The next Ratchet game (phones womp womp) adds a lot of Lombaxes. More than we've seen in the series up to this point. They're so cute!
Lombax that looks similar to ratchet from ratchet and clank one but more aviator themed. A lombax like those from ratchet and clank but they're wearing a stealth suit and have a frosty and edgy theme Another lombax but with dark reddish and orange fur giving off more desert themes in their garb

After finding out the RG DS wasn't going to run melonDS, I thought "If I won't be able to use retroachievements because the RG DS is too weak, may as well resurrect my dsi." New battery, freshly modded, playing Meteos.
Picture of a modded nintendo dsi running meteos from an sd card. It's sitting on a yellow display stand and that's on a large desk mat covered in rainbow colored dogs and art.

At least it's ergonomic now... and came with a stand.
Oh gosh, where do I start? It's a switch 2 with its joycon in silicone grips that cover the entire joycon. The switch 2 is in a harder plastic case. This is all on a yellow electronic's stand with two amiibo, one of isabelle and one of digby. Basically yellow girl dog and boy brown dog. I bought her to put in a jar for a one off gag. Now I own amiibo festival which leaves me feeling depression beyond compare. The silicone on the right joycon is brown at the top with yellow at the bottom, the yellow is lumpy like a cloud then has a bowtie and piece of confetti on it. The brown part has a pawprint at the bottom then the a b x y buttons are covered by the silicon that has clouds for A and Y and on x and b are stars. The plus button is a four pointed star. the top right has a little bear ear. The analog stick also has a thumbstick cap with a little bear in a beret on it with his little arms folded in front of him. The left joycon is similar, what with the yellow part and the littler ear. The stick cap is the bear but it's winking with it's paws on its face. The yellow part has an outline of a bear's head with a confetti. The buttons have four pointed and 8 pointed stars. The back of the aforementioned device. The back shows the hard case better and it's of a brown case with darker brown stars. Then the foreground depictsa bear dressed as a bee sleeping on a black and yellow striped honey pot. with flowers around it. The pot is dripping with honey, that bear is not going to be happy when it realizes it will have to shave to get that honey out. There are also bees flying about. Across the top is gooey drippy honey with star ornaments hanging down. The back of the joycon can also be seen now. The pattern is thankfully less detailed as this is a lot of typing. The back is the same brown with yellow cloud at the bottom but with little stars engraved throughout the grip. The ergonomics of the cover is there too. Same as before but the joycon are on backwards so you can see the joycon and back case at the same time.

Got a case for my Switch 2, I want to play stuff & I'm tired of playing docked. I'm also tired of it destroying my palm in handheld mode. So I got a skin, so I want to take a moment to highlight how Switch 2 cases are gendered. You have black cases for boys, or this for girls. I got the "girls" one.
Picture of a switch 2 silicone case. It's brown and yellow themed after bears, honey, stars, and bees. It's very cute, the back shows a picture of a bear dressed as a bee sleeping on a honey pot. The front has little false ears at the top. The silicone grip almost makes it unrecognizable as a switch 2.

Even the AI responses are like "...I'm good".
Comment asking me to do reviews for various windows emulators and the automatic responses youtube suggests are "I don't think I'm going to review those, but thanks for the suggestion" and "Sounds interesting but I'll stick to actual retro handhelds for now".

I was asked if I actually use retroachievements. I'm in the top 20% on hardcore. That's not super high, but yeah I use it a bit.
Screenshot of my retroachievements account. It says my name, youtube channel, my points 3696, my site rank 22,000 out of 112,000 which is top 20 percent.

New profile pic, it's my halloween costume. I'm that cool guy with sun glasses. Take your pic of which one. Art by me, of course.

Been on a ratchet grind lately, updated my pfp to reflect that.
Picture of a close up of the face of ratchet from ratchet and clank. The toy has one eye pointing two different directions while having an expressionless face. Like someone asked him to do geometry in his head.

One last hurrah for Ratchet Deadlocked. I used to play this every couple of years. So I 100% it on Retro Achievements as a final goodbye.
Picture of every achievement being unlocked for ratchet deadlocked on the site retroachievements. It took me 38 hours over the course of a month.

You could say I'm famous, I did just get recognized outside of youtube. So I'm kind of a big deal.
someone on reddit talking about how they recognize me from youtube and watched my pico 8 and ayaneo pocket air mini video. Then about how they're planning to get an rg cubexx and a bag to carry it.

Batocera is great but I hate having a keyboard set up for typing in stuff. I need to get me one of these mini wireless keyboards.

