Honestly, Windows is my only gripe. I did choose knowing it because I wanted not only Steam access, but xbox cloud/gamepass and any other launcher. When using the built in Armory Crate software, which is their custom gaming software, it runs great, almost flawless. The software toggles for framerate limits, refresh rates etc is really well done.

Hardware wise, it's light which I love, the screen is really solid and audio actually is impressive. I know fully cranked specs will drain the battery quite quick. So far though with stardew valley and Xbox cloud, I've been surprised at battery life, and haven't felt a need for an external battery yet.

Plus I paid less than the cheapest Steam Deck despite me getting the 512gb version too.

Just bought a ROG Ally. It's my first forced use of 11 and the device is great, however Windows has never been more of a pain in the ass.

Yeah, something smells off. My guess is they just don't have enough exciting things to showcase.

No one is telling them to spend millions on a presentation. They could literally hire a presenter and hit play on their trailer playlist.

Ok fine, at the speed of light then.

Remember, the money is in the service, not the hardware. Battle pass on Playstation is a printer for money tapping a new market.

I'd love to run just Linux, but I don't want to hassle with dual boot for the couple of competitive shooters I do play.

It sucks because all the other games I play would run without a problem.

It's the multi-player side that is still an issue though. The anticheat software is a pain.

I think AI has its place.

That place isn't shoved down the throat of the consumer.

Damn, Asus used to be THE one to buy, like unquestionably.

It's simply the fact that we don't have the laws in place to prevent it. A lot of our constitution was built on good faith politics. That no one would be stupid/lucky enough to get to these echelons on government. The modern day Rs know this and exploit it, and the Ds still play by the good faith playbook, and here we are.

I'm sorry...ppl thought this was real? They paid like 60 something billion for blizz. VALVE is EASILY worth that, if not double.

I live in Texas and have already received 2 notices this spring to conserve electricity. It has barely hit 90, and they aren't able to keep up with demand. They get the same weather reports we have access to, up to 14-21 days, yet they can't/won't anticipate demand?
