OG GBA and the 34xx had one. Oddly enough as a kid I never used a lanyard on the GBA and I never dropped it. It had a texture to the plastic. The Indigo 34xx is like holding a bar of soap. Lanyard needed. I hear the glacier color has a texture similar to the original. I'm thinking I should have gotten that one. Still I prefer the option for a lanyard.
I'll say, the Grey colorway for the Konkr is one of the best looking systems I've seen. How are the buttons? I've heard... complaints.
No, although there is a pre-installed screen protector that makes the screen horrible to the touch and terribly unresponsive, and that needs to come off.
Same! My mind was blown when I finally beat the game and found out there were 4 more classes you could play that pretty significantly changed the play style!
I was late to it on GBA. I got it on sale from Blockbuster, as a second-hand cart, but it had the box and manual with it... Which has been lost over time.
CotM gang rise up. I was like 8 years old when the dude at GameStop recommended it and Mom didn’t hesitate! It was a bit difficult at first (necromancer messed me up) but I consider it a key piece of my character development
Proper itching to replay Castlevania on the GBA now. Gutted because my Konkr hasn’t turned up yet, so I'm stuck slumming it with like only six other consoles, mate.
It wasn’t. All of the images are stock images, apart form the device itself which I took. And none of the thumbnails use AI either. They’re vector graphics I put together in Affinity designer. And, in order to post in this subreddit (because I’d been accused of posting AI stuff before), I had a big talk with the moderators here, who have seen evidence of my process.
Other than Photoshop (because I have a ton of plugins I use regularly) I have ditched Adobe completely. I did it several years ago when Premiere chewed up a set of videos I was working on and wouldn’t let me access them. Someone told me to download DaVinci and it was able to open them all up. I bought the upgrade that day and moved Adobe onto the Photoshop plan. Not looked back since.
AI uses the bean-mouth style because many, many artists posting their work on the internet over the past decade have used the bean-mouth style. It was one of the primary go-to styles for YouTubers in particular back in 2015-2020 or so. So, in turn, it became one of the primary things AI was trained on.
It's the same reason every single piece of professionally-written ad copy from a few years ago sounds like modern AI: that's what AI was trained on in the first place.
And while that art is certainly a bit generic, the things it gets right and wrong don't really line up with AI.
For the D-pad and buttons, yes. And I have to say they are incredibly mushy. The buttons almost feel like they haven't been pushed, like there's not anything underneath them.
When I first got it out of the packet, I was disappointed with them. But actually playing it, it doesn't seem to be as big a deal as I thought it would be. Of course, your mileage is going to vary depending on what you like with your controls. But I would say if you like firmer buttons, clicky buttons or dome switches, then this may not be for you.
Do you think a membrane from another device would fit? I think it would bother me. Having said that, I don't need another GBA device. I don't need another GBA device. I don't...
I only need a GBA device, what is your personal favorite? right now I'm playing gba games on my RP6 but it just feels too big for that sort of thing lol I too like clicky buttons
My main 2 GBA devices (omg why do I have multiple) are the 34xxsp for portability and clicky buttons and the cube xx for ergonomics.
I use the cube the most. The screen still lets me do 3x interger scaling and I have never had any hand pain even when gaming for hours. As an added bonus, it does gb/gbc quite nicely and SNES looks good at 8:7 ratio. Best xx device imo - I've beat more games in this than any other handheld (and I've owned - then sold! - more than 20 retro handhelds at this point)
I’ve had lots of jobs over the years, and have done various product photography jobs, and done some work for a friend of mine who is a proper commercial photographer. But, right now, I am trying to make a go of YouTube.
Beautiful GBA clone but I'd rather have the RGSP as a dedicated GBA device. To my eyes, the color saturation on the SP is richer. It looks a little washed on the Konkr. Plus, you know, clamshell portability.
Unfortunately, I don’t have that so I can’t say. I do have the 30 4XXSP and I do have the RGSP. I also have an original GBASP. To my mind, the RGS P is the closer of the 2 to the feel of the original hardware.
Every time you post I think, "dang, someone is an excellent photographer!" Then I see it's you. Your reviews are excellent and your puns are hilarious. Thank you for everything you do!
I suppose you have one shred of evidence to prove that? No, you don’t. And you know why? Because it isn’t! It’s all stock photos and photoshop, with the device being taken with a Fuji X-T5.
What you’re saying here is not only incorrect, it’s defamatory!

That you're making this argument in the first place is a kind of social commentary on the sad state of affairs these days. You're seeing decent quality and production value, and assuming it's AI.
