Asus Rog Ally |OT| Another competitor enters the arena

[The Intergalactic Koala]

for me this was one of the biggest betrayals in wrestling

Mr Wonderful put some stank in that clothesline . No wonder him and Hoegan had beef. That was from the soul brother.

ya they had a tag match…if memory serves me well it was him and hogan vs bundy and big john stud…then paul orndorff turned on hogan

*edit*

ya here’s the match…I timestamped it to a little before he betrays hogan

The SD card I was using for emulation on the Steam Deck isn't being picked up on the Ally

Can't even get mad because it makes all the sense in the world (2 different operating systems), but now I have to buy another one and "start over" (I'm just going to copy from one to another)

For the amount of biting Windows did to Linux, they could have bit the format in the process

first impressions after 24 hours.


1. took a million restarts and updates to get up and running but we good now.

2. Asus armor crate aint a bad compilation front for all the games.

3. No heat where my hands are. Am concerned about whenever I add an SD card, as the slot is at the top vent and it can get toasty there.

4. buttons are whatever. had to fiddle a lot with sensitivity settings as the sticks are wobbly.

5. Seriously impressed by the performance im getting out of a handheld. and its lighter than it looks.

6. Windows is a blessing and a curse, but a necessary evil to have all my games work compared to Steam OS. Microsoft owns the market in compatibility, but it would be nice if they made this more mobile friendly. much work left to be done. I can manage it, but would prefer a more streamlined experience for a handheld.

7. Screen is gorgeous. Colors really pop and it looks crisp. well done ASUS.

8. They coulda given us a better holder than a piece of white cardboard. At least a nice kick out stand like the Switch.

9. Overall, im keeping it. this is day one impressions tho so this can change. im trying to figure out how ASUS is gonna make money on this thing. Steam Deck makes sense to sell at a loss cuz ol Gabe taking his cut outta every game sale, but ASUS is strictly hardware. regardless, 700 bones is a lot but for what you're getting its pretty competitive price wise.

I might not be going back to the Deck

Battery life is a non issue since this will never leave the crib.

The screen, the power, and the ease of using Windows are too much to give up


I aint even tried emulation yet

There’s still certain things Steam Deck does better. So I’m keeping mine for now but I do notice I pick up the Ally way more often these days. The comfortablity of use on the Steam Deck is way better tho. The buttons and the layout etc etc.

Y'all gotta be fukkin kidding me.. Y'all dead ass buying $700 game boys out here can this be screen shared to play on a monitor or tv? I'm confused as to why there's a real market for such niche products. I would imagine anybody that would want this already has a great PC, and if you do then...? I'm looking to get into PC master race proper and this doesn't seem to be the way

I dropped about 3k into my latest desktop build. but I travel a lot so I dont feel like packing a 10+ pound mid tower in my luggage. theres something nice about chilling on the airplane or in the hotel bed gaming.

if somebody isnt on the go a lot then I can understand this being a waste. its a niche use product. im gonna be in about 12 different cities in July traveling for work and need something portable that I can play without having to stream to my MacBook.

I hope u didn’t update to 319. 317 is WAY better performance. 30% difference.

I'm still trying to figure out what i want to do for my emulation setup. I prefer to keep my emulation sepreate from my pc games so not really interested in emudeck. For whatever reason Batocera doesn't have audio or wifi working yet so I'm waiting for them to fix that.

Took the chance on a aliexpress 2tb for 104$ waiting for it to arrive in 10 days lol. The steam deck reddit vouched for it and at the price it was worth the risk.

So I set up Chiaki on this last night and played FF16 for damn near 2 hours. This is crazy. You couldn't tell me I wasn't playing this natively.

Absolutely no lag at all and the game looks great on this screen. This honestly might be my preferred way to play PS5 games now lol.

Downloaded DevilutionX mod for Diablo 1. Lots of quality of life updates, but most importantly controller support(that includes the Allys handheld controls).Setup is piss easy on windows. And the touchscreen works for all the menus
