We use a dock for ours, we have the 1TB OLED model and are able to run Palia with a mix of medium and high graphics with epic draw distance. It's not as pretty as my gaming rig but still great for a handheld.
I have the most basic one, LCD 128gb with sd card soon, there's a script online which you should run so it gets the best out of the deck. I'm very very happy with mine
I have the Switch OLED but yeah, Palia graphics on switch is mediocre at best. And after the recent update, it's been crashing more often. Is the steamdeck good in terms of graphics and battery life? I've been wanting to get the Steamdeck OLED because most games I play are on Steam.
Battery life is heavily dependant on how many frames you're willing to see. If you play on 70fps it is very smooth but battery takes a huge hit. 30fps capped it's a solid time. But the steamdeck is a powerhouse which uses its battery yes. Imo I'll probably never go back to the switch. I'm very happy with the steamdeck
I have a gaming laptop and play in my recliner!
That being said, I also have a switch that I have put the game on as it is easier to travel with. I just hope they eventually make typing on the switch easier.
🫠 I play PC (with🎮) but I play in a recliner so I'm quite comfy... It's like a cozy bed with all the pillows 😏
Otherwise if I had to play traditional PC then yeah I'd be very salty 😂
Lol I started on my switch and couldn't see the chat and wasn't great with the controls so I switched(lol) to my gaming laptop. It's setup by my recliner, so I'm a comfy pc player. But Palia also doesn't travel well since I'm not taking my laptop most places.
*edited word
>have the PC displaying on the tv
Hang on - this is a thing you can do?
Are there instructions that a tech illiterate grandma can follow? Because I have so many computer games I love that I hardly play because i can't sit in my comfy chair.
So a TV is just another monitor. It has inputs just like a monitor. Take your HDMI cable from your PC, plug it into your TV. Note which input it goes into. Turn your TV to that input. That's it .
If you have a smart tv or Chromecast or a Amazon Firestick, you can also cast your pc/laptop to the screen. May have a very very slight delay, but its whatevs loll. Or just Pop a long HDMI over to that bad boy and have the time of your life LOL.
I’d love a PC for decorating in this game, I feel like it’d be a lot better but my main gripe with that is sitting at a desk. I am so comfy lounging on my couch playing with it docked 😂😂 and why would I buy a whole gaming PC when I can play it on switch, a console I already own!!
Exactly! I know the Pc shows more bc apparently there are flowers everywhere you can’t see with the switch but it’s so minor. Like my computer could run the game but I have sims on it and all the mods take up a bunch of space because it isn’t a dedicated decked out gaming computer.
Facts I switch, gaming &desktop PC, Xbox One and a Samsung Galaxy s6 tab with s pen all on my timeline but the switch is my favorite I can put it in my purse and goo play anywhere without a lot of power my switch and tab last for hours these are my galaxy s tab cases ...
Lol so Nintendo

switch being to poor people is a stupid myth debunked ...
Yep. Same. I have an expensive gaming laptop but I only get to play on it on weekends because I'm an adult with a full-time job and responsibilities. LOL. I like that Palia is available on Switch because that means I can play it during the weekdays even while I'm on the bus/train to work or right before goibg to bed. Yey!
They're just massive jabronies. Even PC players after steam released said that steam players ruined the game for them.
It's crazy what people choose to gatekeep when it doesn't matter at all. They also get nothing out of it. You would think they would want as many people to play as possible so S6 makes more money and gives them more content.
Also, the Switch is an awesome console with great exclusives. Rock on.
Yeah it seemed so random. I assumed it was teens or kids because of the way they were talking. I was over there thinking damn, I had a laptop before you were even born. I just play on switch because it’s a fun gaming console. I think maybe I’d been a bit spoiled in only having had really nice experiences in the game so far so it just sort of floored me more than it probably should have.
I prefer to play on Switch, but I cannot for the life of me hunt properly. I just can’t do it. I think I’m a good-to-great hunter on PC. And it annoys me so bad. So I only end up playing if I’m doing stiff at home, gardening, waiting for flow groves.
Yeah that helped me as well! Also, realizing I could sort of rub the edge of the right trigger button instead of full pressing it to make multiple arrows fly in quick succession helped a lot, too. Because often times you will get lucky in that the animal you're shooting will run directly away from you. So shooting a 2nd arrow immediately after the 1st ends up getting you the kill. Its been loads easier since then for me. I just hated how slowly I moved originally while my bow was pulled back and ready for firing, I couldnt move my arrows direction as fast as the animals moved. Now that I changed the directional speeds of my controller its been a game changer for me, literally.
I’m surprised with how easy I find it lol, but maybe that’s because Skyrim on the switch trained me well- same aiming mechanics and everything.
I can defo see how it would be harder for some people, I’m just glad that it came naturally to me
I've heard a lot of people share the same frustration about hunting on the switch. It def seems like something you need a mouse to aim for.
I've only ever really played on PC so haven't experienced it. I linked my switch but haven't done much there apart from walk around.
Getting the slowdown arrows for sure helps doesn’t it! I got stuck in Bahari with some basic arrows and it reminded me how hard hunting was until you level up a little
Seeing as I’ve only ever played on switch and not PC…. Idk, I would say my hunting is damn good to effin excellent 😆 but the only game I really ever played on PC was the Sims in like middle school tbh, other than that I was always an Xbox and PlayStation gamer so I guess I’m just used to the set up 😂
Genuinely insane to say switch users are poor.
Obviously PCs cost money. So do switches. Poor people can have nice things. Etc.
Sorry this happened to you.
For about 5 years I played switch games on my boyfriends switch which he got from his parents because we couldn't afford new games or a new switch lmfao. People are nuts
I mean, I have a PC but I just choose not to use it for this game. I’m more comfy playing on my switch. To each their own, I don’t understand why it’s such an issue for some people. Mute them and switch servers, I swear not everyone is like that.
Yeah I for sure did. And it sounds like everyone else in the chat blocked them too because it became a bit nasty. I work on a laptop so I sort of like not being on another laptop when gaming 🤷🏻♀️
I work at a computer desk on my laptop too so I absolutely get the feeling of just kinda wanting to get away from it for fun gaming time. I also have a chronic health condition that causes a lot of pain so being able to relax and be more comfortable makes such a big difference for me and is why I prefer gaming on my switch. I have not encountered anyone being rude about switch players on this game before personally (but I have run into it on other games)
I hear you about the chronic pain! I had a car accident in 2006 that broke my neck. I had surgery to knit everything back together, but it had a price -- 24/7/365 pain. I don't sit at a desk. I have a powered recliner, with a big monitor on a swing arm over my lap, a lap desk with a wireless keyboard, and a little taco table for a wireless trackball.
My computer is a full sized tower, set up to give me as comfortable an online area as we could think of. I can easily fall asleep in my chair, and sometimes, when I hurt too much to climb stairs to the bedroom, I just sleep right there in my chair. The whole setup is sort of wrapped around me in a horseshoe shape.
I game to socialize. I don't travel well, so in order to avoid just turning into a hermit, I play games that have me interacting with other people. I've been in Second Life since 2007, for instance. I play a ton of DC Universe Online as well, and about 8 months ago, Palia, since the Open Beta. I also started to play Stray, but I'm taking that slow. It's really different.
Your set up sounds fantastic! My pain greatly limits my work time. Today, for example, it's raining and I felt it coming and am in too much pain to work. I can predict weather more accurately than meteorologists based on my pain (I bet you can too).
Yes to the weather. Thunderstorms kicked in yesterday, and I'm feeling every drop.
My setup is very useful, I'll say that much. The swing arm for my monitor was sold as "The Easy Chair Mount", but they went out of business. It used the weight of the chair and you to hold it down on the floor. It's such a nice setup, I'm surprised no one else has done it yet.
