won’t support them. I’ll just keep supporting lemmy/jerboa instead. I don’t have absolutely anything against sync, but I generally don’t like supporting that business model and trust open source a little more.

I didn’t know sync was that expensive though lol

Seriously one of my favorite games of all time. It really reminded me of my childhood and how big a small place felt. The map is relatively small, but it didn’t feel that way while playing it
