Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Lmao.
Subnautica is on sale on the Switch this week, and I've been meaning to play it for a while. But I'm not sure if I should just play it on PC instead.
If you prefer the form factor of the Switch, go for it. All else being equal, it's definitely better on PC. (Less buggy, mod tools, better graphics, mouse control..)
All these people talking up either PC features or Switch formfactors, and no one's bringing up Steam Deck...
Highly recommend getting one, then you don't need to split your library.
Steam Deck is the best. The openness of PC gaming, the handheldness of the Switch.
This is by far my fave feature so far. There is no question, if it's available on PC I get it on PC
Well I already have a Switch, and Steam Decks are expensive. So, should I spend $20 on a new game, or $600 on a new platform?
While it's still expensive, you can get the base model Steam Deck for $400 and put in a $50 512GB SSD off of Amazon. The only reason to buy anything other than the $400 model is if money is no concern and you want the etched screen and a premium case. The SSD swap takes like 5 minutes.

They sure can smell an opportunity.
i've played on both: the draw distance is very low on switch. aiming is much smoother with a mouse, but piloting the subs are funner with controller imo (you can use both on pc)
