I went from buying so much Nintendo stuff to 100% piracy after my third Switch broke, I lost all my saves because they force it on internal memory and encrypt that then sue the guy who wrote code to let you back it up locally, and then I found out most of my games played better on Yuzu (and now Eden) than they did on the actual hardware.
The switch is just a glorified android tablet with a couple brackets bolted on for the controllers. It’s not all that surprising that it runs better on an emulator.
If only there were portable devices it could run on. Even if they were way more expensive than the Switch since not being subsidized by the games. The existing options for portable gaming all suck. I like having the Switch in bed and on planes.
Only if you’re lucky enough to get one… Also, when I tried a friend’s it felt underpowered, especially running stuff outside of Steam. Not sure if they ever fixed the issues running non-Steam games, though, since that was a few years ago.
I had hoped a new version would come out to improve it and maybe even make enough of them to be available this time 😂. But sounds like it’s still several years out, if ever. I’ve lost my trust in Valve actually delivering things they promise. Burned too many times.
ASUS ROG Ally X, put Linux on it, and you get by all the horrible Windows bloat that makes it crap. It’s great hardware, just the “X-Box” branding and Microslop OS that’s a problem.

Ummm… Steam Deck.
