Dude...seriously this was such an enjoy to watch. This is something I've been wanting to get into for a long time and to see it done with minimal experience, honest little mistakes, and giving us a chance to learn from them as you do just makes me want to take that leap. The option of solderless mods is awesome too. Love your energy, enthusiastic curiosity, and calm/humorous demeanor. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing this experience.

What you said about the handheld being enjoyable because it takes you offline really resonated with me. The closest activity I can compare it to is reading a book. It’s kinda weird because spending time on a handheld or scrolling tiktok can both be seen as time wasting activities but with the handheld it doesn’t feel like that. After scrolling I feel a sorta guilt for the time wasted, but I don’t feel any of that after playing on a gba (I also modded my gba which makes me feel more connected to it. And I modded it back when everyone was soldering them so, I do feel a sense of pride just holding it which might be a little silly 😅)
