    My wife and kid like to game handheld, but I myself prefer to sit down on the couch and play on a controller

      It’s my only gaming system right now, although notably I’m not one of those people who thinks that anything under 4k @ 60fps is literally unplayable since I switched over from an old potato PS4 that I gave to a friend and I play on a pretty shit 720p TV too. I often play with it plugged into the TV, and use an old PS4 controller to play, and I’ve been prefectly happy. The quality’s about the same I got on the PS4, but the library’s sooo much bigger, and since it’s a mobile device I can play in bed too if I feel like it.

        I really like that I can play all my steam games on it. I don’t have a gaming PC, but I can run anything from around the ps3 era like sleeping dogs which runs well on mine, and even newer non heavy duty games. So I do have a good 20 games I’ve bought over time on my library

          Yeah the heavier duty stuff I play are eg. RDR2, Cyberpunk and Starfield (yeah yeah I know, I’m stupid, ugly, bad and wrong). RDR2 and Cyberpunk run just fine “out of the box” and look like the PS4 version did or even a bit better (although like I said I have a 🥔 TV), but admittedly Starfield can occasionally be an exercise in masochism. Works better than you’d expect though especially if you sacrifice more of the graphics, but it requires a bunch of fiddling with INI files because of course it does. Hilariously it looks worse than eg. RDR2 or Cyberpunk despite especially RDR2 being like 6 years old, again because of course it does.

          Fantastic fucking system, really couldn’t be more pleased.
