I miss pc gaming (been a few years) but I don't miss the cost of always upgrading. Cirrent rig is going on six years old and it's time... This actually seems promising.

Never show her when it arrives. A month later, it just naturally integrates into your other electronics. "Did you buy another handheld?" "Nah, had this for a while now"
Ah yes, the Lucy Ricardo method. Works every time.

FFS, I paid for the HotStock premium, and I still keep missing the stock alerts for the Portal. Some crap that the insta-buy feature is iOS only.

Was having issues with my Portal for a little while. Was not able to use it in my apartment at all without constantly being disconnected from my PS5. Tried bringing it to my parent's house and trying it on their much faster wi-fi, still could not establish any sort of usable connection. My apartment wii-fi has always been god awful, so I figured the Portal was a good excuse to revamp my home network. I was able to use my Portal in my living room with absolutely 0 issue and playedd a few hours of Mafia II while watching the Knicks game

for what though? I mean if it's for switch/ps4 etc I don't mind if someone doesn't have a PSP and wants to physically own it for their switch or something.
I don't buy much from LRG but when they hit on a game I want I appreciate their existence. As far as P3. I'm waiting for P3 Reload hopefully on switch 2.

For releasing a physical of a very old version of a game that’s getting a major upgrade in a few weeks at premium prices- again. They’ve strayed pretty far from their mission statement of preserving digital games as physical- releasing games that already exist as physical and coat tailing off an upcoming release. They’re pretty much a heavy dose of high priced shovelware with the occasional re-release of an already existing physical title. They suck. Their take loads of money up front on tons of titles and ship them way down the road model just feels pretty shady too. He said it was just to cover “costs” back when he frequented the boards- you’d be a fool to believe that. Investing 101-

Yeah if the owner is a piece of crap, I'm not gonna argue that. I can probably count the LRG in my collection that I've kept on one hand. But I do appreciate having those as part of my switch collection. Not going to defend LRG in any way.

Figure I’d see if anyone following this topic would be interested in a Legion go. I’m kinda on the fence about letting it go, it to be honest… but have the urge to try something new.
Would be interested in PayPal or a PS5 disc version bundle (haven’t owned a PS5 yet). PM if interested.

the Steam Deck chiak4Deck app was updated recently for Remote Play for PS5 and it's even better than the last update. Not sure why anyone wants a Portal. You can even user Bluetooth devices on it.

The intended market probably doesn’t have a steam or gog etc library. Makes more sense to pay for what you use instead of a premium for portability in a technically handicapped and almost obsolete “pc” not to mention these things aren’t exactly plug and play- as easy as it is some can’t configure them.

If you can put together furniture or Legos, you can install Chiaki4deck.

I am not going to spend double on a Steam Deck or more on a Legion Go for something the portal does amazingly well for half the cost. I do t use it as much as I thought, but I am still very glad I have it. Right now buying a Steam Deck or other portable PC would be a complete waste. I want to build a PC, not something amazing but something I can play Supreme Commander 2 and it's new spiritual successors or Anno. I am not playing any of those games on a smaller Mobile screen. Even in docked, may as well have a PC that's easy for my wife to use.
The Portal has a market and is still hard as hell to find. I have yet to see one on store shelves...

Man, even when I happen to be on my phone as a HotStock notification goes off ... it's still too late.
I deserve it, for returning, idiot.

Yeah, user here. He had a reasonable price so I figured I should jump on that.

Confirmed. I need to figure out how to get the touchpad working, but other than that, it was a fairly painless process.
