Wrapping up final script writing on the Pocket DS. It's surprisingly comfortable to take with me to cafes.

The responses to this video have been the most extreme of any of my videos so far.
Turns out that pointing out flaws in a handheld some folks staked their entire personality on leads them to calling me fat and stupid 🤷♂️

A new week, a new device with ideas about what a dual screen handheld should be.

Wrapping up my AYN Thor review this weekend. Using it back-to-back with the Sugar 1 really highlights how little effort AYN put into making the Thor a quality dual screen handheld.

Gotta love when the US government extorts a 13% fee to allow you the privilege of receiving the $600 handheld you already paid for

Reminding folks that they can play Nintendoland with their Steam Deck is still my favorite capture card trick.

The compatibility for Retroid's display would skyrocket if they included a button to rotate the image 90 degrees.

Good news: Someone made Cemu for Android compatible with external displays.
Bad news: It still doesn't work great for dual screen devices not using external displays.

Looks like the Ayaneo officially launched their Pocket DS campaign. The early bird price of $400 - $500 (with varying RAM and storage) seems about right for this device. Unfortunately, like most Ayaneo Android devices, the regular price seems to be a bit much.

A friendly reminder that a dual screen handheld can be as easy as mounting a display to your phone

Microsoft finally enabled Game Pass downloads on their ARM-based machines. 🎉
There're also no guardrails for compatibility (which is a good thing). Games I had problems with on Steam seem to have the same problems here, but I'm more than happy to have access to them as compatibility improves

Genki sent us some revised free Switch 2 accessories.
The original case and grips they sent felt great, but these second run versions feel a lot more form-fitting.

Ayaneo teased a dual screen Android handheld earlier today. Could be interesting if it manages to come in below the OneXSugar's early bird ($600).
Though, it's worth noting that (regardless of their marketing) it's far from the first dual screen Android handheld device (flip or otherwise).

After getting stuck in customs for over a week, my MagicX Zero 40 arrived.
If nothing else, it's certainly unlike any other handheld I've ever used.

Started testing the Lenovo Legion Go S yesterday. I can't remember the last time I've felt so conflicted about a handheld.

Found a Lenovo Legion Go S kiosk at a local Best Buy today.
Very nice machine, but, oddly enough, the software demo wouldn't show the SteamOS interface. There was also no way to physically lift the machine without breaking the kiosk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like Joy-Cons are a severely underrated part of the Switch's appeal as a handheld.
I mean, what other handheld is styled to allow users to replace their controls wholesale without a complicated mechanism or opening the system?

Super interesting that Target's online store still sells so many 3DS and DS games. Most games could probably be bought for cheaper on eBay or a LGS, but (if they are actually new) some prices aren't far off for new copies
