    I have to say. I love playing on the switch. I love how portable and practical it is. I hate the ergonomics in handheld mode though. I have to use an accessory. And yeah, the performance is pretty mediocre when games have advanced graphics or bad programming.

    But as time goes by, with emulation, and access to every PC game title and all the ways you can plug stuff and hack the thing, the Steam Deck is looking more and more like a really good alternative and it’s kind of making me regret ever getting the switch, which I originally got because of Zelda, really.

      I never played my Switch in handheld mode without instant hand pain until I got the Satisfye hand grip. I’ll sound like an infomercial for that thing but it’s true. It increased my handheld playtime but a thousand fold. Xenoblade, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime - anything that uses the shoulder buttons basically - only able to play handheld due to that stupid grip.

      I’ve got a Steam Deck as well, which is great, but that grip made it possible to use my Switch again without having to take over the living room TV.
