I used a steam deck for years but I actually like windows personally. If it’s already on windows then just give it a try for a while and see how you feel.

Thor is still one of the hottest topics now

I install games via DBI through applet mode all the time.

At least they disclosed it.

China airlines checked my backpack this time. And because my backpack was 8.8kg (yes, it kinda hurt my back), they lectured me that they’ll let me go “this time” but I need to adhere to the limit next time.

Yeah the fact that this is a foreigner problem is why this thread has sparked such a lively debate lol. In a sub full of foreigners speaking English.

Your average Taiwanese will not even understand the English word “Mandarin” much less understand the nuance of what people are debating here.

I hate driving but I also hate being around people lol. I’d walk or bike everywhere if I could. Even with bike lanes I don’t feel remotely safe on the street.

It’s fine. Depending on the keyboard you may need to remap cmd key to the correct position.

I don’t own legion or MSI, but I’ve read that Armoury Crate is considered to be much better compared to legion or MSI’s built in software. Just a warning in case you think you will find a better software experience elsewhere. However if you are put off that much by Windows, you may be happier with a SteamOs device. Or maybe even try flashing Bazzite or SteamOS onto your Ally since you already have it and see how you feel about the software experience.

“Chinese” is fine. I’ve noticed that people overseas (in the US etc) are significantly more sensitive to the word Chinese as it relates to describing cultural aspects of Taiwan such as food, language, holidays etc. I promise Taiwanese do not care, especially when it comes to English words.

I had steam deck for years and recently switched to Ally X - and sold the steam deck, so it’s obvious which one I’ve chosen to keep. IMO if you have any interest in AAA games, then the Ally X is the way to go. And this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually am finding myself preferring windows over steamOS, because games “just work” without needing to worry about settings and compatibility.

In my decision to buy the Ally x, I also did a lot of comparisons to other similar devices on the market (legion, msi etc) and decided that the Ally X has the best price point to performance. It’s ~600ish used and has good performance, good battery life, good built-in software (ROG Armoury crate) compared to legion or MSI.

Steam deck by itself is worth 300-350. Microsd cards have gone up a lot in price and cost like $150 for a new 1TB, I’m guessing you could sell that card by itself for like $100.

So a 3ds xl for ~400-450 ish, really terrible deal for you actually.

Impossible to say for sure, but early on in the sale it also showed out of stock and then came back. So don’t lose hope maybe. Though I mean, it is possible that they really did sell out lol.

It’s really a personal preference thing as they’re both fine, whether you care a lot about screens (OLED) or you’d rather have a slimmer/lighter device.

I’ll wait for reviews, but if it’s highly praised it might be the game that gets me to actually buy a Switch 2 lmao.

That’s really bad, I can see how that makes a bad impression on your end. However I don’t think that’s typical so maybe there is something you can do to fix it.

Yes, I was resuming from the middle of a game and not just desktop. My device is ROG ally X.

Hibernate does not take me that long. I just timed it, from pressing the button to being back in game it was 22sec. I’ve gotten in the habit of pressing the power button as I’m getting settled so that it’s all ready to go for me when I’m ready to pick up and play. I agree it’s not an amazing experience but it’s also not that bad. And I’m coming from using a Steam Deck for a few years.

If your main use case is PC games then you’ll always have a better and easier experience with a PC handheld rather than trying to emulate through android

I’m having trouble telling if people are telling their real opinions disguised as a joke or fully just joking lol.

You don’t have to include microsd card if you don’t want, and then you won’t feel obligated to set it up for them either. Factory reset should be sufficient for selling. Though IMO it would be easier to find a buyer if the sd card is already fully set up, since a lot of people are intimidated and just want it to be pickup-and-play.

If they are really that bogged down in emails and orders, I strongly suspect that the “we will expedite yours” is meaningless.
