I tried the demo. It seemed interesting, but it crashed pretty early, at exactly the same place every time I tried it. So I'm not sure about spending money for the game.

This looks awesome! Completely my kind of thing--turn-based, weird, revolves around books . . . what's not to like?

I'm thinking of Long Live the Queen.

Yes, one in each hand, rest your hands wherever: on your lap, on the back of the couch, to either side of your body, on top of your head. It's very comfortable and freeing and makes gyro mouse very simple.
At risk of exaggeration, the "tyranny of controller design" locks out hands together and our shoulders and arms in a certain position. Split joycons like these permit you to adopt any comfortable position you like. No shoulder or elbow strain!

Don't get me wrong, the general idea of a controller that's half in each hand seems like a perfectly good idea. But those specific things do not look like they are designed to be ergonomic when used that way.

I could get into this.

Nothing strange going on, huh? Can't put my finger on why, but somehow I don't trust these people's promise.

So you're going through hell, trying to arrange to end up in Poland in the 1980s. I'm not sure I see this as a big payoff. :tongue:

I'm a little unclear what you're supposed to do with the controller bits once you pull them off. Do you stick them together? That would be weirdly narrow. Do you just use them as separate bits, one in each hand? I feel like they'd shift weirdly in your hands while you were trying to use them. I don't get it.

Also, this thing costs how much?! And all you get for your expense is a thing running a crappy Windows interface?

I wonder how a normal non tech'y Steamdeck user would have handled this

They'd have turned off the machine.
