Lol me too!! After I looked I wasn't too interested. Also crazy you mentioned Thor, that's the device I don't need that I can't stop thinking about.

    I have thought about the thor or whatever vita looking thing they have but the reality is that I probably wouldn't do a ton of emulation right now. These devices look cool as hell, but I don't need more tech ewaste/paperweights.

    I have a deck and hardly use it when I go anywhere because being an adult is a shitload of responsibility and relationship work... and next to no time alone where I can game in peace. lol

    If I still had a subway/train commute or I was still a bachelor in my 20s or 30s it would be another story though. Deck is way too big for the subway, but the thor is basically just a 3DS. I used a 3ds/vita/ds for over a decade almost daily because of my commute.

    I love my Ally X deck. That's why I didn't buy a Thor. I can run emulators on that. I'm afraid to take it anywhere. And yeah, it feels more like the weight of a musical instrument than a handheld device.
