I wish I had a retro handheld enthusiast friend IRL (lemmy.ml)

I really wish I had an IRL friend that was into retro handhelds just like I am.

We could sit on the couch, hang out and play and show off our games and devices to eachother. Show how we've progressed in our games. Infodump about the weirdest facts related to Gameboys, DSs, emulator handhelds and so on.

But, I don't have any IRL friends who are at all interested in this stuff.

I'm sad :(

Hey, you might have luck with retro clubs or something. For Germany I could maybe help with that but I think you're likely in the US.
