Retroid Pocket 6

[nova crystal]

the screen not the edges and the plastic

lol

[sly glen]

its a rebadged 7+ gen 3, and from the looks of it there is little to no room for a overclocked gpu unlike the g3x gen 2. the only advantage is out of the box higher version android ? 🤷‍♂️

[exotic siren]

like... people griped for a windows handheld that's small and cheap, and it's -here-

[dawn comet]

But you admit its ugly tho right lol

[mild spear]

They’re the exact same aesthetics as the Thor, Odin 3, and even the older RP5 and Odin 2 Portal.

[nova crystal]

imagine if u got great looks but ur SOC is Snapdragon 480 and a VA Screen

[lethal quiver]

Surely this is bait

[nova crystal]

its not bad. Its similar to PSP

which is one of GOAT handheld

[candid ridge]

It looks a lot like an Odin 2 Mini with dpad top instead

[lament trout]

I rlly don't get the complains about the design

[exotic siren]

nooooo... oh no. this is a waist-deep complaint about x86 handhelds.

[mild spear]

I’ve seen way worse, even from Retroid themselves. This is frankly more than fine.

[lament trout]

it's peak

[dawn comet]

All 4 devices you mentioned look different from each other....

[nova crystal]

same if Im getting it cheaper too lol

[mild spear]

Explain how, now.

[nova crystal]

design is my least priority

[nimble plinth]

I'm confused with the buttons

[lament trout]

I might pre order it

[mild spear]

And don’t just say the obvious for the Thor.

[lament trout]

the pre order price is a steal

[minor ridge]

Is there a big difference between android 13 and 15? I noticed the rp6 has 13 while the G2 has 15.

[nova crystal]

same and the pre order price is fucking good

[mild spear]

I want to know exactly what’s “different” for each of them in actual aesthetics.

[exotic siren]

yeah design is pretty good. color taste, meh? but it looks good.

[dawn comet]

Thats like saying every verticle is just a gameboy clone.

The small details matter

[mild spear]

What small details.

[lament trout]

I'm such a nerd for getting excited over the bottom buttons

[mild spear]

Actually say it.

[nova crystal]

the best thing is it fit easily to my bag so I can alternate between my ALLY and this

[lament trout]

could be great for switching to other apps

[nova crystal]

its gonna be my daily driver

[candid ridge]

Colors might look better or worse in actual photos or footage compared to renders.
These renders never look fully accurate to how the devices or the colors themselves look

[lament trout]

or for using as hotkeys on emulators

[mild spear]

I very clearly cannot see them, so please tell me what I’m missing.

[jovial nimbus]

Your the minority here , the RP6 is ugly period

[lament trout]

like seriously it's gonna be so much better having an individual button for saving and fast forwarding instead of holding down like 3 buttons at once and accidentally doing something ingame

[nova crystal]

so is Odin 2 ugly too and PSP?

but yea you do u. Im ok with it

[mild spear]

Clearly not, given there’s already a bunch of people that are either fine/neutral with it or find it actually looks good.

[lament trout]

it kind of looks like a psp 2

like what id imagine that to look like

[nova crystal]

I think looks is important nowadays in tech devices instead of performance LOL

[full gulch]

Psp street is the worst psp though.

[lament trout]

yeah especially when everything's using the same couple processors

[mellow zinc]

You're not in the minority. The haters are just louder

[nova crystal]

not at this price point

[lament trout]

it doesn't look like a street

[nova crystal]

ur not getting 8Gen 2 at 200$

[full gulch]

Yeah it does.

[lament trout]

every psp had bottom buttons

[mild spear]

No shit, that’s how it works for everything.

[lament trout]

I'm just saying in terms of performance

[rustic bramble]

How do you know it's not using the same screen and they've done their clever hide it behind the bezel trick that they did with the original RP Mini?

[glossy ledge]

people want aesthetic as well..

[nova crystal]

well thats the case in everywhere now, but what would you choose price vs looks to compromise?

[lament trout]

I value aesthetics over performance since it seems like every device on every end of the pricing spectrum uses the same few professors

[jovial nimbus]

Im not judging you and glad your OK with it , most here think it was hit with the ugly stick

[dawn comet]

Uh so you agree its ugly lol?

[lament trout]

I much prefer the aesthetics of the RP6 over the RP5

[mild spear]

In order for the haters to not overpower any other possible sentiments, there would have to be an equally loud and strong sentiment of “I fucking love this design so much! Peak handheld!!!” just to counteract it.

It’s way harder to love something as much as any hater can hate.

[nova crystal]

yea I know its not for all, looks are subjective anyway.

[nova crystal]

I dont see it as ugly, clear case is ugly for me

thats why I dont like anbernic

[dawn comet]

Everyone can have their opinion. Ugly or beautiful...

[glossy ledge]

clear case is ugly... true.. i dunno how people enjoy it..

[nova crystal]

those are ugly for me

[jovial nimbus]

Hey one positive is Retroid saved me some money

[mild spear]

Meanwhile, literally anyone who is completely neutral to it will not give enough of a shit to say “eh, it looks fine” in response, so hate would obviously overpower that.

[rustic bramble]

I wish they would have done a metal version to go head-to-head with the 477m

[nova crystal]

thats the main thing thats why i dont give a shit about the looks lol

[glossy ledge]

rp has always been the cheap version of the console you cannot afford...

[candid ridge]

I'm just gonna be real here and say what no one else is saying, but it's very obvious the people are being overly negative here and are being blatantly reactionary because the device didn't meet the expectations they had regardless of how good or bad the device actually is.

[glossy ledge]

and they deliver

[candid ridge]

I myself won't get this as there's more exciting devices either already out or coming out for me, but this is nowhere near as bad or ugly as it's being claimed to be

[lament trout]

completely agree

I don't see why anyone expected a mini anyway

[eager garnet]

I mean, I'm not a fan of the glassfront still being here, but the thing just looks like an RP5 with bottom buttons to me. So the loud reaction to its looks is a tad weird to me.

I will say I do appreciate that they went with way more colors than just "Black, White, Grey, and 1 Fun color".

[lament trout]

what would it bring to the table

what 4:3 devices exist that the RP mini can't emulate perfectly

[nova crystal]

yea you can please everyone

[lethal quiver]

I haven't seen too much of dramatisations of how ugly it is tbh, it isn't a looker and people are just making note of that

[lament trout]

besides like a few ps2 games

[full gulch]

I think it looks like the psp street instead of the superior 3000. Still buying it though.

[jovial nimbus]

I actually prefer the look of the G2 RP5 but that had its own issues ergonomically

[civic sentinel]

This yellow / black I dub the Bruce Lee edition. I think this is the color I will be going for.. tough to fight against the ice silver color which is similar to the Vita 1000 silver

[mild spear]

Because besides the obvious in how the function buttons on the bottom wouldn’t fit if they did, they would also be having to delete some of the resolution from the screen, and the 6” already was 1080p.

We already know they were already stupid enough to do it the first time with making a 31:27 screen into a non-existent 4:3 screen, but would they really be stupid enough to do the same in an even dumber manner by making a 6” 16:9 screen that already fits into a 5.5” 16:9 screen with the exact same resolution?

[lament trout]

is the G2 literally just an rp5 with an 8 gen 2

[nova crystal]

actually it looks like a switch lite with edge design

curved

[lethal quiver]

Not 8 gen 2 though

[candid ridge]

G2 Gen 2, or basically an overclocked 7 Gen 3 as I understand it

[lament trout]

it honestly looks like a vita but with the psps media buttons

[jovial nimbus]

G2 is comparable to a SD 7+ Gen 3

[sly glen]

i dont think is much room for a overclocked gpu this time, since its pretty close to 1ghz which seems to be the ceiling for those snapdragon chips we seen til now

[nova crystal]

we dont have pre order dates yet right?

[lament trout]

nah I'm talking about the reteoid pocket G2, the designs basically identical to the RP5

[jovial nimbus]

It is the same just a CPU upgrade

[mild spear]

Yup, gotta admit I like the looks of it for that reason. Unfortunately I’ve already got a device pre-ordered that would serve the exact same purpose, so I won’t be getting this.

[lament trout]

what'd you get?

[lethal quiver]

Yes he was just pointing out it isn't a 8 gen 2 it is a g2 gen 2 which is a little different

[sly glen]

its a rp5 with the g2 gen 2 chip, not 8g2

[eager garnet]

Retroid really does like that "spend a little bit more to get a vastly superior chipset" tactic don't they?

[gritty garden]

Sounds konkr

[mild spear]

Both a Thor that’s already shipping and a Konkr Pocket Fit G3 Gen 3 version.

[lament trout]

ahh alright

[eager garnet]

Snapdragon and the stupid naming scheme

Worse than any handheld company imo

[lament trout]

I hope this things ergonomics won't be as bad as the rp5s

[civic sentinel]

Konkr having hair triggers and back buttons is pretty compelling tbh. I would lose out on oled which seems to be the only con between it and rp6

[lament trout]

seriously that things "ergonomic bumps" just made it significantly less comfortable to hold than the rp4

[glossy ledge]

thought it would look like this... i kinda like this design

[civic sentinel]

Well that and konkr has more performance.. but I like 8g2 for turnip compatibility, etc

[eager garnet]

Maybe all of these companies should just stop with the ergo-bumps and include a grip with the handheld.