Lots of retro handhelds on sale right now but be careful and read fully. Some of them are just sd cards for those handhelds not the handhelds.
Picture of what appears to be a handheld for sale for just 15 dollars in actuality its the sd cards and they show the handheld and list it just to confuse you.

House of Leaves, but you need to be choosey about where you get it. You won't get the full experience if you get a normal print book.

New "entry level" android handheld from ayaneo called code r has revealed itself. It's called the Air Mini and is supposedly a competitor to the RP Mini. 200 bucks doesn't sound competitive. Rather I think this is a competitor to the Mangmi Air which is a $90 handheld. No price yet.
Picture of a retro handheld that runs on android called the ayaneo pocket Air mini.its a 4 3 screen two analog sticks at the bottom that have rgb lighting, four face buttons, a d pad, select, start, menu, and macro button.

I had a brain blast. I've been wanting handhelds to come with wrist strap holes. I thought about getting a headphone jack dust plug and attaching it but then I thought this up. Just put the cord around the screw then screw it in tightly. A wii wrist strap is a little thick for this, but it worked.
Picture of a rectangular orange handheld called the rg28xx, it plays emulators for retro games. Also pictured is a wii wrist strap trailing from behind the device suggesting that it's attached despite the toy not having a wrist strap hole. On the strap is a keychain showing an anthropomorphic alien sheep being abducted by a ufo. The background is a rainbow desk mat showing a shiba inu eating noodles. Same background, same device. There is a hand holding a screw from the device with the wrist strap's cord wrapped around the screw. Back of the device on the same background with the wrist strap being shown as being screwed in.

Anbernic should name their devices after animals. I'm so tired of saying RG28XX, RG Nano, Rg35XX, RGCubeXX, just name them something easy to remember. Like the RG28XX is fast and light so you could call it the cheetah, and it works with the orange version.
picture of an orange color handheld. It looks rectangular with rounded edges like an NES controller. It features a 4:3 aspect ratio screen with a d pad, select and start on the left, mono speaker, and a b x y buttons on the right. Not shown is it's tiny shoulder buttons.

Found a doohickey in my stuff, it's kind of a mystery because no one knows what handheld it is. It doesn't have an SD in it. It's not an anbernic or powkiddy device, but I reverse image searched and it's an RK2020. It might only be 5yrs old but it's from an entirely different era of retro handhelds.
RK2020, a retro handheld from 2020 made in china with the intent to play retro games through emulation. The buttons on the right are concave, the select and start are flush with the shell. The analog stick is surprisingly a full stick, just small. Nintendo style d pad. It's blue transparent plastic with a 4:3 ratio screen. same device but the back of it. Its buttons are labeled and they say R, R2, USB, USB Type C, TV, power, L2, and L.

I picked up a phone grip controller, I was going to get this one gimmicky one. The Atom from Turtle Beach, but the lack of 2 day shipping on Amazon made me go with Gamesir. I have a Tegeneria from Gamesir and enjoy it quite a bit, so I'm sure the X5 lite will be perfectly fine. Details in alt text
Atom by turtle beach, it's a phone grip controller that comes in two parts but slot together like a joycon to be more portable. I liked the gimmick of it but some serial killer put sharp corners at the bottom. Also the lack of 2 day shipping really killed it for me. Also, I haven't used turtle beach since Xbox 360 and they made really bad headsets. Gamesir x5 lite controller, it's telescopic and direct connects via usb c. Sucks that it's not bluetooth because it'll eat my phone's charge. But it has pass through charging so you can charge and play. Hall effect sticks.

New toy is in. I got the RG CubeXX, it's the budget version of the Cube. I have a Retroid 3+ but the 16:9 screen means only PSP looks good on it. I think the 1:1 screen will be perfect considering I play in a variety of aspect ratios. It's going to take a min to set up, I lost my mini SD reader.
Picture of the RG CubeXX a retro emulation handheld used to play games from a variety of older video game systems. It's shown running Pico 8 which is a fantasy console that people make games for. The back of the same device showing that baby's got back. A little dumpy. Some curves. Top of the same device showing it has a mini hdmi, usb C, volume, power, reset, shoulder buttons and ps2 style l2 and r2

My new controller came in, the Gamesir Tegeneria Lite. Great news for Switch 2 owners, it's the cheapest Hall Effect controller on the market AND it works with the Switch 2. $16 on AliExpress or $20 on Gamesir's site. It's not wireless, but it's hard to be that price.
Picture of two controllers shaped like ps1 controllers with analog sticks. One white and one gray. Text above them says "Gamesir Tegenaria Lite, wired symmetric game controller".
