Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄

Interesting, i love the size of the steam deck - its a positive for me not a con. Im tempted to check out one of the smaller ones for fun if the price is right, but i also love the ‘all in one’ solution (so i dont have to sync game saves between devices etc) My 5yo daugher got heavily into Mario Odysee too! We have a switch so we let her on it, but had to wind back game time as she got a bit too obsessed. She went from being barely able to jump on boxes (as jump + move at the same time was hard) and like 3 weeks later she bet the basic game, and now is nearly 400 moons… She keeps asking me for help finding them and im like ‘kid, you surpassed my knowledge of the game a month back’

My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.
The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.
