Just talked about wanting to test this out on the latest episode, but I can't find the dang things in my moving boxes yet.

Shane picked up a Switch 2 at midnight release the other day, so prepare yourselves for some first takes on the Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and the Sonic Cherry Limeade he had while waiting in line.

Level 9: Vita Means Life Stan picks up a Vita and discovers what life truly is as he gets heavy with Gravity Rush. Meanwhile, Shane is still (mostly) only playing games with a resolution of 160x144.

Shane also plays some Tony Hawk 3, and we map out the possibilities of Steam Deck's new GeForce NOW app. Stream the show at whatsthatinyourpocket.fireside.fm/9 or wherever you download pods!

The RG Slide is real! Anbernic’s latest teaser video shows the sliding mechanism and speaker layout, leaving some to speculate about the screen size.

My main issue with it is the atrocious battery life even when playing Game Boy, and the super slow charging rate. I wish I wanted to play with it more!

A screenshot showing all 110 achievements and "mastery" of Link's Awakening on RetroAchievements

Probably not the best way to play this game for the first time, but @shaneb.bsky.social fully exhausted Link's Awakening with a mastery on @retroachievements.org, and we'll be sure to talk about it on the next level of WTIYP!
