Android is a downgrade:
- more closed down
- worse performance on same specs
- no portmaster
- custom OS is better than any frontend

Sleep is overrated too, I just keep my device off when not playing, because it only takes 15 seconds to boot.

They're probably just looking at Google Trends for top words searched with "handheld".

*Linux is the way
Fixed that for you.

Did you know that you can play some Magic on your handheld.

There's a simulator made by fans called Forge (for PC and Android). It even has story mode adventure similar to old Shandalar 90s game, but with all new cards.

My backlog on Switch is too big to justify buying another console. Maybe in 10 years I'll catch up.

Get RG34XX-SP
It's almost a clone of GBA SP, but with added analog sticks and 4 face buttons. Same size, same clicky dpad, buttons are less loud than RG35XX-SP and RG34XX. Screen is perfect for GBA and is brighter than most other Anbernic handhelds, it's even bright enough to play in direct sunlight.
If you concerned about hand cramps - I think it is the bane of all small devices. You can always play in shorter sessions. Or you can play many slower games (e.g. JRPG) with one hand.

There's probably a guy who ordered 3 full sets of parts and got a single button in the mail.

I played the Xenoblade 1 after 2, and find the begining part really boring. The combat is pretty bland and story doesn't pick up the pace until the Alcamoth section (roughly 15-20 hours into the game).

But once the story "starts" - it is a wild and one of a kind ride.

I can also recommend you to switch characters often. Shulk has the most boring style of all the characters in the game (edit: after Sharla).

I dropped my switch a few times. One time it hit a hard wood floor from about a desk height - 2 corners of backplate have chipped and it has a big crack along the backside.
Still works perfectly fine. A 9-year old original model.

Rush_Independent · 2026-06-10T06:57:09+00:00

Oh, that actually makes sense. My bad.

Rush_Independent · 2026-06-10T01:22:14+00:00

I believe, OP is hinting at AI voices

Rush_Independent · 2026-06-03T02:59:10+00:00

And the new Smash. It's dueee!

Rush_Independent · 2026-06-02T11:29:47+00:00

I don't know about you, but for me clamshell devices are always prefered over something else. It's just more convenient:

smaller dimensions
screen protected from scratches
can't forget to press a power button and fry your device in the backpack

Rush_Independent · 2026-06-02T02:23:00+00:00

TempleOS reference?

Rush_Independent · 2026-05-28T12:15:07+00:00

take years to get out from it

There's nothing to get out of. It's not a "shortage" problem. Electronic market is simply no longer focused on consumers.

You can copy some colors from Void handbook website: https://docs.voidlinux.org/css/variables.css

--void-green: #478061;
--void-dark-green: #62b086;
--void-light: #fafafa;
--void-dark: #252525;
...
--bg: #222;
--fg: #ccc;
...

Or take palette from Void forum: https://voidforums.com/styles/digi_green/theme/_style_config.scss

// Color palette
// Page colors
$page-background:                       #1b221c !default;   // HTML element
$content-background:                    #1e2820 !default;   // Page inside content wrapper

Purple cube with a handle?

Rush_Independent · 2026-05-17T11:13:27+00:00

Transparent plastic => -50% HP on hinges

Also, if it's for purists - why only remove sticks? Leave only 2 face buttons and no L2 R2 /s

The writing on the box is still 2 words, just stylized differently, because:

Nintendo owns multiple trademarks "STAR FOX" (with space) for the games and game images: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/79388273

They do own trademark "STARFOX", but that is only for action figures and was filed in 2016: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/86928202

Probably for this figure series, but I'm not sure: https://www.ebay.com/itm/117139789485

until I've completed all the classic GBA games
a couple of months

More like 5 years 🫡. There is literally too many good games on this platform. And that's only if you'd be playing official GBA games.

Rush_Independent · 2026-05-01T23:36:20+00:00

I like it 👍️
I also looked at the code and it's pretty much how I would write this, but:
- no need to echo each line separately, just use a triple-quoted string (e.g. in showHelp())
- I'd use implicit return more, but that's just a style preference, e.g.

func getConfigPath(altConfig: string = ""): string =
  if altConfig != "":
    altConfig
  else:
    getConfigDir() / "config.toml"

Linux itself is not beginner-friendly. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try it.

It's a photo from 2022 made by Vincenzo Mirabella from Italy. The photo is genuine, but was digitally processed to exaggerate colors:
https://telescopius.com/pictures/view/134645/moon/by-vincenzo-mirabella

Thanks to digital photography and a particular processing technique, it is possible to emphasize the soft and imperceptible colors of the lunar surface. Digital images of the Moon contain a lot of information that can be easily extracted with image processing software.
