!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Your machine serves you, not the other way around.

However there is such a thing as budgeting and spending money wisely.

I have a high end machine and I also have emulated GBA games on it. (I also play modern titles)

I do know someone who has a high end osrs machine, not wise spending.

I emulate GBA games on my beast of a gaming PC if I'm home because that's the most comfy setup

If I leave, I used to use my hacked PSP and manually synch the files, then it was my hacked Vita and a program that synched them automatically, and now I use retroafch and my steam deck so my files are synched automatically without even having to think about it

Everyone I know who's just playing emulators is doing so on their phones these days anyway

I used to use my hacked PSP as well but now instead I RDP if I'm casually gaming. And if I can't RDP I just take it as a break from gaming.

Steam Deck absolutely changed my habits. I played more Elden Ring on it than I have my high end gaming PC. It's just more convenient to turn on a play. Where lately, my gaming PC distracts me with emails, YouTube, random kinks like it can't see my controller.

I don't think Ill ever buy a gaming PC anymore and might fully switch to buying Steam Decks every few years.
