Well, yes and no, at least with the xx line.

They come with their own firmware from the factory but installing a custom firmware is super easy, just flash to sd card and add your games.

I use MuOS on mine but there’s also KNULLI which is a fork of Batocera. I don’t know how well they support normal distros like Ubuntu Touch.

Here’s a good article about custom firmware on the xx line

They’re really fun devices, definitely recommend them 🙂

Dark Souls and Bloodborne are the only games I prefer to watch other people play. I love the look and atmosphere but can’t stand how they feel to play.

I got myself a retro handheld from Anbernic. Costs about the same as a AAA game and has pretty much become my main gaming device.

This. So much this.

I really wish more queer folk and POC would get into Ásatrú. Most of us are just people that enjoy being out in nature and reading old books, sometimes at the same time.

And we drink a lot of coffee.

Plus! Sometimes we even have cookies!
