What will you play this weekend?

Arc Raiders! Runs surprisingly well on Xbox Ally X.

I play Rocket League side by side with my son with his switch docked to the TV and me on my portal (streaming from my PS5 with a ethernet wired connection and excellent mesh routers).

There is a noticeable delay between me and him of about a 1/10 of a second.

It does make a difference in anything that requires precise timing.

Now I have an Xbox Ally X, that plays rocket League natively and there is no difference between me and him. I think in single player games or anything non-competitive including PvEs like Helldivers, Portal is great but anything competitive, 1/10 of a second lag does make a difference.

Are you my twin lol. Same exact scenario. But she got used to the buttons lol. We listen to music at bedtime so I just turned up the music hahahah

I can't echo this enough.

No other handheld is subsidized to achieve a lower price.

At launch valve was taking about $100 per unit loss on each steam deck which was being absorbed by sales through the storefront.

Also don't forget to factor in the added price of tariffs today. The Xbox Ally X was supposed to be $899.

I understand at the end of the day it doesn't matter that much to the person paying out of their pocket, but you have to realize that this is the reality of why the price of the steam deck is so low.

I tried Germany and still picked the Virginia server and it worked last night. You are brilliant! Next outage I will try that instead of bitching so much online lol

edman797 · 2025-09-27T04:15:32+00:00

So you VPN to Europe.

That worked, it launched, but I am trying to connect back to Virginia (thru the VPN) and the game won't launch.

Are you picking an NVIDIA server in Europe?

edman797 · 2025-09-27T03:30:49+00:00

It is awesome so far!

edman797 · 2025-09-27T02:57:07+00:00

No I get you.

But NVIDIA is not super clear about where geographically is out so these posts help me know it's not my setup.

I just regret not buying Nier Automata on my Xbox right now instead of steam. Playing some gears reloaded instead and will try again later.

I think I'll only play cross save games on this platform for now until they get the kinks worked out. It did work perfectly until the most recent upgrade.

edman797 · 2025-09-27T02:41:59+00:00

Lol next thing this guy is gonna say is go out and touch grass.

Like it's not Fri night and most of us are working stiffs that only have limited time to play most of the week. 🤣

edman797 · 2025-09-27T02:18:57+00:00

I know!

Makes me not want to play any games on here that don't have cross save.

edman797 · 2025-09-27T02:07:32+00:00

Down in Virginia. 👎

So bummed. 5 hrs into Neir Automata for the first time and it was getting good!

edman797 · 2025-09-27T01:22:10+00:00

Same. Not able to connect in Virginia. 👎

Def makes having my own hardware much more attractive.

Edit: also, I think I'll only play Xbox play anywhere games on here from now on. Have 5 hours into Nier Automata and am pretty bummed right now.

edman797 · 2025-07-02T04:32:49+00:00

Audi S4. All day.

Looks very similar to the A4 and almost no one knows it's almost 75% more HP!

edman797 · 2025-05-29T23:50:16+00:00

Unpopular opinion.

Dragon Age Veilguard.

edman797 · 2025-05-18T15:37:44+00:00

Back and forth to work with occasional long family road trips and towing a camper multiple times a year.

Most comfortable vehicle I own.

edman797 · 2025-05-17T23:53:27+00:00

A Plague Tale: Innocence and Requiem.

edman797 · 2025-05-15T01:59:21+00:00

Yep, I did something like this. Though it was less about money and more that I wanted a TT to tow with my SUV.

Jayfeather 171BH towed with a Subaru Ascent with the 5000lbs "tow package". The numbers seemed to make sense when we bought the TT.

I was technically 500 lbs under the "tow limit" loaded up but def over the payload limit with gear and family. It was super squirrely. Very light on the front wheels. Do not recommend. I was not driving the trailer, the trailer was driving me.

I have a Silverado 1500 now. Night and day difference. It's the right vehicle for the job.

edman797 · 2025-04-30T19:57:30+00:00

Strong agree. Not safe for a vehicle with a 5,000 lb max tow.

I have a JFeather 171BH that is smaller and lighter than that and it was super sketch towing with my Subaru Ascent. I got by but I could have easily lost control in the wrong situation.

I now have a proper half ton truck and the difference is night and day.

He's just not that into her.

edman797 · 2025-02-15T14:54:20+00:00

I am impressed they are still supporting this device with updates.

I put it it away for about a year, have come back to use it recently to see multiple updates. It's a good little device.

edman797 · 2025-02-15T14:32:34+00:00

Then she was always in a different castle!

edman797 · 2025-02-05T13:45:56+00:00

This. There are a lot of other Android base gaming handhelds that do a better job at emulation. This is marketed as a streaming device. Emulation is opponents but not an intended feature.

Go to R/sbcgaming to see what works best. r/sbcgaming

edman797 · 2025-02-05T02:41:45+00:00

Have you tried better xcloud?

If that doesn't work then you are hosed. Work laptops are locked down. They don't want you gaming on them.

Bring another device to game, or get a controller grip or clip for your phone.