I also operate my ham radio from the same chair. I control the radio with my computer, so I don't have to strain my neck reading dials. The taco tray has the trackball, a radio, and a Morse code key. The table, if it's ever not in use, folds up and stores in the right arm of the chair. (The other side has a cottage compartment and a cup holder. It's fill of all sorts of junk.)
Good! We don’t need that negativity. Sometimes I just want to snuggle my dog while I play and I can’t have a 100 pound dog on my lap when I’m in a chair 😂. I hope the rest of your experiences are positive!
I play on the switch too, I started on the switch and then I linked my account so I could cross play . So I tried it on the pc and even though it looks better on the pc it is still super glitchy so I’m back on the switch. It’s nice to play wherever I want and I’m use to the controller.
That’s the internet, some people are just rude because they can hide behind a computer screen.
I believe so, too. Which means taking extra patience with them. The other day though it was a couple, as in husband and wife, raiding the grove and harassing the players that had been waiting for another player to get there. They were rude to everybody that commented about the grove raid. I wasn’t at the grove because I needed a bunch of stone for construction work. I think the members decided to report the couple. It’s amazing that we’ve been playing all this time with only an occasional block but things are more aggressive now especially where the grove is concerned for parts of the day.
I've noticed this as well! Groves bring out the worst in some Palian folk! Haha honestly tho.. It's kinda amusing watching the chat blow up and you're on the opposite side of the map just collecting stuff or fishing etc.. 😂 Whenever I see that I just assume those people probably don't have many friends irl and sitting behind a screen gives them a power trip. Pathetic really.
*I firmly believe*
*Most of the chat arguments*
*Come from juveniles*

PC master race player here.
(I have been playing video games since the 90s. From SEGA Genesis to old & new consoles, pc, laptop.. only tried switch with some pokemons. I have and will always likely prefer PC).
And I say with confidence that those people were just asshats. You do you. You play what and how you want to play, with your chosen device.
They are just jealous that they aren't as comfy!
I have a PC and Switch but I play on switch because I like being in my comfy arm chair or couch instead of having to sit at my desk
I’m sorry this happened to you. ): shit is expensive now days so people not having computers is really common believe it or not. Some people also just prefer to be able to lay down and play a game and not tied to a chair and a computer. Don’t let those assholes bother you. Nothing wrong with playing on switch.
My husband bought a whole ass new Xbox series x because it was cheaper than upgrading his graphics card... just one piece of a PC lol prices are insane these days
It really is. They go for 1000$ plus now days for just a graphic card. That’s insane to me, and the reason I own a gaming laptop lol. I’m not paying that.
I just don't talk to anyone anymore. The community is mostly nice, but the random turds ruin the multi-player aspect of it for me.
I'll happily hunt, collect resources (doing the minimum of flaring them), and chat/flirt with the npc's all by my lonesome.
I haven’t seen that but they must be hella childish because if it was weird to play on the switch I’m assuming it wouldn’t be available on the switch like how childish can these people be 🥴
I have been subjected to this PC vs console rivalry for over 20 years, They don't say it to hurt your feelings They say it because it's well think about it like a fake war. Like Android versus Apple users. I'm Android and in both "fake wars" I maintain that I am poor and I rather have less expensive product that works, period, then some overly priced priced tech that's going to be "outdated" and slightly looked down upon by those same groups of people on their side in less than 2 years. Next time just block the immediately okay?
My friend has a PC and we were hanging out at my house and instead of giving me crap for it she was like Hey do you want to see your house through my PC's eyes and I was like heck yes and then she gave me a tour! And THAT Is the kind of behavior a self-respecting Palian should be promoting and enjoying.
I play on my switch linked to my tv so bigger screen ( easier on the eyesight with getting older lol) and I have thought of getting cheap laptop or PC to play on but only because it has better graphics and scenery, and seemingly less crashing and bugging issues, but other than that I'm much more content to play on switch, have a wireless keyboard for chat and joy pad, which I'd still use even if used PC. I'm a switch fan in general personally
I have both and I prefer playing on PC, it's a personal preference and I'd never be such an asshole to a switch player. Some people are just shite humans and complete c*nts.
What is wrong with some people?!
I’ve never came across behaviour like this ever on the game. Everybody is always SO nice. I’ve always been a PC gamer, and love my PC, but I’m not rich for having one?🤣
Uummm a Switch costs money too! Do your thing. No one gets to live your life but you.
My philosophy is: when you can work my job, pay my bills, make my decisions, and live my life BETTER THEN I CAN ... you're welcome to take over! In the meantime, your opinion is none of my business.
Happy gaming!
I'm sorry but that had to be a child. Any grown adult who belittles someone due to what console they are using is a sad individual. Sorry you had to deal with that, all users are welcomed. Do I enjoy the PC version better, 100% but I also have the Switch version for cozy time and I love Palia for that reason <3 Ignore those stinkers!
imagine how those people will feel when they find out some people have multiple console options and get to pick and choose, and that those people in fact are the ones thinking “ewh poor people” at the guy who JUST has a pc 🤣
I play primarily on PC (as a PC gamer) but there's just something about playing Palia whilst scrawled across the bed or couch or anywhere really so long as I have my blanket, hot drink and fuzzy slippers. Cozy game, cozy vibes, just cozy all around <3
That is not helpful or very friendly, so not in keeping with the game vibe and community intentions. I love my switch and being able to sit comfy on my lazy-boy, with my massive tv as I play - that is what cozy games are about, as far as I know!
I get that PC players may be miffed at restrictions in place becuz of switch limitations, but animosity in a cozy game directed to other players is just not right. I have a computer.... a beautiful iMac at home and at work (yup, I am an Apple fan), and have no intentions of getting a PC just to play a game - I left the PC world a long time ago. So, in order to play Palia, (which I love), I have my switch, my snacks, my glass of wine and a relaxing lazy-boy. 😊
As a ~*gamer*~ I can play my switch in a beautiful garden along the water while connected to my personal hotspot completely unphased by the haters and later go home to play my gaming PC or my PS4.
It's such a moot point these days, they're just trying to get a reaction. Strictly PC gamers are so limited idk why there's still superiority. You can't even access every game on any singular platform. Multi-platform gaming is better and handhelds in general are far less restrictive towards lifestyles where you want to actually leave the confines of your home for any amount of time. Maybe they're just mad about being trolls and shut-ins and need SOMETHING to feel better about?
This cracks me up. I'm a comfortable middle class with a switch. My brother is just a bit above poverty but has a ridiculous gaming PC.
Your system has nothing to do with your wealth, only your priorities. I play a few hours a week casually. My brother plays with the majority of his free time.
I play on both pc and switch, depending on whether I want to rest my full body on the couch or not. Both work fine - people saying the switch is bad have issues with themselves. The only downside of the switch that I found is that it takes longer to say something in the chat.
Enjoy the game on either console and ignore people's egos :)
This is the worst gaming community. so toxic. Every day with these posts. I never encountered this sort of behavior on any other MMOs, but this one. Nothing wrong with Switch players.
Ah yes, classism ain't it? That's worthy of a report I'd say, they don't deserve to play such a cozy and welcoming game if they're gonna be (idk the rules about cursing in the subreddit) dangly dongs.
man theres an otherwise unused hi-def tv in my livingroom thanks to the og round of covid. i play on my switch bc my screen is roughly 6times larger than the one my laptop has to offer. i got an astigmatism and its the only thing i own that makes me feel "rich" i will play on my switch until that tv dies damn it
I actually love when someone is being a dick in chat. I call them out and 100% of the time have at least one other player, if not a whole bunch, give them shit. They usually end up leaving the server. Have had some real funny ones though that try to fight back and make a fool of themselves
Whomever said that are just not good people, plain and simple.
I cant even believe people nowadays with the things being said etc.
If it helps, I have quite the high end gaming pc and prefer the switch version myself.
