"I think children just weren’t ready to make those kinds of decisions"
So despite me knowing nothing about them. I have decided to make it for them.

Nope. I don’t carry keys. A phone, a minimalist wallet, and mini handheld fit with plenty of room to spare.
So you have plenty of room, but simultaneously cannot fit a clip-controller in your pocket? I take it you don't carry a back pack either, that would just be ridiculous lol.
Such a weird argument "If you don't carry keys for some reason, you can instead fit a handheld console in your pocket" or you can just have a backpack or use one of these things (which also fits into your pocket and will allow you to turn your phone into a much better gaming device):
There are plenty of devices like this and combined with your phone you can now play a lot more games, at higher resolutions with upscaling to combat the lack of dithering and get better frame rates... Oh and it will fit in your pocket and will be able to connect to a new phone when you get one, its future proofed.
Ok so you ignored half of what I said in my previous comment, just going to assume you are admitting you have no real argument when it comes to these points. But moving on..
it fully boots in 5 seconds, there is no bloat to speak of.
So does an app.
it holds PSX, N64, Dreamcast, SNES, GBA, GB and MAME games.
Not PS2/Xbox/GameCube era consoles/games... Why not?
And it didn't cost me $100, I paid $50, an almost insignificant outlay.
Not including the cost of the sd card right. Meanwhile a phone you already own has $0 outlay and does more.
Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I'll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn't doable.
Personally I never felt the use of a clip or some other mounting system was that bad or wobbly, i certainly don't feel it's so bad that I had to spend money on a device with limited functionality (or a downgrade) just to manage that problem. Seems like backwards thinking or a bad solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.
Which is exactly the point I'm making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it's more of a problem.
Which leads to my point. Why did you spend so much money on a device with such functionality if you are worried about using it? For the cost of one of these handhelds you can buy multiple battery packs/portable chargers and actually use the expensive phone you carry around with you at all times.
Honestly if your phone dies that fast check your battery as it could be dying.
While certainly my ROG phone plus gamesir is enough to even emulate this gen's handheld games. It cannot beat playing a gba game on an Anbernic rg35xxsp.
Could you give a reason?
Second is that some owns a low tier or a very old phone and they don't want to throw it away because it still works perfectly fine.
My old iPhone 4 from 2010 could run n64 emulators just fine, low tier phones from the last 10 years can do pretty much everything this thing can do and a used one is definitely cheaper... Additionally if this strawman you have invented cannot afford a phone from the last 10 years they definitely cannot afford this thing.
Then there is that storage issue. Some newer phones today no longer have an sd card slot for expandable storage.
An SD card that can store all the PSP/N64/Dreamcast games would have to have more than 1tb of storage and cost anywhere from 180 to 700 bucks online... What world are you living in that this is a viable solution to the poor man who cannot afford a second hand phone.
What you are trying to argue here is that a niche luxury device is a solution to someone with limited income, and you are doing it with a straight face whilst arguing with someone that presents a cheaper/free option. Do you see an issue with that?
I’m worried about the boys of my community who think that they could become women because they’re effeminate, care, and they like wearing makeup, and they like wearing drag.
Ah, so attacking someone and making a scene is going to fix this how...?
So you walk around with your keys, phone, wallet and a console in your pockets at all times… just carry a bag or a backpack.
If you really do carry all that shit with you i can imagine you look like this
A d-pad with tactile buttons
What console controller doesn't have that? Plus they tend to fit your hands. This thing looks like a portable hand cramp.
a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons.
In what way does andriod or iOS limit your ability to run emulators? Micro SD cards are nice, but total over kill for some N64/Dreamcast roms.
Maybe for PSP games but only if you wanted all of them all the time, and that totals over 1.4 TB of storage, an SD card that can store all that is anywhere from double to 5 times the price of this handheld... What a great feature!
These retro handhelds are a self-contained package that can easily slip into a pocket.
Do you slip it into your pocket next to your phone?
And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn't.
Its functionality is fine, but your phone can do everything this thing can do and more for free since you already own it. The best argument people can make is about the controls which is such an easy problem to solve and often can be done with devices you already have; This $100 thing is an overly niche gimmick.

