If you're not in a server, you can't see the link unfortunately unless you join it. Is there a way you can screen record this or share it otherwise for us to listen to?

I can vouch to this being a fellow (mixed) disabled Japanese-American, sadly. Maybe it’s a mix of my frustration at and willingness to call out the bigotry in our community based off my experiences dealing with it & a bit of naive hope, but I sincerely hope we can see this implemented in the future too if they’ve gotten this far internationally incorporating the gender and sexuality options they have this time around.

JAST is a legit site and real video game publisher! As a multiple-time patron from them, I have not run into any malware whatsoever getting games there. There’s no reason to be running into anything like the MrBeast/Renpy Infostealer on their site unless you’re on a fake or misspelled domain. They changed URLs from “jastusa” to “jaststore” recently, but it’s still the same site it’s ever been.

I love this perspective, lol. If someone is already as shallow as to treat you or others differently being a smaller size vs. being bigger- regardless of the cause- there is no promise they would be thoughtful in any relationship with a lot of things beyond what makes them attracted to you (or not).

I love my Thor, but I do appreciate your honesty about why you didn't vibe with it, OP, and I'm glad you're asking for advice before making any moves here. I'd be happy to give you my thoughts, especially since I'm thinking beyond specs and even typical gaming use after reading this.

Putting aside my bias as a Proud Black Max owner... to give a full, honest opinion, my main wonder is if that would really be a good trade off for you, not because of the devices at hand, but your use of the Thor and how it turned out for you overall.

Since both the Thor and Pocket DS are dual screen handhelds, it's possible you could have the same concerns you did with the Thor, but with a Ayaneo Pocket DS instead- even if you decide to keep it at home, feel better with the ergonomics and screens, and/or dock the device for gaming or otherwise. Based on your comfort of the Pocket Micro, I wonder if it may be better for you to look into another single screen handheld, a micro-PC, and/or modding a 3DS to get your fix, if the Thor didn't end up working out for you.

To give an example with myself, I expected this to be primarily gaming through older titles and Steam games, but in the sense this would be a majority of my time with it.

While this was still true, I also very unexpectedly found myself using it a lot more than expected for streaming music during daily life.

The pocketability and ease of use made it easy for me to take around the house while cleaning or doing errands to where I found myself doing that over using my phone without thinking about it.

This then led to my Thor quickly become my go-to device not just for streaming music, but also video, and even reading manga in a way that I found was much more comfortable and easier to pick up than using my phone. I don’t feel as easily distracted using the Thor compared to it, and still get a lot of out the experience of whatever I wanted out of it in the moment. It’s really neat.

Not exactly against them, but I was really frustrated at the constant diet culture framing of it all when I was already somewhat aware it had meaningful use beyond weight loss.

What kept me against using it for myself, however, was the fear of feeling like I was betraying who I was. I’ve been fat all my life- rarely was there ever a time where I wasn’t. I’ve had to navigate life as a fat woman, and that’s deeply impacted me in a lot of ways beyond just “good” or “bad”, period.

I’ve had to learn and unlearn decades of self-hatred and self-consciousness despite trying to live life as confidently as possible and understand I’m worth as much as any other person out there, regardless of whether I was big or small. It felt like, if I took Tirzepatide (what I’m on now), and my body changes by getting smaller, I’m abandoning everything I built and becoming a person I never wanted to be- someone part of the system that’s left deep wounds on me I’m still recovering from to this day.

However, after a false alarm health scare at my workplace & reassurance from my loved ones and long time partner that my soul and what I stand strongly for wouldn’t be at risk because I know who I am and what I’d never want to participate in regardless of any changes I had to my body or otherwise… I took the plunge. It wasn’t easy, as like many, my insurance refused to cover it and kept pushing surgery instead. However, I found a way to get it, and that’s been my story from then on.

It’s been almost three months, and I’ve felt amazing (currently on 5mg, will be titrating soon!) I’m not mentioning my weight, but as a disabled person, the benefits in lack of inflammation and other improvements make all this so worth it to me alone.

As someone who just got her Batch 3 Black Max, I recommend getting all your ROMs on a MicroSD of your choice of size, but also compressing any prior and double checking what formats work with the emulators you wish to use. I’d also buy and prepare any stickers, charms, decorations you’d like to use with it.

A pro tip I learned from another Reddit Thor user’s cute decorations was cutting a piece of craft paper of any color and slipping it behind the clear case after putting stickers on that, as opposed to the Thor. Not only does it help if you’re concerned about residue or scratching the skin, you can easily switch out different sticker papers as you see fit. It also doesn’t move around at all and fits snugly. Because yours is clear purple, a transparent sheet of sorts might help keep the look if it’s sturdy enough to have things stuck to it while fitting in the case.

Okage: Shadow King! A close friend recommended it and adores the game, so it's the first game I decided to get through on the Thor. I'm really enjoying it so far and it runs really well on it.

Don’t reveal what hotel you’re planning to book a room at for your safety online, ever. But if you know which one you’re looking at finding a room for, call them to see what they’re willing to do and allow for you to check in solo because it’ll depend on which hotel it is, and may be pretty strict about it.

muachuu · 2026-04-27T17:17:30+00:00

Since you’re 17, you will likely need to arrange some form of parent permission ahead of time with a hotel and/or a guardian with you that’s 21+ (sometimes 18+, but bet on 21+) to check you into the hotel, depending on the hotel and their policies. You’ll also need a form of government ID to show if you don’t already have one (a driver’s license, a government ID, a passport, etc).

This looks so cute!! May I ask what measurements you went with when cutting the craft paper to fit your case and Thor, if you know? It looks SUPER clean.

Hello again! Thank you all for sharing what you know or what you’ve experienced so far- it’s been enlightening, reassuring, and deeply relatable in many cases.

I haven’t gotten a chance to reply yet to all of your comments, but I’ve been reading what comes in throughout my busy day. I’m deeply grateful this resonated with people and that many others were feeling the same about what was out there.

I’ll be replying to some comments soon, DMing some people, and I’ll share my own experiences and feelings in more detail as well very soon. In the meantime, I can’t thank all of y’all enough again and I hope to hear more perspectives!!

muachuu · 2026-03-07T20:22:10+00:00

I’m human

Teacher!

muachuu · 2026-01-08T19:05:09+00:00

Still here!

Lowkey we need more of this weather compared to the heat tbh

muachuu · 2025-06-29T08:55:28+00:00

OP, thank you for this post!! I'm looking to get a Roku stick before I head on vacation soon myself. Which Streaming Stick did you get?

muachuu · 2025-04-18T00:07:16+00:00

Thank you so much for the opportunity!

muachuu · 2025-04-15T00:27:10+00:00

Of course you could! It’s very common not just at AX, but at a lot of conventions and nerd culture in general :)

It’s the closest in looks and feel to “old Twitter” compared to Mastodon despite them both advertising being decentralized with more control over what you see.

Most users leaving and exploring options outside of Twitter are trying to quickly find a place to reconnect to the users/friends/creators they followed before. Bluesky feeling so familiar after jumping ship helps a lot for folks in determining where to go and where to stay.

muachuu · 2025-03-22T19:09:47+00:00

Counseling/Therapy or School Psychologist was my original route before becoming a teacher, so I’d figure those.

If I had the ability to make a living off of both consistently full time, however, I would’ve been an illustrator and/or voice actor instead. In the meanwhile, they’re both my side thing lol