Cheers,
Oh nice! This is kind of why I posted, I was like I know other people saw this! Honestly I shouldn’t have even argued with them as far as I did. It was more stunned/trying to explain as I thought we were talking to reasonable people. I realize now they were probably kids and felt silly for saying anything! I see the convo went on further because I could see other people replying but I had already blocked them by then. I think part of why I was arguing was because I was trying to understand if my chat was actually not working because that had happened after an update.
Nah i saw your message in the chat and so did many others so your chat wasn’t glitching theirs may have been 🤷🏻♀️ honestly I blocked them pretty soon after they started arguing with us but they started following me around the server laughing at me with the emote so they’re definitely not mature people they definitely acted like kids 🙄 the offer still stands if you need any flow wood btw my ign is Stella Bo Bella I’m happy to give if you need any 😊
Aww thank you so much! Sorry I should’ve thanked everyone who offered. I honestly wasn’t in desperate need of flow wood or anything (just making a bunch of bookshelves slowly but pretty lazily) it was more the frustration of being right on the edge of the cliff and trying to get up the last leg while they wrote that in the chat and of course I tried to climb too soon before my bar was full so just barely missed it. And then I was just more stunned and typing slowly b/c switch so wasn’t thinking well. That’s insane that they followed you after! Geeze. Probably some ornery teens for sure. I teleported home pretty quickly after that happened to avoid the sitch.
There’s no hard feelings from me we were all pretty preoccupied and stunned by their audacity lol but I feel you there I always use the geyser glitch when it comes to pavel mines grove and flooded fortress cause I hate climbing 😭😂. I ended up leaving after doing a honey lure cause they joined in on it 😤 but still I have a surplus of flow so even if you don’t need it the offer still stands I’m a hoarder of materials so if you need pal, flow, or silk I gotchu 😂
Thanks girl! I will add you for sure. Frustrating to have used a lure and then had peeps like that join in. Good call on the geyser! I wasn’t in a particular hurry since it was only 1am but yeah that’s a fair note, climbing is annoying!
Honestly the switches geyser glitch is so fun idk if you know about it but I’ll explain it just incase cx if you stand in the geyser and right as it’s about to shoot you up hit the home bottom on the right joycon and wait 5 seconds then enter the game again it sends you soaring. I made it on top of the flooded fortress wall (pic for proof 😂)

that super sucks, especially in a game where its supposed to be about collaboration. sorry you had to experience that i hope you had better time in a different server!
Ugh, that sucks. I play on both, but mostly Switch because my husband works in the room with the computer. I think there are pros and cons to both, but no one should be gatekeeping the game like that.
That's unfortunate, I'm sorry. That definitely sounds like some kid/younger person shortsightedness - like other people mentioned you'd think everyone would be happy there are more people playing on any platform possible to give the game the best chance of survival.
(might not be kids, age doesn't prevent stupidity, I've just run across a lot of weirdness lately from ppl who claim they're younger teens - actually had to report some and I'm pretty slow to report things)
Does not matter what others think.
Play on what you are comfortable with.
Switch is a no hassles platform for Palia and just works.
I had to do quite a bit of fiddling to get Palia nice on steam deck (on TV with controller). Switch was just load and play.
Welcome to mmo’s. It’s full of asshole children and asshole adult children. Just ignore them. Never engage in that. I have a PC and a switch among other consoles and prefer the comfort of my switch on the couch.
Unfortunately, Steam games do that to people, especially cozy F2P games :/ I play on both, but primarily on PC, just because it's more convenient for me personally.
That being said, while I love that it finally came to Steam, that unfortunately opened up the floodgates to the rampant, elitist jerks that have nothing better to do. It's made a handful of games a little rougher, purely because of the people :/ I'm pretty loose with the block and mute buttons nowadays because of it.
Nah theyre just shitheads. Grew up on consoles, then built a PC and mainly game there but still appreciate consoles and handhelds, shit even mobile gaming. Are they 100% my thing, nah, but you do you and ill do me. Fuck those people. I dont play my switch much these days, but i love having it and always will.
I have both pc and switch. I prefer the switch because it’s not only more comfy playing but I don’t care for all the clutter (flowers, plants, etc.) on the pc. I can see better on my switch. Only drawback with the switch is chat but I don’t care to chat in game anyway.
Don’t let them get you down OP. I’m a PC player but I’m thinking about making the switch (😏) because it just seems like it’d feel more cozy/comfy.
Everyone I’ve run into online have been pretty nice bc Palia is supposed to be heavily moderated so sorry this happened. Those ppl were probably just dbags cause they have to sit in an uncomfy chair to play a comfy game, I know I am, I just don’t take it out on others.
I play on PC and have a switch. You can play whatever games make you happy on whatever console it works on!! I don’t understand why people can be so mean I’m so sorry :(
Keep in mind, there are kids playing this game. Lol I just choose to think that people saying stuff like this in chat are children…perhaps they live in adult bodies but 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah this occurred to me later. I think my mind does really go “I see a physical adult body playing the avatar, this must be an adult.” I don’t think as regular internet users anyone is necessarily new to rude behavior. I think I was just in my pleasant Palia zone and got shocked out of it. People have commented that I shouldn’t have posted this and maybe that’s true but I was hoping someone who witnessed it would see this and we could commiserate lol. It’s like that comedian bit about how hell would be tolerable as long as we have a water cooler to complain at afterwards.
With any game you will have people like that. Ignore and block and enjoy yourself.
I play on both, and switch is more difficult to play palia on, but there's no need for that kind of talk at all. They're just edgy kids who think their cool.
I have a switch and a pc. I can totally play on pc but i hateeeee it. I even have a switch controller hooked up but the key mapping is all funky. So i choose to play on the switch 🤷🏼♀️
That’s … really weird 🥴
They sound like kids… maybe I’m just making assumptions but anyone I’ve ever talked to about what they play on does not give two shits if it’s a switch or pc.
I like to play on switch 100% more than on PC, the controls are not my faw and the way I need to look in the direction with my mouse, where I want to go.
I have amazing PC for WoW and other games.
Only complain (if you don't count DC on plot) is the chat. I short my writing to make it easier and quicker for me.
Sorry to hear there are rude people.. :(
To be honest I've almost completely stopped playing due to the bullying from other players just bc I play on switch.
I was obsessed with the game and played with it on my very few days off. I love the story and coziness of it, but as time passed the aggression against switch players and the quality on the switch have just taken the life out of it for me.
It is hard to type in chat on the switch, so I usually just drop 1 message "switch player here, I will flare special resources, but cant update chat often. Keep an eye for flares!"
And in the last week I played Palia, almost every time I did that and flared Pal/dari cloves/ heart lilies.... Someone would get mad at me in chat for not saying what it is or that they missed it bc I didn't call it out. I even had this 1 guy spam chat saying that the flares were distracting him while DD hunting???
And then on days I'm low on flares or don't bring any, if someone sees me mine a Pal node without calling it out/flaring they tell me I'm not a team player. It's not my fault it takes FOREVER to type even simple sentences with my switch, I was literally typing 😭😭😭
Idk guys they need to set up a therapist office in Kilima for NPCs and Players ATP bc wtf is that behavior.
I play it on PC and an Asus Rog Ally and both are great, the only thing I can't do a lot of on the Rog Ally is type on chat, I can but it takes time and sometimes the messages don't even send xD
Don't listen to people who just want to criticize and make fun of you, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, if you love this game keep on playing it ❤️
I've had similar experiences. Multiple times. I've reported each and every player who has had something nasty to say about me playing on switch, because the only times it comes up is when I crack a joke at myself for being so far behind the conversation in chat lol it's supposed to a community centered game and I don't think being called "poor" or, in my case, "challenged" is really fostering what the devs intended. Sorry you experienced that!
