A guy (he/him), obsessed with the DS/3DS and handheld game systems of nearly every kind. Too Many Handhelds on YouTube.
One of the things that first sold me on the DS was how you could play Castlevania while looking at the map.
Now with the Thor I can play games on the top screen and have an FAQ guide with maps on the bottom screen to reference.

I've been having weirdly good luck the past few days and so I bought a scratcher this morning and won $100!

Gen AI is like money laundering but with content.
You can't just go to Google images, download any copyrighted photo and use it, but you can use AI that's scraped and been trained on the exact same image to make a copy. Somehow people think that isn't theft, but it's just theft with extra steps.

My brain: I should finish one of the games that I'm close to the end of before the new year, there's just enough time.

There are several YouTubers that I used to really trust and respect, until they started promoting ModRetro stuff. It's disgusting that Palmer Luckey is still being promoted like this.
I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I'm still setting up my Ayn Thor, and this morning I got a notification that Anbernic's DS is out for delivery. This is my last day of work before I'm off on break. It's really early, but I'm also very excited for the next few weeks where I have new toys and also time off to enjoy them.

Does anyone use Gamehub? I'm having a blocker of an issue. I install games that I've seen others play on the same device on YouTube, but it gives me an error about not installing config files and doesn't run the game. It's online, the game(s) fully installed, I'm not sure what the problem is.

After waiting since August my Thor handheld arrived, and I'm not an emotional guy, but IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
I'll take some photos tomorrow, but as someone that has an obsession with the 3DS, this is like a dream come true.

There is a version of X-Men 2 in the Sega Channel archive that has 8 lives! There are probably other differences too, but that's the one that stands out so far.

I bought this on sale from GOG for just over $1. I've only played through tutorial and first chapter, but I am in love with this game. If you like silly games, this is a good one to check out and I don't want to say more because going in blindly has been a treat so far.
