If it counts, definitely the Steam Deck. With that and emulators, it’s like having almost every game I’ve ever owned in one portable machine.

In a similar vein, I love my ps vita. Hacked, it’s an absolutely amazing console, and is able to boast the “actually fits in my pocket” award.

Similar here: Anbernic RG280V. Fits in a pocket. Plays everything up through PSX. I use it all the time!

Such a cool console. Sony butchered it, but theres still so much fun to be had with it. We got a GTA san andreas port by the community ffs

Sony wishing they didn’t make the vita is a double edged sword, because it also means you can be a completely obvious hacker, and Sony doesn’t give a singular fuck. And they still ban people for hacking on ps3, so it isn’t just age.

I have whatever I set up with when I hacked it tbh. I don’t really do much beyond transfer games onto it at this point

Have had mine for 10 years and it still going. The screen edges are a bit yellow but not a big deal.

I just got one so reading this makes me hopeful. Fallen out of love with gaming a bit in recent years

Check out “Dave the diver”. I’ve fallen out of love with gaming as well and I’ve been dropping a lot of hours into this game on my steam deck. Super unique and easy to pick up and put down. Feels fresh.

Also just ordered mine. Since I started working fulltime remote a year ago, I found myself not wanting to spend more time on my desk after work. That translated into me almost giving up gaming even though I used to love it. Moving to a place where I can have a second desk would cost me one Steam Deck per month so I just went with a Steam Deck lol

I got one recently too, and it’s already helping me with this. I hope you find joy in it :). I never buy myself anything so I was worried I’d regret it… but I really like it so far.

Omg same, but it’s been a rough year so this is my Christmas gift to myself I guess. Also glad to hear it’s helping you :)

I got a retroid pocket 3+ for emulators and it’s fuckin awesome. I feel like a steam deck may be in my near future lol

Along these lines, i’m thrilled with the ps portal as well. was only $200, but the ps online streaming is so good. i used to use it on ps4 on my ipad with an external controller from 1200 miles away at legit decent frame rate and latency.

ps portal’s display is crisp and beautiful, it looks so much more gorgeous than the steam deck (because all the rendering is done on the ps5), and there are some games that i don’t even really want to play on the big screen format that the portal has made awesome because they’re wonderful on handheld format.

best gaming purchase i’ve made in a long while

I came here to type that, so I’ll just upvote yours instead. Such a versatile device, the Steam Deck!
