I really not agree here. The final experience have to take into account all of that.

If it’s a device I just want to plug toy tv and enjoy all those features may hold higher value than more ram.

It’s like comparing two cars looking only at the engine. Discarding of one has AC and the others don’t.

Maybe for a thinkerer that could be a sensible comparison but for a non thinkerer like myself now (I used to be) those features holds a lot of value.

With the same form factor, noise level, CEC, wake on USB, optimized sleep/resume? Just having a set of component with similar performance on paper is not having the same device.

It’s a bad comparison to make.

Expedition 33 is often high discounted on instant gaming.

It’s 40% off now https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/17015-buy-clair-obscur-expedition-33-pc-steam/

As an Italian I’m really ashamed of our government.

And sick of other Italians that continue to support this continue shrink of democracy.

History repeats itself.

As a father of two the best gaming thing that happened to me was my steam deck.

Biggest selling point is the sleep/resume.

It works perfectly on a lot of games and allowed me to finish for example control in short-ish sessions.

I would add Outer Wilds to the list.

You can really only play it once in a lifetime but I think it’s the best video game experiences available.

Honorable mention for Tunic and Cocoon for the same reason

Prepping as already suggested helps a lot. But make use of appliances too.

A fish fillet can cook in the oven in 40 minutes but does not require care while cooking.

A slow cooker is a god send. You can start your ribs the night before and they’ll be ready for lunch.

Then pasta takes 10 minute to cook and you can just prep some veggies/souces in advance.

For a game it has to be Outer Wilds…

And please do yourself a favor and play it the one time you’re allowed in this lifetime if you’ve not yet done it, as you can.

I had a “portable” 286 PC with DOS. And two games. Bubbles Bubbles and a game with two chimps throwing Bananas at each other.
