Right? Where does OP keep his iPad and laptop?

Sure, and I loved my PSP, but remember how Sony tried to sell us movies on disks made just for PSPs?
We were free because the companies sucked at making things terrible, not due to lack of trying.

I watched movies go from VHS, to DVDs , and Sony was at the forefront of all the media changes. So I was sold on the umd format.
I remember being so jealous at my one friend who owned like The Matrix on umd.

We solved this by simply not bringing a camera everywhere. Or, if you followed my clothing style, by just having absolutely massive pockets..
I don't think I've ever had a camera aNd gaming handheld in my pockets at the same time.

as a PSP user the PSP is the coolest looking device with the most shitass graphics and games
it's idolized so much in retrospect but honestly the DS was more iconic

with the most shitass graphics and games
Man what, the PSP was the most advanced handheld of its time. The DS had a worse screen and was much weaker but got away with it because games were really simple visually. PSP games look great.

PSP graphics are pretty good tho, DS is a lot crunchier on that front.

I'm sorry but the PSP had a lot of great games. Jeanne D'Arc, Daxter, The Wipeout series, God of War, Metal Gear Peacwalker, Final Fantasy Tactics, loco roco, Crisis Core, Ys Seven, Mega Man Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Gran Turismo, Monster Hunter, etc.

Yay, love for Ys Seven!!!

Death Jr, Death Jr 2, Work Time Fun, and if you have a PS Vita running Adrenaline then all the ps1 games (idk if the OG psp would too but Adrenaline definitely will).
underscores -1 points 2 days ago
All mid except for crisis core
I mostly played GBA through emulation and PS1
and I had a jailbroken PSP and tried dozens of top rated games

My homebrewed PSP was my laptop before I had a laptop. It was an amazingly versatile device considering it's era!

Hmmm I feel both of them are pretty evenly matched. Both have a wealth of great and beautiful games, both have a nice design. I do think the DS is more iconic in the strictest sense. It has the zeitgeist of the gameboy behind it and has been in production longer in some form or another.

I used to travel with a netbook, a UMTS modem, a camera, a satnav (when traveling by car), an MP3 player, speakers for the player plus, of course, a separate charger for each device and a bunch of cables. I felt so cool and modern.
Edit: and my phone, of course. Like, you could make phone calls with it.

Won't be the last time. Once forced Android verification lands, you're gonna see a lot of fediverse and darkweb peeps only accessing this side of the web from laptops and second devices, until Firefox and Linux go to shit on PC and we lose any and all privacy everywhere.
~5-10 years-ish?

Broke the OLED screen on my cheapish Motorola. Got a cheap TFT replacement for now. Now my phone is heavy. Not quite Walkman heavy but close.

True, but it hasn't really innovated much. There's the foldable screen, but it mostly just looks the same.

You call those old?

No one is stopping you to live like this, you can buy more older camera with great sensors for cheap, there are modern mp3 players that can play flac for less than 100, and pocketable consoles that can play a shitload of old games

Society runs on apps now. When I call my bank customer service, they tell me to install the app. Not having Instagram has been a career sacrifice. The last time I went to a concert, I told security my ticket was at will call and not on my phone, and he took my phone and installed Google wallet and connected my account to try to see my purchase history.
That's on me for letting an asshole take my phone, but the point is that life has become a constant battle to keep things simple.
Hiro8811 2 points 19 hours ago
That's fair but you don't have to carry the phone with you, you could have instagram on your pc and you can probably print your tickets or ask a friend to bring yours if you're going together.

I prefer the nano design with the shorter screen, this one throws off the balance of the device somehow

This is why cargo pants were so popular in that decade.
