    Energy efficiency is not at all related to game optimization and how well it runs. Atleast in this sense.

      When the software isn’t efficient that’s bad coding(not in this case), it has absolutely everything to do with optimization. No one is going to say a game is well-optimized if it drains your battery in 5 minutes. You need to have nuance and admit when your favorite thing doesn’t win every in every metric. Lemmy has a steam deck circlejerk refusing to acknowledge that other handhelds may be better in some ways this is coming from someone would gladly to pick the SD over everything else.

        I would love to know which games the deck and the Nintendo can both run and the Nintendo beats it at energy efficiency. Generally speaking you’re not playing the game games on either device.

        Oh good for you though, it wins 1 metric out of all the other advantages that a steam deck has, and is 3 years older
