2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

As someone with the Steam Deck OLED and a Nintendo switch 2 with the LCD screen, I couldn’t imagine paying Ally X prices for an LCD screen.

Deck OLED screen is far and away the best option and I got it for sub $700 back when it launched.

NS2 is incredible piece of kit for the price, and the best way to play any Nintendo exclusives… but I’d rather play any multiplat games on deck OLED.

Well, at least Valve isn;t actively evil.

Nintendo spends more money on lawsuits than they do development and has no concept of quality control these days as opposed to everything up to the NN3DS that still works, even my original brick of a Gameboy. I went through three Switches, before trying to just copy out my saves, only to find they had sued the guy who wrote the utility to protect their crappy cloud storage they use to justify the worst paid online service ever created.

They earned a reputation, and now they ride on it, with inferior hardware and terrible corporate greed as well as an actively antagonistic approach to customers and developers both.

But, to be fair, my ROG Flow tablet from several years ago plays Nintendo games better than Nintendo hardware via Eden. So I guess they are justified in their paranoia as everything works much better now that I quit giving them money.

Well, almost, still have some issues with Xenoblade 2 that played fine on official Nintendo hardware.... Until it broke, again, and they wanted to charge me more to fix it than the whole machne was worth. Losing a $100 pre-order complete pacakge is a smal price to pay for not having to put up with their horrible hardware..
