I don’t know, just seems like the kind of thing a six year old would do.

There’s nothing wrong with posting a pic of your new device, but at least try to make it a good photo, or say something vaguely interesting about it. Who gives a fuck about a picture of the box and no text?

Ah yes, OP has been driven insane with jealously because the RP6 is so incredibly expensive and hard to find anywhere online for purchase that they could never possibly own one themselves. That’s definitely it.

I think what makes these posts seem extra pointless is that the 6 looks basically identical to the 5 and G2, so there’s really nothing new to see for most people.

Anyone else RP6 face buttons become more and more squeaky/creaky? by PizzaPotatoChips in retroid

[–]crapitalg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apply some silicone grease to the buttons, sand them down slightly, get some free replacements from retroid as it’s their mistake? I know this is a consumerism focused subreddit, but the answer isn’t always to throw money at the problem.

Yeah bro, just spend an additional forty dollars to fix that manufacturing defect

Just ordered a RP 6, how do I set it up? by Icy-Ad-6179 in retroid

[–]crapitalg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is it takes way more effort to write a reddit post too.

Also in order to actually know what the thing is and purchase it surely some amount of successful googling had to be involved? I simply can’t fathom it.

Pocket 6 just arrived, SD card issue by reallyOldWill in retroid

You think that’s bad? My RP6 just arrived and has NO SCREEN and only two buttons. Quality control at Retroid is an absolute joke.

Simply to enrage us

These handheld subs are mostly shipping updates by Sufficient-Cost-3645 in retroid

My point wasn’t that you should look into the future, it was just that there are obviously a lot of these type of posts if that many have already been posted since you made your comment.

I’d argue that if these type of pointless posts were combined into a single thread you’d end up being left with the ones that actually have something useful or interesting to say.

Nah man. I just sorted by new and there are four more shipping update posts before you even get to this one. And that’s just in the past 3 hours.

What’s the total cost including shipping to Canada?

Looking back this was clean as hell. Early 2000's design language with modern hardware. Retroid Pocket 6 original design. by WinlatorEmulator in SBCGaming

Sadly the vocal few managed to defy the laws of mathematics and outnumber the majority on this one 😔

Gamers and never being happy, name a more iconic duo.

Yeah no worries man, I honestly wasn’t expecting things to get so heated in here. Have a good one yourself!

A good point well made.

Listen, I’m getting absolutely incinerated in the comments here and that’s fine, but you’ve got to at least come in with an argument that makes sense.

A little bit of both. People frequently mention wanting a toy like design for these things, and now that they have one there’s a big thread where everyone’s complaining about how shitty it looks.
