I got a retroid pocket ages ago. Thing's been in a drawer since day 1. Feels incredibly clunky, both hardware and software. It just feels like a cheap toy.
I have an analog pocket now that does everything I wanted the retroid for much better, and even though it's not quite the same form factor, the steam deck is an emulation beast too.
The AI bullshit all over this game is extremely concerning. If this isn't pushed back on, it's going to become an industry trend.
