What does your battlestation look like? PS4/5, XBox, PC or some oddball Chinese retro handheld?

Primarily my PC. AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Radeon RX 580, 16Gb RAM, running OpenSUSE as my OS. I have a PS4 I keep around basically just for Bloodborne at this point, and a Switch for Pokémon and Monster Hunter. Less so the second, now that the newer releases are coming to PC.

[–] WithaC@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

PC mainly, AMD 5800X and and a GTX1080. Unfortunately it's located in my bedroom, so so for late night gaming I am limited to my Xbox series X. I do have a Switch sitting in it's dock ready to be used but I don't ever seem to have the desire to do so.

[–] NoxiousPluK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Almost entirely PC only. I have a bunch of retro consoles but rarely use them.

Mostly PC. Windows 10 (I tried Linux and noped out for a number of reasons unrelated to gaming). Nvidia 1070 that's still trucking along just fine and allowing me to play even the newest games (so glad I upgraded not too long before the GPU market went to shit).

Also I fucking love the Nintendo New 3ds XL. Long live the 3ds. It ain't dead to me, and won't be until an actual 3DS successor (aka, another handheld with 3D, and preferably dual-screen, so the switch does not count) appears, however far into the future that may be.

I've seen some cool mods of foldables in controllers that are super cool for 3ds emulators.

Mostly on my PC (Windows 10) and Switch. I also have phases, where I play way to much Legends of Runtera on my smartphone 🤷‍♂️

[–] Garrathian@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

PC, Xbox and Switch mostly. Tend to kind of rotate amongst them depending on what i'm playing and/or with whom im playing with.

After Tears of the Kingdom fever dies down I'd love to see Nintendo come out with an upgraded Switch. I want to see BOTW 3 glisten!

[–] Sago@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

PSVR2 with HonsVR prescription lenses and a Switch.

[–] crisisingot@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

These days I'm mostly playing on the switch. I also have a PC but it's more difficult to find time to play on it sometimes since I have to play it at my desk

[–] Senil888@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

For me it's mostly a mix of my Switch and my PC. My fiancé has an OG 3DS we occasionally play some stuff on, and I've been meaning to finish off Paper Mario: Color Splash on our Wii U.

Need to fix up my PC though, thing keeps crashing occasionally and has been for a long time now with no clear reason to why :/ think I've ruled it down to RAM or SSD.

[–] Raincloud@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Switch and my Linux PC. And the Analogue Pocket, love that thing.

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Aaaa. So jealous. I have an order out for the pocket that's supposed to be fulfilled sometime this year but no clue when it will actually come

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Steam Deck, Linux Desktop, Windows Laptop, sometimes on Nintendo Switch with friends.

[–] Hexarei@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Mostly Steam Deck these days, though I keep a GPD Win 2 in my pocket most of the time for gaming on the go.

[–] wintrparkgrl@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

PC, been upgrading it piecemeal since windows xp days. currently has these specs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GcGqH2 I'm due for a gpu upgrade

[–] DearAll@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

A laptop running Fedora Linux

[–] lnklnx@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I have a Gentoo Desktop hooked to a TV for Steam games, plus a Gentoo laptop for casual stuff.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Mainly PC (running Pop OS) and Switch.

[–] ursabursa@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Split between Switch, RG300 and my very outdated pc.

[–] joshuar9476@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I have a PC, Switch, and my Android. I mostly use RetroArch and transfer saves between the PC and Android. I also play Fortnite, but only on the PC. I rarely use the switch.

[–] rodinj@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

PC and Switch, I do have an Xbox One (yes the old one) but it's collecting dust.

Primarily my gaming PC, but it's getting pretty old. AMD FX-8350, 16GB RAM, GeForce 1050Ti, lots of storage.

In the living room I have a Switch and Steam Deck, I play the Steam Deck more lately, mostly for co-op games like Stardew and Brawlhalla.

Oh and I still have my fat PS3 hooked up in the living room, played some Rock Band on it this weekend.

[–] Null@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

I game on Switch, PC and Android. Recently it's been on Switch mostly, but I alternate between it and PC depending on if I get burned out.

[–] scribblemacher@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I general stick with a GBC or GBA with an Everdrive, as well as a DSi with custom firmware. It gives me the benefit of original hardware without paying the absurd retro game prices.

[–] XLRV@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do you have a backlight mod for your Gameboys? I'm tempted to mod my GBA but I know I won't use it lol

My vision sucks due to double vision so I have to use handheld to get it close enough to my face to see it. (the farther away things are, the more the two images split apart) So it's Switch and Steam Deck for me.

[–] mounderfod@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

PC for me, steam deck was a bit pricey for my liking but I do have a laptop and I intend on getting it set up as a mini gaming rig before I leave for a holiday this summer (will be in a place where the weather is either 35°C and sunny or pissing it down with rain lol)

The PC has Steam and GOG and Epic (god I wish there was less fragmentation) but also Prism for Minecraft and Ryujinx for playing ToTK and Pokémon Scarlet

[–] KeavesSharpi@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I used to be PS / PC, but with Steam, I just game on PC. I have a livingroom PC with xbox controllers for the couch experience, but don't see the point of having a console anymore.

[–] ForNoRaisin@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Combination of PC and Steam Deck, depending on the game, as well as Retro Arch on my phone for the occasional Pokemon ROM hack during my lunch break

[–] computerfan0@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I mostly use my Linux Mint PC and the family Nintendo Switch. I also have a PS5 and a 3DS which get occasional use.

[–] mananevergone@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Wii/GameCube for me (also PC just for Slippi)

[–] wck@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

PC for modern games. Home made arcade cabinet for roms.

Some Lenovo desktop I got on sale at Costco in December. Was waffling between AMD and Intel (GPU is Nvidia 3060), went with Intel because all my research indicated it was better performing at the price than Ryzen, but I have no idea if my use case makes a difference. I am still using a 27'' 1080p monitor I got probably 10 years ago.

Immediately put Linux on it without ever booting into Windows. I tried to get Fedora and Pop OS working, but for some strange reason it did not work. Ended up going with MX Linux, which I love.

[–] Kamirose@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Mostly PC, but I recently pulled my Switch out again and have been playing on that lately.

[–] 1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

In order of frequency: Steam Deck, Switch, PC (linux)

Xbox One used to get some use, but not much anymore. Now and then I'll pull out the NES, Genesis or Intellivision for some retro gaming.

[–] YuzuDrink@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I go back and forth between Steam (PC or Steam Deck) and my Switch, depending on what I'm playing. I do have a PS5 which I'll use mostly for Sony exclusives... like FF16 is going to be a PS5 play for me.

[–] knokelmaat@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

PS5, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, desktop (Linux and Windows).

[–] vaelfonia@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Most of the time my PC, but sometimes I'll pull out my DS or PSP.
