I have an RG353V. I got that one for ~the aesthetic~ (looks like an old gameboy), and I do like it, but I can see why people generally suggest a model with a horizontal form factor instead, since the vertical (gameboy shaped) is not very ergonomic. I mainly stick to 8 or 16-bit games. but it should be able to handle 5th gen consoles (saturn, ps, n64) just fine, but 6th gen (dc, ps2, gamecube) will depend on what game you're running and may require tweaking the settings. ps3 is right out, I'm afraid.

Like I said, I mainly run older stuff, so double check what I'm saying if 5th and 6th gen games are important to you. I don't really mess with those.

If you want a handheld, Anbernic makes some good stuff. https://anbernic.com/ They do tend to load the SD card up with games beforehand, but the card is cheap & likely to fail, and the games are sorted & titled strangely (and may be otherwise dodgy). So you probably want to replace it with your own card with games you sourced yourself.

Huge and widespread, yet low-quality and ineffective. Kind of disturbing and amusing at the same time.

Not to be That Guy, but I LOVED the catcher in the rye as a teenager. It spoke to my angsty teen heart.

Legitimately never thought of using a lightsaber to, well, light anything. Like set something on fire. They melt stuff, though, so I guess they're pretty hot.

Yeah man, you tell 'em.

How unsurprising. There will be no consequences for the federal government, even if this information should become common knowledge.

Also, here's an AI generated summary, as I felt the article was a bit bloated.

The article discusses how excessive choice can lead to anxiety and indecision among consumers, a phenomenon known as the "paradox of choice." The concept of a perfect solution to a problem, known as the "Nirvana fallacy," is debunked, highlighting the idea of "satisficing" – choosing a good enough option rather than the absolute best. The author suggests that randomness, such as flipping a coin, can help overcome choice-induced analysis paralysis by simplifying decision-making. Experiments conducted by researchers at the University of Basel showed that participants who used a coin flip to aid their decision-making were three times more likely to be satisfied with their choice and less likely to seek more information. The article emphasizes that the coin flip doesn't force decisions but encourages thorough consideration of options. Ultimately, using randomness in decision-making can facilitate quicker and more confident choices for those who struggle with making decisions.
