It’s just a smaller, folding form factor. It’s better at protecting your screen and buttons, but if it’s anything like the GBA SP it’s based on, that hinge is a potential breakage point. Your trading off one kind of durability for a whole new vulnerability. Having said that, I loved my GBA SP and in only got broken because it got misplaced and sat on while it was folded open.

Yeah, the Anbernic RG35XX is under $70 and the RG35XX+ is about $80. Those are super solid choices!

RG353V has served me incredibly well. Works great for systems up to Dreamcast. Plays most PSP games well. Plays DS and earlier Nintendo handhelds perfectly, though I strongly recommend using Arkos if you touch support in the Linux frontend.

Megaman Legends 3.

But only when combined with lightning.

My bad. I misread your statement entirely as applying to conservatives and missed the whole “coalition of progressives and” part. I guess my own reactive bullshit was engaged ahead of my critical thinking there. Your points are valid and I was apparently just looking for an argument there.

And by “keep the rights that they have” they mean virtually unrestricted access to firearms and the right to discriminate against anyone they want protected by a thing guise of “religious freedom” that also magically protects them from discrimination of any kind.

Now the GOP is really hating Mexico.

Then why is the bill about DIVESTMENT of Tiktok from Chinese ownership? The operation headquarters are in Los Angeles and Singapore. I’m beginning to think you don’t know what you’re talking about.

60% of ByteDance is owned by global investors, most of which are based in the US. 20% is owned by the original co-founders, none of whom have any ties to the CCP, and the remaining 20% is owned by employees, almost all of which are in California. The overwhelming majority of the company is already owned by Americans. This entire thing is all about trying to silence a source of information that challenges and refutes government interests, particularly where Palestine is concerned.

You do know that the overwhelming majority of investment and control in TikTok is already based in the US, and the only Chinese national involved with the app was the creator who already cashed out and retired a long time ago?

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Metroid II really did the groundwork for what Super Metroid perfected? I don’t think SM would have flown to the heights it has had Metroid II not taken the risks it did.

It really was a masterwork in that regard. I really see a lot of the creative genius of that era revolving around working around hardware limitations. Metroid II really did make me rethink what the Game Boy was really capable of back then. How it managed to play so well when the Castlevania games struggled to resemble their NES counterparts really told a pretty telling story in its own right.

Edit: that is a lot of "really"s.

It really was the most ambitious game on the Game Boy. And that final boss battle…

I’d argue Echoes was better in just about every way. It built on everything they made Prime great, while managing to improve on the things that needed improved. I love the whole Prime trilogy, but Echoes felt like it was the best in the series.

Obviously, That Heresy Elicits Ruinous Memories!

I feel like that’s the exact vibe they go for with these. It feels so authentic, too. VGH clearly has a love of both video game history, and that particular era of documentary programming.

Excellent video! If you have the time to watch all of it, do so. The early days of computing were wild!