[lament trout]

I rlly don't get the complaints about the design

do people seriously just want every handheld to look identical to the last

[lament trout]

ur literaly just completely right abt that lmfao

[jovial nimbus]

It's subjective but personally think the row of buttons under the screen throw everything off

It just doesn't look right

[lament trout]

ergonomic bumps on a handheld as small as that doesnt help anything

[quick abyss]

I like the way you think Mofo

[glossy ledge]

it looks 10 years older. lol

[lament trout]

what do you think about the psps design

[eager garnet]

I just think it's a massive overreaction for the most part. Like. To me, as someone that already didn't care much about the RP5 design, the RP6 design just looks like an RP5 with bottom buttons.

[full gulch]

Goated.

Terrible.

[mild spear]

Eh, it’s honestly not even a con in my books, I’m just getting the G3 Gen 3 since I didn’t trust the state of 8 Elite emulation at the time, and the only G3 Gen 3 option at the time was Konkr (there wasn’t exactly an Odin 3 Lite).

As long as the IPS screen is a good quality one, I have no issues with getting that instead of OLED.

[lament trout]

what's wrong with the street

[jovial nimbus]

They were fine for the time but that was 20 years ago too

[jovial nimbus]

Me too

[lament trout]

id say it still holds up

[civic sentinel]

I forget that also with konkr you get 6” instead of 5.5”. Truthfully I’m now being swayed more that Konkr is the better pick here but that’s because I am a huge fan of back buttons for most of my gaming, and having hair triggers is so clutch for streaming, etc, bigger screen size also helps

[full gulch]

no wifi , mono speaker , poor build quality , a smaller battery. The chin draws the eye. Just not a fan.

[lament trout]

people buy these things to put a key chain on and to post on their tik tok accounts for a reason

[mild spear]

Aside from the lack of wireless, the lack of stereo audio, and the fact it was in general quite literally made with cheaper, poorer quality materials? Nothing really I guess…

[lament trout]

(sadly)

[lament trout]

I don't mean feature wise

[sly glen]

konkr won't be 239 (for 8gb) for much longer, so the rp6 still look well priced to me overall, especially with the oled,

[lament trout]

that guys just bringing it into a lot of conversations about the RP6s design

I think the streets design is alright on an aesthetic level it's just a shame everything else sucks about it

[mild spear]

The PSP Street was also worse in build quality.

[civic sentinel]

This is the truth though! It’s like what, $40 more right now? I really gotta process and place an order soon then for konkr if that deal is going away

[mild spear]

Which frankly is the exact reason why I wouldn’t really even mention it in the first place.

[lethal quiver]

Design wise the matte body clashes with the gloss on the row of bottom buttons

[full gulch]

It’s way uglier than the 3000.

[mild spear]

Actually super early bird is still up.

[lament trout]

nah I think a bit of contrast helps

[stone eagle]

@sour sonnet

[full gulch]

You are allowed your opinion. Like I am allowed mine.

[lament trout]

the bottom buttons kind of blend in on my 3k

[full gulch]

Even though you are wrong.

[eager garnet]

Pirate was almost mature for a second there

[mild spear]

So it’s still effectively around $239 for the cheapest option, although it jumps up to like $300 for the next 12/256 option.

[stone eagle]

black/Yellow, 8 gen 2

lets Go!!!!!!

[lament trout]

was that yellow RP5 already a thing?

[stone eagle]

no

[mild spear]

Nope.

[stone eagle]

yellow & Lavender are new

[lament trout]

I hope they don't end up looking ass in person

[full gulch]

And silver. Yellow is best though. It’s what I’m getting. Yellow everything this year.

[stone eagle]

yellow is great when its not that pale ass Miyoo Flip v2 color

[lament trout]

those types of colours kind of have a tendency to look a bit different from their promotional images

[hearty star]

Despite naysaying its selling out lol

[full gulch]

They got better.

[civic sentinel]

Ugh I just saw the yellow one is $300 which really stings a bit as that’s the color I want

[mild spear]

Same, I got the 16gb/1tb option since I wanted the internal storage, but it still sucks that they just had to perfectly copy what Ayn was doing in making the different colorways exclusive to everything but base model.

Oh well, it’s at least better than what they were previously doing.

[hearty star]

It works

not fair but makes people build priorities

[wild reef]

Could somebody tell me which handheld is more "powerful" between the RP6 and the Odin Portal 2?

[mild spear]

Neither, since they’re the same chip.

You could make an argument for the Odin 2 Portal being “better” in battery life since it’s got a bigger battery, but that could easily be counteracted by screen efficiency depending on how much of a power draw this thing’s screen has.

[sly glen]

the d8300 devices really need at least a $50-60 permanent price cut once the rp g2 and rp6 is out, if not more

[hearty star]

Max won't do that

[mild spear]

Yup, both the RP6 and the RP G2 will definitely be better options for the same price range, to the point I’m almost convinced the G2 was made to undercut them with a device that’s both cheaper and still the same overall power, but with Snapdragon instead of Mediatek.

[wild reef]

What's the main difference between these two new handhelds? Not sure I got it

RPG2 is basically a RP5+ while RP6 is different but we don't know yet how precisely?

[desert wolf]

think ima have to pass on these

not a fan of any of the colors

[lethal quiver]

That is no problem, I have the solution

[lethal quiver]

I'll get the Flip 3 in early 2026 frfr (I'll probably see something I don't like about it and wait for the next revision)

[pastel olive]

lmao i just bought an O2P and i was wondering if i'd regret it when the RP6 comes along. i feel fine with my purchase now

more than enough power for a long time for this hobby + android games

[sonic notch]

the code PortalSave$30 still works!

[wild reef]

I have to confess I'm waiting for Odin 3 Portal 👀 Hoping it'll have the same shell and all, and even better power

[sonic notch]

portal launched like a year after the og odin 2, so its gonna be AWHILE, if at all

[wild reef]

But they said the future is now

[glossy ledge]

the future is yesterday

[hearty star]

Anbernic doesn't need to challenge this. They already made their d8300 money

[pastel olive]

anbernic will churn out 10 more xx devices before anyone notices the price on their androids lol

[hearty star]

Ans people are going to get even more sour about t820.

[sly glen]

who else is shocked for several hours 👀
#1351223469873958963 message

[crisp oak]

I guess "underwhelmed" is kinda similar to "shocked".

[mild spear]

At least those who were waiting for literally just a smaller version of the Odin 2 Portal (so basically the same 120hz 1080p OLED but smaller, and same 8g2 chip) are finally happy.

[storm surge]

All 2 of them

[hearty star]

You know what sucks? No side loading anymore

[mild spear]

Nah, there’s definitely a ton of people who were waiting for 8 Gen 2 at the $210-$230 price range (although I’d recommend saving up for the 12/256 option instead).

[mild spear]

The screen is essentially a bonus at that point.

[storm surge]

There will be methods I’m sure

[wild reef]

The RP6 is not that beautiful, well that's how I feel about it

[storm surge]

Sorry just being sarcastic. No it’s like a o2 plus, people will definitely get it at that price

[mild spear]

It’s a better Odin 2 Mini.

[wild reef]

What do you think of this?

[mild spear]

The Odin 2 Mini Plus if you will.

[mild spear]

Kind of dumb since it’s gonna be the same price as early bird G2 (so “why get it instead” and all that jazz).

But hey, maybe they’ll have a store-wide discount that drops the price for older handhelds down like $10 around the same time?

[storm surge]

Oops meant o2 mini, yeah 😗

[wild reef]

I mean, how convenient for them to see Retro Dodo candidly advertise the best thing for them at this point in time

[full gulch]

Oct 9th means they were just clearing out as much old stock as they could. It’s irrelevant now.

[sly glen]

they still have the rp5 on the store for 199 now.. and i think it would be quite dismaying for anyone who bought one the past few weeks after the price drop announcement. especially since the g2 is shipping out soon

[full gulch]

They have a 15 day return policy. They let me return my flip after I had it for months. Their customer service is pretty great since the mini back lash.

[mild spear]

The G2 is literally available for sale now. I’d be surprised if Retro Dodo’s post was actually in any way useful.

[sly glen]

have to pay shipping yourself (since product is not faulty) if am not wrong, which i think is quite alot for most countries

[sonic notch]

their posts havent been useful for like 10 years now lol

[true nexus]

Tbf he made that post in the past, he couldn't have predicted the future

[nova crystal]

I think their phasing out RP5 and will be replaced by G2 instead

[full gulch]

Ah mine was free but it was hinge gate.

[hearty star]

I wonder how the Razer edge is doing

[mild spear]

Not really, from what I can tell it’s usually dependent on the country in question and whether you ship it within the warranty.

[wild reef]

Any idea why they named it 'Retroid Pocket G2' rather than 'Retroid Pocket 5+' like they usually did

[nova crystal]

what I dont understand is disappointed or expecting different button placements on the device. all of their device has the same exact layout

[mild spear]

Probably to emphasize that it’s using the G2 Gen 2.

[nova crystal]

why people expecting their gonna switch it up

[true nexus]

I wouldn't be opposed to a mini v2 g2

[mild spear]

Hell, the function buttons are exactly in the proper place they should be at.

[nova crystal]

and people are disappointed by that

[sly glen]

the rp g2 will probably be the only g2 gen 2 device, especially after qualcomm launch the g2 gen 3 next year . some kind of collector edition

[mild spear]

Not off to the side someplace, nowhere near the actual controls, but also still in a place where you can regularly reach and press.

[quasi creek]

Man it's aggressively... ok....

[true nexus]

People give ayaneo so much flak for the "pocket" naming scheme but retroid isn't much better

[stark solar]

Edited the rp6 design to make the center less cluttered what do you think?

