We’ve covered Analogue’s gorgeous, high-end retro hardware here a lot, but now the company has officially taken up residence in Tiny Cartridge’s wheelhouse. The Analogue Pocket is a $200 handheld with a USB-C charger, a 1600x1440 screen, stereo speakers, and – this is the important bit – compatibility with all Game Boy, Color, and Advance games, plus available adapters for Game Gear, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, “and more.”
The thing also comes with the chiptune sequencer Nanoloop preinstalled, meaning it’s useful as a musical instrument!
Instead of emulation, the Pocket uses the same kind of FPGA-based hardware as previous Analogue consoles, which is to say games should run really accurately.
And with an optional dock, this thing will output to TV and connect to Bluetooth controllers. It’ll be out sometime next year!

Okay look. Stephanie Meyer contributed four (4) cool things to the contemporary fantasy genre, which I shall now list here in the hopes of getting it out of my system. In descending order of importance:
1. Writing a story about a girl who wants something. Plot driven by a woman’s (non-vilified) desire. Truly dreadful execution but still a good idea, sort of a literary incarnation of the “he a little confused but he got the spirit” meme.
2. The fact that when Bella becomes a vampire she can still breathe but “there’s no relief tied to the action” which I remember verbatim because it fucking slapped. The idea of human physical sensations being partially defined by our mortality and the sensations still exist after you become undead but your experience of them is fundamentally different because you no longer need any of it? Extremely cool. The closest Meyer came to taking an interesting stance on vampires being dead.
3. Werewolves are immortal but they can literally stop whenever they want. That shit’s hilarious. Curse of immortality who.
4. The fact that vampires don’t sleep or get tired so their communally-raised baby doesn’t have a crib because she is always in someone’s arms. That was extremely cute and there’s a different, better book contained somewhere in that specific concept.
“hey asshole, tell your ‘buddy’ that i won’t be fallin’ for anymore of those pyramid schemes. i don’t even know what a ‘pyramid’ is. think again, dickhead.”
I think my favourite part of the Thor trilogy is how at the end of dark world we saw this
And we all just went “OH SHIT!!! LOKI’S KING!!! EVERYONE’S FUCKED!!!” But then Ragnarok rolled around and it turns out all he does is
Watch plays of himself and
Build big statues like hot damn the avengers really wasted a whole movie tryna stop this bitch when they could have just written him a play and built him a statue and he would’ve been satisfied
