My hard and fast rule is, “Don’t play freemium games.” The second I see stars, coins, tickets, tokens, I’m out. I exclusively play what are mostly ports from console. Trials of Mana, The Alliance Alive HD Remastered, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Danganronpa, Spiritfarer, Oxenfree, Stardew Valley, Minecraft etc. I also have Apple Arcade from my Verizon package, and I play the Netflix games. Avoid freemium / gacha / IAP-riddled games, and some of the ports are at least decent.

1200 baud in 1994. I’m ancient.

How do you like this model? I love handheld consoles. I have a Steam Deck but for traveling I’d like to get something way lighter and smaller to just toss in my bag. Tempted to dip for one of these soon.

I’m in! This has been on my backlog forever. Time to get playing. :)

I get a lot of my audiobooks (and ebooks) from mobilism.org.

I’ve gotten super hooked on Dave the Diver the last few days! Great game. The first shark is still kicking my butt though.

I really loved the Vita. Probably my favorite handheld console of all time.