[tired cargo]

Well if even you are not buying immediately they are truly cooked

[nova crystal]

wait so the G2 SOC is somewhat close to performance of RP6?

[quick abyss]

I think the g2gen2 is double of the 865 and the 8gen2 in the rp6 triple of the 865

[slate tusk]

Does the 12gb of ram make a noticable difference here?

[sonic notch]

for regular emulation, no
for things nintendo wants to send ninjas for, also no, but also maybe

[sour pilot]

Kinda bummed the G2s already sold out

[sly glen]

cpu is similar, maybe ~5% gap. gpu has a larger gap, probably 20-30% depending on the final clock speed for the gpu

[sonic notch]

it was listed accidentally, it goes on sale for real the 28th

[slate tusk]

No but maybe? 😭

[sour pilot]

Ah! That makes sense

[sly glen]

#1432179744018796626 message
it is just not live yet... that is always the way they launch them

[sonic notch]

switch and winlator are a shit show, its always a maybe 😄

[sour pilot]

Oh i see. This is my first rodeo

[snow tangle]

Did they make two devices because they weren't confident that ppl would like the psv design change?

[sly glen]

to me this is just like the "odin 2 mini but with oled" that people wanted to AYN to release

pretty similar in size, larger screen, larger battery

[crisp oak]

I like your design better! Just inset the analog sticks a bit and it'd be a darn fine looking machine!

[mild spear]

Lame, I honestly like the buttons in between the speakers.

[snow tangle]

Those bottom buttons only work on the RP2s design wise

[mild spear]

It honestly just feels like it makes more sense for Android buttons to be towards the center of the handhelds body.

[slate tusk]

Yeah agreed

[novel inlet]

Wait for the Odin 3 Mini with this same OLED screen 😆

[keen marlin]

odin 2 mini was miniled though 🤔

[stark solar]

Yeah i think the odin 3 mini is going to do well i imagine they'll go for g3gen3 or 8eleite, this rp6 design just isn't as sleek as the rp5

[storm surge]

Big for people who didn’t like the all glass front

[keen marlin]

i was skipping no matter what because of the thor but the chin wouldn't have sold me either way

[jaunty veldt]

Man that is a design of all time.

[upbeat gate]

Why does it say gold+ silver cores for the g2gen2. Arent these much older than the 7+gen3

[exotic siren]

it doesn't matter. something newer and better will come out in three months

[autumn solstice]

RP6
210.4 / 86.6 / 17.2mm
Unknown weight

Odin 2 Mini
198 / 85.8 / 19.5mm
320g

RP G2 & RP 5
199.2 / 78.5 / 15.6mm
280g

size comparisons

[violet gale]

I feel the price of rp6 was supposed to be higher but Konkr came out

For $10 more you get way more powerful SoC and 120Hz screen

But uglier design

[autumn solstice]

Anyone holding out for an RP5 should get a pretty solid deal if willing to buy used

[ripe abyss]

was hoping it to have stick on top, I'll skip again

[violet gale]

It would make more sense given the power but it needs to distinguish itself from Odin 3

[ripe abyss]

there are infinite ways to do that, but yeah might be

[merry anchor]

God they massively overhyped this lol

Especially since this seems to be using the same mould and screen as the RP5

Did the RP4 get overhyped this much?

[quiet badger]

Still don't understand the insistence on joystick bottom for a device capable of playing up to switch. Dpad games don't need this much power

[viscid glen]

Future is now. Retroid = Ayn 😅

[sly glen]

That's the g2.
https://discord.com/channels/741895796315914271/1432179744018796626

And don't feel over hyped to me, they didn't even do the usual drip feed.
The Chinese marketing also don't have any fanciful stuff as well.

[viscid glen]

This may be one retroid release i sit out. Got enough 8 gen 2 devices 😅

[spare stirrup]

Eh... I'll be waiting for my Konkr Pocket Fit

[upbeat gate]

I mean they didn't lie by dont needing a time machine. They brought back cheap psp clones and switch lite colors from the past

[fiery barn]

What did they mean by "the future is here"? Kinda feel like they set everyone up for disappointment

[feral marlin]

the disappointing future

[thick goblet]

to me. no 1. is the power of the chipset. personally i use oled and lcd. ayaneo lcd quality is good. it does not matter.
oled is more important for steamdeck to preserve battery life.

[untold temple]

told u

why noone believe in that

[thick goblet]

google claim that sideloading will be allowed for retro handheld. anywhere. i disable playstore protection and will not update new android update.

[untold temple]

https://tenor.com/view/shelby-gif-4771997643247048739

so yeah, 200$ x86 Era started (up to Nine generation)

[thick goblet]

rp5 (rename rpg2) and rp6 really not that great.
they are not competing with konkr fit 239 with g3gen3 is a far better deal.

[serene cedar]

They...never did?

AFAIK, Retroid doesn't aim for the BEST performance considering their focus is on Retro systems and most Android games.

[untold temple]

they not now

[shrewd agate]

tbh if i didnt already have rp5 ... i would still go retroid over Conker ... purely out of my "infinite delay delivery ... experience with ayaneo"

[serene cedar]

AYANEO targets folks who prefer both top-notch Android games and beefier systems like PS2 and over.

[untold temple]

this product not for retro stuff

[sonic notch]

[serene cedar]

It's called a "Retroid." Retro is literally in the name.

[thick goblet]

u are right. the delivery will take a long long time. but konkr fit g3gen3 at 239 price is unbelievable.

[shrewd agate]

[serene cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/minion-rain-sofela-gif-884905725896610874

[shrewd agate]

its still the early bird of early bird prices ... msrp is not that

[untold temple]

Again look on prices blind guy 😄

[thick goblet]

i thought there will be retroid dual screen
and rp5 drop the price to 170.
unfortunately, they wont, they will take their stock of rp5 and turn to rpg2. darm sad.

[untold temple]

rp6 actually insane option

[shrewd agate]

so yes .. early bird of early birds

[proud frost]

boring announcement imo

[shrewd agate]

tbh about what i expected G2 model + refreshed 5

basically jsut a refresh

[untold temple]

nah, not refresh

[shrewd agate]

i am only sad for no #moergagescreenMini

but i guess that will come later

[thick goblet]

i remember konkr fit 239 extend their early bird for 1 month. maybe it is over now.

[serene cedar]

The RP6/G2 prices are justifiable.

[untold temple]

exactly

prices insane

[proud frost]

d-pad up top is ragebait at this stage

[serene cedar]

Cheaper than the Odin 2 Mini too.

And whatever AYANEO is offering.

[thick goblet]

for the early bird, so for people wanted rpg2 or rp6 buy now.

[shrewd agate]

RP G2 is refresh of RP5
RP6 is refresh of O2mini

i meant it like this 😄

[untold temple]

wonder how much they actually push 7+ gen 3 bc of cooling ...

i hope at least 10%

[shrewd agate]

was G2 in any device already?

[untold temple]

nop

[thick goblet]

retroid is caught between ayaneo konkr and sister company ayn.
i find ayn thor is far better purchase than rpg2 and rp6 honestly.

[untold temple]

first time ever used, special for retroid

[sonic notch]

no, qualcomm in march specifically called out retroids upcoming device along with a few others

ayaneo was on the list too

probly their upcoming vertical will have it

[untold temple]

stop talking random things

there is no logic in this

It's like saying Odin3 is much better than Retroid, don't buy Retroid, there's Odin3

https://tenor.com/view/black-nerd-black-nerd-gif-26919340

[tired cargo]

All this power for all the modern d-pad focused games such as [ ] and [ ] and let's not forget [ ].

[thick goblet]

i am talking about one the best find ayn thor using 8gen2 with dual screen.

[tired cargo]

Are gacha games played with d-pad? I don't play them, but that would make at least some amount of sense.

[sonic notch]

no

[thick goblet]

even ayn thor lite is really great.

[untold temple]

by default not (but u can do that)

[soft badger]

Whats the way to get the konkr pocket fit? Still on igg? Is there option to get it via 4px to skip vat charges?

[merry anchor]

The huge bezel on the bottom of the RP6 is puzzling me

[fierce bloom]

5.5 120hz OLED is a big deal

[untold temple]

for buttons

[fierce bloom]

This is already better than Konkr for me due to it being OLED

[untold temple]

if they pick up LCD it will cost 30$ less

[fierce bloom]

Odin 3 is $330

$110 cheaper than Odin 3

$90 Cheaper than SDG2 Thor

[soft badger]

Thanks but what site is this? Ayaneo?

[untold temple]

taobao. local china marketplace

[echo nymph]

people are seriously disappointed with the reveal?

[upbeat gate]

Why buying a device with 'retro' in the name and complaining about dpad placement? Just get one of the other 20 powerful devices with asymmetrical stick layout

[merry anchor]

I said this mainly because the Thor and Odin 3 screen exists

[soft badger]

Well I'm located in the EU

[untold temple]

simple peoples complain always 😄

(today can be first review)

[fierce bloom]

Hope we can get the RPDS add on with the 120hz screen so I can use with the RG477M

[untold temple]

if they use 3566, it will be possible

[worn cargo]

some people might hate the new design but to me Retroid are trying to go back to a more classic design language

like with the RP2S

[untold temple]

or a527 at max, otherwise no

oled margin huge, 120 even more

[fierce bloom]

Is this still glass front?

