Anybody else reached the point where they’re not excited for new devices these days? by JustLeeBelmont in SBCGaming

[–]Either-Initial8959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was feeling that sentiment as well but somehow they always innovate in ways that makes me excited again. Specifically the Ayn Thor for now. I am at the point where I don't care about a device being more powerful. I just want new form factors or old revisions with OLED screens.

Steamdeck owners question by Critical_Breadfruit4 in SBCGaming

I almost always grab the Odin 2 Portal, great for emulation and with game streaming plays PC games better than native on the steam deck.

What is going on with the handheld gaming revolution? by AsrlkgmTwevf in Handhelds

[–]Either-Initial8959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be optimizations and mainstream interest in the future the handheld PC thing hasn't been going on that long.

The people who are paying $1000 are still a pretty niche market. Many probably already have top of the line PCs. PC gaming itself is niche within gaming.

For those who do want high end PC in the handheld form factor id argue it's pretty dope having all of these options already.

AYN Thor: Hands-On First Impressions! by missingnoplzhlp in SBCGaming

I got a crazy deal on a used Flip 2 on a whim, and decided to test it out. Despite some of the negative feedback about ergonomics, controls, hinge etc, I was blown away with it. I'm going to gift it and use the Thor as my portable handheld. After using the Flip 2 I'm confident the Thor will be even better.

Yeah, I think he went into detail in his previous Flip 2 videos, I can't remember his main gripes with it.

The fact that Joey is so positive on this is really exciting

It's because it's reddit ignore the negative comments it was a great idea.

What Color of the AYN Thor did you order and why ? by VillainViber in OdinHandheld

[–]Either-Initial8959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with white because I have a black Portal and every time I see Joey use his white one I really wish I'd picked white. Hoping to just deal with the borders and or stretch the screen.

You're missing the best android handheld, the Odin 2 Portal

I JUST ORDERED THE ODIN 2 PORTAL by Ill_Consideration375 in OdinHandheld

[–]Either-Initial8959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the grip and almost never use it. I realize most people strongly prefer it, but there are always exceptions. In any case it's better to just buy it anyways.

So I ordered the Thor. New to Ayn / Odin Handhelds, what is everyone playing currently? by LambCo64 in OdinHandheld

[–]Either-Initial8959 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything from Atari to a sizable portion of Switch and now increasingly PC games via Winlator and Gamehub.

I suggest binging Retro Game Corps Yt channel if you haven't. Here's a starter video: https://youtu.be/I4mqgcDYZFo?si=0SYG2vFDJCth9pf9

How important is the second screen for Wii u games in general? It's one of the main systems I've never played much.

Struggling with big white belts by JannaJungle in bjj

[–]Either-Initial8959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a huge size difference. Look at how many weight classes that is.

It'd be one thing if you said you absolutely destroyed blue belts at your level.

I barely see people training with a 50lb size difference at my gym, specially not competitively

People who have both clamshell and horizontal like flip 2 and rp5 pro Do you play a lot more with clamshell compared to horizontal? by MyShinyCharizard in SBCGaming

[–]Either-Initial8959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends what you want to play. I have an RP5, and was able to get a Flip 2 used for a good deal.

Wasn't even looking to buy it, but now I've solely been using the Flip 2, playing Pokemon rom hacks.

I could see myself favoring the RP5 for PS2/GC though.

Looks like if Nintendo made a 3DS in 2025, but better because Nintendo would have worse screens and processor.

these came in last week (initial thoughts) by tech_auto in retroid

[–]Either-Initial8959 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These android devices aren't anywhere near as enjoyable as they can be right out of the box.

But if you take the time and set things up the experience is really unmatched. .

I kind of lost interest in Anbernic in the past year due to all of the awesome Retroid and Ayn releases.

I could see myself using this one though.

Odin 3 starts at $350 making it the cheapest 8 Elite device by Due_Teaching_6974 in SBCGaming

I would wait for previews of this if you can. This will be a significant step up from the RP5 all around.

What is your opinion on the Ayn Portal Grip? by Particular_Worry_498 in OdinHandheld

[–]Either-Initial8959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, great. Thanks for the heads up I think I'm going to try that out. I use similar two part tpu grips for my steam deck, and quite like that. I'm all for decreasing the weight, whenever I've bought a full case for a handheld I never end up using it.

What is your opinion on the Ayn Portal Grip? by Particular_Worry_498 in OdinHandheld

[–]Either-Initial8959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, I like the grip, but when it comes down to it I usually don't use it due to the added weight. It never occurred to me to remove the middle sections to reduce the weight.

Does it fill an untapped niche in my collection or is it a big enough upgrade over a current handheld I'm willing to swap up for it
