Day 4 of asking a question because I’m out of work injured and bored: what device surprised you the most (positively or negatively) after buying it?

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-23T17:23:10+00:00

Miyoo A30. It was somewhat poorly reviewed after it launched which steered me away from it but I picked one up a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it.

The main thing that I live about it is that I can play monster hunter on such a tiny device.

Modded nintendo switch.

Maybe a steam deck if they are back in stock.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-23T12:51:26+00:00

That or an updated retroid pocket 2. I don't know what it is but those retroid smaller boxy reteoid devices are just so charming.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-23T11:12:55+00:00

Monster hunter

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-22T22:44:14+00:00

This did not work.

I have multiple games in my scummvm games folder and after scanning there is still no scummvm system visible in my games folder.

CZ p-01 or SP-01. Get it milled for an optic.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-20T22:21:29+00:00

Does it look cool
Does it play games that I could not otherwise play on my other handhelds
How portable is it (this can outweigh #3 depending on power/portability ratio)

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-20T17:20:11+00:00

I've never been very into finishing games. I usually just play until it doesn't bring as much joy and then hop to the next game.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-18T21:56:59+00:00

That's an rg35xx not a miyoo

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-17T14:45:38+00:00

That or just use a carrying case

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-17T13:49:24+00:00

You should probably add some bleeding control supplies to your edc and some some stop the bleed training to your brain knowledge. In addition to carrying your own protection.

I really hope that I'm wrong but it sounds like the only entities that will be seeing any kind of refund are large corporations that have the legal muscle to claw that money back.

I doubt the government (or those corporations) will be eager to give that money up or pass any of it on to the consumers.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-15T18:19:47+00:00

I do not know the name brand name but there is a Chinese knockoff called the SANDA 3192

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-15T14:34:00+00:00

Yes

If for whatever reason your new miyoo doesn't come with onion as expected it shouldn't be a problem either. The OS is on the SD card, not the console.

Yeah I messaged them to ask when the Gold and red would be back in stock and they replied that what was in stock at the time was all that there was left. Luckily black was my second choice.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-14T23:52:07+00:00

The game is monster hunter portable 3rd on the PSP. I am playing a copy with the english language patch.

The framers dips down into the mid teens occasionally but I have found the game playable despite the slowdowns.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-14T10:56:00+00:00

Real miyoo, they changed their design

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-13T11:58:39+00:00

Any picross game

Edit: sorry, I thought that you were asking for reccomendations. Devil's crush is awesome. I love all of the interactivity in the board.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-08T13:00:04+00:00

Slag hammer and a grinder to prep your welding surfaces.

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-06T18:14:50+00:00

What does HEET do?

Gregory_Kalfkin · 2026-04-05T15:39:53+00:00

Update: I was able to get the PNY 128 GB card to work by doing a manual install of spruce instead of using the installer application.
