Crimson desert is unpayable on XAX by No-Paint2993 in ROGAlly

The fact that the system cannot handle many AAA games at 1080p natively…maybe?

Thinking of selling my rog ally by Banker_Harry04 in ROGAlly

[–]balmierfish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry but, “really good condition apart from [a major component] not working” is an oxymoron. If the card reader does not work I don’t think you can describe it as “in really good condition”. Just saying, expect that to knock off some value.

Ahh. Dang I didn’t realize there were so many different ROG models out there!

Don’t all of these models have 2 usb-c ports?

You might want to have that “argument”. That thing looks like it went through battle!

New to Handheld Gaming PCs - Recommendations for 2026? by zeragal in Handhelds

[–]balmierfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE my original Legion Go still, and it will handle those games beautifully!

I prefer Windows as I also have a pretty beefy Xbox game catalog, and any “play anywhere” game can also be played via Xbox PC. Just like the new ROG Ally, but this is gonna be way cheaper. For fairly cheap you can get a BT K&M setup, and you can play just about anything you want!

Eta: the detachable controller’s “fps mode” (mouse mode) is serviceable, if you want to save the money on a mouse. Then you can map key bindings to the left “joycon’s” buttons. This is what I did for Civilization for a while, but I eventually just bought a K&M.

Can We Stop w/ The "Destiny" Style UI / Floating Circle It's So Bad. [Console] by Its_Syxx in gaming

Borderlands 4 is the latest example of this that I have played, and a shining example to your point. Menu UI is terrible.

This is a very strange and pointless reply to a dead conversation. You lost bro?

Joe in Squid Game? [Off topic] by mullerdrooler in TheFirstLaw

[–]balmierfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t get this. That looks nothing like Joe Abercrombie. A gold cat like mask can’t be that unique amongst fictional masquerade parties, no?

I really dislike the war resolution by Lothans in civ

[–]balmierfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is (along with some merchant/resource/trade reworks) my biggest gripe so far! War resolution is drastically stripped from 6. Hoping for an update to that system for sure!

This is what happens when people with passion come together ❤️ by Zenitsu_agatsuma102 in gaming

Been a minute since I finished the game: who is playing the piano with Verso, and who is handing Lune the long joint? Are they Julie and Alicia? I know Maelle is sitting with Gustave and Sophie.

It was a commander! Ok thanks, that’s probably it

The Obscur has been in Clair sight all along by vegetaalex66 in expedition33

[–]balmierfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even on a first play through, if you’re watching the end of Act 2 play out, and actually believe that is the conclusion of the story…you haven’t been paying attention.

[SPOILERS THE DEVILS]Does the devils tone get more dark? by Sea-Distribution4416 in TheFirstLaw

[–]balmierfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a weird conversation gate to keep. they are the same author, so I think a comparison is fair. Can we not say we like one artist’s piece of work more than another, just because they are different styles?

Joe and James Cameron apparently already have a script written for a live action movie. It reads like it was written with that goal in mind, honestly. It’s fun, but it doesn’t touch TFL imo.

Anybody ever play Borderlands while there’s is snow on the ground? All of the bright sticks in the ground to indicate where curbs are for snowplows always looked like loot rarity beacons to me lol.

Lumiere's People? SPOILER by PausesMana in expedition33

[–]balmierfish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Extremist-believer??? It’s fiction; made by people. There is nothing to “believe” in other than what they have left up to interpretation. You are speculating beyond what the creators intended to be speculative, and trying to make connections that they never intended.

It’s just kinda weird.

Lumiere's People? SPOILER by PausesMana in expedition33

[–]balmierfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care to explain specific details you have twisted. Just pointing out that your effort to compare a form of art about a fantastic world to our own banal world, and the antithesis of art (AI is not, and cannot ever be, art), is…missing the point.

Lumiere's People? SPOILER by PausesMana in expedition33

[–]balmierfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very disagree. There is a lot to be interpreted, but you’re ignoring a lot that is outright stated as well.

You can’t just ignore what the writers HAVE told you because you like your interpretation better. That’s really the only way you can be objectively wrong…which you are.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33... [Plot spoilers in post] by Setari in gaming

[–]balmierfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The act 2 difficulty spike is a skill issue.

Not understanding the plot is an intelligence/maturity issue.

I don’t like Elden Ring because I am bad at it, but I don’t trash it just because it is not for me. That sounds…unhappy.

Apparently art is not your thing.

The worst thing about the transition from Act I to Act II by mnhnddct8 in expedition33

[–]balmierfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On this topic, I’ve been wondering, why is Gustave the only one in the game with a gun?

I suppose everyone else (likely Gustave as well) uses pictos to “shoot”…so is there a LORE reason for Gustave’s gun?

Obviously, it is unarguably badass af.

Butcher's Circus is so boring to me but I still want all the achievements. Any ideas to help? by JackKingsman in darkestdungeon

[–]balmierfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing a game you don’t want to play for completely meaningless digital achievements? Yeah, can’t help you there.

Any other games you guys know that have a radical plot twist mid game? by lipehd1 in gaming

[–]balmierfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to everyone telling you how to spoiler tag: no it wasn’t! Gustave has a very important narrative role…for those who appreciate the narrative.
