I'm about to get on a plane and will be gone for a couple weeks, but didn't want to leave you Breaking Changeless so I did the thing where I stand up in front of a microphone and talked at you. Again. Like I do. Fun fact: this is the first and only time I've taken a phone call live, on-air! I was just too lazy to edit that out gracefully. Whenever I go to Japan solo, I experience moments of loneliness, so I'd really appreciate it if you sent me some praise or complaints or ideas to podcast@searls.co and I'll feel comforted by the knowledge that you exist. Your engagement sustains me.

MY ANIME WATCHLIST GHOST OF YOTEI SO FAR A NEW DRAGONBALL GAME INCOMING ROG XBOX ALLY X DOA CREATOR DIES ARC RAIDERS BETA
De 'Asus ROG Xbox Ally X' is een hele mond vol, maar als je de naam eenmaal kan uitspreken, praat je over de allereerste gaminghandheld van Xbox. Dat klinkt spannend en als een grote stap voor Microsoft, maar eigenlijk zie je de invloed van Xbox alleen terug in de handgrepen en het speciale Xbox-knopje dat op het apparaat is geplakt. Verder geldt de Asus ROG Xbox Ally X vooral als opvolger van de Asus ROG Ally X. Niels Kooloos bespreekt het apparaat met Nina van den Dungen en Bas van Werven in deze Schaal van Hebben. De handheld is in opmars, vooral met dank aan Nintendo die in 2017 met de Nintendo Switch op de proppen kwam. Ondertussen geldt de opvolger, de Switch 2, als de snelst verkochte spelcomputer ooit, maar dat weerhoudt andere game-bedrijven er niet van met pogingen om marktaandeel weg te snoepen. Asus doet dat al een aantal jaar met de Ally-serie, waarvan de Asus ROG Xbox Ally X als laatste wapenfeit geldt. Xbox zit duidelijk in de naam en nog duidelijker in alle marketing, maar toch kan je het apparaat geen échte Xbox-handheld noemen. Tuurlijk, je kan op de speciale Xbox-knop drukken om de Xbox-app te openen, waarmee je makkelijk al je favoriete games kan spelen, maar dat kan in principe op alle handhelds - mits die het Windows-besturingssysteem hebben dan. Daarom geldt de Asus ROG Xbox Ally X vooral als de volgende generatie Ally-handheld van Asus die toevallig in samenwerking met Xbox is ontwikkeld. Die heeft dan ook een krachtigere chip van AMD die ruim 30 procent meer vermogen levert, volgens Asus. Daar is niks over gelogen, want ook de zwaarste games draaien zonder problemen op de Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, terwijl de voorganger daar duidelijk meer moeite mee had. Wel heeft het apparaat nog altijd dezelfde problemen als andere handhelds: tijdens een flinke gamesessie wordt hij nogal warm, is de batterij binnen een uur of drie leeg, en blazen de ventilatoren hard om te koelen. Maar die problemen hebben alle handhelds dus, waardoor de Asus ROG Xbox Ally X toch één van de beste handhelds van dit moment is. Daar betaal je alleen wel wat voor: 899 euro. Voor de kleinere portemonnee is er nog de minder krachtige variant: de Asus ROG Xbox Ally (zonder de X dus), voor 599 euro. Alleen mis je dan wel de krachtigere chip, heb je minder werkgeheugen, en krijg je minder ruimte om games te downloaden waardoor alternatieven van de concurrentie een stuk aantrekkelijker worden. De Asus ROG Xbox Ally X en de Asus ROG Xbox Ally zijn sinds 16 oktober te koop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
