@matigo Haven’t checked the nitty-gritty details yet, but from the text alone it seems like the builder made all the right choices. Need to dig into this!
I’d probably go for the original Game Boy size though, purely for my own ergonomics sake. Still, a very impressive build!
@phoneboy Just imagine having the Epic Game Store on every iOS device! A direct link from Tencent to millions of devices. What could possibly go wrong?

@matigo Brings back memories. Maybe I need to have a DOS machine ready to go at a moments notice. Just so I can appreciate the modern computing world more.
@jws As long as they actually write good code, optimize their stuff, and give a shit on some level, I’m all for that.

@matigo I love xenophobia and its relatives; nationalism and racism, so much. 🙄 It’s like the world takes 20 steps backwards every time we make progress as a species.
But yeah, like you said. Who the heck has anywhere enough clout to take rudder at this point?
@matigo Ah, another reason for me to dislike them. Anything that has been touched by BAT is something I will avoid as best possible.
@matigo I keep saying it, but I also keep getting more evidence to support my theory practically each day; new developers have fundamentally no respect for hardware!
Optimisation is an unknown phenomenon that they have apparently never heard of, and their "solution" to a slow system is to toss more hardware at it. It just doesn't sit well with me when an older system running on one server did the job fine, but the brand spanking new system running on some hundred servers is slow as molasses in winter most of the time.
@matigo That about sums it up. Personally, I look forward to the day that Apple is forced (somehow) to make their iOS systems more "open" and we get a whole slew of alternative app stores. Can't wait for the inevitable shitstorm that will rain down on the iDevice landscape that day!
If that actually comes to pass, through whatever means, I think I will switch to Ubuntu Touch full time. Rather have that, compared to how people will utterly and completely mess up iOS.
Interestingly also how Epic is not exactly the most liked and admired company in the realm of gaming, as far as I can tell. Seems like they have been going on an unholy crusade against Valve and Steam for some time, which also boiled down to the whole 30% cut of sales on the store. Almost like that is a pseudo-standard.
Funny that.
I suspect that the old words "no matter who wins, we all lose" will ring true again.
The one thing that really pleases me in this whole affair, is that Aso is NOT going to campaign to be the new prime minister. Thank fekk for that!
