Comment on Miyoo teases their GBA SP inspired retro handheld

  I have the Plus one, also very happy with the size, so all's good. I just know I keep the wifi off almost all the time, so I'm quite confused by the RE craze.

    Retro achievements are just a nice way to focus on specific games. Since not every game has them, it’s a nice way to whittle down the choice paralysis. It’s nice to just keep track of the others of your games as a whole.

    However, I do wish the overall RA community was less obsessed with the fake internet points that come with them though. That’s why there’s no plan for an offline version, they’re scared people will manipulate their scores. It’s dumb.

      I love the idea of using RA for new game discovery or choosing which one to play! I need to try it out, even without actually using the achievements themselves. Thanks for sharing!

      Don't they have a "hardcode" mode already for that?

        They do have a hardcore mode, but the discourse is still the same in forums whenever people ask about the potential of an offline mode.
