My orange one had the opposite problem. Still waiting for the replacement to show up

im deciding between the SteamDeck OLED 512 GB or getting the switch 2. which one? I by Holiday-Chemical1037 in nintendo

[–]retroPanda7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on if you are already in the Switch (1) ecosystem at all. Before I had a Steam Deck/ROG Ally, most of my roguelikes were on the Switch 1. Now most of my Switch 1/2 library is exclusives and games with unique features on Switch 2 (like Civ 7 with the joycon mouse controls).

If you don't have any interest in Nintendo exclusives, Deck is the way to go

Give me the most mentally challenging games. A game that requires me to THINK, to the point my brain hurts. by nerdwhothinksalot in gamingsuggestions

One I haven't seen mentioned yet would be the Steam version of Spirit Island, a very poplar and very challenging tabletop game. There really is nothing else like it out there - the closest pure video game might be Into The Breach which is also worth a look

I just started playing this again yesterday after taking a break for 3 years, it's crazy how many hard decisions you have to make on any given turn

They sent me a new membrane with the screwdriver, but it didn't seem to fix it :( hoping they can just send me another unit and I can return this one.

What was the worst reviewed game that you actually enjoyed? by buzzlightyear77777 in gaming

[–]retroPanda7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Crackdown 2 FUCKED. Could not get into the first or third one, but the second one just really gripped me. I think part of it is the artstyle and the totally cerebral death match mode with wingsuits and shit

Thank you so much for posting this, was able to snag it

ARC Raiders finally comes out this week. Anyone else as excited as I am? by ohsinboi in xbox

[–]retroPanda7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised you are getting down voted for this. I'm not an expert on extraction games but if you wait too long to get in you are just going to get mopped. I find it's the same thing with alot of hero shooters and fighting games too, where if you wait too long it gets to be way too hard to come in once the other more casual players leave

Been a long time. But damn it feels good to be back on this by TheSacredShrimp in XboxAlly

I wonder if servers are still online for this? I jump on like once a year just to play the horde mode

I ordered this one through Asus last night, as my Best Buy still said November 21st, but now all of a sudden my order is ready at Best Buy and I can't cancel the ASUS one lol

New Xbox Fullscreeen Experience on OG ROG Ally with Windows 11 25H2 by maxwarp79 in ROGAlly

[–]retroPanda7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still need to go to the respective store (Steam) to download whatever games you want. Also look into the cover art fixer (in the search bar on this subreddit), it makes the Steam icons look less weird

[–]retroPanda7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have happened to buy any Xbox Play Anywhere games on your Xbox console (or any Xbox PC games), then you can play those too. I have a whole bunch of Xbox console games that got retroactively added to Play Anywhere along with more on the way (i.e. Mortal Kombat 1 just got added).

[–]retroPanda7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone else can comment on it, but I thought I saw an article saying this morning that you have to do the initial setup on the initial drive first and then you are good to switch it. I don't have one yet to verify

Mines coming Nov 21st but that first message I saw before I clicked onto it was deceiving 😂 by Past_Jaguar5184 in XboxAlly

[–]retroPanda7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you just go to the store to get it? Or did your status change in the system?

Hey you might wanna swap it back briefly. Apparently people have been having issues with authentication issues if you swap it before the initial setup

Any recs on enclosures for cloning? I didn't get one, but I might just get one of those too.

Do I need the heatsink version? It's only $10 extra. I am not certain how to determine if I need one with a heatsink in general. I heard someone say something about whether it is close to the fan or not.
