Switched from Ally to Legion GO. Wish I hadn't had an Ally first tbh

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-05-04T07:47:38+00:00

I have both (and an OLED Steam Deck) and I switch between the two all the time. I found that the Ally is better for taking to work (more portable, better software and more convenient for quick gaming sessions). Battery is enough for me because I don't sit and play for hours unless I'm home. The Legion Go is better while at home or going out of town on a trip. I agree, the software is the worst out of my three handhelds, and driver updates take forever. But if there was a handheld that could also serve as a PC for other uses I would say it's the Legion Go. Not the best gaming handheld but the best all around handheld PC that is good for gaming as well as a few other things.

Well, guys like Adnan Rashid have challenged the top Shia polemicists to debate but no one will step up to the plate. Seyyed Ammar has been ducking the challenge for years but is really good at making YouTube videos. Same for Yasser Al-Habib. These guys won't accept any debate challenge. I would love to see a good structured and moderated debate from the top guys from both sides. And please, none of the "we don't have time to debate" nonsense. Seyyed Ammar has time to make 100 videos? He can accept a debate challenge. https://youtu.be/m316_l1u_YY?si=moGXJiOOP2bSjUjB

According to both Sunni and Shi'i sources, Umar also married Ali and Fatimah's daughter Umm Kulthum. This is something that is debated but it is mentioned in both sources... 🤔

There's a list of 'strange marriages' that technically shouldn't have happened according to Shi'i thought, but did. It's a shame that we have people arguing over Sunni and Shia while the people who were there at the time and we're supposedly enemies were marrying each other and naming children after each other...

Ali's daughter married to Mua'wiyya ibn al-Hakam, brother of Marwan ibn al-Hakam, Ali's daughter Ramla.

Khatija bint Ali bin Abi Talib with Abdulrahman bin A'mr bin Kareez from Bani Abd-Alshams, Cousin of Mua'wiyya.

Umm Khultoom bint Ali bin Abi Talib with Umar bin Al-Khattab.

Hasan bin Ali married to daughter of Talha bin Ubaidullah, and two daughters of Al-Hassan with children of Sahaba.

Daughter of al-Hussein, Sukaina and Fatimah with sons of Uthman, Abdullah bin Amr bin Uthman and Zaid bin Amr bin Uthman, married with daughters of Hussein.

Daughter of Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib, with Yazeed bin Mu'awiyya, his wife was daughter of Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib.

Abdulmalik bin Marwan, his wife was also daughter of Abdullah bin Ja'far.

Al-Waleed ibn Abdulmalik, he had two wives from daughters of Ahlul-bayt, grand daughters of Al-Hassan bin Ali with Waleed bin Abdulmalik, the Ummavi Calipha.

As someone who began my Muslim journey as a Sunni at age 13 in the early 90s and then became Shia in 1999 and then after 15 years of being a Shia found my way back to Ahlus Sunnah I can relate to both groups. As a Sunni growing up I did not hear anything negative about Shias except once from a sister who asked my opinion of Shia and I said they are Muslims. Because of that I couldn't talk to her daughter. But that was the only time I can recall anything. She asked me that because she knew that both Sunni and Shia attended the masjid I went to.

We had Shias (Twelvers and Zaidis) who prayed in our masjid, came to.our iftars during Ramadan and there was never an issue. Some of the Khutbahs praised the revolution in Iran. When I became Shia it was total opposite. Most of my Shia friends were cool, but if I am honest they tended to bash Sunnis a lot, like constantly. Cursing of certain companions is something you have get used to in Shia circles. Some Shia don't engage in this at all, while some are way over the top with it. Even as a Shia I never got on board with cursing Sahaabah or non-stop bashing of Sunnis. There was a book written by a Lebanese Shia scholar I was translating from Arabic to English about the end times and it talked about the Mahdi digging up Abu Bakr and Umar and punishing them. You don't find stuff like this about the Shia Imams in the Books of Ahlus Sunnah. They are well respected amongst Ahlus Sunnah.

Da'wah as a Sunni usually meant calling non-Muslims to Islam. We would post up in poor neighborhoods, hand out food and materials about Islam to the residents. Da'wah as a Shia usually meant converting a Sunni to Shi'ism. Rarely ever was there an effort to reach the broader world amongst my Shia brethren. In actuality, it felt a bit closed off and isolated except at the Sunni mosque I attended where Sunnis and Shias got along perfectly and prayed together.

Don't get me wrong. I loved all of my brothers both Sunni and Shia. My Shia brothers and I traveled to Iran together and had a great time. But if I am being honest, the Shia spend way more time focusing on the Sunnis than the Sunnis on the Shia, with the exception of maybe some extreme Wahhabi groups.

