Because I’m stupid and bitter about missing out on a whopping $15 off for the Retroid 6, now I’m considering the Ayn Odin 2 Portal. But reading that the company is sketchy about delivery. It arrives whenever they feel like it. Or doesn’t. Who can say.

Why the Portal 2?  I know people still like it, but it's kind of dated now.

Why the Portal 2?  I know people still like it, but it's kind of dated now.

Base model is a relatively inexpensive $250 and, to my understanding, it has enough power for what I’m after. I don’t care much about Switch, PC games, or early (?) Wii U and PS3 android emulators.

And I’ve been on the fence about the size. Yesterday I was surprised to see the KONKR Pocket FIT in a store. That was another device I had on my mind. But it was honestly cramped for me and it’s said to be more comfortable than the retroid 6. So maybe the Odin 2 Portal is a better fit.

A few hours later…

I ordered. I go on Amazon to reorder the same 1tb microsd that’s in my steam deck. It’s well over 3x what I paid. What.

I have lots of 512s around. I’ll use those.
