ima grab the new dragon age on here. fukk it

Get a ROG Ally X if you want to run that game

 

[Brandwin]

I want it but it’s outdated soon… it’d be nice for older titles tho but too expensive.

I use it as my indie machine. I have zero interest in playing triple A titles on a small screen. So for me, its perfect.

 

[JQ Legend]

need something smaller and cheaper

This joint right here was recommended earlier

It’s $30 now

I thought that game was compatible and ran pretty good

$25 now I might cop

Is Ali express legit?

Also any of y’all heard of the ASI Claw? It came up when I searched for SD and is around the same price

Best Buy got the ROG Ally on sale for $400 but it’s better to just get the SD right? Regular SD is better than regular Ally ROG but the higher price ROG is better?

I’m not familiar with CES, a quick Google says it’s an event coming up in a few days. So devices go on sale or something then? Or it might be a new Steam Deck 2 announced?

And yea I was just gone cop since it’s so cheap. I saw a r36s on Amazon with 30000 games for $80 but that’s somewhat steep foe something I’m just getting to hold me over. Rather put that $80 towards the SD and call it a day

And any of y’all heard of that ASI Claw thing? I saw others too

Maybe not a steam deck but Lenovo is rumored to be putting out a steam os device… that’s what I’m
Waiting for


Don’t buy the current claw.. there’s a ai version of the claw coming out that can do ray tracing and is way more powerful

I loved my deck but had to let her go I’m sure there will be a new one this year. The sales on the refurb oled was tempting me since there is no tax in canada
