I hate flowery language like "now adorably all digital". What the fuck is adorable about it being all digital?

the same way that removing a headphone jack is courageous, i guess

I mean based on the backlash one could argue it was courageous no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

yeah i guess i can't argue with that…

Y’know, I can’t think of a lot of adjectives to use for “all digital,” but “adorably” sure af is not one of them.

I think it's a reference to it's smaller size.

Then go "now smaller, adorable, and all digital" or something that doesn't sound completely daft.

You're not stuck to only Steam on a computer, whereas you are stuck on a console

Steam is entirely digital only.

Yeah. But guess what, you can buy a disk drive. You can install another game launcher. You can even pir-[removed].

There are inherently more options on PC than there are on a console.
