I like that she came around. It’s really nice to be able to game anywhere and some games are just better on a handheld.
How can a game just be better on a handheld? That sounds highly subjective.
Yeah, you’re not wrong about it being subjective. I certainly never intended to speak for every denizen of the multiverse.
There are just a lot of games, like Balatro for example, that just don’t compel me on PC.
That's fair. My Steam Deck doesn't get much use, so I was wondering if there was some angle I wasn't considering.
It is subjective, and I agree almost every game is better on a handheld. Even when I have the option to play on my gaming PC at the desk or on the TV, I'll play on Steam Deck or stream to Steam Deck just for the handheld experience.
I've even gotten to the point of playing some RTS games on it with a lot of customized controller profile stuff. It's very intimate and comfortable and looks nice.
