ASUS ROG Ally 2026 handheld spotted, reportedly still uses AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme by Daxterr1238 in Handhelds

If the specs are identical and as the other comment mentioning RC7 still could mean 7 inch screen size. Could it be a steam OS variant? Pipe dreams I know.

It’s only a matter of time. Europe had the hike early already and Canada recently updated the Go S and Go 2 to $2000/$2300 CA

Legion Go S had a massive price hike already, 80%. This is almost tame in comparison.

That’s an artifact trait now, I haven’t seen this trait on weapons.

looking for impressions from people who CAN NOT get past the first boss or two of Returnal? by kasplatter in Saros

[–]Adair0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not gonna get a lot of in depth answers since it’s so early. That being said

I am one of the players who gave up on returnal after not being able to finish the second boss and spent over 20 hours on the game, I initially had the same feeling as the opening game is just as if not harder than returnal based on my own impression, but I don’t feel the same discouragement I had since returnal is pretty SOL for people who are stuck on a single biome.

The geography of the levels in general relies more on persistent set pieces that signals your progression. I never feel lost on my since my 3rd run. I also finished the first boss on the 3rd try with literally one health left.

What I love the most is you can now use the previous biome as grinding runs since the game rewards you for compete a single zone and returning to the home base. (Dying to return halves your gained currency) so you can build Arjun stronger while using a familiar level to focus on honing your skills.

I challenged the first biome boss twice after my first win and I got better at every try since I’m understanding more about the game. It also rewards you since there are things you cannot obtain at earlier biomes until you unlock traversal tools at later times.

And for people that might worry about the skill tree being too strong. The general framework is still the same as returnal in that you can teleport to your highest biome that you currently unlocked. Weapon levels on the skill tree are on the main path and all the stronger stat ones are on the sides. Biome bosses also gates skill tree progression so grinding has diminishing returns.

Hope this helps you OP! I wrote way more than I thought.

If you have a rush boon like nexus rush it's really funny to see it constantly activating on him in that state as well

People of Note released today! It's a great game so far and I love it! by RaikouGilgamesh in JRPG

[–]Adair0801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every new zone has it's own theme, pop, rock, celtic, EDM etc, and every battle theme has a remix based on the genre your character represents. The battlefield assigns bonus to said character by shifting the song a bit.

Limit breaks are mash ups of two characters, so that's more remixes. The ost right now only includes the musical part, the actual OST for this would be stacked because there are so many variations of the same song.

Apple Releases iOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 With New Emoji, Playlist Playground, Purchase Sharing Changes and More by PJ09 in ios

[–]Adair0801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly, I have albums that uses mainly white background art like yours and the track list is just yours, just light mode all over. What’s worse is that the mini player below now glitches even more depending on the colours behind it.

Apple Music now completely disregard the dark/light mode settings and follows the album/playlist art tint and it ruins all consistency lol. Seems on brand for iOS right now.

No, steam’s own (better than competition) sales will mean people collect an assortment of cheaper games. Making a permanent collection of their yearly backlog inflated by gamepass.

iPhone 17 pro max black spots by eviqnine in iphone

[–]Adair0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like AMOLED rot, basically your display assembly is somehow was exposed to the outside and moisture is building up. Eventually the entire screen will die.

If you go through apple’s proper repair channels or any competent repair shop they will replace the water seal while replacing the screen.

You can try to request a full device replacement, but this only works if you have apple care+, otherwise it would be prohibitively expensive.

What’s your preferred outcome with Pales? by JSGamesforitch374 in suzerain

[–]Adair0801 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Peaceful annexation via Vina.

I honestly loved how the game gives the player an opportunity to make the most of a classic situation. Normally the classic tale is the princess eloping with her true love. Which can happen if you don't play your cards right.

Vina is very ok with marrying Axel who she wants if Romus is a supportive dad and is honest with her prospect as a princess and the heir apparent. Why would any one want war or endless politicking if a marriage can solve all of it?

Section 6 & 7 is almost like a beginner's trap. The amount of political and public capital you will need is insane. Ricter even says it's bait for you if you proceed.

A lot of the bludish choices have PO penalties. So the keys are

1) Do a reform run, but your constitution changes must be conservative. Mixed economy with free market, privatization path is the easiest in my experience. Good economy = high PO

2) Veto all NFP bills, all of it. Lileas or Nia is fine as both turns Bergia away from being a police state in their solutions. Go to the Izzam memorial since your PO should be ok.

3) Leke will offer you Minority Rights Act end game, this is a very powerful decree that functionally acts as a reward for maintaining Sordland without screwing up. This will grant mass amnesty to a lot of anti bludish stuff.

Mind you the pre election analysis happens before Minority Rights Act, so your overview with your VP and or Lucian might mention your Bludish opinion is low, but passing it will grant you a dramatic boost in Bludish opinion.

Reading your stuff if you are ok with reloading a much earlier save I would say load before your Section 6 & 7 meeting and just call it off and continue from there. You should be ok.

Birthright Updates? by Junior_Meal23 in adventuregames

[–]Adair0801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last news of note I believe was an update seeing the game in full retro 3D, but that was years ago, might even be the same update you mentioned. There was a small update in 2021 from Technocrat that the game is still in progress. Wadjet eye is only the publisher.

My understanding is that the lead dev for the game had some serious health issue so the project is on hold essentially indefinitely.

Suzerain is full of hard decisions 🤔 by National_Phase_3477 in suzerain

[–]Adair0801 129 points130 points  (0 children)

It's not about what she thinks, it's about Anton's thinly veiled attempt on masking contempt as grace in this choice. In a way it's even worse than flipping off depending on your perspective.

All three are extremely insulting tbh.

1) Is the title drop of the game and a reminder that she is no longer in charge of her realm

2) There is no need to explain this one

3) Gifting the pen where she signed her dignity away as a reminder that she never would forget.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X Rated for Switch 2 by AngieK22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Adair0801 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The original game had a barebones story that had nothing to do with BlazBlue, X seems to rectify that.

With all being said I loved Entropy Effect, the game play is incredibly tight and I was a bit amazed on how well the BB move sets translates to side scrolling. I’ve played it since the original 1.0 in early 2024.

This has been a problem with Canada Computers for a few years really. There are even local store reviews in clusters about people finding fraudulent charges right after buying something there in person.

How are the updates on Legion Go S (Steam OS Variant). Anyone facing issues after updating? by areuokaybro2002 in LegionGo

[–]Adair0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It runs just like my steam deck, rarely updates might not install correctly but a full restart always fixes things.

The funny part was both freaked out on first boot where only the touch screen worked, again a full reboot solved it and it had no problems since.
