    Thank you for the comprehensive response, and please don’t apologise for the length of it. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. I agree with what you’ve said - I rarely play pc and when I do, PvP is a bad move. Honestly I don’t find any joy in multiplayer now, everything is hyper...

    I’m mostly waiting to see if the switch 2 will be backwards compatible in any fashion right now, as I have quite a few games for it. I have been tempted by a ROG ally, but I’ve heard windows is rough on a handheld

    Thanks for the input, I think you’re probably right. I could absolutely sell my switch but I think I would miss it. I’m still a big kid in many ways and I like my Nintendo games and indies that run great on switch, steam deck would be for different games

    Thanks for the feedback! I have an hp omen with an i7 8750h, 16gb ram and a gtx 1060 6gb, so some of the most recent stuff really doesn’t run on it at all. As far as it goes, the steam deck would be a primarily a convenience purchase, as I would be able to play it sat on the sofa etc

    Ludology/cybernetics/game design. Specifically I’m looking at left 4 dead 2, so that’s on my laptop for research and I barely play anything. I think you think I’m putting hours into gaming every week which isn’t the case at all. I think being as blunt as ‘sell all your things’ isn’t massively...

    I wouldn’t say so, the entire reason my life is balanced the way it is, is to be a good husband and dad :) I only ask about this stuff because with games forming a good part of my professional life, it is important to work out where it fits and how best to engage with it

    EDIT: my kids and wife are my priority. Games form part of my professional life though so it’s good to discuss these things. Okay, a little context needed here. I was a console gamer with some light pc gaming for many years, then from 21-30 was really into my pc. Alongside that I’ve always...
