@Altair@social.diachron.net im most tempted by the AYN Thor, since it has that cool DS form factor, but i also dont want it so badly that i need to buy it on credit, so i'll re-evaluate the market whenever i get re-employed. I bought myself a newish phone because i figure i'll get more mileage out of that, and so far I think this was the right call. It's good enough and its also a phone. its a Moto Stylus 5G 2024, by the way. i looked at a bunch of options and moto has the "value to bullshit" sweet spot where you get a good GPU and very little bloatware for less than $300. there's still some bloatware, but like, not much.

@nycki@critters.gay The AYN Thor truly looks elegant as an Android handheld, but I wonder how easy it would be to make the "closed" mode work on a custom Android ROM. :AltairThink: The specs on your phone are awesome!~ Is it much fun to draw on with the included stylus?~ :AltairExcited: As that makes it o perfect for both notetaking and impulsive doodling.~ https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g_stylus_5g_(2024)-12787.php Going for a new phone over a "nice to have" handheld was probably the best choice (as smartphones will probably get more expensive too), but I truly hope you can find the means to get your dream handheld too so you can easily bring it with you wherever you go on queer adventures~ 🐮:AltairPat:
