Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.

For the last few years I’ve gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don’t think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.

How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?

    My computer is a Frankenstein of components from the past 15 years or so. I probably won’t stop upgrading, simply because when something goes bad, replacing it with something better is usually reasonable enough to make sense.

    Also because whatever gremlin lives in there causes crashes around 9 months after every upgrade. At this point, the entire thing has been ship of theseus’d at least once (usually 2-3 times), so I have no idea what it could be. But each time, I can narrow it to a specific part, which I replace and then it goes away for another 9-ish months.

    Edit: I got distracted and didn’t answer the question. Tl;Dr: No, because using the deck for something intensive or performance dependent like competitive or AAA titles is insane to me.
