  • It depends what you want to emulate. Most consoles can do PSX and below without any trouble. A lot of devices share the same chipset so that’s a big thing to look out for.

    If you want to get into things like PS2 and GameCube you are going to have to pay more and likely consider Android.

    A console with HDMI out and Bluetooth might be what you are looking for so you can potentially have that desktop experience you are used to.

    Just a heads up the “10,000 in 1” game claims that every of these devices advertises isn’t something you should consider. It’s going to be a lot of games you’ve never heard of for older systems like the NES so they fit on lower capacity SD cards. Potentially in multiple languages. It also comes on SD cards most people would recommend replacing.

    It’s better to just download the entire library, individual games, or an already curated collection.














  • I believe the term punk has kind of drifted towards a catch-all term to describe something that clashes against what is considered the norm for most people.

    There are definitely traditional punk themes in genres like cyberpunk and solarpunk. I feel like with dieselpunk and steampunk it’s largely a matter aesthetics.

    Kind of an easy way to describe broad themes. If you are looking for a game similar to Mad Max for example with a post apocalypse desert that’s full of scavengers it might be easier to just use the term desertpunk.
