  • The crazy thing to me is how much I love this device. I was sent a Odin 3 Max to review toward the end of last year, which is by all metrics a far, far more powerful and capable handheld. But using them side-by-side, Retroid just nails that ‘fun’ feeling and aesthetic that the more mature designs and looks miss (if that makes any sense?!)

    It is truly a lovely handheld, and you’d know that with the G2! My friend from Retroid told me they do hope to bring them back, one day, but who knows how that’ll go with current market conditions :(

    ^ That sparkling color in the front glass front is just perfection!!!

    Which color G2 did you opt for?

    Oh come on. I don’t even know you, but I know you’re better than this kind of comment on here. It doesn’t make you appear smart. Or cool. Or funny. It makes you look like a jerk.

    This was a review about a ‘retro handheld’. It is a very specific product in a pretty damn specific field. I actually thought my statement, in the context of that review, was obvious to anyone. I guess you’d prefer to get hung up on semantics. Of course the Vita plays the Vita’s entire library, do you actually think I didn’t know that? I find that incredible if so.

    When looking at retro handhelds, none do. When you look at the most powerful desktop PC, none do. Were you taking that one short tiny little throwaway line literally because English is a second language to you? I can understand if so, since it is for me also. Sometimes English can be tricky that way, things you might want to take literally are not so.

    If not, you’re just getting hung up on the most ridiculous little line. Don’t be like this in the future, especially here on Lemmy, this is more of a community than other places online, this trashy Discord/Reddit nastiness doesn’t belong here.
