I just wanted a pocketable device, so I decided to pick Mini over 5.

Originally, I wanted to order the white color but ended up choosing the black one because it makes the bezels and pillar boxes blend into the case. It also looks like a small SteamDeck πŸ˜…

When I'm not programming, I'm playing GTA III on it and earning RetroAchievements πŸ˜ƒ

With SteamDeck

GTA III

Nice how are you liking it?

What are you going to use it for? It has portmaster I believe?

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not OP, but I inquired on the PortMaster Discord and they said it’s not supported just yet. Should only be a matter of time before it is.

Since it's running Android, it might not even need Portmaster. You can run Windows games via Winlator. The chip in this thing isn't bad, so it should be able to run most 2D games no problem

My thumbs hurt just looking at those thumbsticks...

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's the only reason I don't plan on getting one of these types of devices. I've got giant hands and anything that fits in my pocket like that is going to require me to angle my thumbs nearly against my palms to use the sticks 😭

Does this have hall sticks?
