2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

So this retro handheld review might have been my favorite so far. I have such an obsession with design language (be it gaming or all the way to architecture), and seeing something as unique and different as this rotating touch screen on a retro handheld? It won me over without a second's hesitation

This handheld is a nicely squished cube with rounded corners, has a touch screen, obviously flips up to be a gaming handheld you can (comfortably) play PlayStation/PSP and even some few GameCube/PS2 games. Although you'd have to be crazy to buy this for GCN/PS2. They're just a happy bonus (really, this is NOT a PS2 machine)

Playing music or streaming music is a blast, as are audiobooks. I've had the most fun playing GBA and PS games on here, but if you're interested in my review, you can check it out here:

Or, you can just ask me what you'd like to know if you'd prefer to not! I love this damn thing. If I could wear it on a belt loop, I promise you I would be doing that like it is the olden days of phones!

Not protected? Take its name as a hint and turn it around to face your leg, instead. Boom. Solved.

@wyldrstallyns That actually is worse. Out is better. You want the portion with the screen to bend the least.

Um. "Bend"? Thafuq are you doing with your pocket— actually, don't answer that. 🤫😅

@wyldrstallyns No, I will answer. Normal work, walking around, bumping into things, etc. Stuff that happens when things are in a pocket and a person actually does something other than standing still.

To clarify, the typical human leg has a vaguely roundish shape, not square and flat.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 26 minutes ago

Yes, and that's why screen-inward is the better orientation vs screen facing all that interaction with those outside objects, etc. 🫪

To clarify? Oh thanks, sweetie. 🤦🏼‍♂️🙄
