Do you prefer playing on a portable device or on PC?

I use my steam deck to play otome games and visual novels ,it's more comfortable for my back to lay in bed than sitting on my chair. I use my pc and ps5 for other video games.

I definitely prefer playing on portable devices like the Switch, even though the screen can feel a bit small sometimes. My workaround is streaming my PC games to my tablet! That way, I still get the portability, and the screen size is just right.

I love to play on a PC, but unfortunately, I mostly play while commuting and outside the home. Even a regular switch is awkward to hold there, so I read on a switch lite

It's not a preference, it's simply the only possible option for me

I definitely prefer portable devices.
But unfortunately, I play a lot of games that need a translator, so in that case I use my PC.

But if I dont need one, I usually play on portable devices.

I used to heavily prefer portable devices for otome games back when the PS Vita was the main platform for otome games. Idk it just made more sense to me that VNs should be portable, like books. I used to take my Vita everywhere with me - on the bus, in class, in bed etc.

Nowadays I pretty much play everything on my PC. I have a Switch but I still just prefer emulating Switch games on my PC too. The Switch and Steamdeck aren't as compact as the PSP/PS Vita/DS, I don't really see myself taking either of those things out on a commute for example.

I prefer handheld gaming devices.
This is because I can play freely in any position I like, without being restricted by location or time.

Absolutely! A portable device, for sure! I even got a controller for my PC to make gaming more comfortable. Unfortunately, there aren't many otome games on PC that support controllers.

I have all platforms available so each have their own pros and cons, the more the merrier
