It’s my only PC, so I’ve used it quite a bit, although not as much as I thought I would?
I got it day one and played it a fair bit last year (about as much as my PS5), but recently I’ve been playing on PS5 (and Series X, to a lesser extent) a lot more. It hasn’t been collecting dust too much, as I’m still using it as a regular old PC, but certainly not daily.

Yep, I remember doing it at least a couple years in a row in elementary school (I might have been 9 or 10?) - this was in France, in the early 00s.

Well, Spotify Duo is going up by $2, so that’s not exactly it.

I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much during ending credits before…

Pixel 6 Pro running GrapheneOS, which I got a couple months ago. Pixel phones are the only ones compatible with GrapheneOS, otherwise I would’ve kept my Samsung phone tbh

Saturn controller hands down. The d-pad is the best ever and the overall layout is great for fighting games / anything 2d.

In more recent memories though, the Dualsense (Edge) would be my favourite.

I really love my Analogue Pocket, but I (quite literally five minutes ago) just bought a Miyoo Mini Plus, for the convenience of save states everywhere.
I fear I won’t be able to help you choose either, haha. I feel like it’s always a “struggle” between getting the most authentic experience and just convenience, really.
The Miyoo might ultimately make it easier for you to pick up and play in short bursts, if that’s what you’re after.

Some do, but much fewer than on Game Pass, it’s not the model Sony is trying to push.
That being said, you’ll usually find first-party titles after a year or so (but they might not stay indefinitely).
I would recommend taking a look at gamika.me if you want to get an idea of how both services compare. I personally enjoy both, maybe for slightly different reasons? I still think PS Plus Extra is a great deal though!

The in-app image viewer is such a welcome feature!
thank you all for your hard work and contributions to making our experience on Lemmy so nice

anti-cheat isn’t an issue per se, as long as game developers decide to add the required files to their games (eg what Apex: Legends devs did a year or so ago, around the time the Steam Deck launched, to ensure proper Proton compatibility), but in short - yes, many online games will still require you to dual boot anyways, unfortunately.

i’m no content creator, so i can’t recommend good alternatives to the apps you mentioned, however OBS works flawlessly on most Linux distros, so you should have zero issues with live streaming.

oh and i would say driver support is usually better on the Linux side, although I think Debian based distros (like PopOS) might lag a bit behind compared to other distros? this might be outdated knowledge though, so take that with a pinch of salt

nice, thanks for taking the initiative!
