Cancelled my AYANEO Pocket DS pre-order.
Too many trade-offs, and confirmed light bleed was the final push.
AYANEO handled it well though โ honest and fast with the refund.

I tried #KNULLI on the #TrimUISmartPro, and it completely changes the device. Wi-Fi transfers, RetroAchievements, save syncing across systemsโit feels like a premium handheld once itโs set up.

#KNULLI on the #TrimUISmartPro
The stock firmware is fine, but KNULLI takes it way further: Wi-Fi transfers, #RetroAchievements, #SyncThing, OTA updates, and loads of customisation.

Busy week in the handheld scene โ both muOS and Knulli dropped big CFW updates.
- muOS adds RG34XX SP + TrimUI support, hotkey/kiosk tweaks (latest Goose at muos.dev).
- Knulli brings perf + QoL fixes to Anbernic H700 devices.
Plenty to dig into!

Clamshell wars! #AYANEOPocketDS vs #AYNThor. I'm going with the Pocket DS! The bigger screen is a huge plus for travel, and the deeper early bird discount made it an easy choice. #AYANEO #AYN #PocketDS #AYNThor #gaming

I reviewed the Powkiddy V90S โ the cheapest clamshell handheld you can buy. But is it actually worth it? After months of testing, hereโs why I canโt recommend it without some tinkering.

New hands-on review is up on Patreon: Powkiddy V90S ๐ฎ
Itโs the cheapest clamshell you can buyโbut does that make it worth it? I break down the strengths, flaws, and why I canโt recommend it (without custom firmware).
Patreon (free!) link is up, video coming out soon!

I like the #Powkiddy #V90S for what it is but I can't recommend it even if it is the cheapest emulation clamshell made in 2025.
I'm hoping to get the video out by Sunday, so watch this space if you're interested.
TL;DR: just get the #Anbernic #RG35XXSP.
Let's try this again! I'm installing an AMODEL touch screen on my Game Boy Color live on YouTube right now! Plus I'll be showcasing some other nerdy things that I've been doing lately so come say hello if you're into it.

11.08.2025 05:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I haven't played #WorldofWarcraft in nearly two years. I saw a deep discount on the recent expansion, which includes a month of game time, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I know I'm going to be disappointed again, but hopefully, I'll have fun while going through the motions.
This was the first mod Iโve ever done to a retro console, and it was way more fun than I anticipated! The #GameBoyAdvance is a system I missed out on when it was popular, and now that I can actually see whatโs happening on the screen, I might finally get a feel for what it was like back in the day.
