poo poo, did you? poo poo man. did you get advanced placement? have you ever applied to MENSA, they need people like that. Why are you wasting time on this dead gay forum when you could be working out cold fusion

or are all brits like that? that must be amazing. Imagine an entire country of people who don't need tactile feedback to determine two objects are different from one another. How have you not conquered the world yet?

brits lost their special privilege for pretending they're smarter than americans, whether about politics & other real poo poo or stupid buttons on stupid video game consoles, in 2016 and I'm not about to let you forget it.

vv not adding more replies over this but I am simply sick of the "lol americans are so stupid because their thing different from our thing" poo poo. And if somebody doesn't respond a bit aggressively to the endless low-level toxicity why would it ever stop.

I’d be pissed if it was 12:30 and Alexa was like “ding, package!” because my wife is so paranoid she would make me get up and go get the mail right then and there. Which reminds me I have to go take out the garbage now. (10 pm, should have done it hours ago but was playing magic with the kids. )

Hmmm tempted to sell my Odin and get an Odin 2 instead, if only because it looks like they fixed the biggest problem with the first one: The placement of the start and select buttons.

I miss my RGB 10 Max 2 which died a while back. Was thinking of the RG505 after the recent re-review video which pointed out that it's on discount these days. Anyone have one and can say if it's easy to pair bluetooth headphones? Anyone running the GammaOS on their 505?

Yeah, I was pretty annoyed because the dog woke me up to tell me some poor bastard was dropping off a package.

So I picked up a Retroid Pocket 3+ and I'm reasonably happy with it but the screen size is just a hair too small, especially considering I play a lot of 4:3 stuff. The select/start button placement is just loving bizarre and annoying to deal with. I previously had a Steam Deck which I returned because it was super bulky and the battery life wasn't good.

I'm looking for something sort of in between that. I want to emulate up to the PS1 era but if it could do more then hey that's a bonus. Ideally I want something with a screen size a bit bigger than the RP3+, maybe 6"? Reasonable battery life and ergonomics, the Steam Deck is really uncomfortable to use for more than 20 minutes IMO.

Can anyone recommend something? The options are sort of overwhelming, there are so many of these things. I had a look at the Odin 1 Pro which seems OK but a lot of people seem to indicate it would be better to wait for the Odin 2 or go for something like the Pocket Air or whatever.

What happened to that handheld with detachable controllers on 2 sides, did it come out?

The X55 is 100% what you're after if you don't plan on going above PS1.

The Pimax Portal? Yeah it did, no-one noticed or cared just like with everything Pimax does. They've also only put out the handheld, the VR headset it's supposed to go with isn't out yet.

I was setting up a card for my miyoo mini plus last night in preparation for its arrival, and I broke out my RG351V for the first time in a while and updated it to the newest version of AmberELEC and then spent several hours playing with it.

It's still a really great system and just feels really nice / solid in a way some of these things don't.

It came in and yeah this thing's pretty nice. The photo on the website I bought it off didn't show the console logo printed on it though.

Isn't the AES-101 the one with the really disappointing screen light and the AES-110 is the one people actually want for the much brighter screen?

OK then, clearly something I half remembered because the AES-110 is apparently an XLR cable.

I only feel motivated to play handheld games on mine so I don’t really need a powerful one. But for whatever reason I always upgrade and play the same games my previous one played just fine. It’s a disease

Gotta load up at least one game from every system to test that they work also. Then put it back on the shelf, satisfied.

Personally I like that I have good options/combinations for any trip/flight I might be taking.
Flying out west next month? Probably the Odin, maybe the hacked 3DS. Flying to Prague in Nov? Steam Deck + Miyoo Mini Plus.
Common thread? Sleeping on the flights and not using the console(s).

There's nothing more timeless than maximally planning for a flight, loading devices up with content and then sleeping the whole flight.
