A particularly fun bit:

So then, how about Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said when it hits "tens of millions of users" that it "would actually make sense to support it". We must be pretty close by now right? Why ignore a platform that's sold multiple millions, and is clearly just continuing to fly off the shelves?

Good. The only thing I imagine as being better, would be a framework like way to upgrade it.

Or it being 5 years in the future with significantly more efficient SOC's and batteries

That being said, the Nintendo DS's last US patents should expire in November. Maybe they could do a dual screen?

Why not 3 screens and a rear touchpad and a mic for blowing into and a camera attachment and a detachable keyboard and detachable left and right controls and a side crank and proprietary memory cards with their own screen and....

Yes to all. Just want to know what I can use the side crank for?

And what would that help with?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you telling me you don't use multiple screens while gaming?

That would be absolutely wonderful. If they could somehow future-proof their board design even if you had to have tech skills to replace it, enthusiasts could do it on their own and people who don't want to could take it to the local tech repair shop.
