@FaiqYasen @Wario64 It's not "anti-consumer" to give consumers a reason to buy into your ecosystem. Lack of good exclusives is fundamentally what lead Xbox to where they are now. You don't understand what the word means.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Forgot to mention it goes very well with earl grey too

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 You eat brunost on a slice of the coarsest wholegrain bread with the saltiest, best aged butter (Kviteseidsmør), and it goes well with milk, coffee and hot chocolate

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 The normies don't know the whey

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 A lot of normies (non-turophiles) nowadays hardly know about half of those cheeses within Norway, let alone foreigners, but they're there if you look. Brunost is being exported to South Korea now, where it's trendy, but otherwise a lot of the cheeses are hidden gems still.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Tariffs≠closed market. You'll find most of the usual suspects (brie, camembert, feta, edamer, blue cheese, chèvre, cheddar, parmesan etc.) on top of Jarlsberg and the traditional pultost, brunost, skjørost, surmyssmør, gammalost, søst/gomme etc. which you won't find elsewhere.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@BitLeedsy @velaerad @Microinteracti1 Nothing beats pultost. The typical continental cheeses everyone already knows about, even "aquired tastes" like the Sardinian casu merzu, but Norway has traditional cheeses that are novel to outsiders. Brunost even made a big hit in South Korea for some reason

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb My point was at any rate not at all that the Steam Deck doesn't have a big enough library, but that the hardware itself is not up to snuff even for current gen AAA. You do want a handheld that handles both indie, AA and graphically demanding AAA now and moving forward.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb Not talking about the totality of the PC library, which is orders of magnitude bigger, just recent-ish, platform-agnostic, handheld-optimised, controller-centric games of some repute. The kind of game you'd actually want to play on either Switch or Steam Deck, not Dwarf Fortress.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb I already admitted it can't play PC exclusives, which goes without saying. But the vast majority of the same AA and indies are on there anyway. So instead of playing game A and B on both PC and Steam Deck, I'd rather make a choice and play game A on PC and game B on Switch 2

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@LinuxMostly @Rustolla76 @carygolomb Yeah, the Steam Deck is too outdated for current gen AAA, and grossly overpriced now. Steam Machine will be the same story, yet neither is necessary for a Steam launcher or SteamOS anyway. Valve fanboys ignore facts and are oddly protective of their hardware for some reason.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb Heck, even a graphically simple indie game like Mins the Hollower is better on Switch 2 because you can do 120 Hz both handheld and docked. Almost any indie darling, AA hidden gem and especially newer AAA is simply a lot better to play on Switch 2

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb You obviously can't play the odd PC exclusive but you can play better versions of multiplat AAA games. A handheld should be complementary with its own unique gimmicks and exclusive games. Saying UE5 is trash is cope when Switch 2 handles a game like Indiana Jones a lot better.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb The RDNA 2 APU is outdated and has the shittiest upscaler in FSR1-3 (DLSS, XeSS, MetalFX, literally all other scalers are preferable). Look at current gen games like Star Wars Outlaws and Indiana Jones, Switch 2 and think again. The Steam Deck handles UE5 like trash in comparison

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb I know but for me Steam is the go to for PC games meaning I play them on gaming desktops or laptops, not handhelds, while Switch 2 is much better specced for handheld AAA gaming too, not just Nintendo IP.

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@DiffusionFurry @AncientArgonaut @Wario64 GBC games were never intended to be displayed on a CRT anyway, although it was possible on the SNES. There are other filters they could add, emulating different kinds of old LCD screens, like the Analogue Pocket. Main issue is such low res doesn't scale great to massive screens

[Jotlar Steinarsson @Jotlar]

@Rustolla76 @LinuxMostly @carygolomb No, but you could use the opportunity to find new games incl. exclusives you haven't already played in your Steam library, instead of buying a $7-800 overpriced device to play the same games you're already playing on PC. Switch 2 also has DLSS and punches way above its weight
