Speaking of Palmer Luckey, he managed to piss off gamers today coz of his company. I don't know why military companies like his and Palantir have to be so unlikeable.
I don't know how much the Palmer Luckey/Anduril connection really weighs on ModRetro, but when
is also doing the FPGA-based retro console thing but without the Marvel supervillain vibes, it's an easy choice for those who are at all squeamish about such things.
P.S. I bought the recently-released Analogue 3D to indulge in some
, but I can't speak to the experience as I don't yet have any controllers for it. 8BitDo have announced the
for their controller that goes with the system, but are yet to actually release it, so I won't get to try the system until they do (February). Fingers crossed that I don't have a dud unit...
P.P.S. While these niche nostalgia boxes aren't exactly cheap, it seems that it's only through the magic of China, Inc. that they are commercially viable at all.
