This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.

Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.

In any case, money was involved.

I just can’t believe that the retro community has not latched onto some trademark moniker at this point to avoid any kind of legal trouble. Tendo? NTDO? I dunno, anything! lol

Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?

That’s unreal. The timelapse of the move is worth the click.

ETA: the Samsung car moving robots are kind of amazing. Goodbye valet jobs!

My top three favourites from the PS3 era would probably be Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and Journey.

I tried the in-store demo and was blown away, but even after that short period I wasn’t sold over how isolated the entire experience is. The day may never arrive, but I can wait until these fit on a regular pair of glasses.

My family used to put in hundreds of hours into Civilization 2 and once we were a little older we played Red Alert spending even more time building maps for ourselves to play. We could never figure out how to set up a LAN growing up, but it was a lot of fun all the same.

That’s promising. I’ll have to double check and see how I have mine configured.

Oh no, that’s my bad. I meant to write that as RP4P Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, not a Raspberry Pi 4, but interesting to know all the same!

That’s a rough place to be in. I hope it didn’t break the bank!

It’s recommended in the article as a third-party option, and I can still see some in the US store.

I feel bad for Americans that may soon be willing to pay for Anbernic devices at Retroid prices.

You could always try getting one shipped from a US warehouse or from Amazon.

Interesting. I’ve been looking for an alternative to Omnivore I could self-host.

I loved his video, but there were some pretty key actions that he could have done to reduce his phone usage, e.g., limiting/deleting his social media apps, reviewing/turning off his notifications, or setting Focus times to limit distractions during productive times of the day.

Fun experiment overall, but I wasn’t expecting any new revelations on attention spans from a comedian.

I looked it up and it looks really good. Kinda gushing over that torrent monitoring and Readarr support in beta.

Anyone have an iOS app recommendation?

I’ve shrugged off a couple other apps because LunaSea was so good. Gonna miss it when it finally breaks.

I was looking forward to the successor app, but given the circumstances of the present situation I don’t see that happening now :(

Is it backwards compatible with other systems?