When our living conditions deteriorate gradually, we adapt to these conditions instead of fixing of them. But sudden threats get sorted out immediately.
Coal has done far more damage than nuclear energy ever will, but coal has over 2300 stations worldwide and nuclear has 400.
A perfect example of the 'Boiling Frog Syndrome'.
Feels like a hint in a game level. The bright light indicates the path forward; Maybe there is a secret nearby.
Big businesses wont lift a finger to halt global warming, but the second their precious copyrights are attacked they go into full force.
We have reviewed the footage and concluded we didn't do anything wrong. The officer is now on paid leave (nice vacation) and any damages caused will be paid for by the tax payers.
We now consider the matter closed.
Huge /s just in case.

You see, Ukrainians have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down - Putin.
Watch as they still milk them to death.
They cannot improve these games, give them meaningful updates or expansions. But they have killed many of their competitors and further monopolised the industry.
The second Microsoft gains a market majority in the gaming industry they will employ as many scummy tactics as possible to wring every cent out of people.
Baby toss now has a chance to crit.
Yeet your baby to really build those relationship points!
If only selfies existed back then. He would have turned around to see John Wilkes Booth coming.
Pay Samsung money to monitor your BMI, food intake, calories and dietary requirements; What an offer!
Fuck it, next year get the galaxy dildo, only $499.00 or $699.00 for the Ultra version.
Fun fact, no one in Australia has died from a spider since 1979.
We offer choices. But, we will continuously revert your choices whenever we can.
I disabled Cortana, windows updates itself so we re-enabled it for you.
I disabled Edge as my default browser, windows re-enables it for me... choices!
I disabled the stupid search online via Bing feature... guess fucking what! Re-enabled.
If Xbox ever gains majority market share your choices go out the window. What he should say is we offer the illusion of choices.

Good people of the Imperial City, welcome to the Waffle House! Who will prevail, the Pit Dog from the Yellow Team, or the Pit Dog from the Blue Team? Let's find out! Open the store!

So a quick run to McDonald's is off the cards then.
Its like a Goldeneye character model
Who wants to bet they apply some cheap fix and call it repaired.
We can't tell you off for taking a moment to look at your phone or for wearing headphones unless you are in the office; this is how we justify our positions.. so despite the economic, environmental and quality of life improvements we are demanding you return so we can continue to justify our pay and position.
Also fuck you, and get in your cubicle bitch
The company said it wants to be “more selective and focused in the allocation of development resources”, and as a result of the “close examination”
Hate company gibberish like this. We plan to spend money differently... Somehow, but were planning!
Additionally Square needs to stop releasing games exclusively to a single platform, no wonder Rebirth sales haven't been released as many (including myself) are waiting for the PC release.
Mainly waiting for PC release so I can use mods to shut Chadley up, and turn off all the anime grunting.
That summons my Dark Magician.
Molasses economics 101 /s
It's no different than putting famous people in movie voice acting roles. If they can voice act well it works (Eartha Kitt as Yzma) but often it's just a sad attempt at generating hype (Chris Pratt as Mario).
Speaking of aging, does anyone remember Kevin Spacey in Call of Duty? That aged well right gang!
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
Well the internet is for porn!

Some people feel pressured to fill silence, often saying nothing is better than talking shit. I'd rather hangout with people who speak when they have something to say rather than people who have nothing to say and won't shut up.
Very few third-party games remain exclusive to one platform forever.
Yes. But when they stay exclusive it's the worst.
Still waiting for Bloodborne to be available on PC; most likely will be waiting until I can emulate it.
This just screams to cops, pull me over!
We had reason to believe you are on meth, so we are going to perform a search of your vehicle and perform like 8 drug tests on you.
