Can be. I paid around $450 for my PC , i9 9900k and rx 6800 16gbvram 32gb ram, all parts were used and I built it myself. With my setup I can play any game I want ultra settings 60+fps 1440p EASY.

Got an Ally, the SD driver in Armoury Crate is heavily outdated, getting the newer driver direct from the vendor fixed all my sd card issues. I think people ran with the heat idea too quickly because the Deck's reader often reaches the same temps during heavy use and is fine

Exactly but doesn’t matter how much you explain this some people are going to be too brain dead to have common sense.

[@nathanjuan6042]

You can use the Ally's analog for navigating Windows like a mouse; it's not that difficult-RB and RT act as left and right click. Personally, I haven't used my touchscreen for navigation with my Ally, so I'm not sure why some people find it difficult. Perhaps they're just biased, but that's just my opinion though. Another point to consider is that the Ally can play all games without a problem, including modern AAA games at 1080p 120hz with VRR, so I believe it deserves to be in the A tier. If the Deck is on tier A which has weaker processor and has limitations in games and only has 800p Ally should be on A as well or even S tier since it can do more. Gamepass, Epic games, Steam games and other more

[@menliondoes7387]

if the majority of people are saying that windows is difficult to navigate on the rog ally, maybe your the one who's biased... also higher numbers doesn't equal better product.

[@nathanjuan6042]

@@menliondoes7387 Majority of people find it difficult ? 🤦‍♂️ You mean some people not majority 😂 How sure are you that its majority? Maybe steamdeck users only that haven't even touch a ROG ally device because they can't afford it. Even a 10 year can operate it easily.

[@nathanjuan6042]

​@@oxzak9093 I've owned a PS Vita from 2012 to 2015, then switched to the Switch in 2022. I've also had the chance to play my brother-in-law's PS5, and I can say I've had a similar experience using it with my Ally. When you open the Ally, it goes straight to Armoury Crate, where all games and game launchers are readily available. You don't even need to navigate through Windows to operate it. However, if you prefer, you can easily switch to desktop mode with just a click. It's literally click-and-play. If you're struggling to use it, then perhaps the issue lies with you, not the Ally. It's designed to be intuitive, so if you're still having trouble, maybe the problem is you.

So weird how Linus just made a console tier list yesterday. Damn tech hivemind

[@Smithbrandon3125]

Series s, with an attachable screen, makes it the best ever. Not only is it super portable, but you don't even need a TV to play games. I'm booting up Dragons Dogma 2 from my hotel room and only the console is plugged in. It's kinda awesome.

what is the prediction release of the switch 2

[@yogibear2k220]

The only problem with Games Consoles is that you not only have to pay for the consoles itself, but also pay for the always online Internet connection, pay for their crappy subscription services and pay for all games, where, with the PC, you just buy a pre-built, or build it yourself, and you can game on it straight away. No subscription costs, no always on internet connection and 1000's of free games which can come from anywhere and not just the propitiatory store than the companies force you to use.

[@kylespevak6781]

My best friend keeps telling me he prefers buying $400 consoles every few years

[@stephenpawking]

I actually have a $1200 pc. Well. More like $1000 without the monitor. I can play 4k ok mostish games playing around with the settings. I still prefer my xbox series x over it. It's just so much more convenient, so much more faster. Just turn on and play, it has the quick resume feature which means I can leave single player games running up to like 5? Even if the xbox is unplugged they stay opened. Gamepass is great too, so I don't really replay many games if any. So the fact that there are like +450 games I can try out in gamepass. Idk it's just me but I prefer it over my pc

[@eyomme1]

But here's the kicker. The complexity of a PC is it's biggest weakness. Majority of people who just wants to play games doesn't want to deal with PCs' intricacy. They just want to buy/download a game and press play. No BS tweaking of settings and dealing with a crap ton of settings just to make the most out of your investment. Not to mention, most console games that were ported to the PC are buggy especially at launch. That's why in my opinion, as much as I love my gaming PC, it would never be the "de facto" "master race" when it comes to gaming.

[@s.a.n8633]

good video watched the whole thing👌🏻

[@Techmej]

Personally, I absolutely *love* the Series S in concept, but it just doesn’t work for me when I need backwards compatibility with my Xbox 360 DVD’s and I don’t have the money to re-purchase my games or buy a subscription. The slight upcharge for the Series X or PS5 is absolutely worth it for people like me, and I’m telling you that you won’t regret it, especially if you travel a lot and migrate TV’s.
