Do you game on a handheld console?

[W1zzard]

With the growing popularity of modern handheld consoles, we’re curious—what do you game on when you’re away from your PC? Whether it’s a Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, or another portable device, let us know what keeps you gaming on the go!

If you can, let us know your age, too.

I did 30 years ago on the Nintendo Game Boy and Sega Game Gear.

I'm quite happy now with my PC and 34" OLED.

And what do I game on when I'm away from the PC? Nothing, I'll get my break from it.

A lot of the regulars are older, and they seem to be more PC focused. It'd be interesting to know the age bandings with handheld use. I never consider gaming when I'm not at my PC.

I've got some Chinese portable emulator/console to play while using train.
But I'm trying too android emulation. (every phone is an emulator and some emulators have already upscalers installed, that old games look great, for example worms armageddon xD )
I thought about buying one of those portable mini pc/console combo, but it costs like better hardware for my pc, so for now only low cost console or android for me .

Still have my GPD Q9+, JXD S7800B and Archos Gamepad1. All Android devices.

Been thinking about a Windows device. Good grief those prices. Even the Steam deck is more than I want to spend for something that is easily broken/damaged.

Switch and SteamDeck. Like them both a lot, for different reasons.

Bought a cheap emulation handheld on aliexpress (R36S for 25€). Discarded the shitty SD, installed a new one. Installed arkOS, configured and customized it to my liking. Filled it with ROMs. Aaaand to the drawer it went.

I prefer tinkering to gaming with it.
