!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Also there's no such thing as indie switch games. Which limits the market and means that all the really interesting games aren't even on the platform.

There is also more diversity on the steam

At this point, 90% of Nintendo is just Mario remakes, and broken joycons

They don't say please, they just threaten you with legal ramifications.

"If something wears out after the warranty expires, here's an independent online store with a full inventory of all replaceable parts, along with the instructions for how to fix them."

I have both. So far the only advantage the Switch Lite has is that is lighter and pocketable. The Steam Deck is not just about gaming which it does so well, it has also become my main and only PC outside of work. I have it hocked up to my TV more often than use it in handheld mode.

I'm very sure you can even run blender on it

and given that it's a gaming device blender probably runs pretty alright, too, especially if you stick to the eevee engine

Only one small mistake I see here. Assuming Nintendo will say please. The same amount of time it takes them to say please, you'll blink and be in a courtroom facing piracy charges.

I recently learned that the eshop on the Switch is a browser and the eshop you buy from is a website which is so funny to me for some reason

That would explain the slow load times

In the end everything that is storage can also be used as memory. You could print it to paper and scan it back in when the cpu requires it (and write a memory interface to do so).. It would just be terribly slow if you don't use something like DRAM

Sure but that's the opposite of what was mentioned.

Storage can be memory.

Memory cannot be storage.

You can use a ramdisk to use memory as storage. And if it's volatile memory just be sure to never power it down. Ignoring the applicability of it of course.
