(figured I'd 'do my part' and make my first Lemmy post...!)

I love this thing too much to part with, but I'm gonna have to be honest: I barely use it. More often or not I retro-game on my Steam Deck...slightly more portable!

Has anyone else built their own units for retro-gaming though?

We've got a full-size arcade cabinet in our kitchen. Was a DIY passion project of my husband's before we met, and it was fun for a while because the various niblings would play with it when they came round for the big family breakfasts we used to do. Sometimes if I was alone in the house I'd leave it on demo mode just to have some comforting background noise.

Niblings grew up, I got used to the quiet of a small town, and I don't think it's even been turned on in about five years because we've also got way more portable options ๐Ÿ˜