[worn cargo]

seems so

[untold temple]

G2 looks like Upgraded PSP

PSP 2 should look +- the same 😄

[worn cargo]

one thing i woulf change is adding slight gaps between the bottom buttons

[fierce bloom]

Thats disappointing

[worn cargo]

like i may get why people hate it, the continuous line from the left speaker to the right speaker seems a bit janky

[fierce bloom]

Ill wait for RP Dual Screen device that uses the new 120hz 5.5 inch screen and a 4:3 120hz mortgage screen for bottom

Make it smaller than Thor

[worn cargo]

should have some gaps between the buttons

[untold temple]

not possible to do

[worn cargo]

i do love the speaker placement tho, no blocking

[tired cargo]

Great logic there. Good thing they're not using modern tech for modern tech prices then.

[gleaming niche]

It's that time again! Those G2 Switch Lite colors look nice, silver RP6 looks best to me.

Chit chatting on pod about all this for today's ep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL-EJyXk8Xs

RH News: https://retrohandhelds.gg/retroid-pocket-6-and-pocket-g2-officially-unveiled/

[carmine wraith]

The 12/256 is quite expensive. For what console games will it matter ? (the SoC not beeing the bootleneck in a first place)

[untold temple]

o_O

[gleaming niche]

Interesting to see them bump up against AYN there

[worn cargo]

i mean it has a 8 gen 2 chip

it is now the cheapest device with that chip

[untold temple]

Is not 8gen2

G2 Gen2 is 7+ gen3

[worn cargo]

look back at the video again

[upbeat gate]

Didnt know retro handhelds are only allowed to have 480p screens rk3566 and 3 hours of battery life

[worn cargo]

the RP G2 has a G2 gen 2 chip, the RP6 has a 8 Gen 2

[untold temple]

oh, u mean rp6 😄

[worn cargo]

snapdragon naming scheme can actually rival pc monitor makers

[untold temple]

confusing shit

[worn cargo]

PC monitor model names can actually be used for passwords

[sonic notch]

ps2 storage

the ram wont matter really

[uneven fractal]

Rp6 looks very comfy though and maybe decent speakers

Just a shame a gen 3 isn’t too much more

[untold temple]

40$ more and no top tier 120hz oled, so

lcd margin is a thing, that super low, when oled margin like that above 30$ each

will be insane also if they drop lcd version pocket Gen2 for 170$ 💀

[uneven fractal]

Gen 2 with 12gb, can play most of switch?

[untold temple]

any

[uneven fractal]

Pretty good system then if that’s what you want to emulate up to. I guess other than the dpad top

[untold temple]

and almost any x86 (on gen2/g3x gen2/Gen3 always we bounded to cpu, which is close to G2, so weaker gpu is not a real problem)

[uneven fractal]

Dpad top probably worst offence otherwise looks very nice

[echo nymph]

Yeah. Not getting one myself as too much overlap but it looks great

[violet gale]

3 months later Flip 2 refresh with G2 Gen 2

[echo nymph]

Reading all the negativity was nice entertainment with my coffee

[hot gorge]

not a big fan of the bezels on the bottom, but I guess it doesn't really matter since this thing wont be pocketable anyway

[pseudo venture]

Was waiting to see the RP6 announcement. Placing my order for the Thor now ✌️

[viscid glen]

Think thats the problem. These devices are overlapping a bit now

[gleaming niche]

All You Need!

[trail fjord]

Yeah I'm gonna pass on the Retroid 8 Gen 2 train since I have my Odin 2

The RPG2 seems neat to me, and a nice little bump to the RP5

[untold temple]

lol

[viscid glen]

Well i have 3 Odin 3’s on order, 2 konkrs and my thor inbound. I think im covered 😅 but these are great devices for anyone new joining the hobby or upgrading from RP4 etc

[untold temple]

even on stock frequency, they are should be higher (and this without turnip even, it also will boost)
So yeah, that HUGE upgrade
here RP5, Odin2, 557

[slender crown]

The rp6 looks like the rp5 but some vita aesthetic

and the psp buttoms on the bottom of the screen

is a weird mix but i like it

[untold temple]

ouch i didnt see freqs ... cpu THE SAME

7+ gen3

G2

Hope gpu (Adreno732) overclocked, if not so 950mhz ...

[shrewd agate]

so the design is basically O2mini with dpad top

[violet gale]

Honestly it reminds me of 40XXH

Ugly

[shrewd agate]

120Hz is nice though

[sharp trellis]

Trimui Super Smart Pro

[untold temple]

psp design cant be ugly

[violet gale]

I prefer the look of TSP

[shrewd agate]

interesting tha RP G2 ... goes straight to "switch lite" colours

[violet gale]

They should have made it more like PSP or Vita

[shrewd agate]

but RP6 .. has different shades

[sharp trellis]

TAKE THAT BACK (don't listen to the mean man my chunky PSP-1000)

[crisp oak]

Every time I look at the RP6 I see a slightly concerned looking robot.

[untold temple]

irl this devices looks much better

guy who make renders a bit kill them

[upbeat gate]

[sharp trellis]

TechDweeb looking at these colour choices right now

[crisp oak]

I mean, kudos to them for being brave enough to go with Kraft Mac & Cheese for a color option though. Up until now only Powkiddy has shown that kind of courage.

[hot gorge]

I'm just gonna wait for the retroid pocket flip 3 to come out, that is actually dpad on top

give it the g2 gen 2 and I've got my dream device

[strange walrus]

Ngl rp6 looks stupid

[shrewd agate]

lol

[strange walrus]

Nerd emoji 😭 whyyyy

Rage bait ahhhhhh

[quiet lintel]

Surprised there's a lot of hate for the device. The buttons look stupid, but Dpad on top is superior. Wanted an Odin 2 mini, but not for the stupid price it is. This is exactly what I want minus the goofy buttons

[honest dust]

if it had a flat back maybe, but like this, idk

[quiet lintel]

Also surprised to see it compared to Thor. A dual screen handheld is very situational. A traditional one screen is all I want 95% of the time

[quiet lintel]

Hmm maybe I should look at the dimensions more closely. Is the back that big? The size of my RP4 is what I love

[honest dust]

it claims 17.2mm thickness, but no way that's where the ergo bumps are

odin 2 mini was already 19.5mm thick, had a smaller battery and no ergos bumps

[idle spear]

is it a huge jump compared to rp5?

[quiet lintel]

1cm wider and taller than RP5. Not significant, but creeping up in size generationally I think

[quiet lintel]

Almost twice the power

[honest dust]

performance-wise? yeah, the RP6 uses the same chip as the Odin 2 line

tho I will argue that they should have only made one RP6 SKU, the 12+256 one for $259 retail would make way more sense with their RP5+ around

[crisp oak]

I'll give you that. I'll also admit that the lavender color is really pretty and kinda soothing to look at in spite of the button row at the bottom. 💜

[quiet lintel]

Also, one thing I don't think anybody is talking about is the speaker placement. The sound doesn't come from under your thumbs!

[crisp oak]

You've got a point there too. The speaker placement might look kinda ugly, but from a practical design standpoint it is a sensible place to put them so your hands aren't covering them up when you're holding the device.

[plush grotto]

Looks ugly but the ergonomics should be much better than RP5

Not fan of Switch Lite colorways though

For both RPG2 and RP6 switch colors look like cheap knock offs from Aliexpresss

There's nothing retro about switch lite, maybe in like 20 years it will become

[crisp oak]

Ah well, ya win some ya lose some I suppose. If he was still alive Rodney Dangerfield would be sending his sympathies.

[serene cedar]

Preview link is up: https://www.goretroid.com/products/retroid-pocket-6-handheld

[carmine wraith]

Long story short, in practice, if I want to emulate 1080p Switch (Mario Kart, Zelda..) at least the same way it runs on OG hardware (so OK for similar slowdowns in worst cases), are there RAM bottlenecks so what about ?

• G2 Gen 2 - 8/128
• G2 Gen 2 - 12/256
• 8 Gen 2 - 8/128
• 8 Gen 2 - 12/256
  (using SD 7+ Gen 3 as a proxy)

[novel inlet]

2026

[tired cargo]

Wait WHAT

[gritty garden]

darn

[untold temple]

g2 gen2 12gb should be enough for the same unstable 30 fps (drops to 20)

[soft badger]

The Future is Now

Or maybe somewhen in 2026

[thick goblet]

last time retroid always produce high mid tier devices that price to performance is the best.
with ayaneo 2.0 konkr , i think there will be competition for best value to performance device. And this will be great for consumer as eventually the competition will bring the prices for high premium device more affordable.

