I’ve used my Steam Deck as a controller (via remote play) while sitting at my desktop PC. It is by far my favorite of the various controllers I’ve used.

No kidding. “Playable” includes a reason, at least, but we really need a better filter. I know they want to keep things as idiot proof as possible, but “advanced options” exist for a reason.

You called it an expensive paper weight. Insulting something that people like will often prompt them to defend it. It’s perfectly fine to not like something. It’s fine to point out objective flaws in it. However, don’t call something bad (which is essentially what you did) just because you don’t like it. That starts arguments.

To be clear, I don’t want to argue here. I just want to point out an observation that has impacted how and when I state my opinion.

This sounds like a “you” problem.

Does the Switch have any exclusively-online games? That’s a genuine question that I’m interested in for comparison purposes.

I think it’s a load of shit that any single-player experience requires an internet connection. I still know people with shoddy enough connections that they can’t play games like Diablo 4 on their desktop pc. However, I don’t think that it should disqualify a game from being Verified.

You’re down with the Gitness?

Why not squirrel?

sigh I’ll let my wife know…