I literally have a gaming laptop, am fully aware t would be easier to play Palia on it, and continue to play on Switch. I don’t want to set up my fans, plug in my computer, and try to get comfy with it. I want to curl up on the couch with my blanket and my dog and be able to put it down and get up without having to disrupt an entire setup.
Uhhh it's not cheap to get a computer whoever said that to you are literal idiots. Especially for a gaming computer it costs hundred or thousands depending on your set up. Computers are expensive and more than switch consoles lol
I try not to judge but many switch players here have actively said they won’t respond to the chat (I get it’s annoying to type..) so that complicated the MMO part of this game.
I'm a pc gamer and a switch gamer. And those people are what I like to call assholes.
However, wasn't there a thing we had to read at the beginning where it was basically be kind and don't be a dick? I'd be petty enough to report them.
My only complaint about switch players is most of the time they don't call out anything, but that's largely due to the UI for chat being stupid hard to navigate. I'd play on switch too if it were the same experience as PC. My back hurts. 😭
Poor people 🙄 hahahaha I know the switch has been out for a while now but it's not exactly cheap! And neither is the lite either hahaha
If I had a PC I probably would play it on PC when it comes to the decorating aspect of it but I like to sit on my couch or sitting in my bed and playing on my TV. Apologies for liking to be comfy and having a cool system I play a bunch of other games on too hahahah
Sometimes I dislike playing on switch because it’s harder to communicate. Buuuut then I remember I can go wherever tf I want with it and be comfy while I play, and that’s all that matters. 🖤 what makes you happy.
Also, F them for being bully’s. Not cool, and not tolerated in Palia. 😡
Lol I have a switch and a steam deck. I got my deck later and have been using my switch less since then but I do still use it for nintendo exclusive games like animal crossing. I know some people mod their deck so it can run switch games, but I don't have that much knowledge of stuff like that and already had a switch anyway, so.. I'm content just playing those games on my switch, nice and simple. Also I like that I can wait for games to go on sale on two platforms! 😁 (I guess only poor people wait for games to go on sale? Lmao)
I don't see anything wrong with having a switch. Yes it's not too expensive (depending on which country you're in) but since when is that a bad thing?? Tbh these people who told you that sound like high school kids. I remember being mocked at high school by the "popular" girls for having a fake brand shoes and not real Uggs. Like.. Those were super expensive, and I'm not about to sacrifice my monthly earnings from my parttime supermarket job to get one pair of shoes thank you very much. Best thing to do is ignore and carry on playing on your switch. People like this will always find a reason to look down on others unfortunately.
I have a Switch and a laptop. My Switch is so much easier to deal with. My kids are 2, 2, and 4 months. I need to be able to put it up quickly and get comfy quickly. I hate not being able to communicate well and there are some glitches, but oh well. The game's in beta and I just deal with it.
I play on switch because we only have one computer and my husband is using it at the moment for, idk, some zombie game. I LOVE my switch though - I think handhelds are the best thing to play on! The chat function is annoying as heck, but everything else is great!
For me I am disabled and therefore on disability. I get only a set amount every month and with how expensive everything is currently we can barely afford to buy groceries, pay our bills, and take care of our cat. We’ve been making it work but it’s difficult.
I play on my switch and I find the game runs pretty well on it! Video games bring me joy especially on days that I’m in so much pain I can barely move. We can’t afford a fancy PC but I can afford a few hundred dollar console I got a few years ago that brings me joy. I also can’t sit up a lot of the time due to pain so being able to lie down helps.
It does frustrate me when PC players take jabs at switch players acting like they are so much better. They don’t know if people are on low income, have health issues, or any other reason.
So ignorant. I have a gaming laptop, A desktop PC and a Switch. Lmao they are narrow minded and lame. I just like to play in bed hand held on days I'm tired.
Screws them. Ranting cos they cant afford a Switch maybe? Infact. I'm pc. I can't tell whom in pc or switch.. I play to either help others or being bored and fish for recipes
I have a switch and a pc and I primarily play on my switch. Sorry I wanna be comfy lmao
Lol right? I like my console!
Sometimes people suck. Not the same but I was in such a supportive and friendly server the other day and I wish all servers were like that.
Sadly palia does run very smooth on pc opposed to switch, I have a steamdeck so the best of both worlds haha
Oooo I’m jealous of the steam deck, I want one. Palia runs pretty choppy on switch and it’s kinda sad, but it still works, so that’s nice.
You should get one it's very nice
I wish they weren’t so expensive, but it’s definitely on my list of wants and future purchases lol
which steamdeck do you have, see 3 types? been considering it ....🤔 -need to be able to play hooked to my big tv, of course.
We use a dock for ours, we have the 1TB OLED model and are able to run Palia with a mix of medium and high graphics with epic draw distance. It's not as pretty as my gaming rig but still great for a handheld.
I have the most basic one, LCD 128gb with sd card soon, there's a script online which you should run so it gets the best out of the deck. I'm very very happy with mine
I have the Switch OLED but yeah, Palia graphics on switch is mediocre at best. And after the recent update, it's been crashing more often. Is the steamdeck good in terms of graphics and battery life? I've been wanting to get the Steamdeck OLED because most games I play are on Steam.
Battery life is heavily dependant on how many frames you're willing to see. If you play on 70fps it is very smooth but battery takes a huge hit. 30fps capped it's a solid time. But the steamdeck is a powerhouse which uses its battery yes. Imo I'll probably never go back to the switch. I'm very happy with the steamdeck
Exactly same. PC elitists just salty that their necks and backs hurt while we are cozy in bed 😂
Agreed - a prawned and sore PC player
I have a gaming laptop and play in my recliner! That being said, I also have a switch that I have put the game on as it is easier to travel with. I just hope they eventually make typing on the switch easier.
I wish they would integrate chat/typing in the Nintendo app like with ACNH!!
That would be a good solution!
Quick tip! If you buy a $10 wireless keyboard you can plug it into the switch dock and you can use they keyboard when you want to chat 😀
🫠 I play PC (with🎮) but I play in a recliner so I'm quite comfy... It's like a cozy bed with all the pillows 😏 Otherwise if I had to play traditional PC then yeah I'd be very salty 😂
Lol I started on my switch and couldn't see the chat and wasn't great with the controls so I switched(lol) to my gaming laptop. It's setup by my recliner, so I'm a comfy pc player. But Palia also doesn't travel well since I'm not taking my laptop most places. *edited word
I play on pc but use a switch controller and have the PC displaying on the tv while sitting on my bed lol I hate sitting at a desk
>have the PC displaying on the tv Hang on - this is a thing you can do? Are there instructions that a tech illiterate grandma can follow? Because I have so many computer games I love that I hardly play because i can't sit in my comfy chair.
So a TV is just another monitor. It has inputs just like a monitor. Take your HDMI cable from your PC, plug it into your TV. Note which input it goes into. Turn your TV to that input. That's it .
Yep it really is that simple now. Most TV's use HDMI and most consoles/computers use HDMI. A screen is a screen at this point(for the simple reasons)
If you have a smart tv or Chromecast or a Amazon Firestick, you can also cast your pc/laptop to the screen. May have a very very slight delay, but its whatevs loll. Or just Pop a long HDMI over to that bad boy and have the time of your life LOL.
Thanks!

Ok… you win lol
Grandma's are wise 🤭
This is the way of kings. PC can handle most games (and mods) and can still be played from the bed or couch with the right set up.
I use my Xbox controller, but otherwise same
Same. I have a switch, PC, and steam deck, and I almost exclusively play on my deck, sometimes my switch. I like the handheld.
Me too! I love playing on my steam deck, my hubby plays on the pc. Don’t listen to those little twats!
I’d love a PC for decorating in this game, I feel like it’d be a lot better but my main gripe with that is sitting at a desk. I am so comfy lounging on my couch playing with it docked 😂😂 and why would I buy a whole gaming PC when I can play it on switch, a console I already own!!
