>True. I guess as long as it stays contained in that general.
Indeed, it's what I think aswell, it's good having a general to keep all of that discussion contained...

>To me it seems their just advertising for free to get get people to buy their 200+ dollar device.
Oh, there are surely shills there, I have no doubt, but a lot of them just like their own stuff and like to talk about it I guess... it's a bit of everything.

We got chunky battery monster devices in 1990, by 2001 it might've made it slightly bigger and a bit more expensive, but not as bad as people say, technology had come a long way in over a decade to make that possible, that was just Nintendo at the time wanting to make it as cheap as possible to maximize sales, which is understandable, but I think the OG GBA suffered for it quite a lot by it.

I guess the reason I complain now is because this left an impression on me, all of the other kids at my school with GBAs had the SP and could play in the dark before bed, or any light conditions, fine.

All the while I struggled to play a console, whose library I adore by the way, because of its awful screen, and what sucked harder is I found the OG GBA more ergonomic than a SP, but the screen...

I have a grudge and bad memories of something I desperately wanted to love and have lots of nice memories with, but absolutely couldn't because I found it so uncomfortable to try and play then. All I can say is thank God for emulation and these smartphone emulators and emulation handhelds we have nowadays, being able to play this superb library anywhere with good screens is true bliss.
