Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It's literally the same price as the dualsense edge. You overestimating the capacity for reason among "console enthusiasts".

Like I said, I'd consider that enthusiast level hardware. People who game "professionally" or love real flashy things. You can also spend $1000s to make coffee, or get a $10 French press.

So what's your point? That people who will pay this price do exist, or that they don't?

Because now I feel like you're trying to claim the former, to argue the latter.

A streaming device is not enthusiast hardware.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Again, I'm confused, are you saying there are people who will buy this, or not?

And that's a subjective and arbitrary claim. It has no logical merit in arguing for or against whether people will consider this thing worth the price.

Not, but I think the point has been lost at this point so let's just move on.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Ok. I was confused because then your argument essentially becomes "there are people who will spend a lot of money on their hobbies and professions due to intense emotional investment, but not on this".

I agree that the device, based on what we know, is dumb as hell, but I am also pretty sure, that a lot of playstation players will buy, and even enjoy, this thing.

I mean, I use my SteamDeck ten meters from my PC, just so I can play on the sofa instead of an office chair for a bit.
