Yeah, but now you can buy an all-in-one convenient PC to plug on your TV with almost 100% retro compatibility, it's called the Steam Deck and it's awesome.

I left my steam deck but it's no replacement for an actually high-end PC

But it is a replacement for a console like I told the person I replied to.

It may not be a replacement, though they can work hand in hand amazingly.

I've found that as long as I leave my pc running at home, I'm able to just hop on 4G mobile data through my phone and stream the vast majority of games.

I wouldn't try this for multi-player games, but when I want to play Warhammer when I'm away this does the trick!

Or even at home, no more hauling the pc to the TV. Stick it in the corner, and simply stream over wifi.

Personally the only games not able to played on my deck are games like Starfield, which thankfully doesn't bother me one bit. (Though it worked perfectly being streamed from my 1660ti).

Now if you're a graphics snob then no, the deck can not compare to a pc. But neither can a console.

Can't if they don't sell in your country

Does the deck dock to TV? I always thought the Switch should have a pro dock to upscale when docked.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yup, you can buy the official dock or really any usb-C dock. Resolution can be set, so you can even do 4k on it if the tv supports it and the deck can handle it for that game
