      Likewise. The Switch 2 is a very nice handheld, but it doesn’t hold a candle to having a never-locked-down x86 PC in your hands.

        it also costs half as much as a steamdeck.

        you’re comparing a Civic to a BMW3 series and asking why the Civic doesn’t have leather seats and a 5K audio system.

      the only console outside of my Steam Deck that i still occasionally use is my old Nintendo DS, because of it’s small form factor and my seemingly undying M3 card lol

        Back when Nintendo made good consoles. My 3DS has been my daily driver since 2012, and so far only needed to replace the thumbstick because the rubber degraded. It’s a little tank and I love it.

          I had to replace my DS because the hinge broke, which was pretty common back then. I scored myself a used one from the revision a few years back, where they made the hinges more robust.