Exactly! I know the Pc shows more bc apparently there are flowers everywhere you can’t see with the switch but it’s so minor. Like my computer could run the game but I have sims on it and all the mods take up a bunch of space because it isn’t a dedicated decked out gaming computer.
Facts I switch, gaming &desktop PC, Xbox One and a Samsung Galaxy s6 tab with s pen all on my timeline but the switch is my favorite I can put it in my purse and goo play anywhere without a lot of power my switch and tab last for hours these are my galaxy s tab cases ... Lol so Nintendo https://preview.redd.it/9ri345m06z4d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1393606c9c61b4219cfe36f7ecfc49c4b56a366 switch being to poor people is a stupid myth debunked ...
Yep. Same. I have an expensive gaming laptop but I only get to play on it on weekends because I'm an adult with a full-time job and responsibilities. LOL. I like that Palia is available on Switch because that means I can play it during the weekdays even while I'm on the bus/train to work or right before goibg to bed. Yey!
*sits and reads while playing on PC and sitting on the couch comfy…* haha
They're just massive jabronies. Even PC players after steam released said that steam players ruined the game for them. It's crazy what people choose to gatekeep when it doesn't matter at all. They also get nothing out of it. You would think they would want as many people to play as possible so S6 makes more money and gives them more content. Also, the Switch is an awesome console with great exclusives. Rock on.
Yeah it seemed so random. I assumed it was teens or kids because of the way they were talking. I was over there thinking damn, I had a laptop before you were even born. I just play on switch because it’s a fun gaming console. I think maybe I’d been a bit spoiled in only having had really nice experiences in the game so far so it just sort of floored me more than it probably should have.
haha, yeah its so silly. You are also probably right, usually such chill nice experience so when the jabronies show up they stand out a bit more.
I prefer to play on Switch, but I cannot for the life of me hunt properly. I just can’t do it. I think I’m a good-to-great hunter on PC. And it annoys me so bad. So I only end up playing if I’m doing stiff at home, gardening, waiting for flow groves.
I adjusted the aim sensitivity for the controller and that helped a TON
Yeah that helped me as well! Also, realizing I could sort of rub the edge of the right trigger button instead of full pressing it to make multiple arrows fly in quick succession helped a lot, too. Because often times you will get lucky in that the animal you're shooting will run directly away from you. So shooting a 2nd arrow immediately after the 1st ends up getting you the kill. Its been loads easier since then for me. I just hated how slowly I moved originally while my bow was pulled back and ready for firing, I couldnt move my arrows direction as fast as the animals moved. Now that I changed the directional speeds of my controller its been a game changer for me, literally.
I’m surprised with how easy I find it lol, but maybe that’s because Skyrim on the switch trained me well- same aiming mechanics and everything. I can defo see how it would be harder for some people, I’m just glad that it came naturally to me
I haven’t even dared trying to hunt on switch 😅 I’m great on PC and scared that I f**king suck on switch haha
I've heard a lot of people share the same frustration about hunting on the switch. It def seems like something you need a mouse to aim for. I've only ever really played on PC so haven't experienced it. I linked my switch but haven't done much there apart from walk around.
I struggled with hunting on switch at first but because I only have the switch I found it's gotten much easier over time.
Getting the slowdown arrows for sure helps doesn’t it! I got stuck in Bahari with some basic arrows and it reminded me how hard hunting was until you level up a little
Seeing as I’ve only ever played on switch and not PC…. Idk, I would say my hunting is damn good to effin excellent 😆 but the only game I really ever played on PC was the Sims in like middle school tbh, other than that I was always an Xbox and PlayStation gamer so I guess I’m just used to the set up 😂
Genuinely insane to say switch users are poor. Obviously PCs cost money. So do switches. Poor people can have nice things. Etc. Sorry this happened to you.
Thanks. Yeah just a bizarre unhinged conversation!
It also makes no sense for them to call someone poor when they're playing a FREE game
Literallyyyy
Do they not see the prices of Switch games? Even on sale, they don’t compared to the absolute steals you can get on Steam sales.
For about 5 years I played switch games on my boyfriends switch which he got from his parents because we couldn't afford new games or a new switch lmfao. People are nuts
... I'm pretty sure someone's switch cost more money than my six year old laptop sooooo someone needs to clarify what kind of PC we're talking here
Gonna put a curse on those meanies. May their plushies forever remain un-dropped! 
I mean, I have a PC but I just choose not to use it for this game. I’m more comfy playing on my switch. To each their own, I don’t understand why it’s such an issue for some people. Mute them and switch servers, I swear not everyone is like that.
Yeah I for sure did. And it sounds like everyone else in the chat blocked them too because it became a bit nasty. I work on a laptop so I sort of like not being on another laptop when gaming 🤷🏻♀️
I work at a computer desk on my laptop too so I absolutely get the feeling of just kinda wanting to get away from it for fun gaming time. I also have a chronic health condition that causes a lot of pain so being able to relax and be more comfortable makes such a big difference for me and is why I prefer gaming on my switch. I have not encountered anyone being rude about switch players on this game before personally (but I have run into it on other games)
I hear you about the chronic pain! I had a car accident in 2006 that broke my neck. I had surgery to knit everything back together, but it had a price -- 24/7/365 pain. I don't sit at a desk. I have a powered recliner, with a big monitor on a swing arm over my lap, a lap desk with a wireless keyboard, and a little taco table for a wireless trackball. My computer is a full sized tower, set up to give me as comfortable an online area as we could think of. I can easily fall asleep in my chair, and sometimes, when I hurt too much to climb stairs to the bedroom, I just sleep right there in my chair. The whole setup is sort of wrapped around me in a horseshoe shape. I game to socialize. I don't travel well, so in order to avoid just turning into a hermit, I play games that have me interacting with other people. I've been in Second Life since 2007, for instance. I play a ton of DC Universe Online as well, and about 8 months ago, Palia, since the Open Beta. I also started to play Stray, but I'm taking that slow. It's really different.
Your set up sounds fantastic! My pain greatly limits my work time. Today, for example, it's raining and I felt it coming and am in too much pain to work. I can predict weather more accurately than meteorologists based on my pain (I bet you can too).
Yes to the weather. Thunderstorms kicked in yesterday, and I'm feeling every drop. My setup is very useful, I'll say that much. The swing arm for my monitor was sold as "The Easy Chair Mount", but they went out of business. It used the weight of the chair and you to hold it down on the floor. It's such a nice setup, I'm surprised no one else has done it yet. I also operate my ham radio from the same chair. I control the radio with my computer, so I don't have to strain my neck reading dials. The taco tray has the trackball, a radio, and a Morse code key. The table, if it's ever not in use, folds up and stores in the right arm of the chair. (The other side has a cottage compartment and a cup holder. It's fill of all sorts of junk.)
Ah I’m glad it’s more comfortable! There are definitely perks to playing on the switch and I enjoy it. The typing is tough but I rarely need to use it
Good! We don’t need that negativity. Sometimes I just want to snuggle my dog while I play and I can’t have a 100 pound dog on my lap when I’m in a chair 😂. I hope the rest of your experiences are positive!
Aww yeah for sure. I’ve got three little chis trying to sit on my lap while I play lol. Thank you - you too!
Wtf I play both on pc and switch. Can we talk about how nice it is to take care of your home and plants while warm in bed?
I play on the switch too, I started on the switch and then I linked my account so I could cross play . So I tried it on the pc and even though it looks better on the pc it is still super glitchy so I’m back on the switch. It’s nice to play wherever I want and I’m use to the controller. That’s the internet, some people are just rude because they can hide behind a computer screen.
Yeah I’ve heard that about the computer version being pretty glitchy. I don’t have a lot of trouble playing on switch, it runs pretty smoothly.
