Any one of you based individuals wanna redpill on the Retroid 2's capabilities?

Like reciting specs off a website or actually hands-on? For the latter you’ll have to wait a few weeks.

I'm too low IQ for specs. Tell me how it feels when you get it.

Specs really aren't enough to go on these days with this type of thing.

2 Ghz quad core processor
4 GB RAM

Can you do decent SNES emulation with the above specs? On a desktop, yes. On a cell phone?

Most of the decent handhelds are supposed to emulate 8- and 16-bit stuff just fine. The better ones do PSX just fine, too. Its N64 and Dreamcast (though never super well) that are the jewels in the crown of the best handhelds. But I’ll know for sure in a few weeks.

Here’s a review:

I’m waiting for the next Anbernic product before upgrading mine. (I have an RG350. It handles everything up to PS1 pretty well. No DC, N64, or PSP, though.)

Started watching 30 Rock. So far loving Alec Baldwin's character, hoping it does not get too old too quick.

Seems like my first Myst video did really poorly. But then again, ambitious and self-indulgent stuff never does well. Shame because that stuff tends to be more fun to make

Eh, no worries there. Make stuff for yourself first and foremost. The right people may see it or not, but if you enjoyed it, and one other person enjoys it, then you have completely succeeded.

There seems to be no pattern to why some channels pick up and others do not, sometimes you find great channel with low subscribers and other times you find some lo wife channel with millions of subscribers. I do not mean to hate on the guy, and I never watch his videos, but what I understand PewDiePi has 110M subscribers just because he plays game and runs around screaming "PewDie" or whatever...

I actually mostly watch small YouTubers now because they just come across as more natural and sincere.

I really like the following: GeorgGreat, AdventureGameGeek (we're planning to do a collab some time this year), BastichB 64k, and Retrobreak. For bigger ones there's Happy Console Gamer, PeteDorr, and Rerez.
