:ohlawd: Breh this shyt is clean AF. Takes me back to the PSP days :whew:. Everything feels so sleek and to the point. Like it just plain works. The only issue I'm having is getting adjusted to the layout. I'm so used to playing on the Switch that I forgot that the bottom button is the enter button. Also the cursor areas are going to take a minute to roll with, but I am satisfied.

Now just gotta wait for my games to download, before I hit up the desktop mode for Emudeck.

I should have got a 256 harddrive and did some physical upgrade because 64gb not it chief :francis:

It's basically a big xbox controller if my 6 year old and 4 year old can play on it you can too.

they’re kids…they’re happy to play with anything…I should roll cars on the floor too?

looks like I have my homework cut out for me…seems like there are a decent amount of options for PC handheld gaming

Breh the Steam Deck was the best thing to happen to PC gaming because these handhelds are popping up like weeds. Even if you don't want to cop the Aya Neo, you have various cheaper options that can at least run most games at reasonable framerates without looking like shyt.

specs-wise I absolutely agree but I would need to hold it before making a decision…it looks awkward as hell…but I’m glad there are other options I can look at

You upgrade it 256gb, doesn't cost that much SkHynix 256GB PCIe NVMe 2230 SSD (HFM256GDGTINI) (OEM) https://a.co/d/in7KEtl.

Getting the 64gb was bad idea, emulation and steam games taking too much space.

I mean I don’t care about that at the bold lol…but I mostly will use it at home when I don’t feel like gaming in front the TV…I honestly actually like the G cloud for that purpose but not at that ridiculous price…I’m willing to wait to see if it’ll get a huge price drop especially if they decide to discontinue it early on if sales are really poor

They actually have discount codes down to damn near 250ish. So if you still want to cop one. No lie, I actually thought about copping that jawn first but the fact that it's all online, I might as well cop a Retro handheld and throw Geforce Now on that jawn.

I actually was scoping that SSD, but held off on copping. Right now, I'm just treating the system as my Stardew Valley/No Mans Sky machine with a some Nintendo games on the side.
