This super slim Steam Deck Folio looks like a nice way to protect your Deck screen without adding bulk. Adds a kickstand and also works with the dock -- Kickstarter just went live this morning. www.kickstarter.com/projects/are...

New video! The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is a tablet/laptop hybrid with true next-gen performance; it rivals laptops with discrete mobile GPUs, and is a fascinating look at what future handhelds can do. But with a $2k+ starting price, it's not for mere mortals: youtu.be/yodXvO518jE

This is hilarious: someone made a little Game Boy game dedicated to the retro handheld community, and it's chock-full of little Easter eggs. Grab the ROM here (free, or name your own price): madsoxgames.itch.io/retro-handhe...

Even after all these months, I STILL can't decide between the Steam Deck OLED and the ROG Ally X (dual-booting Bazzite/Windows). I flip flop between each of them constantly. Both are nearly perfect for my typical usage, and I'd be happy with either one. Which do you prefer?

Here's a look at two new devices teased by Retroid (arriving this Spring). The larger one looks to be a Retroid Pocket Flip 2, I would guess it's a clamshell Retroid Pocket 5 (same screen and chip). The one in the background is interesting: either a vertical handheld or a GBA SP style clamshell.

This is the MagicX Mini Zero 28, the latest mini handheld but with a quirk: it ships with Android! This makes it surprisingly fun (and sometimes frustrating to navigate), and opens up a world of possibilities in this small form factor. Full review: youtu.be/eXAziPF9YS0

The kind folks at @retrohandhelds.bsky.social are compiling user inputs for a potential (and unconfirmed!) successor to the Retroid Pocket Flip, to share with Retroid once complete.

Seeing lots of questions about US tariffs on handhelds, especially because the de minimis exception (which previously allowed the 25% tariff to not apply to handhelds) is suspended. With the additional 10% increase, we are potentially looking at a 35% increase in handheld prices.

Small victory -- the first copyright strike on my channel has now expired, and the next one will be gone before the end of the month. It's nice to no longer have a "2 of 3 strikes, you better watch it bub" reminder on my frontpage every time I log into YouTube.
