Is Anybody On Here Into Handhelds?

March 28th, 2026

Is anybody on here into handhelds? I really started getting into handhelds in 2023, I believe. I started off with a pretty weak one, and it didn’t work that well. After that I started looking for handhelds that were good quality. I wound up getting an Anbernic RG 353M, and a Retroid Pocket 3+. I was completely blown away by how fun they were.

Ever since then, I have been into handhelds ever since. I have been collecting them for some time now. I have gotten quite a few of them. I have purchased all kinds of them. As a reward to myself for passing my classes, I got the Valve Steam Deck, and it was raw. After getting my Valve Steam Deck, I got the ASUS ROG Ally. That thing was very powerful, and nice. After a while, I couldn’t stop buying them.

A lot of the handhelds that I have are very, very, powerful. Some of my most favorite handhelds come from a company named AYN. I remember when I first got the Ayn Odin 2. I was addicted to playing that; with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2 chip. That thing could play any retro game. It can especially handle Sony PlayStation 2 emulation. Almost every time a new handheld came out, would end up buying it. I have been collecting them ever since.

I say, that I have around 40 handhelds as of late. I recently got the MSI Claw 8 Ai+, and it’s pretty nice. However, I also purchased the ASUS XBox ROG Ally X, as well as the Lenovo Legion Go 2, and I love both of them. I like the fact that they can play Doom: The Dark Ages with absolute smoothness. I have bought quite a few handhelds this year. I think that I am done for the time being; with the most recent ones that I purchased being Anbernic RG 477V and Anbernic RG 477M. I also bought the Retroid Pocket 6, and the Retroid Classic.

I will always be a fan of Retro gaming, and I will always try to get the latest handheld. However, I will say this, with the rising prices of RAM, storage, and CPUs, it may be a little while before I purchase another. Unless, I have the money to spare.

I recommend to anyone reading this, to pick up a retro handheld. You can get good ones from Anbernic, GoRetroid, or Ayntec, to name a few places to buy one. There are several more places to get a handheld. However, these are the ones that I recommend.

Believe me, you won’t regret it.

That is all.
Black Men, Pick A Skill.

March 24th, 2026

If there is one thing that I am aware of, as a black man, is the need for black men to pick a skill in this world. It is very important to pick a skill, and stick with it, for your entire life. Picking a skill will protect you in this racist society. You will find yourself not focusing on the world around you, but totally on yourself. When I was younger, when I first moved to California, I was absolutely dumbfounded by all of the racism that I experienced out here in Oakland. I came from a small city in Virginia, and even though there was racism that existed out there, it was absolutely NOTHING like the racism I experienced in Oakland, CA. Back where I was at, it was, largely, nothing but two major ethnic groups: Black and White. There were other ethnic groups out there, but there really weren’t that many. I never thought that I would ever experience racism like I did in Oakland when I was a kid. I wasn’t prepared for it. It really shocked me when I went out in Oakland, and people would pat their pockets when they saw me coming. People wouldn’t get in the elevator with me when I was at school–and everywhere else. People were blatant in the racist things that they uttered out of their mouths. Women would run from you, when they saw you coming, and many other things that I experienced out there. Where I was from, I had quite a few white friends. However, when I moved to Oakland, I moved right into a class and caste system that proved to be very taxing on body and soul. To survive this racist environment, I began to focus on one thing: Computers. I put my entire focus on all things personal computing. I began to get really good at building computers, and learning this skill protected me from the harmful effects of racism. I also went on to graduate from college, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I made sure not to let anything stop me. Me picking a skill in computers shielded me from all types of bad stuff. It also kept me out of trouble. There were times where I was so depressed due to racism, that I almost became a bum due to depression. However, I wasn’t going to let this society defeat my a$$. I urge every black man reading this blog post, to make sure to pick a skill, and stick with it for the rest of your life; as it could possible save your life from this doomed society.

That is all.
