![]() It’s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. FableĪs the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. Oh, and there’s still that matter of the Vixen waiting to duel him. With only the help of his boisterous and lusty friend Bereto, a beautiful assassin whose target may well be Damelas himself, and a company of misfit actors who’d just as soon see him dead, this failed son of two Greatcoats must somehow find within himself the courage to dig up long-buried truths before a ruthless band of bravos known as the Iron Orchids come for his head. An archaic law provides a temporary respite from his troubles – until one night a ghostly voice in his head causes Damelas to fumble his lines, inadvertently blurting out a dreadful truth: the city’s most legendary hero may actually be a traitor and a brutal murderer. He has precious little hope of escaping the wrath of the Vixen, the most feared duellist in the entire city, until he stumbles through the stage doors of the magnificent Operato Belleza and tricks his way into the company of actors. Thanks to Mandy over at Devouring books for creating these amazing prompts! You should definitely go check her blog out because she posts some great content.ĭamelas Shademantaigne picked a poor night to flee a judicial duel. Have you got any future releases you’re hyped for? Let me know in the comments. I have ARC’s for a couple of these and am incredibly excited to dig in, others are 2021 releases that I am not so patiently waiting for. So when I saw this weeks prompt was hyped books, I decided to use it to spotlight some other books that I am dying to get my hands on. ![]() If it delivers the goods, I may have a new favorite handheld.I recently did a Top Ten Tuesday post where I talked about 2020 releases I was excited for but with only being able to pick 10 I had to leave sooo many off my list. Hopefully it launches sooner rather than later. I can't render a verdict until I've had extensive hands-on time with the Asus ROG Ally, but as things stand, it's the device I'm most eager to check out. If Asus' claims are true, we could get a handheld featuring a sharper display, longer battery life, and better performance than the Steam Deck. This could change if the Asus ROG Ally provides an overall better experience. Right now, it's the best handheld I've ever owned. I think that’s great, but I’ve ignored these machines since the Steam Deck currently satisfies my mobile gaming needs. There has been an explosion of gaming handhelds recently, with companies like Ayaneo and Logitech offering their own devices. The difference you can hear in the YouTube video is rather remarkable, and it suggests the ROG Ally really could be better than the Steam Deck in key ways. According to his testing, the Steam Deck's fans reached 37 decibels on load while the ROG Ally reaches 20 decibels. YouTuber Dave2D, who went hands-on with the ROG Ally, said he almost didn't hear the handheld's fans, even when playing graphically-demanding games. Generally speaking, battery life on these two devices ranges between two to seven hours, depending on what you're playing. ![]() If you travel with a Switch or Steam Deck, you know those devices don’t last for very long - especially Valve’s handheld. The promise of longer battery lifeīattery life has always been an issue for premium handhelds. Regardless, I appreciate that this option exists. Unfortunately, the mobile GPU’s steep $1,999 asking price is a huge barrier to entry. This aspect has me the most excited for what the ROG Ally is capable of when used with the XG Mobile. Connecting to this external GPU should give you all the ports you could need.Īnd of course, the XG Mobile should provide the ROG Ally with additional graphical processing power and improved performance thanks to the laptop RTX 4090 GPU the XG Mobile uses. The XG Mobile has an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, an Ethernet port, an SD card reader, three USB-C ports and a USB-C port. That’s somewhat disappointing, but if you pair the handheld with the XG Mobile, the lack of ports becomes a non-issue. Based on the ROG Ally's reveal trailer, it seems the device will only have a single USB-C port.