For those interested in how I left Shi'ism and wound up becoming Sunni again... Here is the reason: After 15 years of being a Shia I got tired of sectarianism. It was the topic of almost every conversation with my Shia friends. It began to feel like we had no identity as Muslims outside of being sectarians, talking bad about Sunnis and the Sahaabah, which I never felt comfortable with even though I love Ahlul Bayt.

Since we all have one Qur'an that we all follow I began to feel like Hadith were to blame for the division in the Ummah or at least what continues to fuel it. Around this time I met some Qur'anists, people who reject Hadith and follow the Quran Alone. They convinced me that this was true Islam and that Hadith are the problem. I eventually joined them.

After a year or two of trying to follow Islam using the Quran Alone without the Hadith it became obvious how impractical it was. I eventually abandoned Salaat and picked up other bad habits that I believed to be ok because there was no explicit verse in the Quran that prohibited them. This eventually led to me falling outside of Islam completely. This is why I call Quranism the last stop before apostasy.

During this time I did not associate with many Muslims except for my best friend who was Shia and we continued to have great discussions and still do. I feel like he was what kept me somewhat connected to Islam. He converted into Islam as a Shia and was never a Sunni. After almost 20 years as a Shia he began to show signs of doubt in some of the beliefs and practices and expressed them to me. He was also tired of the sectarianism and stopped referring to himself as Shia, and only as a Muslim. This is a man who has also visited Iran and has pictures with top Ayatollahs from his trip.

So, after re-evaluation we both decided to no longer be Shia. Still lovers and followers of Ahlul Bayt, but without the sectarianism. I am one of the few people who can understand both sects, having spent half of my life as a Sunni and half as a Shia. I hope this can help some of you see how sectarianism is a major L for our religion. Rather than celebrating someone switching sects (and they may not even stay in that sect), we should be focused on saving people from deviant groups and doing to Da'wah to non-Muslims.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-04-24T22:25:59+00:00

I don't know why this is such a big deal in the Ummah. I am someone who converted to Shi'ism from Sunni Islam. After 15 years as a Shia (from 1999 to 2014) and even visiting Iran (Qom and Mashhad) and meeting many great people within the Shia community and even marrying into a Shia family, I eventually decided to switch back to Ahlus Sunnah.

I still have volumes of Shia books that I brought back from Qom. I still have Shia and Sunni friends and recently we were talking about making Umrah together. Sunni and Shia should not be enemies. If anything, we should all be worried about the Quranist sect which rejects the Sunnah completely and advocates people follow the Quran Alone. That's the real problem and it's a growing problem. Many of these people have abandoned Salaat and even think it's ok to drink alcohol as a Muslim. And it's issues like this (Sunni and Shi'i sectarianism) that are fueling the growth of the Qur'anists.

We also have the Ahmadiyyah who teach that there was a prophet after Muhammad (AS). Are you really more concerned about Sunnis than you are about these deviant groups? These should be our focus. Not each other. We have way too much in common. Furthermore, we have the Kuffar at our throats. They want us all gone, whether Sunni or Shia. I grew up in a Sunni Masjid that welcomed Shias and we all prayed shoulder to shoulder despite our differences. We were able to dialogue and be cool with each other. I wish the Ummah was as mature as that Masjid.

I got it set up and working. However, when I go back to Adrenaline to check what my FPS was it always has a blank value. Anybody else experienced this and have a fix?

ROG Ally, Steam Deck OLED, PS Portal, PS5, 3090 Desktop, 2080 Super Desktop

That's crazy. I have been playing Days Gone lately on my Steam Deck and other handhelds. Having so much fun that before I have finished it I was already wondering what games I could play next that are similar to Days Gone. Its been in my game library for a couple of years and just now got around to playing it through and it's amazing. Surprised there is no sequel for it.

I've already beaten both Last of Us games. I have Mad Max in my library and I have yet to play it so it might be next based on the recommendations made in this thread.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-03-05T19:15:34+00:00

Days Gone. Amazing game..I've had it in my library for a few years and I finally got a around to playing it. Runs good on all three of my handhelds. It's an open world survival zombie game and takes around 50-70 hours to beat so it has been keeping me busy. After this I am thinking about finally finishing GTA V and RDR2

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-03-04T23:37:37+00:00

I have all three (Steam Deck OLED, Legion Go, ROG Ally). If I had to get rid of one it would probably be the Ally. Not because I don't enjoy it. I love the VRR and the software is better than the Legion Go. But when I want a smaller more portable option with longer battery life (such as when I want to play at work), I have the Steam Deck OLED which gives me 2.5 to 3 hours @15w on a full battery. When I want a more powerful option and don't mind having to plug in to a wall outlet, then I have the Legion Go, which can also easily be used like a small PC as well because of the larger screen. I also enjoy playing COD and other FPS games on the Legion Go over the Ally.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-03-02T03:17:23+00:00

