This is so extremely dirty & hosed up that not once did I ever wonder why it's always been called "PSX". Thinking about it now, maybe I just assumed it was retroactively labeled that to keep abbreviations neat at three characters, and the "X" denoted a lack of number. It wasn't called the "PlayStation 1" after all.

I plug it into the tv instead of streaming but you might get better results if you didnt use the apple tv as a middle man

Yeah, the problem is my PC is not on the same floor as my TV so doing a direct HDMI connection isn't happening. I might run Ethernet through the basement and pull it up to the living room and see if that gives me a better connection, along with maybe dropping the ATV and getting a Shield or something instead. I definitely would love to be able to play PC games on the couch.

3 hours in and im not a kena fan so far.
The level design is like the most boring parts of 3rd person aaa games but done on an indie budget so theres no variety when you are doing the lame uncharted climbing or beating up the same tree dude enemy in the nth combat arena.
The level design is also pretty disorienting and im never sure if im taking the correct path to progress.
Combat is tuned poorly. The only options are story mode: enemies rarely ever attack or normal mode: hope you are great at parrying or else you will die and reload and hard mode: lol if you got gud at this dumb game.
It looks pretty good tho.

Normal mode is pretty tough but I don't feel the need to parry that often. There's a couple boss fights that really need it but otherwise I mainly roll and shield. Agreed about the level design though, I feel like I'm checking the map a lot. There's some cool mechanics in the game as it opens up, well worth sticking with for a couple more hours imo.

Yeah i use a gaming laptop in my living room so i can play whether i got the tv or not. Just about the only decent use case for one ive found. Fits good under the tv too.

I have to look at the map constantly is pretty frustrating

1) She asked to watch a movie with him a few months ago and he has not done it yet because he's been busy. This particular movie is like 90 minutes long and she's been asking since April
2) Instead of putting away laundry he just throws his clothes over a non functioning tv, because he has no furniture, which he claims is because the apartment is really strict about packages... FRIENDO

My 12 year old daughter did pretty great at the combat and never parried. Once she got the bow, hardly ever swung the staff, either.

i don't like playing my switch not because it's a flimsy plastic whatever (which it is) but because the controllers are designed for the hands of 6-year-olds and i can literally never figure out which button is which even when the on screen prompt tells me what button to press.

code:
  x
y   a
  b
is the most absurd layout. maybe because i actually have the xbox controller mapped in my brain from when i had a 360 for a while. also ZR and ZL just don't register in my brain properly. i know a trigger from a bumper (are they still called that?) on xbox but the switch just legit doesn't make sense to me. i'm willing to admit that this is a me problem, but also the fact that every button is so small and way too close to each other is objective criticism.

not to mention the games are all pretty ho-hum who cares. the only game i have ever finished on my switch is A Short Hike, which is coming to playstation anyway. and it's a great game so you should buy it when it comes out.

This is kinda what I was thinking but when I realised all I wanted to do with it was play lovely versions of games I already played coupled with the fact that it will feel lovely to play them as well my idea of switch ownership went straight in the bin

The little bit of botw i played did not impress me much
