The reason they can't market towards kids is not because the gaming market has become big, but because the growth potential for advertising to kids is too small. There are no kids. Society is broken and no one is having kids. Even suggesting to a woman to have children is now in the best case scenario taboo, in the worst case scenario is considered misogyny worthy of a prison sentence. The only "children" women want to take care of are illegal immigrants from some god forsaken hell whole, who are also adults.

So the only market that exists and keeps having a reliable potential for growth, not just in gaming, but in entertainment as a whole, is adults. And this might also be what has caused media to be stuck in this remake era. They keep playing on adult's nostalgia, instead of making something that children of today might like.

GPD is the company that started this x86 handheld trend.
I showed the Win 4 because it's the most pocketable, but yeah, the clamshell is better for durability (unless your younger cousin breaks the hinge lol, rip my nds).
But the Mini follows the same trend as every other device. It's called Mini but is actually bigger than it's predecessors. Win 1 and 2 were smaller.
I think the problem with making a small handheld is that it's going to be objectively worse at everything. Battery life, thermals, performerce, button feel etc.

@LukeAlmighty gaming phone, it can emulate like 2010 x86 games quite well + basically every console

What you are asking for though is probably impossible currently if you want it usable and with more than 5 minutes of battery life

HAHAHAHAHAHA BIG TECH IS FUCKED


> Trump said the import tariff rate for Taiwan will be set at 32%.


edit: semiconductors exempt(???) so maybe not quite that bad

Where did Trump pull out such a high number for European tariffs on US import? The EU doesn't have such high tariffs on the US. The average is just few percent

I don't care if AI scrapes stuff but for fucks sake don't swamp people's servers, people are entitled to hate you if you do that

@Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon I understand, but you are relativizing an absolute claim and if your wages haven't increased with inflation, you are in a small minority.

@Goalkeeper @Vidmastereon Not in the US :omegalul: , I'm just looking at the numbers.
My gas price is beating inflation.
