    Anyone snagging an Asus ROG Ally next month?

    From what I've heard, the buttons aren't great. Like the face buttons can get stuck in a depressed position. I also read about some person complaining about the right trigger (or was it right stick?) sometimes activating the touch screen as if it were being touched. Considering this device is from a fairly large company, that boggles my mind that this is how it was shipped. Very disappointing. :/  Aside from that, the interface doesn't appear to be all that great.

     

    Honestly, the Steam Deck is more than enough for the type of games I'm looking to play on a handheld. But It's great to see it actually get some competition at a similar price.

    4070 Ti officially announced. Will be on sale in 2 days (Jan 5th) for $799. Performance looks to be right around or slightly better than a 3090 Ti, but also includes DLSS3.

    Would there actually be any available at MSRP? My understanding is that there is no founders edition for the 4070 ti, so the $799 USD price tag is more like $850+ USD.

    I took a quick look on newegg Canada at some prices and looks like it's going for $1200 - $1400 CAD. :(

     

    I'm debating selling my 3070 and picking up a 3080 (new, not used) as I'm not quite satisfied with the ray tracing performance on the 3070. The one I'm looking at says it requires at least a 750W PSU. Mine is exactly 750W. Could I run into any potential issues? I have a Ryzen 3800X and 16 GB of RAM (might bump that to 32 GB depending on how Returnal actually runs with 16GB).

    who else is already getting itchy for a Steam Deck 2? :p

    I feel like they need to iron out all the software issues with Steam OS first. It has gotten much better from when I first got mine, but it's still not perfect. The last two titles I played both had audio issues when coming out of sleep mode, for example.

    How do you like the system so far and any issues with controls like stick drift?

    I hated the d-pad on the lite. Eventuality I caved and bought an OLED Switch. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. The oled screen is nice, but everything else about it... less so.

     

    I've always felt the button layout on the Switch was uncomfortable and cramped,  but after using the Steam Deck, I'm hating the button layout and design of the switch. It feels like it's meant for people with small hands. My hands aren't very big at all, but I find the button layout on the Steam Deck so much better. It's designed for normal sized hands. Also I got used to having the grips on my Steam Deck and nearly dropped the Switch twice recently. 😅. 

     

    But aside from that, the performance bothers me a lot. There are a lot of indie games I want to purchase to have a physical copy of, but they either have performance issues or are locked at 30 fps. I've been playing Link's Awakening, and it's honestly frustrating. Any time a different area comes into view, the performance jumps from 60-30 fps for several seconds. It can be very jarring, and looks awful. Some people aren't bothered by this, but it's really turning me off from exploring as much as I want to.

     

    Oh, as for stuck drift, I haven't experienced any yet.

    I just finished Death's Door, currently trying to get the last two achievements (need to beat the game with an umbrella, and go through the metal detector without triggering it). I started it Late on July 31st, so I'm counting it. Not sure what's next. Either Fire Emblem Fates Revelations, or Zelda, Link's Awakening on Switch... or wtv I'm in the mood for once I'm done with Death's Door. The game looks beautiful on the Deck.

    First time in my memory I’ve had conjunctivitis…

    Got it when I was a kid. When it first hit me, my eyes started watering like mad. I was at school and some kid joked that I must be allergic to paper. The next morning I was freaking out because I thought I was blind. Turns out I just couldn't open my eyes due to all the crust that built up on my eyes overnight. 

     

    It was gross.
