venerable

Is the Steam deck... Not new?

[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

One reading of ‘to venerate’ suggests you respect the thing for its advanced age. Another is just straight up synonymous with ‘well respected’.

It does feel slightly off as a choice of words, I don’t think it’s strictly wrong.

Not strictly wrong, but it's a really weak choice stylistically. Feels like that thesaurus tab was open for about twenty seconds.

I mean, it is a three year old device by now. While I wouldn’t consider it old, it’s definitely not new anymore.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Can we think of a newer (noteworthy) console and/or handheld release?

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

ROG Ally and similar devices. And if rumours are to be believed, very soon the Switch 2

Feels like there are boxes left un-ticked.
