PC gaming has a pricing problem, and the memory crisis is compounding it in a way that's utterly heartbreaking for our hobby (www.pcgamer.com)

My solution? SBC gaming! A customizeable console with a ton of cool games in the palm of your hand! Don't like the os? Swap the SD card and boot another! Vertical orientation, horizontal, with or without analog sticks, so many models to choose from! Weird factor forms! Half baked software! Fuck up your emulator configuration and spend the rest of the afternoon unfucking it! Realize you spent more time tinkering with the device than playing games on it! A time sink for all ages and genders!

You joke, but this, unironically.

I am a bit tongue-in-cheek here but I genuinely enjoy SBC gaming. It has re-kindled the spark that I had for videogames.
