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 😅

When I’m not programming, I’m playing GTA III on it and earning RetroAchievements 😃

    I remember when my 300mhz desktop PC growing up was able to serve 10-15 fps in GTA 3.

    Being able to run it at a small probably not too expensive device is truly amazing.

      And that’s via emulation!

      It’s possible to run GTA 3 and VC natively thanks to Re3 and ReVC decompilation projects even on sub-50$ handhelds!

      It’s great, I didn’t measure it, but I never felt like I need to charge it too often.
