I just checked how much I was paying for my Nord subscription and now I’m convinced that Proton Unlimited (discounted) is a great value. Gonna switch next year when my subscription ends. Thanks for putting this together!

The Walkman was my go-to reaction as well. They literally don’t make ‘em like they used to.

The result of waking the Wind Fish in Link’s Awakening broke something in me at such a young age that I don’t think I’ve since experienced as profoundly.

The iPhone Air is so small, I feel like I’ll sit on it and it will slide seamlessly up my rectum, never to be seen again.

There’s a 6.9” (nice) display joke here, but it’s too early in the morning to fit one in.

The thing about the redesign that irks me the most is that browsing your own personal library is unnecessarily convoluted the way it’s now organized. It’s a big step backwards in terms of navigation.

When stores started marking up the “regular” price to hit bigger percentages is about when I started price tracking things I knew I’d buy later down the road. Looking at you, Best Buy!

I periodically keep tabs on new HDD prices in my area. Black Friday hasn’t had the same deep discounts it once did.

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.
