  • this is really dope! My psp was the best handheld I’ve ever had (and I’ve got a steam deck)

    it could do sooooo much once it was hacked, I remember being in 2006 and switching between making calls and sending texts from skype, to emulating gameboy color, to trying all the homebrew games written in lua, to watching my tv shows, to playing AAA games, to browsing the web, all on one device that fit in my pocket. It made my friend’s razor phones look outdated. It was a smart phone before smart phones.
