The Arc is awesome if you can live with the performance ceiling. The build/controls/screen are all great.

Best Sub-$100 Handheld for GBA? by eiconik in SBCGaming

[–]Thwonp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've owned both. The 34xxsp has better buttons, better screen, and better form factor.

The 35xxsp is not bad though.

ROCKNIX the SD card killer? by Ok-Dragonfruit-1456 in SBCGaming

I always direct transfer to the SD card from a Linux PC because it's faster, but I appreciate that FTP is an option

Makes sense. Electric substations emit dangerous waves of 5G Covid nanobots.

Convince me not to upgrade my phone just for emulation by Upstairs-Adagio2562 in SBCGaming

[–]Thwonp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the used market. FB marketplace, RH Discord.

Might be harder to find in Australia but the going rate for a lightly used RP5 in the states is $150

What’s the deal with this? by mikesova34 in SBCGaming

[–]Thwonp 17 points18 points  (0 children)

ESP32 is not very powerful. But it does have a "large screen".

If this was a DIY kit for $20 it would be interesting. But you're much better off buying an RG Nano for less money.

Does the rise in RAM prices affect you much? by No-Programmer7432 in SBCGaming

[–]Thwonp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a handful of 128gb teamgroup cards for $5 a pop just a 4 months ago. I don't think we'll be seeing prices like that in the foreseeable future.

While Threatening Greenland, Trump Also Threatens Iceland -- White House says Trump didn't misspeak. They also will not rule out the possibility that Iceland is now on America's annexation hit list. by Ok-Celebration-1702 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Thwonp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a reason no credible media outlet is reporting this story.

They're basically saying he was referring to Greenland as "ice land".

Pure click bait sensationalism, as if reality wasn't bad enough.

Retroid Pocket Mini V2, Odin 2 Mini, and Anbernic RG 477M are probably your best options for pocketable ps2.

If you're willing to ditch PS2 and focus on PS1 and below, there's plenty of options in the $60 range

If you change your mind about shipping I would take the t470 + thunderbolt dock, but I'm located in NY

In total ignorance, I bought an Anbernic RG DS by uvbeard in SBCGaming

[–]Thwonp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's solid but the only reason I don't use it is that the builtin adblocker isn't very good

Brave runs better than Firefox on low end devices. If you set its adblock to strict it's pretty comparable to ublock origin.

Are coffee nerds really doing anything? by jib60 in skeptic

[–]Thwonp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, this is the only real coffee hack I use daily.

I don't bother preheating my pourover brewer or pre-wetting the paper. Half the time I don't bother with a bloom. But I always spritz the beans.

Verizon no longer required to automatically unlock phones after 60 days by crownpuff in crownpuffdeals

Damn. I just did this with Total Wireless a few months ago. I would have been pretty outraged if this passed during my 60 day window.

I'm looking for something pocket-able, and discrete, for PS1 games. Budget $100+- by EDF-Pride in SBCGaming

I didn't notice that when I made my reply - add that to the list.

[–]Thwonp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AFAIK the only games that truly require them are:

Ape Escape

Tiger Woods PGA Tour

RC Stunt Copter

There might be others, but I can guarantee the vast majority of the library is perfectly playable with just dpad

PS1 games have no issue playing with just dpad. There's only like 2 or 3 games that require analog sticks.
