Domination victory is literally one of the victoru conditions of Civ 6. You’re allowed to go full steamroll and go to war with everyone. Some of the civs are focused on going to war and expanding quickly through warfare like the Aztecs. Just don’t be surprised when you keep attacking other civs and the other players use the other diplomatic strategies to their advantage.
I’m Civ it’s also important to know how the other players perceive you and how to manipulate that perception to your advantage. Manufacture Casus Belli, poke and prod until others make the first attack and you “defend” yourself by taking their cities. You’ll be less of a warmonger.
Why would you go for these devices over a steam deck + emudeck? My steam deck is my powerhouse that plays all my Indies, sreams more demanding games from my gaming PC, has a massive retro library and works as a Plex media streamer for travel. It’s my dream all-in-one device. The only reason I could see to add this as well would be the form factor?
while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.
part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.
I love my ROG Ally, it’s amazing for a bunch of games, but I honestly don’t find it comfortable to play GBA or PS1 games for example, and the battery life is like 4 hours tops.
I recently got a Trimui Smart Pro and been playing GBA games on and off in between work meetings or when I go out. It fits on my pocket alongside my phone and the battery lasts like 6 hours depending on the system.
Different uses cases, and for $50 it’s honestly not a hard sell
I have a Deck, but unless I’m taking a backpack already for a longer trip, I’ll just pocket the Miyoo Mini or 6” Kobo ereader. Double if I’m heading somewhere shady
Interesting, ive been OK lugging my deck around but i mainly travel for work so it just goes in my daybag for train use/hotel use. And as i work from home mostly thats not daily - it gets most of its use around the house plugged into various chargers i have scattered by every casual seating spot…
Different strokes for different lifestyles i guess.
Pocketability is the biggest bonus for me. This doesn’t replace my Steam Deck, it supplements my gaming by making games available in situations where I can’t carry around a giant Deck.
The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄
Interesting, i love the size of the steam deck - its a positive for me not a con. Im tempted to check out one of the smaller ones for fun if the price is right, but i also love the ‘all in one’ solution (so i dont have to sync game saves between devices etc) My 5yo daugher got heavily into Mario Odysee too! We have a switch so we let her on it, but had to wind back game time as she got a bit too obsessed. She went from being barely able to jump on boxes (as jump + move at the same time was hard) and like 3 weeks later she bet the basic game, and now is nearly 400 moons… She keeps asking me for help finding them and im like ‘kid, you surpassed my knowledge of the game a month back’
My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.
The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.
I like Anno 2070, a game which takes place in a world where the sea levels have risen to a barely-sustainable level. But it’s okay, because you can repopulate with the power of solarpunk machinery!
Dave the Diver has a very good early game, but eventually the grind just became needlessly tedious in my opinion. I liked going down and getting the fish etc. but the grind in mid to late game is just very time-skip heavy
Also on a side note, one of the coolest milsim/tactic shooters in recent years is also on sale: Insurgency Sandstorm. It even gets a big map/weapons update next week.
