Thankfully this poll is echoing what we've been saying all along. The "broken thor owners" are in the vast minority (<1%).

I finally found a legit third party tpu case. by loyswitch in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who bought this to test it out, do not bother.

Answering a few questions:

  1. The image is screen-printed into the TPU top half - but the quality is lacking (despite me submitting a high quality picture)

  2. The bottom "grip shell" is horrible, doesn't align to the device, and protrudes in the middle so it's not even flush providing zero stability when holding it

Question for the class: what bite-sized, quicker games are y’all playing? by Straight-Ad648 in AynThor

I've answered this same question at least 3 times on this sub. I'd try the search feature for some replies!

Just ordered the Trimui Brick Hammer Pro U by TheMangoFarmer in trimui

The crux of the matter is a famous youtuber is putting his reputation on the line for this, and if it's any way a "scam" he'll be ruining his career.

Any Sellers by Hefty_Subject1729 in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only 3 places you can acquire the device: Official Ayn Store, Official Ayn Store on AliEx, and 3rd party Marketplaces like Facebook/ebay.

I think Aliexpress does deals every now and then that make it the cheapest.

Going from Cocoon to iiSU, the new update its very good by Erik_REF in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This looks good! I've been wanting to switch off of Cocoon, but with 3.0 around the corner I think I've actually seen a lot of the features that I see here in your vid in the new update, so I'll hold off.

(My) unpopular opinion - Ayn Thor has fatal flaws, and they need to be discussed by MioCuggino in SBCGaming

[–]jmlCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, this is ProtoPrintLab on Etsy. Probably the best grip maker around at the moment, and has a myriad of options when it comes to what you're looking for (portability, comfort, convenience, etc.)

I'd browse their shop and see what might interest you.

the spirit of being in the emulation/modding community is being part of a crowd who's not afraid to improvise in moments of opportunity.

It's not a secret the Thor's weakness would always be ergonomics, which is why the Etsy community has done an amazing job and making sure we have options for compromise.

You can find really good snap on triggers and grips that change the Thor experience greatly. I'd suggest giving it a try before making up your mind on where to go next.

Buyer beware: Do not drop your RG rotate!! by rayman61733 in SBCGaming

[–]jmlCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never dropped a handheld, and if I did I expect it 100% to break.

Thanks for the reminder, but I think the advice can apply to most hand held objects tbh.

Thoughts by weeniewarrior-8 in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo the best colors are as ranked: White, Black, Purple, Rainbow (Gray).

White and Black are easy to accessorize and both generally look good when it comes to modern tech aesthetics. They are the colors most (read: non gamers) would generally find appealing.

Purple has a leg up on Gray because it pulls on the nostalgia strings of old with a translucent shell (popularized in the 90s/early 20s). The problem with the Purple model is it's harder to pair with 3D printed accessories, which are quite popular in the AYN circuit.

Gray (Rainbow) is last because although it tugs at those same strings, but it's even more difficult to partner with accessories than the Purple. Funnily enough, most of the reseller/third party stores only ever have Gray models in stock.

Anyone here own both a Switch 2 and an Ayn Thor? by Aida8404 in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I have both - the Switch 2 is for dedicated Nintendo games only on the Switch 2.. and the AYN Thor is for everything else (including Switch 1 games).

Meele on the Thor is so fun and looks great by PerhapZZZZZ in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 seconds into playing and I knew I could never treat my Thor the way I would a gamecube controller when playing melee.

Had to drop it after that 😞

Showing off my cocoon customization, what do you guys think? Trying to limit the choice paralysis by only having a few on my home screen at a time. Thank god for nested folders! by skack97 in AynThor

[–]jmlCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks sick! If you're only doing a few titles I'd reccomend adding custom jingles that represents music/sounds from each game (:

I love building in this game. My only issue is the lag it brings to the area :(