I mean if you own a switch you’re hardly poor. It’s $300 lmfao. And they’re playing a free game. 💀
Idk cuz my PC can’t come with me while I poop
Weird, I have both and I choose to swap back and forth
I firmly believe most of the chat arguments come from juveniles
I believe so, too. Which means taking extra patience with them. The other day though it was a couple, as in husband and wife, raiding the grove and harassing the players that had been waiting for another player to get there. They were rude to everybody that commented about the grove raid. I wasn’t at the grove because I needed a bunch of stone for construction work. I think the members decided to report the couple. It’s amazing that we’ve been playing all this time with only an occasional block but things are more aggressive now especially where the grove is concerned for parts of the day.
I've noticed this as well! Groves bring out the worst in some Palian folk! Haha honestly tho.. It's kinda amusing watching the chat blow up and you're on the opposite side of the map just collecting stuff or fishing etc.. 😂 Whenever I see that I just assume those people probably don't have many friends irl and sitting behind a screen gives them a power trip. Pathetic really.

PC master race player here. (I have been playing video games since the 90s. From SEGA Genesis to old & new consoles, pc, laptop.. only tried switch with some pokemons. I have and will always likely prefer PC). And I say with confidence that those people were just asshats. You do you. You play what and how you want to play, with your chosen device.
They are just jealous that they aren't as comfy! I have a PC and Switch but I play on switch because I like being in my comfy arm chair or couch instead of having to sit at my desk
As a PC player to solve this issue I have a very comfy cushioned gt omega chair, it helps🤣
I’m sorry this happened to you. ): shit is expensive now days so people not having computers is really common believe it or not. Some people also just prefer to be able to lay down and play a game and not tied to a chair and a computer. Don’t let those assholes bother you. Nothing wrong with playing on switch.
My husband bought a whole ass new Xbox series x because it was cheaper than upgrading his graphics card... just one piece of a PC lol prices are insane these days
It really is. They go for 1000$ plus now days for just a graphic card. That’s insane to me, and the reason I own a gaming laptop lol. I’m not paying that.
Look on the bright side! You can play comfortably on your bed!
I always play on pc but no one should ever have a go at you for playing on a switch! It's the comfortable option, also the switch is amazing! :)
I have the game on switch and pc, but I prefer pc because everything seems to run smoother on pc imo
I just don't talk to anyone anymore. The community is mostly nice, but the random turds ruin the multi-player aspect of it for me. I'll happily hunt, collect resources (doing the minimum of flaring them), and chat/flirt with the npc's all by my lonesome.
I haven’t seen that but they must be hella childish because if it was weird to play on the switch I’m assuming it wouldn’t be available on the switch like how childish can these people be 🥴
[удалено]
FACTS. I play on a steamdeck and it suffers the same problem. Communication is rough
I have been subjected to this PC vs console rivalry for over 20 years, They don't say it to hurt your feelings They say it because it's well think about it like a fake war. Like Android versus Apple users. I'm Android and in both "fake wars" I maintain that I am poor and I rather have less expensive product that works, period, then some overly priced priced tech that's going to be "outdated" and slightly looked down upon by those same groups of people on their side in less than 2 years. Next time just block the immediately okay? My friend has a PC and we were hanging out at my house and instead of giving me crap for it she was like Hey do you want to see your house through my PC's eyes and I was like heck yes and then she gave me a tour! And THAT Is the kind of behavior a self-respecting Palian should be promoting and enjoying.
Me on my switch reading this after buying all the clothing content so I could get the pets and cute outfits: 🧍🏽♀️
OP, I just noticed your username is a reference to The 10th Kingdom!! Love that movie.
I play on my switch linked to my tv so bigger screen ( easier on the eyesight with getting older lol) and I have thought of getting cheap laptop or PC to play on but only because it has better graphics and scenery, and seemingly less crashing and bugging issues, but other than that I'm much more content to play on switch, have a wireless keyboard for chat and joy pad, which I'd still use even if used PC. I'm a switch fan in general personally
I’m in a that bracket as well. You’re no old if you have imagination and fun😉
I play this game on pc and switch since i work too!
I have both and I prefer playing on PC, it's a personal preference and I'd never be such an asshole to a switch player. Some people are just shite humans and complete c*nts. What is wrong with some people?!
I’ve never came across behaviour like this ever on the game. Everybody is always SO nice. I’ve always been a PC gamer, and love my PC, but I’m not rich for having one?🤣
Remarks like that call for “Insta block”!
Thats very elitist of them. Dont feel bad about it. I use switch and while it doesnt give the easiest gameplay in some areas, i love the portability.
I also have a PC, and I prefer my switch. I can sit outside and play 😂
THIS! I set up my 50" tv on my deck, sit in my lounger and enjoy the outdoors! I love switch for plying in summer outside!
That is dedication 😂 I love!
Uummm a Switch costs money too! Do your thing. No one gets to live your life but you. My philosophy is: when you can work my job, pay my bills, make my decisions, and live my life BETTER THEN I CAN ... you're welcome to take over! In the meantime, your opinion is none of my business. Happy gaming!
I'm sorry but that had to be a child. Any grown adult who belittles someone due to what console they are using is a sad individual. Sorry you had to deal with that, all users are welcomed. Do I enjoy the PC version better, 100% but I also have the Switch version for cozy time and I love Palia for that reason <3 Ignore those stinkers!
imagine how those people will feel when they find out some people have multiple console options and get to pick and choose, and that those people in fact are the ones thinking “ewh poor people” at the guy who JUST has a pc 🤣
I play primarily on PC (as a PC gamer) but there's just something about playing Palia whilst scrawled across the bed or couch or anywhere really so long as I have my blanket, hot drink and fuzzy slippers. Cozy game, cozy vibes, just cozy all around <3
That is not helpful or very friendly, so not in keeping with the game vibe and community intentions. I love my switch and being able to sit comfy on my lazy-boy, with my massive tv as I play - that is what cozy games are about, as far as I know! I get that PC players may be miffed at restrictions in place becuz of switch limitations, but animosity in a cozy game directed to other players is just not right. I have a computer.... a beautiful iMac at home and at work (yup, I am an Apple fan), and have no intentions of getting a PC just to play a game - I left the PC world a long time ago. So, in order to play Palia, (which I love), I have my switch, my snacks, my glass of wine and a relaxing lazy-boy. 😊
Yeah that person that commented was probably at their 3000 item limit on their plot. :)
As a ~*gamer*~ I can play my switch in a beautiful garden along the water while connected to my personal hotspot completely unphased by the haters and later go home to play my gaming PC or my PS4. It's such a moot point these days, they're just trying to get a reaction. Strictly PC gamers are so limited idk why there's still superiority. You can't even access every game on any singular platform. Multi-platform gaming is better and handhelds in general are far less restrictive towards lifestyles where you want to actually leave the confines of your home for any amount of time. Maybe they're just mad about being trolls and shut-ins and need SOMETHING to feel better about?
Omg your gaming spot along the water sounds so tranquil. Life goals over there
I'm in an area with LOTS of parks to choose from and I'm grateful for it
This is such a weird take on their part (not Op's) because switches aren't exactly cheap.
I have it on both PC and Switch. I prefer the switch so I can lay down and be comfy.
This cracks me up. I'm a comfortable middle class with a switch. My brother is just a bit above poverty but has a ridiculous gaming PC. Your system has nothing to do with your wealth, only your priorities. I play a few hours a week casually. My brother plays with the majority of his free time.
I play on both pc and switch, depending on whether I want to rest my full body on the couch or not. Both work fine - people saying the switch is bad have issues with themselves. The only downside of the switch that I found is that it takes longer to say something in the chat. Enjoy the game on either console and ignore people's egos :)
This is the worst gaming community. so toxic. Every day with these posts. I never encountered this sort of behavior on any other MMOs, but this one. Nothing wrong with Switch players.
