It is certainly the most convenient interface, and that's what makes it enticing.

I don't think I'll ever trust one source enough to use it like that, though.

I wish I had the patience to like this game. It seems so well made.

Seems like fairly civilized conversation in here tbh, I dont really see anyone getting personal. This is the kind of conversation everyone wanted Lemmy to have someday, right? Except for your comment, that one is pretty mean spirited with no intention of joining in the existing conversation and mine, which is taking the bait.

Good to see you're still around, Drag. Hope you're doing well!

In the US I use the app to get 2 mcchickens and a large fry on Friday for $4. Does the job just fine.

We also have a $5 mcdouble, 4pc mcnugget, small fry and small drink combo. You can't just walk in and order what you want if you want a good price, unfortunately - but theres still some value to be had if you at least try - that $5 combo is on the app, drive through board, and the in store kiosk.

You can always just not switch it into desktop mode, but hey you know what you want out of a console more than I do, it just seems odd to pick based between steamdeck and switch for that reason. Usually, I would expect people to make that choice based on the game library they want access to.

If the host has Plex pass other accounts dont need it to watch, iirc.

Never is a strong word. Element has made a lot of progress and I can see the potential in it to compete with some of these platforms.

But no, it's not there yet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Nvidia has the worst drivers by far right now. 50 series cards are crashing left and right.

Well, using OBS to put together the different aspects of video and audio that you want, then outputting a virtual camera source for another app to pick up seems like it could work for you if you spend the time setting it up.... Except for anyone that doesn't have the internet to see a video stream - that seems tough to work with.

There is a downside, and that's why Switch 1 games have an option to become digital cartridges and it is not forced.

The downside resides in if a single account has multiple switches. With the current system, you have a primary switch on your account, and this switch can play any digital title whenever it wants. Any secondary switches on that account need to connect to the internet anytime they want to play a title. This leads to a flow where you may have your primary switch be a portable one (no need for internet to boot) and a secondary switch to be a dedicated at-home or docked device. Either switch can play any game you own without really planning much of anything. This will not be possible with the new system, where you will need to move digital licenses between consoles.

Additionally, you could have a friends account on your switch and you could borrow games that way, or they could sign in and play their games on your console while visiting you without having planned it before. Now, they will have to bring their own switch or otherwise preplan wanting to play a game on another console, and move that digital cartridge.

While I do think the new system is overall better, I also think its just wrong to claim there are no downsides when compared to the current system.

They can also look into an MMO mouse for more buttons.
