What makes you prefer the experience of a switch?

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I work with computers. At the end of the work day, I don't want to even see a computer. Also, it's way more comfortable for me to play on the TV, sitting on my couch rather than on my computer desk. Although for this kind of game in general I prefer mouse and keyboard. But if it runs ok on Switch, I generally prefer it to a computer.

Fair enough, I'm actually interested in going over to PC gaming but, outside of it being prohibitively expensive, I imagined the setup as a couch and tv setup. I amy have to reevaluate

A PC will outlast a console by far, is way more powerful and can easily fit in a couch and tv setup.

In terms of convenience, is it comparable? I'd love it for the mods and piracy and better prices for content but are there work arounds for having it turn on and off with a console controller etc. I don't want to have to sign on everytime and open steam etc.

You can have any OS open and sign in automatically along with automatically opening Steam with big picture mode on.
