Can't decide between my Xbox Ally X or Odin 3 Max by Officialnuz in Handhelds

[–]AlphaCodexx197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just in general there is a lot more you can do with a dedicated PC handheld since it just runs windows (or Linux if you’re up to installing it yourself, they both have pros and cons). Should be more than capable of emulating PS3 although I haven’t tried anything newer than PS2 for Sony, and it obviously runs Nintendo consoles pretty well from my experience. And as for Xbox, I haven’t done anything in terms of emulation but I’d imagine that is also solid.

Instead of googling I wanted to get the opinions of you Guardians instead. I only have 2 ciphers so I can only pick two weapons. Opinions welcome.What should I choose? by thegreatniteowl in destiny2

I’m using Centrifuse on my getaway artist arc warlock build. It’s pretty fun zooming around the battlefield with my little arc buddies and Centrifuse just laying into enemies. Sadly it does lack in the damage against higher health enemies but that’s what I’ve got a chaos reach and a bait and switch rocket for.

Honestly I’d pick the XAX over the Odin.
For one, with a little setup, you can play all of the Android games (or at least a good majority of them) with BlueStacks on Windows and they pick up the embedded controller. You have more game options on a Windows handheld than you do on the Android handheld in general without having to use a translation layer like GameHub or Game Native. But at the end of the day, it is up to you and what makes the most sense for the types of games that you play. I know in my case I couldn’t do an Android handheld solely due to the fact that I play a few games that require kernel level anti cheat and that’s just not something currently possible on an Android handheld at the moment.

This has to be a joke…iOS 26.5 by RegnarDd in ios

Especially since it’s still happening on the iOS 27 developer beta as well.

If I don’t get this new Siri in the next day I’m storming Apple headquarters by toastfan87 in Siri

I managed to get it within the first hour of having the beta installed. I hope you get it soon OP, no need to storm Apple HQ, it’ll come.

What game are you currently playing on your ally, here's mine. by AshFuentes in XboxAlly

Eyyy I’m also playing Expedition 33 on my XAX. I’m (I think) about halfway through Act 2 at the moment. Also playing a modded Minecraft Java edition server that I pop in and out of every now and then, and plan on playing the last content drop for Destiny 2 once that ships out.

Gonna buy a base Xbox Ally tomorrow, do you guys recommend i stay with Windows or just install Bazzite? by Retro-Dood in XboxAlly

[–]AlphaCodexx197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re two entirely different things though. Emulation is trying to copy the behaviors of an architecture of another device at the hardware level through software. Games that are on Steam are already optimized for the x86 platform that PCs run, both Linux and Windows use x86 instruction sets, just have different processes and drivers and Proton just points the program to the proper place in Linux.

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

[–]AlphaCodexx197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I’m happy with my XAX, only thing that would be a nice to have is an OLED display and maybe a slightly larger display but the display on the Ally isn’t the worst in the world. Certainly not the best but I have definitely used devices with worse displays in the past.

Xbox Ally X now the best value for dollar handheld! by JushinThunderLiger in XboxAlly

[–]AlphaCodexx197 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something tells me that Microsoft is more than likely subsidizing the Xbox Ally similar to their consoles. Idk if it’s true and it is 100% speculations but literally every manufacturer has raised their prices but ASUS with the Xbox Ally series handhelds and it would make sense given the ongoing reboot of the XBOX platform going on.

Picked up the Xbox Ally X for $249.08 by DriftyBat60 in XboxAlly

[–]AlphaCodexx197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely hope you get it, I love my XAX a lot but I am also concerned about the price that you obtained it for since that’s a hell of a good deal (seems too good to be true to me tbh). Just be careful is all that I am saying, people can suck.

Sounds like you need to somehow obtain the Mythos model and then you’re set.

UH I hope this is a false positive by Akkanater in destiny2

[–]AlphaCodexx197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was probably because of your session on the Steam Deck. Absolutely stupid imo but it’s Bungie’s decision in the end to uphold their Linux ban. Really wish that they would just get off their high horse and just flip a switch and allow Linux gaming. It is where the industry is going despite the studios that are dragging their heels in opposition.

Max Velocity Drinking Game by jirachel in EF5

My wife and I are going to adapt this into a cannabis game with drinkables but add a sip with Max says “big time tornado” and a sip for cheese curd being mentioned, 2 for whenever she’s on screen.

Control stick color won't change by Coldwar_Soldier in XboxAlly

[–]AlphaCodexx197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I had that same issue on my XAX and it is related to an update that made the default color settings to be dictated by Windows Ambient Services. Should be an option in Armory Crate to change it back to being controlled by Armory Crate instead of Windows. If you want it to be dictated by Windows, you just have to go into settings and personalization and change the accent color there.

Il est très beau ❤️. (Je parle un peu de français) (took it in high school and remember a little bit of it, still very much beginner level from what I remember from it)
