    Yes, I’m on my second week of sick leave in Germany, struggling to get rid of some virus & laryngitis that I got on a work trip, so now I have to rest and not speak at all.

    Currently playing TLOU on my PS Portal. It feels “wrong”, but then I realize I’d rather be healthy and back to work (and also do more productive personal things that I can’t now, like go to the gym).

      I forgot Sony made that. Why not get a Steam Deck, or one of the alternatives? The portal doesn’t have any storage, and if you have stick drift you have to buy another.

        I would assume it’s because they would like to play PlayStation games, not PC games.

          But isn’t just cloud gaming? Which needs a solid connection… Unlike every other handheld system, that has the games on storage, or cartridge? I don’t understand cloud gaming.

            If you’re living in a home with modern wi-fi and fiber Internet, the latency isn’t much worse than a typical 4K TV outside of its built-in game mode. For many, many titles on console, this type of input lag is acceptable.

            Admittedly I know the product isn’t very popular, but for those who enjoy PS games, it’s a pretty neat device.

            Personally I just keep stuff on my PS5 and if I can’t be in my living room I guess I’ll wait to play :-)

            It helps that I also own a Steam Deck