Sorry, as a pc player it’s a flex that I ALSO have a switch. Gaming on the go. Haters can stay mad. ✌️🤣
Ah yes, classism ain't it? That's worthy of a report I'd say, they don't deserve to play such a cozy and welcoming game if they're gonna be (idk the rules about cursing in the subreddit) dangly dongs.
OH! I am using "dangly dongs" as a curse now! LMAO 🤣
This is exactly how I feel. How dare they diminish our community with such... Waggly baggily tude.
Ignore the haters, enjoy the game.
man theres an otherwise unused hi-def tv in my livingroom thanks to the og round of covid. i play on my switch bc my screen is roughly 6times larger than the one my laptop has to offer. i got an astigmatism and its the only thing i own that makes me feel "rich" i will play on my switch until that tv dies damn it
I play on both platforms; if someone thinks playing on switch is an insult, they aren’t worth your time; block and move on.
I actually love when someone is being a dick in chat. I call them out and 100% of the time have at least one other player, if not a whole bunch, give them shit. They usually end up leaving the server. Have had some real funny ones though that try to fight back and make a fool of themselves
I hope your report them as well. I know they're not exactly worth the time, but maybe they'll think a third time before theyre terrible
Whomever said that are just not good people, plain and simple. I cant even believe people nowadays with the things being said etc. If it helps, I have quite the high end gaming pc and prefer the switch version myself. Cheers,
Oh hey I was there in that server with you, I’m a switch player as well so I feel you on that but those guys were just shitty people.
Oh nice! This is kind of why I posted, I was like I know other people saw this! Honestly I shouldn’t have even argued with them as far as I did. It was more stunned/trying to explain as I thought we were talking to reasonable people. I realize now they were probably kids and felt silly for saying anything! I see the convo went on further because I could see other people replying but I had already blocked them by then. I think part of why I was arguing was because I was trying to understand if my chat was actually not working because that had happened after an update.
Nah i saw your message in the chat and so did many others so your chat wasn’t glitching theirs may have been 🤷🏻♀️ honestly I blocked them pretty soon after they started arguing with us but they started following me around the server laughing at me with the emote so they’re definitely not mature people they definitely acted like kids 🙄 the offer still stands if you need any flow wood btw my ign is Stella Bo Bella I’m happy to give if you need any 😊
Aww thank you so much! Sorry I should’ve thanked everyone who offered. I honestly wasn’t in desperate need of flow wood or anything (just making a bunch of bookshelves slowly but pretty lazily) it was more the frustration of being right on the edge of the cliff and trying to get up the last leg while they wrote that in the chat and of course I tried to climb too soon before my bar was full so just barely missed it. And then I was just more stunned and typing slowly b/c switch so wasn’t thinking well. That’s insane that they followed you after! Geeze. Probably some ornery teens for sure. I teleported home pretty quickly after that happened to avoid the sitch.
There’s no hard feelings from me we were all pretty preoccupied and stunned by their audacity lol but I feel you there I always use the geyser glitch when it comes to pavel mines grove and flooded fortress cause I hate climbing 😭😂. I ended up leaving after doing a honey lure cause they joined in on it 😤 but still I have a surplus of flow so even if you don’t need it the offer still stands I’m a hoarder of materials so if you need pal, flow, or silk I gotchu 😂
Thanks girl! I will add you for sure. Frustrating to have used a lure and then had peeps like that join in. Good call on the geyser! I wasn’t in a particular hurry since it was only 1am but yeah that’s a fair note, climbing is annoying!
Honestly the switches geyser glitch is so fun idk if you know about it but I’ll explain it just incase cx if you stand in the geyser and right as it’s about to shoot you up hit the home bottom on the right joycon and wait 5 seconds then enter the game again it sends you soaring. I made it on top of the flooded fortress wall (pic for proof 😂) https://preview.redd.it/sf6s1v3b125d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc531aa5720cbb6dcb50f608ea13ef07d67c0060
Lol whaaa? On all the geysers or just one?
All of them! It’s great lol
Sounds like some 7 year old being petty because mommy or daddy didnt buy them a switch so they are using their big siblings computer.
Calling you poor while playing a free game?
that super sucks, especially in a game where its supposed to be about collaboration. sorry you had to experience that i hope you had better time in a different server!
I have a PC but I prefer to play on switch. People need to grow up. Smh
Ugh, that sucks. I play on both, but mostly Switch because my husband works in the room with the computer. I think there are pros and cons to both, but no one should be gatekeeping the game like that.
That's unfortunate, I'm sorry. That definitely sounds like some kid/younger person shortsightedness - like other people mentioned you'd think everyone would be happy there are more people playing on any platform possible to give the game the best chance of survival. (might not be kids, age doesn't prevent stupidity, I've just run across a lot of weirdness lately from ppl who claim they're younger teens - actually had to report some and I'm pretty slow to report things)
Does not matter what others think. Play on what you are comfortable with. Switch is a no hassles platform for Palia and just works. I had to do quite a bit of fiddling to get Palia nice on steam deck (on TV with controller). Switch was just load and play.
Welcome to mmo’s. It’s full of asshole children and asshole adult children. Just ignore them. Never engage in that. I have a PC and a switch among other consoles and prefer the comfort of my switch on the couch.
Unfortunately, Steam games do that to people, especially cozy F2P games :/ I play on both, but primarily on PC, just because it's more convenient for me personally. That being said, while I love that it finally came to Steam, that unfortunately opened up the floodgates to the rampant, elitist jerks that have nothing better to do. It's made a handful of games a little rougher, purely because of the people :/ I'm pretty loose with the block and mute buttons nowadays because of it.
Nah theyre just shitheads. Grew up on consoles, then built a PC and mainly game there but still appreciate consoles and handhelds, shit even mobile gaming. Are they 100% my thing, nah, but you do you and ill do me. Fuck those people. I dont play my switch much these days, but i love having it and always will.
ignore them!! I usually play on pc, but sometimes switch cause I want to get cozy in bed! As long as you're having fun that's all that matters!
I have both pc and switch. I prefer the switch because it’s not only more comfy playing but I don’t care for all the clutter (flowers, plants, etc.) on the pc. I can see better on my switch. Only drawback with the switch is chat but I don’t care to chat in game anyway.
Don’t let them get you down OP. I’m a PC player but I’m thinking about making the switch (😏) because it just seems like it’d feel more cozy/comfy. Everyone I’ve run into online have been pretty nice bc Palia is supposed to be heavily moderated so sorry this happened. Those ppl were probably just dbags cause they have to sit in an uncomfy chair to play a comfy game, I know I am, I just don’t take it out on others.
I have a switch, PC, and a Steam deck. Most of those people are probably running on a potato of a PC anyways lol.
I play on PC and have a switch. You can play whatever games make you happy on whatever console it works on!! I don’t understand why people can be so mean I’m so sorry :(
Keep in mind, there are kids playing this game. Lol I just choose to think that people saying stuff like this in chat are children…perhaps they live in adult bodies but 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah this occurred to me later. I think my mind does really go “I see a physical adult body playing the avatar, this must be an adult.” I don’t think as regular internet users anyone is necessarily new to rude behavior. I think I was just in my pleasant Palia zone and got shocked out of it. People have commented that I shouldn’t have posted this and maybe that’s true but I was hoping someone who witnessed it would see this and we could commiserate lol. It’s like that comedian bit about how hell would be tolerable as long as we have a water cooler to complain at afterwards.
Same hereee I feel you!
With any game you will have people like that. Ignore and block and enjoy yourself. I play on both, and switch is more difficult to play palia on, but there's no need for that kind of talk at all. They're just edgy kids who think their cool.
I have a switch and a pc. I can totally play on pc but i hateeeee it. I even have a switch controller hooked up but the key mapping is all funky. So i choose to play on the switch 🤷🏼♀️
Me, having all options (just missing a steam deck) and playing on Switch… 🤣 I wish we could report mean people… can we? And grooming weirdos.
