    I completed a build a couple of months ago:

    • ASRock X670E Steel Legend
    • Ryzen 7 7800X3D
    • 128 GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo
    • Nvidia RTX 4090 Founders Edition
    • Bunch of NVMe storage
    • Fractal Design Meshify 2

    I mostly emulate stuff or play 2D games, otherwise I’m working through my boomer shooter backlog.

      Something about GBA on a PSP just feels right. That was my first emulation handheld, recently found a nice condition original thicc model and jail breaking that thing has been so simplified. I remember needing a paperclip last time I did that

    I got myself a cheap emulation handheld and haven't booted up my PC since July. If it doesn't fall apart, it would take me years to finish what I have stored on it.

      Do you not need to do like... productivity stuff?

      I had a period of like 2 years where I mostly played GBA, SNES, and PSX games on one - super fun. A slightly bigger one with more ergonomic controls and maybe PS2 and NGC support would be perfect

        I really appreciate the steam deck for that

      That era was a sweet spot because developers had enough power for complex games and decent graphics, but limited enough that they couldn't drown their art department in graphics fidelity.

      Common misconception—Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Games released in 2004

      I think most people would argue that at least when it comes to console games, the peak was attained a little later, in the PS2 era
