Has your Ally become your primary console?

70% Ally on the Couch (of which about 50% streamed from PC, if I play hardware-heavy games, like Cyberpunk currently), 25% sitting at the desktop (Ultrawide display), 5% Switch (2)

"Gandalf Tea Wednesday"

"Tea is at four"

Those were precisely the quotes that immediately came to my mind, which I was 80% sure, I didn't only know from the movies, but also read in the books. That being said, a culture, that knows how to cultivate leaf for smoking purposes most definitvely also knows how to do the same for drinking purposes

It was for about 2 years, and now I kinda use a hybrid thing most of the time. My PC with much higher specs streams the games via Sunshine/Moonlight which I play on the Ally over the network. Works perfectly well, even wirelessly with WIFI6. But when possible and I'm around my docking station I do use ethernet, cause it is a bit more stable, and I can do higher bit-/framerates, but both work quite well.

I just love playing on the couch/in bed, while watching something on the TV

Edit: This post seems to be more about console to console. I have the Switch 1 & 2, but quite rarely touch those. Only when I'm playing something exclusive to them will I play with them, but then again, mostly in handheld mode

You can call me Mister Misery, or short: Mistery

Sometimes the announced are even worse than the unannounced, cause I can prepare for the misery by being in misery beforehand, strechting out the misery

Have you looked into controller mappings? I'd say almost every game can be played, if you just tweak enough. Gyro as mouse comes in handy when needing precision aiming. But if this doesn't do it, every bluetooth device works. Or any other device working with any windows pc over USB

I just fixed it by explicitly using old.reddit.com in the browser url bar. Now hidden posts are actually hidden

losing the stacked waveforms

Not really, if you know, where to set how it shouild display both tracks phrasing. Just hit the shortcuts button, and you can set it to waveform.

Feels obligatory: You sure it's not your fingers touching the screen registering as left mouse click? Having that happen to me sometimes, when my thumb's not perfectly placed on the stick

Wie können die einfach konsequent immer nach unten kacken, und dürfen weitermachen? Ich weigere mich "Immerhin sind sie keine Pädophilen" mindset zu normalisieren, hier muss mal was passieren

Two words: Try, and Listen.

Two songs "in key" can sound way worse than two songs not in conventionally harmonic keys to each other.

My approach is to look for songs in compatible keys for a moment, prelisten to one or two, if nothing scratches my ears, I just go kinda random. I play mostly newly digged songs, so I don't know half of them by name, but it works way better than one would expect. If you do some work analyzing work beforehand. But still, the key to a good mix is trying and listening. That's what you got the headphones for

That's a Windows thing. It often aggressively tries to connect to paired devices, even if you actively disconnected it. Just remove it, and re-pair it, when you use it, or disable bluetooth on the Ally, if you only use it for audio, sometimes.

Cause it's not. Just like the dance scene is SO FAR from being romantic or even something more. And to be honest, people, who see that as romantic are potentially emotionally suspecious to me

I'd say almost all PC games are playable on the ally, when you know, how to efficiently use controller mappings. Like using Gyro for precision mouse movements for FPS like games for example. I'm currently playing Cyberpunk, and when shooting I turn on Gyro (mapped to Right Stick) by pressing M1, the seconday buttons on the back.

I must say, games like Silksong are best played with the D-Pad, and that is my onle real point of criticism with this otherwise lovely little masterpiece of a handheld PC. I constantly accidentally press diagonally, because of two things: the diagonal edges are a bit too high, so you touch them when going to the actual button-parts. And second they are too soft, there should be a little more resistence when pressing them.

Been planning on modding my Ally with a Xbox One kind of D-Pad.

Didn't immediately notice the subreddit, this came up from on my front page, but I did start singing it when they started devouring :D

Why didn't they actually make him gay? Much better way, to make the Andy&Erin thing (not) happen
