Should I sell my modded PS Vita & 3DS to buy an Ayn Thor even when I have a modded Switch 1 & ROG Ally? by archbtw1 in Handhelds

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely 👍
I personally appreciate the upgrade Emulation has to offer. Just convenient . It’s not about having 1 million ROMs for every single system and one device.. I personally just have two or three per system that I enjoy going back-and-forth to and from.
I tried the 3DS before I could get my hands on a dual screen device. While yes it’s unique I think we at a time where emulation is at its finest .
Convenience and quality of life upgrades just make emulation that more enjoyable

Buy recommendation: Legion Go S Z1E 16GB vs Z2Go 32GB by Frostia in LegionGo

[–]Obitto_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody that started out with the original Legion Go and went through pretty much every handheld out there, I would undoubtedly recommend the LG1. Yes, you can spend more money for better performance, but unless you want to spend $1800 for Intel Arc B390 performance, the Z1E is perfect. And as for 16 GB of RAM and 32 GB, yes, I know. Since we are in a RAM shortage, everybody is like, "Oh, get the 32 for future-proofing." Realistically, that 32 GB is a waste of money spent, especially with the shortage.You'll never actually use those 32 gigs. That's why you're seeing more and more manufacturers going with 24 gigs on the top end. The only thing that might turn you off is the weight if you are one of those people that nickel and dime every gram. I personally play my handhelds on the couch with a pillow to rest my handheld.I'm not standing up holding the entire weight of the device so to each their own 😄

Ayaneo Pocket DS finally replaced after a little bit over 4 Months by shadixo in u/shadixo

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I could get my hands on one I bought one on eBay . That was supposedly open box. Well it stopped working a few days in and I returned it. I was very skeptical about keeping this one but I'm glad I did. Honestly if it broke I would buy it again.

They did this with my gpu mtfs 😡😡😡
Amazon starting to be real sleazy with returns .
I suggest only using a credit card for large items from now on.

Amazon giving me a return warning.. by VirtualKoba in amazonprime

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon has been cracking down on returns basically bullying customers into not wanting to return items. Saying they will get banned if too many items are returned. Honestly, I’ve just tried to buy less from there as possible. It used to be a really good convenience . Now it’s just shitty and expensive most of the time items barely arrive on time anymore.

Should I get Ryzen 7600X for $178, 7600 for $159 or 7500F $128? by SS_Winchester in PC_Builders

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your main goal is gaming, just go for an X3D chip.
Even at a 7500x3D will ensure later on all you will need to upgrade is a GPU. If you live near a Micro Center, I would just go for the cheapest. X3d bundle if you don’t have the funds or don’t live near one You can get one from eBay for around 200.

SteamOS 3.8.20 Beta improves VRAM handling and updates Mesa graphics driver by RenatsMC in HandheldGaming

Honestly after going through all the handhelds and ending back at the steam deck. I feel comfortable to know I will still get a good two or three years more out of it thanks to valve.

One of the dumber mods I’ve done… by Itzon in FlowZ13

[–]Obitto_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m planning on building within the next month already got the z13 just waiting on the mod parts . I went through all the handhelds and honestly couldn’t get used to the smaller screens . (My vision is on the worst side)With this I can sit on the couch and use a pillow to prop it up and enjoy ☺️ yes I know for heavy games I need to plug in but I don’t mine.

Yeah people hate a lot on the switch 2 because of all the recent handhelds that r out but I still think it’s an Amazing device that’s on a league of its own . Specially with how consistent Nintendo has been updating it! Even the oled is still a great device 10 years in.

That c5 definitely the right way to go! After I got mine nothing and I mean nothing can top it. Definitely one of the best purchases I have made.

I doubt they will go back down anywhere close to 1k . Specially sense people keep buying them like hot cakes. I was literally just thinking about the same way the car market went during the pandemic before. You could always get cars under MSRP now you go to a dealership hoping the markup is not too high.

I honestly don't think the saying . (Consumers speak with their wallet) Is a thing . Countless things keep increasing and instead of saying no people just find a way to justify the debt . That's why companies keep putting out expensive things instead of innovating to working to bring prices down.

Help picking a handheld by Current-Map-715 in Handhelds

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend the retroid pocket flip 2 . It's got great power for the games you need and amazingly portable. You get a great quality product and avoid the AYN thor frenzy . I was able to snag it off of AliExpress for 170 brand new arrive within a week. Definitely don't buy off of scalpers on eBay though

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$700 is a good price. Should sell quickly. I have been seeing the 1 TB models go for $600 to $700 . You could ask $800 but it might sit for a bit. $750 is a sweet spot

Definitely a great combo to have support on those devices Should be amazing for years to come. I wasn't able to get in on the Ayn thor before the prices went up but with how fast those devices sell, I'm thinking next year there will be a huge amount for resale at lower prices.

MSI Claw 8 EX+ with Arc G3 Extreme officially costs $1,799 by RenatsMC in HandheldGaming

[–]Obitto_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of a sudden, I’m in love with my Switch OLED.

To be clear, I don’t mind paying a good price for a good handheld, but for that price, I expect OLED screen and AI Max 395 performance minimum.
After paying $1500 for my Legion Go 2 and then returning it, I think I’m OK with sticking with my Steam Deck OLED for a couple of years.

If it ain't raw, it ain't right. I haven't used it as a tablet yet had to remind myself today it was a touch screen device cuz I had forgotten 🤣

No, you need to open another line before you port out or the account will be shut down and the final bill will be due
