2005 was 18 years ago. Damn.

Recently playing Child of Light. The game has this autosave system that whenever you use a skillpoint or craft an oculi (gives attributes) by accident, it just saves then and there. Kinda fucked me up often

Currently using my hand-me-down vita from my bro, jailbroken and set up with the slew of homebrews and plugins. I ordered two Anbernic devices two weeks ago but honestly vita is just an emulation heaven, the hardware and button layout is perfect for playing Kirby games. One downside is that my left analog started having drifting issues. Plugins like retroVita works to some extent, other than disabling the stick completely.

I'm open to any advice for fixing it aside from replacing it completely (Im living remotely so I don't have access to a good fixer and I don't really trust myself to do on my own)

We had a lot of joystick drifting with that model, me and my bros, tho frankly it was a hand-me-down from our cousin and he said he dropped it once. Do be mindful of that and keep a spare joystick 'round for repairs, by you or a respectable electronics repairer.

So does it mean in wired electronics sometimes when there is a short you need to wait it out after a good amount of use?

Nah. Don't remember the model number but they are very very basic ones.

Yea the cstick. Is it that good tho? Idk if it's meant to be a pointer or a right analog stick, never used such a thing.

Mine as well. Same internals as new 3ds, more rugged and rounded design and no cluttery layout. Plus being the newest model means it being less worn out potentially especially when you buy it second hand

Actually tried that. Still works.

I thought there would be some crackles, too. Really tried bending the endpoints near the phones and the jack but still works.

I mean Im glad it works again. My danky philips had the mike unit torn into half so... I should be more easy towards my electronics i guess

Well I ain't much of a grown up inside so I wouldn't bat an eye.

That's the thing. I have long ass fingers that gets cramped up so easily with small form factors.

I get that. Yet for a reason some people actually appreciate the small screen size and form factor. Some folks are avid users of small handhelds like rg nano or miyoo mini for their smallness.

Thanks a lot mates. I will probably get a 2ds since there aren't a lot of listings where I live and electronics are generally expensive. Appreciate the massive feedback