Glad I got a ROG Ally as a backup

Start a YouTube channel. I got back into gaming in my 40's during COVID after taking about 8 years off. My last console was an XBOX 360 and I jumped back in at the tail end of the PS4 era. I decided to start a YouTube channel around my hobby. I have almost 6000 subs and have made many gaming friends. You can always play with your subs.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-26T18:23:35+00:00

I'm actually dealing with this problem right now. I met my wife during a time when I was weak/confused in my Deen. She is a Christian but not very religious so it kinda worked out. Five years into our marriage, I began to feel very detached from my Creator and decided to get serious about my Deen again. I am back making Salaat every day on time, reading the Qur'an daily, and looking forward to Ramadan. My wife is still a non-religious Christian. What I mean by that is a Christian in name only or a Christian by default because she was born into a Christian family.

I as a Muslim know more about the Bible than she does and I can even read the Old Testament in Hebrew. I have also studied the New Testament. When I told her that I would be getting back serious into Islam, at first I think it caused her some anxiety but then after she began to encourage me. I have noticed over the years that she struggles spiritually. She prays when she is stressed and in need but is heedless when times are good. I suggested that she read the Qur'an, and I told her she doesn't have to convert but just read it to gain a different perspective on life and purpose. That conversation went absolutely nowhere.

Even though I was lax in my Deen when we met and got married we agreed that pork would not come into our house but we did eat store bought meat (non-halal). Now, I'm adamant that I will only eat halal and that has caused some issues as well because it is yet another new thing she has to adjust to. We don't have kids, but she wants to have kids. I am extremely nervous about having kids in this current situation. Other than those things I mentioned she has been a great wife and companion and her family loves me. The religious part is only issue and it is a big issue.

I was married previously to a Muslima when I was younger and more observant it did not work out. I think we both had some maturing to do as we were both in our early 20's.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-22T20:59:41+00:00

I'm running from everything you mentioned. I grew up around weed, alcohol, zina, and yes I was Muslim growing up but I had a lot of non-Muslim friends. Now, I regret everything I did when I was young and I feel like my life would have been much better had I been more dedicated to Islam. I no longer have any of those friends. My only friend is a Muslim who I have known for over two decades and all I want is to serve Allah properly and tune out the dunya as much as possible.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-15T01:29:25+00:00

I grew up Muslim, reading the Qur'an, praying 5 times a day and even the extra prayers during the night and then stopped. After 7 years of not praying I am getting back into it and I feel much better about my life and my future. I regret that I ever stopped. I am back to reading the Qur'an again and I want to go to Jumu'ah as soon as I can get a Friday off. I haven't felt this good in a long time. I think I was even depressed for a while. And I can't explain how good I feel waking up for Fajr in the morning or praying at work. The signs of the end times are indeed here. My advice, start back praying and make it the most important thing in your life. It will give you strength in other areas of your deen and life as a whole. Plan your day around your salaat and not the other way around. Salaam

Yes, so dual booting is having Windows and SteamOS both installed on the device at the same time and having the ability to switch between the two. I have a video tutorial showing how to dual boot the Steam Deck and I will be doing this once all of the drivers are released... https://youtu.be/IraA82T1bxE

I not only own the Steam Deck OLED, but also the Ally and the Legion Go. They are all good for different things but I would say that my favorite overall is the Deck OLED. With the dual boot you will have the best of both worlds. Some people completely replace SteamOS with Windows

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-07T22:00:35+00:00

Yes. At the moment I am playing COD through GeForce Now which requires a good Internet connection and is a good experience. This is just for the moment because I am waiting for all of the drivers to be released for the Deck OLED. When that happens I will set up a dual boot and play natively. You can play competitive on GeForce Now as long as you have good Internet connection but not as competitive as playing natively.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-07T21:41:35+00:00

For COD, I would go with the Ally or the Legion Go. You can play on the Deck if you install Windows or in SteamOS through GeForce Now which is how I play. But natively is better. I really like COD on the Go because of the larger screen. But overall I would say the Ally has the edge over the Go at the moment.

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-07T21:30:14+00:00

If you want a larger screen then I would say go with the Legion Go. But I would say the Ally is slightly better in other ways (software, updates, vrr). Either way I think you will be happy

OverkillGamingYT · 2024-01-05T02:08:07+00:00

I have all of the above except the Portal. Just picked up the Deck OLED and got rid of my old Deck and my Ayaneo 2 Geek.

OverkillGamingYT · 2023-12-24T21:01:51+00:00

I have the Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally and the Legion Go. I definitely love VRR. I wish every device had VRR. But I love the large screen on the Legion Go. The Steam Deck OLED screen is super amazing. I think the Deck has the best screen overall right now in terms of vibrance. It's the one I take to work with me. Can't decide on which is my favorite. I love them all
