According to YouTuber Dave2D who managed to get their hands on the Lenovo Legion Go S, the SteamOS version destroys Windows in performance and battery life.
It’s absolutely your right, and fine to disagree with the usage of the word “massive” in this context. It’s not OK to insult people who disagree with you however.
It’s OK for people to have differing opinions, and your initial comment was a good discussion starter. The edit complaining about it causing said discussion, saying “it’s that simple,” the subsequent post stating that you believed your opinion on the matter was the absolute truth based on the dictionary definition of the word “massive,” and that any disagreement was insane in your opinion, is where I take umbrage. I hope you can see where I’m coming from.
I’m sorry that your comment has ultimately driven such a negative response, and I hope you are able to have a good day regardless.
I don’t believe I edited any of my comments today but maybe I guess? In that same vein, did I say anything like “it’s that simple”. I did go back and read my comments just to be sure etc etc. I of course believe I’m correct (5-10% average performance/battery gains) don’t count as massive.
We were talking about performance but now price is part of the package for some reason?
So many people responded to me and at least half of the responses had to with price and how that’s massive!!
Anyways nah it’s all good. It was annoying as heck earlier. But then I logged off lol. North worth the hassle
Cool beans, I hope you’re having a nice evening by this point.
It’s massive because of context. Massive is inherently a comparative term. Something can’t be large or significant unless something else is small. Here the context is performance gains (in comparison to other forms of PC gaming) constrained by 1) being on exactly the same hardware 2) a sizeable price difference between the two options.
Here the performance gains are 10+% for a device which costs more than 10% less. The size of the performance gains in the handheld market would otherwise need you to buy a new handheld, and those fps increases would demand spending at least a few hundred bucks on a new GPU.
So massive performance gains with the implied context is absolutely true.
I was referring to this specific edit to your initial comment:
Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy
I’m not even here arguing which one is better like come on now
Massively is the wrong word to use it’s that simple
While I personally think that an average of over %10 FPS improvement in itself qualifies as massive in the current landscape, reasonable minds can absolutely disagree of course. The inclusion of price is just another layer of advantage, only bolstering the “massive” overall improvement.
I have been having a nice evening so far, thank you, and I hope you’ve been having the same.
