ASUS ROG Ally Updated Review (30 Days Later) (www.youtube.com)

Retro Game Corps has just posted a 30 day review of the Ally. As someone who has pre-ordered I found it quite interesting. As expected, the major down side to this device is the battery. Fortunately, my main reason for purchasing this is to do some gaming on my commute to work. As I'm only on the subway for 25 min, this should cover my needs perfectly, regardless of the game I play.

Yeah, I wish they would just simplify it and focus on what matters. Sync saves to the cloud, and let me install and launch my games. I don't need it to be some cross-service game launcher. I don't need social features. I just want my games ๐Ÿคฃ!

Personally I just download the exe files and install them. Means I won't automatically get patches though.

Hmm. That got me thinking. I've seen unofficial API documentation for GoG. Maybe it's possible to create a Telegram bot that lets me know when a game I own has a new version available ๐Ÿค”.

There's probably an RSS feed somewhere that can do that kind of thing.

Maybe that's the next target for the Fediverse, game distribution ๐Ÿ˜‚

Definitely something I'll be looking into when I have the time (the RSS thing, not the Fediverse game distribution thing ๐Ÿคฃ).
