  • it’s kind of funny to me but as growing up I was all about Nintendo, as I got into my later teens and early adulthood I was all PC and steam, I’m 35 now with the family tons of responsibility obligations but I’ve noticed as I get older I’ve been gravitating closer back to Nintendo and their dependability for good quality gaming and time well spent, I guess because my time is such a high premium, I stick to the games I know that are going to deliver.











  • The Rog Ally is going to be able to play just about anything with a decent framerate, the real issue is the controls.

    When it comes to controls, the Ally is way more complicated to get setup that the Steam Deck. Here’s an example…

    I really wanted to play BattleBit on my Ally, it’s mechanically deep Battlefield-esque game built with mouse and keyboard in mind with many, many controls.

    The first issue is that the Rog Ally doesn’t natively support the gyro it has, so I needed to install Handheld Companion to be able to access it, which required paying a Patreon sub, and also installing third party drivers for the gyro.

    Handheld Companion is another control interface i have to configure, in addition to the armory crate controller interface because Steam doesn’t recognize the rear buttons(the rog ally just broadcasts itself as a XB360 controller WITH NO XBOX BUTTON), then finally the steam input controller interface once I’m in game. It’s far more complicated/awkward than the deck.

    I was able to get a great control setup for the game and it’s awesome, but it took probably 6 hours of combined research and configuration.
