You are not the judge as to what is or what is not a “real argument”.

An appmay boot up in 5 seconds but android devices and iOS do not. I go from power off to gaming in 5 seconds.

But look who is talking about ignoring previously made points… I repeat, I like to keep my phone off when at my leisure and I prefer not the drain the battery for frivolous activities, especially when traveling.

It plays the systems that I want, hence why I purchased it. You are under no obligation to do so. I’m still not sure why this device and others like it have you so agitated.

Only kids? I know some very shallow grown folks with kids of their own.

I am able to install lean, custom linux based OS onto the device which I much prefer to either android or iOS - it fully boots in 5 seconds, there is no bloat to speak of. I had a 256GB card which I have now put to use in this device - it holds PSX, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, GBA, GB and MAME games. More than enough to keep me entertained on any road trip. And it didn’t cost me $100, I paid $50, an almost insignificant outlay.

A d-pad with tactile buttons, a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons. And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn’t.

No. I bought the predecessor for $50. Money well spent. I keep my phone off, I save battery life for when I do need to use my phone and I have 256GB of dedicated (and removal/replaceable/upgradable) storage to old school gaming. I am a very casual gamer, I do not want to carry a PS4/5 controller on my travels - my primary purpose for purchasing such a device.

Besides the screen how is this better than the RG35XX series?

Some of us like to put our phones away or turn them off entirely during our leisure. Also, I don’t want touch screen controls when playing ps1 games.

If more people actually read the Bible there would probably be fewer xtians.

Dreamcast is still my favorite console of all time.

I’m not a huge pizza person but paid $30 for a 9 inch from a pizzeria in Chicago a couple of months ago. It was tasty so I didn’t mind but it did seem quite a bit higher than the last time I had pizza.

I’d never give Domino’s that much for a pizza though, from what I recall their offerings are subpar.

Depends on the location and the number of people in your party. Sometimes it does work out cheaper to rent an apartment or even a house instead of several hotel rooms. Kitchen space is always a boon, I’m rarely impressed by overpriced restaurant fare and prefer to cook for myself when possible. It can also be helpful if you’re traveling with pets.

Depends on the distro but you are largely right. You can easily use Linux Mint or Ubuntu without being familiar with the cli.

You are not too dumb to learn Linux. If I learned how to use it then you can. Start with with something simple and easy to install such as Linux Mint or Ubuntu and you will inevitably learn more as you go on. If you can read, type, point, click and observe then you have all the skills required to install the aforementioned distros.

That depends on where you live. The Internet Archive is far more accessible than a good library, for much of the global populace.

And my point is that maybe they should have established a market by releasing a cheaper model first.

You mean they’re doing what everyone said they should have done to begin with - release an affordable consumer product that will in turn attract more developers?

Teaching English to non-native speakers will fully open your eyes as to how broken and outright ridiculous the English language is. “To” and “too”. “Through” and “threw”…

I’ve been using a 6 since it’s release, it’s been solid for me. The 7 is slightly sleeker/smaller but they’re almost identical in performance.

America…

Another one…