[trail fjord]

The G2 Gen 2 is surprisingly close to the 8 Gen 2 damn

[untold temple]

like i sayed 🙂

[thick goblet]

then buy rpg2 over rp6 🙂 199 for rpg2 is a steal

[trail fjord]

I have an Odin 2

I don't need either handheld

My only complaint technically is the LCD panel, but I can live with that

[untold temple]

new era sub200$

[trail fjord]

It's basically in between 8+ and 8G2

Which for a little over $200 MSRP

Not bad, a massive improvement over the 865 in the RP5

[untold temple]

G2 (7+gen3) here even on phone, so ... it limited, results should be higher

[trail fjord]

But in turn, used RP5s are about to get really really cheap

[untold temple]

on handheld with active good cooling

[trail fjord]

I'm more interested in the RPG2 than the RP6

I know what the 8G2 can do

But that G2 chip seems like a midrange king for the price

[upbeat gate]

Same kind of wish there was a g2 120hz option

[trail fjord]

I don't mind 60hz

Since 60fps is what I try to target most of the time

But not everyone does

[untold temple]

but 120hz pannel will inscrese price +- 15-20$

with the same quality ofc

[trail fjord]

I want to see if any other manufacturers will use the G2

[untold temple]

if its not closed contract with retroid, they will

[trail fjord]

Retroid might have a hit on their hand in form of the RPG2

[untold temple]

lcd 5.5 variant will cost 30$ less

[trail fjord]

I liked the way the RP5 looked

[untold temple]

maybe even retroid drop cheaper version after

[trail fjord]

Double the power for the same price

Not bad not bad

Also RP Flip G2 hopefully on the way

In the same vain as the RPG2

I kind of see this as the iPhone SE of Retroid handhelds

Taking an older design, and shoving in more powerful hardware in it

[echo nymph]

i mean for most normal people this isn't a problem 😛 only an issue for those with no impulse control 😉

[carmine wraith]

Long story short, in practice, if I want to emulate 1080p Switch (Mario Kart, Zelda..) at least** the same way it runs on OG** hardware (so OK for similar slowdowns in worst cases), are there RAM bottlenecks so what about …

• G2 Gen 2 - 8/128
• G2 Gen 2 - 12/256
• 8 Gen 2 - 8/128
• 8 Gen 2 - 12/256
  (using SD 7+ Gen 3 as a proxy)

[viscid glen]

You know me too well 🤣😅

[echo nymph]

or just the more fanatical folks in our community 😄

[trail fjord]

If you want the overhead

Any 8 Gen 2 is fine

Idk the performance of the G2 Gen 2

[quick abyss]

That thing always needed some height, rp5 was too uncomfortable to grip

[untold temple]

g2 gen2 12gb should be enough for the same unstable 30 fps (drops to 20)

with turnip and curent state emulation builds

[carmine wraith]

Not 8/128 ? They charge quite a lot for the upgrade.

[untold temple]

no

zelda is 12gb, due to mem leak

any other heavy games too

[carmine wraith]

OK Thanks. Crystal clear answer.

[carmine wraith]

But 8 Gen 2 better ? Current state of drivers and anticipating Turnip updates ?

[untold temple]

they both support turnip

8Gen 2 cpu power a bit better

[carmine wraith]

So no chance G2 Gen 2 becoming better ?

[untold temple]

better than 8 gen 2, no

in future it will reach 8 gen 2 in emulation (except gpu bound), but hes also goes up

[carmine wraith]

Thanks. So IMO, best is to get the 120Hz screen. With 12GB.

[untold temple]

120hz rp6 yes

[echo nymph]

basically a smaller odin 2 portal it looks like with dpad top

[carmine wraith]

As I value DPad centric games more, I couldn'nr be happier. Take my money ! where is the button to order ?*

[echo nymph]

yeah it looks damn solid

[carmine wraith]

And is Android 13 an issue ?

[untold temple]

no

[sharp trellis]

The only thing I want to know is if the RP6 bumps are ribbed for our pleasure?

[plain cipher]

I can't lie rp6 look wayy better

Look bit sexy

[carmine wraith]

I had a RP5 and I beleive that the very slight more bulk of the RP6 will enhance comfort a lot. Plus it probably had to be a bit larger than the RP5, for heat dissipation concerns as well as for the slightly larger battery. All in all, all good to me.

Do you beleive that the sticks are a bit more inward ? That would help a lot, too. Like 2mm more inward plus a slightly larger case could enhance things a lot.

[shrewd agate]

Now that I think about it G2 is technically RP5+

[sharp trellis]

I had the RP5 for a brief time and could almost raw dog it without the grip (I didn't like the grip at all), I just really really like the nobbly textures on the grip but the RP6 looks way more comfortable to hold

[carmine wraith]

Now that we have renders, I'd be pleased if somebody measures the distance from the stick center to the device border, and compare to the RP5.

[echo nymph]

i like comfort without relying on grips so it looks appealing

[carmine wraith]

Same here : no grip for me.

[main terrace]

I am like half and half with grips

[carmine wraith]

And if it plays most Switch decenlty, then I'm OK with the 16/9 thing.

[untold temple]

g2 or gen2?

[mint snow]

Pointless device because it has big borders

It has the same footprint as an Odin 3 but a smaller screen

just buy an Odin 3

[sharp trellis]

I LOVE bezels and borders. Think I'm in the minority there

[main terrace]

Odin3 is like 130 dollars more lol

[mint snow]

Yes I don't understand the point of having those

[mint snow]

It's 100 dollars more at same storage level

[main terrace]

That's still a lot for some lol

[mint snow]

and even less in superfan

it has a bigger screen, better stick placement, a much better SoC, a better design, etc

[main terrace]

I understand why you are saying it lol

But for some that price difference will be the deciding factor

[celest pond]

8g2 plus OLED for $210 is a great product

[mint snow]

Yup maybe, if that's important for them why not, but I think they should still spend $100 more if they can

It's totally worth it

[honest dust]

there is no 12+256 G2 Gen2 tho

[plain cipher]

Okay but we got odin 2 portal and ayn thor including konkr

[main terrace]

True but i was responding to his point? And all of those devices are more expensive with the konkr jumping up to 300 after early bird lol

[mint snow]

Bad left stick placement

[main terrace]

I wouldn't get a rp6 but i can see why one would get one

Dpad up top is a big oof imo

[plain cipher]

Is it odin 2 portal is same price as odin 3

[mint snow]

it shouldn't be up top

[main terrace]

More expensive than the rp6 either way? Lol

[mint snow]

dpad up top is only good for a cheap $100 aya neo pocket mini

[sharp trellis]

@untold temple I know you love your gamehub vids - got any links for base odin 2 or equivelant (8gb ram) so I can work out which variant of RP6 to grab?

[mint snow]

I think Odin 3's screen is big enough

[main terrace]

Yea i don't get dpad up top on such a powerful device

[plain cipher]

I like it big

But however tho

[main terrace]

Idk i wouldn't want to go back after owning my portal for so long

The portal screen is glorious

[mint snow]

Yea maybe go Portal then

[plain cipher]

I already got big device aka steam deck

I need a small

[mint snow]

Then you'll have to wait for Odin 3 Portal I guess

[main terrace]

I am in no rush to upgrade from the 8g2

[mint snow]

Odin 3 is perfect then

[plain cipher]

Even small 🤭

[main terrace]

I got a thor on the way as well haha i will wait for the 8 elite to get more driver support and snag something used off the marketplace

[celest pond]

This is the end game times folks. 8g2 plus OLED for affordable pricing. Perfectly capable of playing everything I would consider retro. Every release moving forward will be less interesting.

[mint snow]

I don't think RP6 is smaller with that screen with big borders

[plain cipher]

I can't lie 8 gen 2 is like peak peak end chip

[mint snow]

do we have its dimensions ?

[main terrace]

Ayn been doing this tho? Lol

[mint snow]

8 Elite is much better

[main terrace]

Elite doesn't have the smae in driver supprt lol

[mint snow]

You don't need that with Eden & Kenji NX

[celest pond]

"affordable pricing" this is $100 cheaper

[mint snow]

I have a 8 Elite phone and I can run SMO, and various NSwitch games

[plain cipher]

Maybe yh when it comes to winlator and ps3 and switch but 8 gen 2 basically do everything can't go higher than that maybe in the future

[mint snow]

GameHub is pretty slow on a 8 gen 2

• a 8 gen 2 can't run games like Totk at full speed

[main terrace]

300 was already affordable compared to other devices that had the 8g2 when the odin 2 line came out so I don't think this is that crazy lol it's nice to see retroid not using the 865 or 888 or something

Gamehub slow on the 8g2??

What lol

[mint snow]

For recent games, yup

you won't get 30 fps easily

[plain cipher]

It depends on what games tho

[main terrace]

You making the 8g2 sound like it's not a beast lol which is wild

[mint snow]

2015+ games won't run that well

[mint snow]

it's a beast in console emulation

but it's not a beast on GameHub

[plain cipher]

Hmm the rest is fineeeeee

[sharp trellis]

The highest graphical thing I'd probably run on Gamehub is Ball X Pit (or Bollocks Pit as it sounds out loud). I even managed to get it running fairly well on the RPMv2

[honest dust]

it's still kinda wild that the difference between the RP6 and THOR is literally the price of an RDS

[mint snow]

Yes, but a 8 Elite gives you more games to run

you can run GTA V well, TW3 well, we're even starting to see Cyberpunk running well

[echo nymph]

gamehub isn't exactly high on my priority list

[plain cipher]

Plus i already got pc handheld

[untold temple]

[celest pond]

I love the new speaker position and the new extra function buttons

[sharp trellis]

Likewise but I'd love something smaller than the Ally for indie stuff tbf

[untold temple]

skill issue

[sharp trellis]

So you're saying I should buy both? (I AM FICKLE PLEASE DON'T)

[tired cargo]

The RP6 is basically free if you own a Thor if you think about it.

