I’m really looking forward to it. I live in a smallish apartment and am a Mac user. I just don’t have space for a gaming PC. I have PS5 and XSX for AAA games but there are often indies and smaller games that don’t make any of those platforms and this seems perfect for that. I’m also a Genshin Impact addict and Ally can play it whereas Steam Deck can’t without installing Windows.

The first was one so good, I am very excited for this.

Wasn’t looking to start a platform war here folks, just was curious if others were getting the ROG. If you’re not interested that’s cool, Steam Deck is great if it meets your needs! I especially prefer the symmetric sticks as a primarily PS5 user. It just doesn’t support some of my games and devices like the Ayaneo were too expensive.

I’m mostly looking for people who were crazy like me and took a shot with the Ally.

As I’ve mentioned above, some games, two in particular, do not and cannot run on Steam Deck without installing Windows on it due to anticheat software, so from that perspective it will not meet my needs as capably as a Windows first device. I know the Steam Deck is good hardware.

It’s not about the specs for me, if one the games I play isn’t compatible without jumping through hoops on Steam Deck, it’s a big downside. I’m familiar enough with ASUS and technical enough that I should be able to handle it unless it’s a hardware failure.

I like all version of the Nerdles, playing mostly the Classic, Bi, Mini, and Mini Bi. Though they recently added the Crossnerdle and that might be my favorite. You can also make your own Pro Nerdle and send them to your friends with way more operators to choose from!