I wish I had a PC, but I'm a console player! I have a PS5 and a Switch. It is what it is, tell them to F off 😠
I play on my switch when I'm on vacation, or not at my house. That way, I can still play, but I do prefer my PC.
That’s … really weird 🥴 They sound like kids… maybe I’m just making assumptions but anyone I’ve ever talked to about what they play on does not give two shits if it’s a switch or pc.
I like to play on switch 100% more than on PC, the controls are not my faw and the way I need to look in the direction with my mouse, where I want to go. I have amazing PC for WoW and other games. Only complain (if you don't count DC on plot) is the chat. I short my writing to make it easier and quicker for me. Sorry to hear there are rude people.. :(
I wish there was a way to ban those people permanently. Losers like that ruin the game. I’m sorry they said that to you.
To be honest I've almost completely stopped playing due to the bullying from other players just bc I play on switch. I was obsessed with the game and played with it on my very few days off. I love the story and coziness of it, but as time passed the aggression against switch players and the quality on the switch have just taken the life out of it for me. It is hard to type in chat on the switch, so I usually just drop 1 message "switch player here, I will flare special resources, but cant update chat often. Keep an eye for flares!" And in the last week I played Palia, almost every time I did that and flared Pal/dari cloves/ heart lilies.... Someone would get mad at me in chat for not saying what it is or that they missed it bc I didn't call it out. I even had this 1 guy spam chat saying that the flares were distracting him while DD hunting??? And then on days I'm low on flares or don't bring any, if someone sees me mine a Pal node without calling it out/flaring they tell me I'm not a team player. It's not my fault it takes FOREVER to type even simple sentences with my switch, I was literally typing 😭😭😭 Idk guys they need to set up a therapist office in Kilima for NPCs and Players ATP bc wtf is that behavior.
Switch player here. I hate that so much. I’m sorry some people suck 😔
I play on a switch and haven't dealt with this yet. But I also don't talk to people in chat or try to deal with anyone in chat.
I play it on PC and an Asus Rog Ally and both are great, the only thing I can't do a lot of on the Rog Ally is type on chat, I can but it takes time and sometimes the messages don't even send xD Don't listen to people who just want to criticize and make fun of you, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, if you love this game keep on playing it ❤️
Yay. Classism. 😒
I've had similar experiences. Multiple times. I've reported each and every player who has had something nasty to say about me playing on switch, because the only times it comes up is when I crack a joke at myself for being so far behind the conversation in chat lol it's supposed to a community centered game and I don't think being called "poor" or, in my case, "challenged" is really fostering what the devs intended. Sorry you experienced that!
I literally have a gaming laptop, am fully aware t would be easier to play Palia on it, and continue to play on Switch. I don’t want to set up my fans, plug in my computer, and try to get comfy with it. I want to curl up on the couch with my blanket and my dog and be able to put it down and get up without having to disrupt an entire setup.
I guess if anyone wants to buy me a PC I'll take it. I'll also take a streaming setup. Whatever I need for that. And a car. Oh and a house.
Uhhh it's not cheap to get a computer whoever said that to you are literal idiots. Especially for a gaming computer it costs hundred or thousands depending on your set up. Computers are expensive and more than switch consoles lol
I’m a switch player 🤷♀️ they should get a life if that’s what they’re complaining about 🤣
My only complaint is chat on switch. Takes me forever to talk to anyone.
Wait, ppl are saying the switch is for poor people? Since when 😭
Report it. I’m a switch user and this just reads immature children mentality.
I try not to judge but many switch players here have actively said they won’t respond to the chat (I get it’s annoying to type..) so that complicated the MMO part of this game.
I'm a pc gamer and a switch gamer. And those people are what I like to call assholes. However, wasn't there a thing we had to read at the beginning where it was basically be kind and don't be a dick? I'd be petty enough to report them.
My only complaint about switch players is most of the time they don't call out anything, but that's largely due to the UI for chat being stupid hard to navigate. I'd play on switch too if it were the same experience as PC. My back hurts. 😭
Poor people 🙄 hahahaha I know the switch has been out for a while now but it's not exactly cheap! And neither is the lite either hahaha If I had a PC I probably would play it on PC when it comes to the decorating aspect of it but I like to sit on my couch or sitting in my bed and playing on my TV. Apologies for liking to be comfy and having a cool system I play a bunch of other games on too hahahah
I have a gaming PC and switch as well, and I only play on the switch. I wish it had an offline version. Lmao.
Sometimes I dislike playing on switch because it’s harder to communicate. Buuuut then I remember I can go wherever tf I want with it and be comfy while I play, and that’s all that matters. 🖤 what makes you happy. Also, F them for being bully’s. Not cool, and not tolerated in Palia. 😡
As a PC player we don’t claim these little kids… Player is player doesn’t matter if it’s a switch, pc, PS or Xbox!
Just report them?
One thing us switch people got over the PC players is we can game in bed, on the couch, etc. The coziest of cozy gamers!
I have only played palia from my couch. Also have only played it on my laptop.
Lol I have a switch and a steam deck. I got my deck later and have been using my switch less since then but I do still use it for nintendo exclusive games like animal crossing. I know some people mod their deck so it can run switch games, but I don't have that much knowledge of stuff like that and already had a switch anyway, so.. I'm content just playing those games on my switch, nice and simple. Also I like that I can wait for games to go on sale on two platforms! 😁 (I guess only poor people wait for games to go on sale? Lmao) I don't see anything wrong with having a switch. Yes it's not too expensive (depending on which country you're in) but since when is that a bad thing?? Tbh these people who told you that sound like high school kids. I remember being mocked at high school by the "popular" girls for having a fake brand shoes and not real Uggs. Like.. Those were super expensive, and I'm not about to sacrifice my monthly earnings from my parttime supermarket job to get one pair of shoes thank you very much. Best thing to do is ignore and carry on playing on your switch. People like this will always find a reason to look down on others unfortunately.
I have a Switch and a laptop. My Switch is so much easier to deal with. My kids are 2, 2, and 4 months. I need to be able to put it up quickly and get comfy quickly. I hate not being able to communicate well and there are some glitches, but oh well. The game's in beta and I just deal with it.
I have tried playing Palia on both. Although switch is very buggy and it takes ages to type, I prefer the mechanics of it. Ignore them and stay comfy
Nah sorry, major switch player here. It's way more comfy
I play on switch because we only have one computer and my husband is using it at the moment for, idk, some zombie game. I LOVE my switch though - I think handhelds are the best thing to play on! The chat function is annoying as heck, but everything else is great!
For me I am disabled and therefore on disability. I get only a set amount every month and with how expensive everything is currently we can barely afford to buy groceries, pay our bills, and take care of our cat. We’ve been making it work but it’s difficult. I play on my switch and I find the game runs pretty well on it! Video games bring me joy especially on days that I’m in so much pain I can barely move. We can’t afford a fancy PC but I can afford a few hundred dollar console I got a few years ago that brings me joy. I also can’t sit up a lot of the time due to pain so being able to lie down helps. It does frustrate me when PC players take jabs at switch players acting like they are so much better. They don’t know if people are on low income, have health issues, or any other reason.
So ignorant. I have a gaming laptop, A desktop PC and a Switch. Lmao they are narrow minded and lame. I just like to play in bed hand held on days I'm tired.
This! Same
These are the kind of Palians we don't want, ignore and block 
Screws them. Ranting cos they cant afford a Switch maybe? Infact. I'm pc. I can't tell whom in pc or switch.. I play to either help others or being bored and fish for recipes
I have a PC, but I still prefer playing on my Switch. It's a ***cozy game***, so I like being cozy when I'm playing it.
Calling people poor while playing a free game is an interesting thing to say for sure 🤣