[honest dust]

not really, the RP6 is decent if you don't have anything else yet, but I have 3 8gen2 devices already, a few G3x Gen2, and more powerful G3 Gen3 and the upcoming 8 Elite stuff... it's really a hard sell at this point

[celest pond]

Bro you already own everything

Go play some games

[honest dust]

I don't want to, need shiny new toy

[echo nymph]

oh no 😄

[main terrace]

Yea the rp6 just isn't that appealing haha i have a few 8g2 devices already with another on the way

[echo nymph]

yeah i have 2 already, i dont really need a 3rd lol

Im already holding on the thor for now

[celest pond]

There's not much they could have done to make you guys interested in it, they almost doubled their performance within one generation

[main terrace]

It's great for a lot of people

[echo nymph]

Looks great for people who have impulse control 😄

[honest dust]

could have made it cheaper

[sharp trellis]

Had the Odin 2 Portal, too big and already had the Ally so sold the O2P, Had the RP5 but not enough power and a bit cramped - Sold it. RPC is the only device I've bought this year that I absolutely adore.. the rest, well.. I am fickle and couldn't decide but RP6 is THE ONE. Promise

[honest dust]

RP6 12+256 for $229 and I would have impulse bought it

[echo nymph]

it's already at a good price don't be greedy 😛

[honest dust]

good yeah, not good enough to make me grab it despite not needing it tho

[echo nymph]

you own everything already, you dont need it at all, same as me xd

[tired cargo]

Just get a cheap 4:3 d-pad on top handheld for your retro needs if you play older games a lot. There are better options for modern games out there.

[tired cargo]

Do you own that weird sugar handheld?

[sharp trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/scifi-picard-mad-angry-no-gif-13835031

[limber surge]

i would consider this if it didn't have ergo bumps, but being pretty much the same as the rp5, nope

[honest dust]

hell no

[tired cargo]

Good to know there are some boundaries still.

[carmine wraith]

RP6 with 8 Gen 2 and 12/256 as you advise for Switch. With the slightly larger shell and 120Hz, it should be great.

[onyx orchid]

Can't wait for it to come out and be only like 115Hz lol

[echo nymph]

does seem like the better bet

[sharp trellis]

the only issue I see with the RP6 is the home and back button placements are way out of reaching distance unless you have a finglonger or something

[dense latch]

Yeah word lol

[carmine wraith]

My bad. So RP6 12/256.

[echo nymph]

those button placements do look weird

[fiery barn]

Yeah, I like the idea of M1 and M2 keys, but the placement of them makes them kinda impossible to use for hotkeys

I use the back buttons on my Odin 2 Portal all the time for hotkeys

[celest pond]

Perfect for save state and load state, I won't accidentally hit them

[onyx orchid]

More buttons will be great for n64 titles

[midnight fiber]

No Mortgage Mini? Boooo.

[exotic willow]

i wasn't going to pay attention to this device but they had to go and make a purple one

[echo nymph]

ouch just noticed the 50 dollar markup for ram/storage

[midnight fiber]

Yeah, turquoise looks incredible. Orange too.

[fiery barn]

I like the lavender colour and the speaker placement, nice to have a device with d-pad up top too for PSP and 2D Switch games, but yeah I really don't need this

[midnight fiber]

Wish we'd move past DMG, SFC, White and GC as the universal only choices already.

[jovial nimbus]

Prices are really really good but the more I look at the RP6 the more I hate it , they could of at least offset the sticks more with the extra space ......oh well

[midnight fiber]

Wait, I take that back, the render just made turquoise looks metallic 3DSish while it's actually Switchish on the other pics.

[sharp trellis]

Nice of Retroid to fast forward time and yellow the plastic for us from the offset

[untold temple]

it just bad render

[plush grotto]

they still look much better than Switch Lite colors

[untold temple]

cant share but i see already how it looks irl

tomorrow should out review on bili

[midnight fiber]

Does it look like 'it comes from 20 years in the future'?

[untold temple]

it looks like retro style

[plush grotto]

you know, it makes sense:

[limber surge]

i wonder how they made it look so clunky compared to the sleek rp5

[fiery barn]

Man what were they thinking with the time travel shit lol

I really thought some typa innovation was about to be announced

[sharp trellis]

Guess we have to wait for Anbernic to release the N-Gage 2 after all

[plain cipher]

🤣🤣🤣

[cloud lagoon]

they should have just given the rp5 an 8gen2 and the 120hz screen instead of whatever the fuck the RP6 is

[untold temple]

nah

[cloud lagoon]

it's so close in size to the Odin 3 now that any advantages in compactness are now lost

[wet mesa]

Retroid: “Why wait for time travel to be invented?”
Because the specs took us already back to 2022

[cloud lagoon]

so it's now basically reduced to "I want an Odin 3 but I'm poor"

in which case you probably should get a Konkr Pocket Fit instead of this

[untold temple]

No

[grand forge]

https://www.goretroid.com/cdn/shop/files/8b9cc7c9808a81f[e-mail]?v=1761563936

yeah the black model on theit site looks decent TBH.

[true nexus]

Yeah that would've been actually good, instead of the bloated ps vita design

[frozen garden]

https://rh-go.link/Retroid-Pocket-6

[untold temple]

this is clean

[true nexus]

Until you see the back 😔

[merry anchor]

Interesting thing to note

[merry anchor]

This uses the same stick caps as the RP Flip 2 as well as the Thor

[untold temple]

it looks how it should

[merry anchor]

I had thought they mainly used those caps just for clamshells, but clearly not

[onyx orchid]

Oh idk how i feel about the back and home buttons being on the front like that lol

[echo nymph]

theey look odd

[mild spear]

Yup, honestly I’m all for it. Those sticks feel way better than the old ones (although I suppose anyone who prefers concave sticks would say otherwise).

[cloud lagoon]

I wonder if the only reason this has bottom buttons below the screen is to avoid the "Odin 3 with swapped dpad/stick" meme

[mild spear]

Then they wouldn’t have released the G2.

[mild spear]

…Isn’t that where we’ve always preferred them to be? Or are you more specifically talking about their exact location under the screen for the RP6?

[onyx orchid]

That's what I mean yeah

The back button often opens up the main menu in emulators so it was super convenient where it is on the RP5

[mild spear]

Honestly, I prefer them and the speakers being there, since after the Zero 28 I’ve found myself wishing more devices had function buttons closer to the center of the device. Meanwhile with the speakers, it just straight up keeps them away from your palms and ensures both are at no risk of being uncovered.

[onyx orchid]

I wish they at least put those new hotkey buttons where the menu/back used to be

[mild spear]

Fair enough, although I’d have preferred they put them where Ayn usually puts them (on the back), or even where AYANEO puts them (next to the shoulder buttons).

[merry anchor]

Yeah I personally prefer convex sticks myself

This doesn't apply to the RP6, but especially so when the sticks are heavily recessed

[midnight fiber]

I'd like to see the android buttons as backpaddles someday.

[deep ibex]

M1/M2 placement wtf

Why not inline with bumpers?

[onyx orchid]

That fucking sucks lol

[rustic bramble]

I bet more people can get the retroid pocket six in January than people will be able to get the pocket fit which probably still will be not shipped fully by then

[jovial nimbus]

Either way I don't like it

[onyx orchid]

I wish we got actual footage of its performance

[untold temple]

tomorrow

[echo nymph]

yeah the pocket fit and ayaneo's shipping is a little suspect right now from the IGG fuckup

[jovial nimbus]

How so ? Haven't heard anything about that

[onyx orchid]

Might preorder this and give a sibling my rp5 when the time comes

[cloud lagoon]

they are bad at shipping outside of China

very few units move

nothing like AYN or Retroid where all the preorders are fulfilled in an orderly fashion

with Ayaneo you can be waiting for 2, 3, 4 months for no particular reason

[serene cedar]

You know I had to...

[sharp trellis]

Yeah me too..

https://www.goretroid.com/en-gb/collections/accessories/products/retroid-official-grip-for-rp6

[onyx orchid]

Fifteen dollars???? Jesus

[true nexus]

It's so funny that they plan around releasing grip accessories

[onyx orchid]

It's most likely gonna feel as slippery as the rp5 grip

[sharp trellis]

They really should look to Ayn for how they do their grips

[candid ridge]

I personally won’t buy this handheld, but will say, I find the color options on this much more exciting than what we had for the RP5 x3

[sly glen]

I prefer to have them planned rather than like the rp5 where it takes months for them to even confirm there is a grip

[onyx orchid]

Fifteen dollars for a cheap piece of rubbery plastic is insane

[sharp trellis]

Imma raw dog it regardless

[onyx orchid]

If it's like the rp5 itll feel a bit too cramped for me

[sharp trellis]

I'm good with the TSP/Vita etc probably because of that rounded side so I think I'll find this much more comfortable (personally) than the RP5

[candid ridge]

The sticks seems not just lower but a bit more inset than on the RP5 from what I could tell.
Saw a thumbnail that shows both the G2 and the 6.

Doesn’t automatically mean it’ll be comfortable, but it will likely be a bit better ergo wise than the RP5 and G2

[onyx orchid]

The problem for me with the raw rp5 was playing things that required analog sticks

[sharp trellis]

Fwiw I find the RPM more comfortable than the RP5 because of the offset sticks

[whole parcel]

I swear I saw xbox/Asus selling 80 ally x carrying bag

[balmy quartz]

It's like they know their ergonomics are terrible but since people keep buying them anyway (and then buying grips) that they'd just keep doing what they're doing and also releasing grips to cash in.

[whole parcel]

I guess ppl have money to burn

[balmy quartz]

$69.99, but yes ... expensive.

[dawn comet]

AYN entire accessory pack was only 30

Grip is kinda mandatory on Retroid devices..

[sharp trellis]

Maybe a stupid question - but is White Plastic more expensive? Because Retroid have not only scrapped the RP5 White variant, but neither of the new devices have the option either

[celest pond]

Maybe it's the least sold color

[merry anchor]

Yeah that's the easy conclusion to come to

[tired cargo]

I was travelling with my Odin 2 Portal a couple of weeks ago. At home I never remove the grip but I left it behind for my travels. It's way more portable that way. So while yes, grips are overpriced, I'd rather have a flat device and purchase a grip to use it whenever needed.

[celest pond]

Well we can probably guess what the rp7 is going to be, probably in one year and probably the same as the rp6 but with the Snapdragon 8 Elite

[balmy quartz]

The Portal is at least usable without the grip. Most of the recent Retroid devices are ergonomic nightmares for analog stick games without them. To the point where I wouldn't even consider taking something like a "bare" RP3+, RP4, RP5 to play games that use analogs on a trip.

[tired cargo]

I feel you. I love the design of the RP5 but it's barely usable with my larger hands.

[fiery barn]

Anyone else seeing it? 🤔

Man i would be an idiot to buy this but I love that lavender so much

[sharp trellis]

Next step is Retroid making it actually smell like Lavender

[fiery barn]

Nooo that's like top 5 worst smells to me lol

We got these horrible sweets in the UK and they just taste like perfume

[echo nymph]

oh no i thought i blocked those out of my memory

[cloud lagoon]

the looks of this is starting to grow on me

ultimately there's too much overlap with the Thor and the Odin 3 to bite

but it's not as bad as the renders in the reveal video made it out to be

the renders on the website look better

[balmy quartz]

The SD8G2 is ending up like the H700 did for Anbernic.

Lots of basically the same device with different form factors.

[onyx orchid]

Another extra 30 bucks for comfort.... The rp6 won't even fit in the case withthe grip

[cloud lagoon]

that is a very good thing though

[bleak flare]

I feel the exact same. This device feels pointless but the purple color is so good

[sharp trellis]

I can taste that picture, it's making my teeth feel weird. Might have to get some to hand out to people on Friday when they come trick or treating.. that'll teach the little bastards

[fiery barn]

That's evil

[echo nymph]

I love that idea

[fiery barn]

Do it 👿

Oh man, even the devil emoji is lavender

[sharp trellis]

Might just chuck in some werther's to spice things up

[fiery barn]

Put those sugar-free ones in and you'll give all the kids diarrhoea

[sharp trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/notes-note-take-notes-daffy-notes-daffy-note-gif-7089549869873009522

Careful though, I hear that people are handing out sweets laced with H700s

[gleaming niche]

Guessing they'll offer a bigger case to accomodate if history serves 😆

[quiet lintel]

How much will 12 vs 8 GB of RAM matter for stuff like Switch emulation? Is that the only emulation scenario where you would need more RAM?

[onyx orchid]

Tbh it not coming with a screen protector is bullshit

Like sure. No case? Whatever. But at least include a protector if you're doing the dumb all glass front

[sharp trellis]

With the latest progression of Secret Console emulation, not overly required with the Garden of Adam & Eve, but might be needed for heavier 3D stuff susceptible to memory leaks. Like that one with the kid dressed like a gnome and the princess who the game is named after

[balmy quartz]

256GB of internal storage vs 128GB is probably more important.

[trail fjord]

Winlator/GameHub mostly benefits from the extra RAM

My Odin 2 Base runs Switch like a champ

[echo nymph]

it is a decent chunk of money for the ram and storage upgrade

[bleak flare]

I'm pretty sure the only Switch game that uses more than 8gb is totk. So the 12gb would be for Winlator mostly

[untold temple]

if u want play zelda or any other super heavy games 12gb is minimum

emulation state still has huge memory leak, like nintendo has on beggining (look how run totk on first version, performance, stability, tons of crashes etc)

[trail fjord]

There's also SWAP space

[untold temple]

which decrease performance when game ask more than u have real ram

[trail fjord]

It really doesn't? Again, my Odin 2 is fine with a lot of harder to run Switch titles.

[untold temple]

it does we test that allot of times

[trail fjord]

And I've seen phones and Android devices with 8 GB of RAM and the 8G2 run a lot just fine with SWAP

But alas

[untold temple]

on our ELite devices in emulation

[trail fjord]

To each their own

[bleak flare]

I wasn't able to get Xenoblade 2 to run well on my Odin 2 Portal. That game is pretty unoptomized and it could've been a skill issue. Ran better on my Steam Deck

[trail fjord]

I've seen TOTK run on base Odin 2s

[mild spear]

…Are you talking about TOTK on Switch 1? Cause that game actively ran better than BOTW and neither game had “tons of crashes”.

[trail fjord]

They did mention 8 Elite

Which, well, has compatibility issues

[mild spear]

Yeah, from what I can tell it definitely has some type of issues with graphical errors as well, particularly a really weird thing with lighting and shadows.

[untold temple]

this game super demanding just, it need now gen3

[trail fjord]

Like if I could, I would run Switch on my phone

[untold temple]

u see 1 minute of ''gameplay''

[trail fjord]

(8 Elite equipped)

[untold temple]

or screenshot

bc it crashing 🙂

[trail fjord]

I've been in the emulation scene for a while now. I've seen what I saw.

I've saw what I've seen?

I've saw what I saw?

Idfk

[sharp trellis]

I am a seesaw

[trail fjord]

Yes

[untold temple]

😄

[bleak flare]

Runs fine on Steam Deck, just at a lower framerate

While Android has genuine rendering issues

[untold temple]

yeah bc steam deck more powerful

[bleak flare]

Not necessarily but I guess

[untold temple]

doesnt have on eden 0.4 (not out yet)

[mild spear]

I wouldn’t exactly call “shadows and lighting randomly appearing as gigantic blocks of textures on the screen, randomly alternating between lighted up and darkened”.
Or whatever the hell you call something like this. Let me get a screenshot for a frame of reference.

[mild spear]

Ok so you also know what I’m talking about. Do you happen to already have an image or should I still go get that?

[trail fjord]

Oh Android definitely has rendering issues

[bleak flare]

Nah I tried it on my O2P months ago and sold the Portal for the Thor

[trail fjord]

But thank God for Turnip Drivers

[mild spear]

Funny enough turnip drivers didn’t seem to help at all with XC2’s particular issues, or at least the issues I was seeing.

[trail fjord]

Ah

[mild spear]

Hang on, let me hurry up and finish with this other thing so that I can get the pic.

[trail fjord]

Well, they're not perfect unfortunately

[bleak flare]

If eden 0.0.4 is that big of a game changer I will be excited. I will for sure install Eden on my Thor

https://tenor.com/view/piratesoftware-pirate-software-i-used-to-work-at-i-used-to-work-at-blizzard-gif-18195862432693732087

Ugh I hate the name Thor. Reminds me of

Gross ferret man

[fiery barn]

Yeah Thor wins the prize for the worst-named handheld I think

[trail fjord]

"I uSeD tO wOrK aT bLiZzArD"

[trail fjord]

I mean it makes sense for Ayn's theming

[sharp trellis]

RIP Loki, like its namesake was a joke of a launch

[fiery barn]

Yeah, i think i just got used to "Odin"... I know they've used "Loki" too

[trail fjord]

Odin, Thor, Loki

[fiery barn]

Shoulda been named AYN Odin DS

[bleak flare]

I would say we need another Loki but Windows emulation is getting very powerful

[trail fjord]

I just think of the god of thunder that's in Marvel Rivals

Whenever I hear Thor

[bleak flare]

Maybe Loki will return with Xbox's special windows build

[trail fjord]

I wonder what's next

[bleak flare]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-love-and-thunder-thorin-gif-26156089

[trail fjord]

Ayn Hela

[bleak flare]

They could name their AYN dock the Bifrost

[mild spear]

There we go, finally.

Only have the Pocket Ace on me right now, but I can go and do another with the Odin 2 Portal when I get the chance.

[trail fjord]

Isn't Xenoblade just kind of broken on a lot of Switch emulators?

[bleak flare]

If they make a stylus for the Thor they can call it Mjolnir

[thick goblet]

i find that those who bought rp3 or rp4 really could upgrade to
rpg2 or rp6.
but rp5 to upgrade to rpg2 or rp6 really not that essential.

[trail fjord]

Yes absolutely

[fiery barn]

🤡 <-- me in Jan when my lavender RP6 ships and I've already had my Odin 3 for a month

[trail fjord]

I was about to say I'll take the RP6

But why would I

When I have an Odin 2

Which has the same internal specs

[bleak flare]

I've heard that DE, 3, and X are in better places than 2. 2 was kind of a miracle of engineering because it was made with a dev kit that had 8gb of ram. The team had a short amount of time and only 40 people developing the game. It was an early Switch game so they did not understand the hardware very well yet

[fiery barn]

For d-pad games I guess, more comfy to use the d-pad on the RP6

[bleak flare]

The RP6 has sexy lavender

[thick goblet]

but odin3 got a problem. custom drivers are not ready. but i heard eden emulator is trying to improve 8 elite switch emulation.

[quick abyss]

Only 120hz/bfi capable oled handheld with the dpad on top

[trail fjord]

Which, I play mostly 3D titles anyways

[quick abyss]

In that case there’s no reason for you to be here

[trail fjord]

And I don't mind D-Pad Bottom for retro stuff

[fiery barn]

Yeah you ain't gotta worry about that. Join the AYN Discord and you can see what the Eden dev is saying about the Elite, plus many videos of testers showing Switch performance on 8 Elite on the new Eden. It's going to be amazing, we won't need turnip drivers

[thick goblet]

if u have odin2, rp6 is really unnecessary my honest opinion. maybe vibrant oled display.

