I actually recently got an ROG Ally cause I have prepaid GamePass and felt I was just watching TV instead of playing. I felt so guilty wasting my subscription and watching good games come and go. But once I got the Ally, I've been playing more than I ever been since I was a kid. Even when the wife is watching her shows I can just chill with her playing games.
I didn't even think about how you can "spend" time with others using handhelds. I like this idea :)
It's pretty sweet, ngl
Or my S.O can be playing on our playstation, while I'm playing our switch. Both of our gaming has significantly changed (decreased) with age, but the switch really helped us get back into it... it was a convenience thing. Now I've been eyeing the steamdeck, cause that's what I've honestly been wanting, but didn't known it was so viable. I'll always love gaming, but there's certainly been adjustments to time constraints. Now, gaming seems to be adjusting as well, to the changes in life experiences. I'm all for it
@echoplex21 @zecg That's been my experience with my Steam Deck as well. Before buying it I had beaten three games in my life. Since buying it I've beaten five more... And ive not even had it for a year yet.
Handheld gaming PCs are fantastic to get back into gaming.
