So on the discord the other day I learned the new term “ports” for what type of system you use. First time I ever heard that and it’s stuck with me a couple days, and it made me wonder what port our peeps here use the most. So what do you play on? If more than one what’s your preferred?
I prefer mobile myself. I don’t always need the flash graphics. I just like the ease of being able to play on the device I have at my disposal most of the time anyway. There’s a lot of games that aren’t available on mobile unfortunately and for that I’m a Nintendo guy. Kind of always have been and the Switch is great for me because I can either play handheld or on the TV.

Oooh, good topic!
I haven't played on a system in years, so by default probably PC. But more realistically, most of the games I have liked the most have been on handheld (game boy, gbc, gba, ds etc). And yes that's because it's usually pokemon, lol. In terms of controls I really liked the N64 though. People didn't really like that controller, but I liked the idea of just moving controls you don't need to a different prong and not worrying about them, lol. Like you Scorps, I'm a Nintendo guy.

So people are calling the actual systems "ports" now? What do they call it when a game is re-released for a new system? Do they say it was ported to a new port?
Honestly, kids these days.
Anyway, I play Xbox Series X because I couldn't turn down that sweet bundle with game pass. (And I've been on Xbox since the 360 but whatever)
I say *I* play Xbox but really it's my kids getting 99% of the benefit.

I just downloaded Assassins Creed and Old Republic II and they asked which port it was on.

A port is if an older game comes out on a new system it wasnt originally on. For instance, Super Mario RPG came out on the Super Nintendo. But if they were to make a version of the game that was playable on the Nintendo Switch, then that would be a port. pretty sure thats how that works lol
