What do you game on? (links.wageoffsite.com)

What does your battlestation look like? PS4/5, XBox, PC or some oddball Chinese retro handheld?

Almost entirely PC only. I have a bunch of retro consoles but rarely use them.

[-] Jomn@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I used to game on my PC (which is a bit old now), but I now only use my Steam Deck.

[-] fox@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Steam Deck, Analogue Pocket, and a desktop running Pop!_OS

[-] Sago@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

PSVR2 with HonsVR prescription lenses and a Switch.

[-] Raincloud@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

The Switch and my Linux PC. And the Analogue Pocket, love that thing.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Aaaa. So jealous. I have an order out for the pocket that's supposed to be fulfilled sometime this year but no clue when it will actually come

Nintendo Switch, Steam deck, New 3DS, Miyoo mini Plus, RG35XX

PC, been upgrading it piecemeal since windows xp days. currently has these specs https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GcGqH2 I'm due for a gpu upgrade

[-] Garrathian@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

PC, Xbox and Switch mostly. Tend to kind of rotate amongst them depending on what i'm playing and/or with whom im playing with.

After Tears of the Kingdom fever dies down I'd love to see Nintendo come out with an upgraded Switch. I want to see BOTW 3 glisten!

[-] crisisingot@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

These days I'm mostly playing on the switch. I also have a PC but it's more difficult to find time to play on it sometimes since I have to play it at my desk

[-] Senil888@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

For me it's mostly a mix of my Switch and my PC. My fiancé has an OG 3DS we occasionally play some stuff on, and I've been meaning to finish off Paper Mario: Color Splash on our Wii U.

Need to fix up my PC though, thing keeps crashing occasionally and has been for a long time now with no clear reason to why :/ think I've ruled it down to RAM or SSD.

[-] ForNoRaisin@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Combination of PC and Steam Deck, depending on the game, as well as Retro Arch on my phone for the occasional Pokemon ROM hack during my lunch break

[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Mainly PC (running Pop OS) and Switch.

[-] scribblemacher@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I general stick with a GBC or GBA with an Everdrive, as well as a DSi with custom firmware. It gives me the benefit of original hardware without paying the absurd retro game prices.

[-] XLRV@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Do you have a backlight mod for your Gameboys? I'm tempted to mod my GBA but I know I won't use it lol

A laptop running Fedora Linux

[-] cecirdr@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

My vision sucks due to double vision so I have to use handheld to get it close enough to my face to see it. (the farther away things are, the more the two images split apart) So it's Switch and Steam Deck for me.

[-] rodinj@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

PC and Switch, I do have an Xbox One (yes the old one) but it's collecting dust.

I used to be PS / PC, but with Steam, I just game on PC. I have a livingroom PC with xbox controllers for the couch experience, but don't see the point of having a console anymore.

[-] lnklnx@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I have a Gentoo Desktop hooked to a TV for Steam games, plus a Gentoo laptop for casual stuff.

[-] Hexarei@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Mostly Steam Deck these days, though I keep a GPD Win 2 in my pocket most of the time for gaming on the go.

[-] joshuar9476@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I have a PC, Switch, and my Android. I mostly use RetroArch and transfer saves between the PC and Android. I also play Fortnite, but only on the PC. I rarely use the switch.

[-] Null@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

I game on Switch, PC and Android. Recently it's been on Switch mostly, but I alternate between it and PC depending on if I get burned out.

[-] ursabursa@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Split between Switch, RG300 and my very outdated pc.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Primarily my gaming PC, but it's getting pretty old. AMD FX-8350, 16GB RAM, GeForce 1050Ti, lots of storage.

In the living room I have a Switch and Steam Deck, I play the Steam Deck more lately, mostly for co-op games like Stardew and Brawlhalla.

Oh and I still have my fat PS3 hooked up in the living room, played some Rock Band on it this weekend.

[-] millionsofplayers@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Both PC and Switch sometimes. Mostly pc though

[-] wck@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

PC for modern games. Home made arcade cabinet for roms.

[-] preussischblau@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

100% on PC these days, Dual-Booting Linux Mint and Windows 10 on the below hardware:

  • i5 12400F
  • RTX 3050
  • 12 GB RAM
  • 512 GB SSD + 2 TB external HDD
[-] Reddit_Refugee2023@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

A PC I just built this year, I have probably used it more to steam thing then play honestly. I don't have too much time to play things with kids.

[-] Boozilla@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

A custom PC that runs modern games on good settings but is also designed to run quietly. Fan noise bugs me.

I wish I could say that I built it myself (I used to build my own systems, years ago). But instead I paid way too much for it. I'm happy with it, but yeah...build your own if you have the time and energy!

[-] YuzuDrink@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I go back and forth between Steam (PC or Steam Deck) and my Switch, depending on what I'm playing. I do have a PS5 which I'll use mostly for Sony exclusives... like FF16 is going to be a PS5 play for me.

[-] Cowabunghole@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I built my first ever gaming pc this year so I've been trying to get through an infinite backlog of pc games that I've missed over the years. But as of right now all my focus is going towards TOTK on Switch

[-] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] vaelfonia@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Most of the time my PC, but sometimes I'll pull out my DS or PSP.

[-] knokelmaat@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

PS5, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, desktop (Linux and Windows).

[-] cavemeat@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I play games primarily on my pc, but I do occasionally play stuff on a homebrewed switch I have.

[-] RadDevon@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It used to be a desktop gaming PC connected to a TV. I sold my house and went on the road for a bit, so the full-fat gaming PC couldn’t come along. I replaced it with a gaming laptop. I have a SteamDeck that I use on the airplane/train/whatever and occasionally when I don’t feel like getting out the laptop.
