The ROG Ally is finally in reviewer's hands and we're getting some clear comparisons with the Steam Deck. While the hardware seems impressive, Asus seems to be missing some of Valve's "special sauce" in the software department and Windows seems to let the side down.Steve is also back and shares some more of his experiences with Windows on the Deck over the last couple of weeks. Spoiler: it's not been great — which may explain the ROG Ally's issues too.Make sure to subscribe to our channel so you never miss a single episode of the Steam Deck Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkBCUho-tlL5IDx6YSd49rQ?sub_confirmation=1

Possibly the most hotly anticipated PC port of all time — The Last of Us Part 1 — finally got its release this week but with shader compilation issues, poor performance, textures not loading, and more you really should avoid it. But why did it release in this state and are the issues just on the Steam Deck?
Max and Steve also discuss the exciting prospect of the Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator coming to Steam complete with CLOUD SAVES! Will this be a trend moving forward?
Then we close out the show with some fantastic listener questions and Max shares some of his thoughts on the hot new game you should be playing instead of The Last of Us, Dredge.
