The only thing I still buy from Nintendo is hanafuda. They got some pretty good quality, playable stuff. I guess their shogi equipment isn’t bad either.

Video games though? Nope, not anymore.

And it'll play nearly every video game made since the invention of video games, which is a huge win.

Want to play Diablo? Sure, no problem. Destiny 2? Yep, that's fine. Italian Plumber and Friends Kart Racing? Why yes, that works great.

And yeah, don't have to support a company that hates you only slightly more than it hates people playing their older games.

We regularly play the Wee version of Italian plumber and friends kart racing on the deck. Docked to tv, 4 controllers (Xbox one, ps4, stadia, steam). Really a magnificent machine. For the next version i hope they improve upon the docked experience.

I dispise how the switch will only work with controllers that have received Nintendo's blessing. The switch just uses bluetooth, so why can't I use my wii u and wii controllers that I already own with my switch? Oh right, because Nintendo need more money.

Teach me how to get d2 running on steamdeck

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair, I brainfarted on that one.

I have an Ally, which is running Windows, which does run Destiny 2 and Fortnite and League and whatever else the steamdeck doesn't because of rootkit anticheat.

So I'll restate: you can run almost anything that doesn't need malware to allow you to connect to their servers.

Ahh damn I got my hopes up I thought there was a legit workaround without windows

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 1 points 1 day ago

D2 and Fortnite are keeping me on windows instead of something like Bazzite, so I'm right there with you.

The annoying thing is that battleeye does exist for Linux, but the devs would have to implement it and they're just.... not.

You install Windows on it.

You install what windows or better yet...

Don't play D2

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Several things in your list come with an asterisk, to be fair.

And I can refund the game if I don't like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.
