of course fun exists, its not just a buzzword.
its just not the most important factor and has metrics

do you:

a) get a switch, have moderate fun (A) for several hours (B) per few titles (C)
run out of money (something of an X factor)

b) get a pc, have good fun (A) for several hours (B) per MANY MANY TITLES (C)
re-coup the hardware investment
turn money into more money
(not stop ... ?)

ignoring any and all finance, PC solves for a higher fun value (AxBxC) every time because:
A) More genres represented, so the "most fun" one can be determined and played
B) PC games are longer, no battery issues etc
C) Massive game library you're seriously unlikely to ever get through

you basically always empirically have more fun on pc

Fruit is proof that the gods exist and love us.

Just kidding!

Life is meaningless
PC is only empirically better when you have unlimited time and limited money. Many adults have more money than time so a Nintendo that you can play doom on in the doctors office is more appealing than getting from dust for 25% off on your grease box. Both in moderation is best

this guys third eye is wide open



1280 x 720 = 921,600
3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400

8,294,400/921,600 = 9

so not a lot of people realise this but when you step up from 720p to 4k you arent making a minoir leap at all ; thats 9 times the resolution / pixel count

factor in double the fps?
sure, now thats 18 times

EIGHTEEN TIMES

the pixels per second on the screen
but what does the switch thread say
what does r/switch say when i post the same

"doesnt matter"

you bet anything any loving thing a switch 2 that reliably did better resolution would all of a loving sudden matter though

hoensly the mental gymnastics you have to do over the years as a nintendo fan must be exhasting
do you keep noted to keep up?

reasons to own a switch: multiple 2017 goty games already on it, classic nintendo library dating back to the original nes, protable fun gaming on the go
reasons to own a pc: addicted to counter strike, steam trading cards and loot boxes, humble bundle keeps giving me free games

When I said a big appeal to me is that the nintendo switch can be played in portable mode, someone responded that computers can hook up to TVs too

Also it's because they want to pay $7.99 max for first party Nintendo releases

Instead of it being a Nintendo Switch release, Super Mario Odyssey should have been an ios game for $8.99 and Nintendo is stupid for not doing this

Yeah they were asking me why I said I'd play Skyrim on the Switch and not the PC and I said the portability is a huge factor as I am married with two kids and cannot sit in an office by myself hunched over a computer screen. And their takeaway from that was that I should just get a long hdmi cable and wireless keyboard and mouse for my living room TV (so that I can hog the entirety of a different room instead I guess????)

I still blow people's minds when I show them that you can plug two Dreamcast VMUs into each other to copy saves. These are people who own a Dreamcast. What a cool system.

For some reason I think the graphics on it were better than the PS2, even though that's technically impossible.
