PC

  • Ryzen 3700x
  • 32gb ram
  • RTX 3080 ti
  • Linux

Steam Deck

My last consoles were the Xbox 360 & PS4, but haven't touched those in years, went all in on the PC rig

[–] NoxiousPluK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Mostly on my PC (Windows 10) and Switch. I also have phases, where I play way to much Legends of Runtera on my smartphone 🤷‍♂️

[–] Raincloud@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] waver002@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

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

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

[–] Pegistia@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

This is a PC household, I gave my 3 kids their own computers and steam accounts and I have a PC and a steam deck I don't think my kids even know how to use a controller

[–] 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.

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

PSVR2 with HonsVR prescription lenses and a Switch.

[–] joshuar9476@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Mainly PC (running Pop OS) and Switch.

[–] rodinj@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] lnklnx@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Null@pawb.social 4 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] scribblemacher@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] wagesof@links.wageoffsite.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love some links for more info on that stuff!

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

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.

[–] KeavesSharpi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] DearAll@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

A laptop running Fedora Linux

[–] 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

[–] Elbullazul@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Built myself a PC for this express purpose, but have been getting bored with videogames lately.

specs: windows (ugh), ryzen 5600x, 32Gb ram, radeon rx 6800 16GB

[–] computerfan0@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I mostly use my Linux Mint PC and the family Nintendo Switch. I also have a PS5 and a 3DS which get occasional use.

[–] mananevergone@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Wii/GameCube for me (also PC just for Slippi)

[–] wck@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Kamirose@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Mostly PC, but I recently pulled my Switch out again and have been playing on that lately.

[–] DidacticDumbass@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Some Lenovo desktop I got on sale at Costco in December. Was waffling between AMD and Intel (GPU is Nvidia 3060), went with Intel because all my research indicated it was better performing at the price than Ryzen, but I have no idea if my use case makes a difference. I am still using a 27'' 1080p monitor I got probably 10 years ago.

Immediately put Linux on it without ever booting into Windows. I tried to get Fedora and Pop OS working, but for some strange reason it did not work. Ended up going with MX Linux, which I love.

[–] 1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

In order of frequency: Steam Deck, Switch, PC (linux)

Xbox One used to get some use, but not much anymore. Now and then I'll pull out the NES, Genesis or Intellivision for some retro gaming.

[–] krum@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

desktop running Void Linux, though considering grabbing a Steam Deck at some point
