I bought this and played a little bit this morning. I didn’t get to play long, but I love watching the machines work and figuring out the manufacturing is really fun!
Nintendo has always had my favorite exclusives. My whole life, I’ve been guiding Mario, Link, and Kirby directly into pits hundreds of times a day. I just don’t think I can keep feeding Nintendos greed anymore and I’m a little sad that that part of my life might be over.
I had a good relationship with my dad, but he passed when I was 21. I’ve now been alive longer without a father than with one. He had major faults: racist, homophobic, and started going Baptist when he got cancer. If he had survived it, I think that downfall would have progressed and he’d be a fucking Maggot by now. I don’t think he’d get along well with his pansexual son, bisexual DIL and transgender grandkids. So, and this is not a good feeling, I’m a little appreciative of the fact the relationship ended when it was still good. But I’m haunted by what it would have been like if he survived. Like I said, we had a really good relationship. He taught me all kinds of outdoorsman skills, taught me how to keep family close, and how to honor my word. I don’t know if I could have handled if he survived and continued along that path.
My mom always lived for herself and was abusive. I still flinch when someone touches my face because she hit us so much. I cut ties on my wedding day almost 10 years ago and am much happier and healthier.
They both taught me how not to parent and as long as I keep in mind how their words and actions made me feel, I know how to be a good dad to my kids. I’m not going to say they did me a favor there, but I do rely on that lesson to guide me.
I have the ROG Ally with Bazzite. Now, keep in mind that I don’t run performance tests on hardware or anything like that. I’m just a gamer that works in IT.
Bazzite works just about flawlessly on the Ally. Every game I’ve tried has functioned very well and I have had exactly zero crashes. The only complaint I have is that I have to manually set the audio to route to my soundbar every time I reboot, which isn’t a huge deal to me.
With that said, if I had room on a regular credit card instead of just my BBuy one, I would have gotten the steam deck just because I don’t like white compute gear and the deck is the standard at this point.
Almost forgot to cancel Prime. Thanks for the reminder!
