Millennial in the US. These are my main devices: iPhone, gaming pc, steam deck, and an old MacBook Pro.

• iPhone - general phone use, killing time browsing Lemmy when I should be working, playing roms, and Pokémon GO.
• Gaming pc - primary. I prefer doing everything here including shopping because fuck shopping on a phone, I’m a millennial and for big purchases I have to use a big screen and a computer.
• Steam Deck - mobile PC gaming for couch and occasions I’m away from home for a long time.
• MacBook - secondary PC, only when I need a PC and don’t want or can’t be at my desk.

Honestly with how far right big tech has moved, along with the predatory tracking and telemetry, I’m considering giving up smart phones for good. Not sure I even want to bother switching to a Pixel with Graphene OS after my iPhone is done.

I miss simplicity, so I’m actively evaluating if a dumb phone (or even an e-ink dumb phone) is right for me. I’m also evaluating lugging my laptop around when I’m out and about because I can simply buy mobile service and plug in a USB cell modem if I need internet. My old 2012 MacBook Pro running Linux doesn’t track me and treat me like data cattle, so it may be worth carrying that around since I don’t get the same feeling of disgust compared to when I look at my smartphone.

Big tech ruined everything.

Edit: on mobile, fixed some typos

Why are you in the Nintendo community for console gamers commenting about emulation?

I have a PC that I built that runs Linux Mint. I have a Steam Deck. I can also emulate whatever game I want.

Some Nintendo fans just want to buy Nintendo things and enjoy the experience because they love the games. Let gamers enjoy games no matter how they want to play them.

I am also excited for this new console and will be watching it to see if it’s a good fit me in the future.
