I'm not sure I would visit a subreddit called "fucknintendo" for an unbiased opinion on a Nintendo product.
That made me laugh quite hard also, how could that be "unbiased" of all things?

A Switch and a Steam Deck are orthogonal purchases.
Not really. The Switch 2 has many of the most popular games available on other platforms. Plus a lot of Nintendo exclusives. They are not the same for sure, and YMMV for specific titles.
The Deck can play most of those Nintendo exclusives better than the Switch itself ;)

#103> Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform.
This is a huge nitpick but I wish they'd just say "other Linux distros" instead of the "Linux platform". It's fine to pick and choose one (or a few) popular distro(s) to support, like SteamOS. It's not reasonable to expect support for all possible Linux software environments. It's already crazy that they support so many hardware combinations, even on just Windows.

Big tip: get the LCD and a DeckHD. The mod takes a long time, but it's not technically difficult . Yeah, I know most people will say the Deck is already too slow for 800p, so why would it pull 1080p well? I have two decks, one's got Deck HD, the other doesn't. I render the Deck HD one at 540 native and upscale 2x with FSR. It looks way better than the stock display one and runs better as well. Similar with HZD and ot…
The DeckHD website says it's sold out. Can I get the same display component without the installation kit from somewhere else? Is there a model or part identifier or something?
sadly no.
i guess that's that then!

I have both and I would agree with GP on that, the switch is really exclusively for Nintendo games. Cross platform games don't run really well, I just get them on the deck instead.
> Cross platform games don't run really well
Wouldn't that depend heavily on the game and developer in question? The Switch 2 has more than sufficient hardware to compete, with a particularly beefy GPU for a handheld.
I'd be more ready to blame the game and developer in question than this console, unless there are a lot of examples from capable developers performing measurably worse.

This got a good laugh out of me.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Deck – Native Version
#108That's amazing, it would be interesting to see benchmarks comparing the two versions
Yeah that would be nice. Some native Linux versions actually have worse performance than Proton when they're done poorly. I got ~60fps on the Linux version of Silksong, but 400fps running the Windows version through Proton.
That sounds like vsync to me. I'd be worried if I was rendering 400fps when my monitor can't get close to displaying that framerate.

I tell people to get an LCD and xreal or viture AR glasses with the saved money. AR glasses are a WAY better display than a small OLED screen.
So, you’ve got a portable deck wired to augmented reality glasses. Just need a chordic keyboard and you’ll be a full-on Neuromancer/Snow Crash gargoyle :)
Strange days !

#110I have played a couple hours of BG3 on PlayStation (time-limited demo), and a couple hours on my Mac (purchased on Steam), and I found the controller UI to be really weird and counterintuitive compared to the mouse-driven UI on the desktop computer.
Does it get easier? Does anyone have any suggestions for coming to terms with the controller weirdness? I would much rather play BG3 on my Steam Deck than on my computer.
