I get it for portability, but the RP5 is great and not that big… why you'd want a tint screen to squint at, I dunno. But I'm old and have varifocals, so anything smaller than a decent size phone is practically invisible to me. 
Will write something properly, at length, when I'm done tinkering with it - setting up is fine, making everything work and checking each title when you have hundreds of games takes a while - but for now, tl;dr:
Fucking hell, the Retroid Pocket 5 is goddamn amazing. I'll never need another retro device to do what I want to do ever again.
You need to show me how to access the bits you're talking about, Gar, because they sound fun. I've bounced off NMS multiple times because the tutorial is all 'mine this, build that' and I get bored before I even get off the first planet.
The producer of the original game, I think. It's the games industry's version of the Snider Cut.
re: the Sony thing, outside of Sonic racing and Digimon, it was just poe-faced surly men exploring dark detailed environments, killing stuff. Why is that all AAA gaming is now? I can't be fucked with any of it.
