I feel like I'm about to get into these android based emulators. Which of the Retroid's do you reckon I should go for? This new 2S seems really nice. I want mostly to play arcade games, PS1 and Saturn games. PS2 and Dreamcast would be a nice bonus.

Ah yes we can't have an NCD community without posting Flight Highschool. It is tradition!

Having Lemmy alts is not a bad thing. Using them to circumvent bans very much is, tho.

I always like best-of-both worlds options, so I'm going for a guitar with good high output humbuckers and coil splits on a push pull pot. Ah yeah I did like the sound of C#standard when I tried it on an acoustic guitar this week, and I hadn't thought about being near Drop B. That's a bonus! I know about the Behringer Super Fuzz, but I really don't like the way it sounds. Feels like rattling a tin can of nails. Or angry wasps. I do like Fuzz Face style fuzz, and Muff style, but I want something in between them. That's where the Carcosa goes. I listened to gear demos and reviews of a million fuzz pedals on YouTube and I cannot think of any other that I liked more than that one. The actual ProCo Rat is a bit hard to get here, that's why I was looking into the Joyo clone. Other than it having the issue of not working well under intense heat, it seems to sound just as well as a regular Fat Rat. And I don't intend on playing under the summer sun at midday anytime soon.

Smells like jet fuel? Splendid!

I don't play the tabletop, but I've been getting into the lore side of things over a few years, mostly through videogames and youtube videos. The videogames I can recommend, that are pretty fun and well made and do give you some lore into how things go in the 41st Millenium are Relic's Space Marine (sequel to come out soon) and the Dawn of War series, specifically the first two games. We pretend the third one never happened. They all go on sale frequently on Steam or GoG. Also, I can recommend the immortalized classic "If the Emperor had a Text To Speech Device" on Youtube, and if you're into reading and tabletop RPGs, the also legendary All Guardsmen Party.

I really want one of these, or something similar in the near future. A Steam Deck would be nice, but that's much more expensive and hard to get here. Honestly I just want my PC's emulation power, but in a form I can lay down in bed and play while chilling. I usually go with my Switch Lite for that, but having access to hundreds of retro emulated games would be even better!

You said it all. Episode 8 ruined everything forever. I didn't even bother trying to watch episode 9 after that, and been majorly checked out of anything SW since. The last good SW movie was Rogue One...

They lost the deal for it, after how badly received the end of GoT was. Then again, the new SW trilogy managed to be shit entirely without their help.

Nintendo first party titles are very stingy with sales. Many third party titles however, go on some pretty good sales with decent regularity. You might also want to make a Japan/Hong Kong/Singapore account to grab Asia-exclusive games sometimes, if those interest you.
As for the games I own and would recommend, there's:
-BOTW
-Metroid Dread -Dead Cells
-Hollow Knight
-Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion
-Burnout Paradise
-Fast RMX
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (or Rise)
-Atelier Ryza (or Sophie)
-Mario Kart
Just some general, off the top of my head recommendations. If you want recommendations of specific genres, I might be able to recommend further.

I'd prefer that or going back to Paul Ricard (blegh) or Magny Cours please. Anything but a street race. Not another one.
