In their defense ...that WAS the marketing. Even check their site. They mentioned PC gaming multiple times. The mismatch is the fact that they are operating under assumption everyone agrees and knows "Xbox" is now considered an ecosystem and not only a console. But reality is that's not the case

#XboxRogAllyX secured. Woman at best buy said 15 people came in at opening trying to buy but they were all dedicated to pre orders. Will be curious to see how this sells. #xbox #AsusROG

Good call out. Using AI sampled data looks like PS5 just passed PS4. Though given how much ground Xbox ceded it appears those aren't being converted en masse to PlayStation owners. But I think the point stands that PS2 is the highest Sony sold console even though gaming population has increased

PC Gamepass is still day and date and has a more modest price increase. I was going to go that path myself but Newegg still selling ultimate at $20 plus $5 coupon that I ended up just securing for another years worth. ($5 off per every 3 months so $20 off total).

The Halo 3 launch in NYC was one of my favorite video game memories of the midnight launch era. These photos were taken with the Palm 755p

And here is the current Rog Ally X again, with last gen chip. The rumored pricing of the Ally X has it at the same exact price.

I guess i'm not sure why you're mad at the rumored pricing? This is the current ROG ally you can buy with last gen's chip and all other specs even with the base Xbox Ally.

Answering my own question here. If you look at the prompt, you can either just switch to fullscreen, or for full optimizations, restart handheld into fullscreen experience:

There are some new things baked in there like the task switcher (image) so its not exactly like the xbox app experience you have today. But I think: yes, with some new features, is the answer.

Current "leak" but seems they were supposed to announce price today, then decided not to (probably tariff related)

First road trip with the R1S. For all the things I hate about Elon, my hate didn't extend to my Model Y which has been a great car for my family and I never thought about my charging experience on SC network. Good to see Rivian has been just as seamless so far. #Rivian

not excusing it but how the question probably should be framed ultimately.

Look i hate Tesla, but thats not true. ICE cars catch fire at a much higher rate than Tesla. Its just Tesla incidents remain high profile in in the new.

Grew up playing video games and watching my son very rapidly start understanding hand eye coordination with some games we played has been fun. But today? To see him in a matter of minutes understand how a mouse interacts with a screen in Valorant at age 3? Proud papa.

My bigger point is people died at a higher rate generally in lower lockdown states. Do I think some were too strict? Maybe but NYC for example being as dense as it was, I can't imagine just returning to life as usually before at minimum a vaccine option.

All due respect that's not accurate. Nearly every state issued stay at home orders at the beginning (yes even Florida).
If there was population density those orders saved lives. Economy was kept afloat by government assistance during this time.

Same thought, though a trackball can work as well. I recently got a Polycade and they sell trackball module and I'm looking for an excuse to buy one lol.