[trail fjord]

God forbid a man has hobbies

[bleak flare]

Odin 3 though 👀

[trail fjord]

Eh

[bleak flare]

I wish the Odin 3 was in Lavender

[trail fjord]

I'll stick with what I have

[bleak flare]

Odin 2 is still a fantastic handheld

[idle kindle]

I hope Retroid never caves on dpad on top. Ya’ll have soo many other options for sticks up top you’ll be good

[quick abyss]

I gotta admit, there no reason for me to be here either

[bleak flare]

RP6 is in a very strange place because there's not a lot of reason to buy it unless you are new to the space.

If I didn't own a RP5 and a Thor I would be very interested in the RP6

[idle kindle]

Affordable BFI/shader sub frames and lots of headroom for shaders

[thick goblet]

basically which emulators require turnip drivers to perform such that 8 gen 2 may outperform 8 elite. or all these issues have been resolved. i heard winlator needs turnip drivers also??

[bleak flare]

Once my Thor arrives the RP5 becomes my wife's zelda randomizer handheld lol

Her favorite color is purple, so the purple RP6 would be perfect for her

[trail fjord]

See if you have a RP4 Pro, hell maybe the RP5

Either new Retroid device would be a nice enough upgrade

[fiery barn]

Plenty of Winlator people in the AYN Discord singing the praises of the Elite and its stock driver too. Though I think they recommend Gamehub over Winlator.

Also an SD 8 Elite Gen 5 driver leaked and was modified to work on Gamehub on the normal Elite, and that's shown great improvements for Gamehub on 8 Elite

[thick goblet]

but people worry about gamehub spying and some prefer gamehub lite. so gamehub is replacing winlator??

[fiery barn]

I dunno, just seen someone who knows a lot about PC emulation recommend it over Winlator

[bleak flare]

I think winlator has been replaced for a while, unless you like excessive tinkering. Gamenative and gamehub are the two kings currently

[thick goblet]

i heard that gamehub use winlator but it is transparent to user. yes winlator really difficult to handle. and problem with steam games.

[fiery barn]

That godpow dude knows what he's on about. You'll see his gameplay test videos in some of K11mch1's videos

[carmine wraith]

About size, it appears that the Pocket 6 is closer to the RP5 than to the Odin 3. And the bulkier is the Konkr, by far (volumes without grips)

[thick goblet]

it is true now 8 elite switch emulation performance is better than 8 gen 2 switch emulation.
if yes, people who order konkr fit 8 elite and odin 3 will able to fully utilize their cpu and gpu.

[fiery barn]

It will be once the new Eden is finally released

Just go on the AYN Discord and search for videos from hatsunemikurose in the Odin 3 channel. They're testing the new Eden on an 8 Elite phone.

It's sick

[thick goblet]

i think some of the eden developers must be previously develop yuzu. they really change switch emulation for the better.

[thick goblet]

thanks for your info.
it seems the retro corps video on odin 3 already outdated.
russ need to update odin 3 review again.

[carmine wraith]

Updated table with more information.

(bodies considered as rectangular, and volumes without bumps or protiding sticks)

[eternal drift]

Now do it but with adding grips that actually make them comfortable 🙂

[gleaming niche]

Starting the podcast tonight with chaos I see

Luckily we start 5 minutes after 6 to allow time for @smoky needle to go potty

-# just kidding, it's for me

[balmy quartz]

This Retroid generation is just ... boring? (Good that the SD8G2 is getting cheaper, though.)

[untold temple]

[gleaming niche]

Yeah they're definitely playing it safe here

[shrewd agate]

Just wait for midgenration with "RPG2 Mortgage " and "RPG2 Flip DS"

[true nexus]

There's still time to make an rp mini 2 retroid please

https://tenor.com/view/plankton-spongebob-dontlettheflamedieout-flame-gif-19163324

[echo nymph]

what could they have done for a generational leap though?

[gleaming niche]

Odin 3 and Konkr with 6" screens make this a little less enticing since we already have RP5 and I mean, come on the Thor 😆

But, if ergonomics are solid, I'll be happy to have an updated Odin 2 Mini basically

[shrewd agate]

Imagine two mortgage screens g2 flip ds

[echo nymph]

the rp6 feels a bit like an updated odin 2 mini

maybe

[gleaming niche]

G2 looks very interesting for tinkering 🤔

[shrewd agate]

Tinkarinka

[strange tundra]

i want that lavender color sooooo much but i can’t justify the upgrade. will be very tempted by secondhand prices for it in a couple years. better yet they keep that colorway for a DS

[untold temple]

yeah 7+ gen3 is pretty solid soc

gow2 3.5x easy no deeps

[shrewd agate]

Anyway gotta go to tinker with god of thunder

[cloud lagoon]

this is where I stand, but the problem is this one is a little too large to be a good Odin 2 mini replacement, being bigger than the rp5 itself

[untold temple]

switch also 30 fps will be, even in zelda

(not docked)

[balmy quartz]

Stick down and Nintendo button layout kinda ruin the illusion of the RP6 being an improved Odin 2 Mini for me personally. Give me proper stick top and Android/PC/Xbox layout for a device I might want to play high end stuff and Android/PC games on.

[balmy quartz]

Or you could drop ten extra bucks on an RP6 and not have to tinker. If there were a larger price gap it'd make some sense, but ...

[true nexus]

Yeah, this is why it's weird to me since they made an rp5+ for people that want dpad top, they could've done stick top for the rp6

[gleaming niche]

But we aren't gamers around here, we are tinkerers!

[gleaming niche]

Yeah at least now stick preferences exist for both crowds 😜

[untold temple]

u need tinker G2 only if u get punch with gpu limit

otherwise no, emulation all on single core power

[gleaming niche]

If battery life is a big leap, that is another reason to 'upgrade' to G2. We just don't know yet.

[untold temple]

wonder if turnip will work out of box, or u need to wait polish driver version with new support

should be insta since it the same hardware ..

[gleaming niche]

I hope it's like the Konkr, that thing just works for the most part

[gleaming niche]

Weight is also slightly higher than O2M, screen too but eh

[balmy quartz]

Yeah, I know. Retroid is the brand for people who don't have actual hands. 🙃

[keen marlin]

It feels like Retroid and Ayn swapped designs for the Odin 3 and RP6

[gleaming niche]

I enjoy my RP5 (with a grip)

[keen marlin]

I enjoy my RP5 (without a grip)

[gleaming niche]

But it's not my goto

[keen marlin]

(woman hands)

[untold temple]

eh, 0.65-0.7w wont make big difference i think (on max load)

vs gen2*

[gleaming niche]

Low performance differences will be interesting

[balmy quartz]

Wonder if this G2 chip might be the basis for a forthcoming RP Mini 2. If they can get a high-refresh screen, that is.

[keen marlin]

If mortgage screen is real

Maybe

[balmy quartz]

I do not believe in the mortgage screen. But retroid is welcome to try to prove me wrong.

[cloud lagoon]

if they were going to do the mortgage screen it would have made sense to announce it now

otherwise you miss out on holiday season sales

[gleaming niche]

Mortgage me once...

[balmy quartz]

Won't get mortgaged again?

[gleaming niche]

Give a man a mortgage, he eats for a day

[gritty garden]

The future is now. We already past that.

[balmy quartz]

We're looking at now now. What's happening now is happening ... now.

[keen marlin]

I mean we already have seen the mortgage screen in the Thor and Odin 3

I just mean more like mortgage screen 2

[balmy quartz]

In Retroid lore, the mortgage screen is a 4:3 OLED.

[haughty gale]

This looks amazing and Dpad top was the obvious correct choice here! Also I wanted them to use 8 gen 2 bc of the Rocknix possibility.

[twin storm]

Dpad top with an 8 gen 2 is a wasted opportunity

[vernal forum]

rocknix, more RAM
it's the odin 2 we wanted

[haughty gale]

Only downside is the seemingly reuse of the dpad and buttons. I get the dpad is very solid and the argument of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but I would have liked something slightly bigger, same with the face buttons. I like how every iteration of Aya devices seems to be making their dpad and face buttons better and better while on Retroid it feels like they are scared to make changes.

[twin storm]

I find the retroid dpad to be too small to enjoy longer play sessions

[fiery barn]

There's loads of stick-top 8G2 devices already

[haughty gale]

Exactly! I like it and it’s very accurate but part of me really wants them to try out a larger membrane based dpad. I’m getting spoiled by the post 40xxV anbernic dpad (with the circle ring around dpad) and the newer Aya stuff. Retroid is now third imo

[twin storm]

This could have been the Odin 2 mini update if they would’ve put the dpad down. Almost exact same size with a 5.5 OLED. So close retroid, so close

[keen marlin]

I find the Retroid dpad too perfect to ever want to use anything else

I really wish Retroid made a bt controller

[twin storm]

Anbernic dpads are my favorite. Even on the 405m , where it’s down, it’s still a joy to use

[twin storm]

Like the Odin 2, odin 2 portal, and Odin 2 mini? What else qualifies as “loads”?

[haughty gale]

And Thor and Konkr pocket fit coming out. The latter is gen 3 but priced the same as a 8gen2 device so I’d say it’s pretty much the same market

[vernal forum]

.... I think 3 is loads already lol

[haughty gale]

From my understanding, this will be the first powerful (8gen2 or higher)widescreen dpad top device out there. I prefer dpad top and I just want to have at least one option lol

[hoary lintel]

Sounds like the rp6 will be perfect for you then

I thought a G2 Gen 2 was a gaming focused 8 gen 2 but that clearly isn't the case is it?

[thick goblet]

https://youtu.be/TgnyPLcSny4?si=0N7y48BgxtbHgEde

joey thought on rpg2 and rp6

[keen marlin]

Gaming focused 7 Gen something
