miles being 23 is mindblowing

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

Yeah, he looks more like 34.5 but in a good way. You know what I mean?

[@iMoha46]

i know wtf I thought he was 40 something

[@ChrisKerel]

@@user-ii7xc1ry3x Yeah I know exactly what you mean. He's gonna look exactly like this when he's 52.

Are you saying that if his face was the bible, it would be the Old Testament?

[@muhtasimmunir1830]

I said F**k out loud

[@Sid-LSHN]

ain't NO way Miles is my age, that blows my mind

[@ۥۥ0ۥۥ]

Everyone is talking about Miles being 23 *but no one is talking about how Mariah and Alex put a Tamagotchi in S tier.*

[@thealexwolfe1]

They're iconic and timeless I see zero issues

[@ronaldmcdonald6067]

They are legit e-waste bruh​@@thealexwolfe1

[@vinyfiny]

The Tamagotchi does exactly what it's designed and described to do and it's tiny. Nothing but S tier.

[@d01c0xc]

i have one, they’re perfect and deserve to be in S tier

[@ckf36]

MILES IS 23 ???????????? Thought bro was 30. That’s the most cursed thing about this entire video.

[@markkithinji2666]

😂😂💔

[@JaceKeller]

Gen Z look way older than they are. There are some students at my work place that look 30 and they are 16-17

[@mirzasaysrelax]

He's a year younger than me 😳

[@pibob2314]

The GameBoy Color being D tier hurts me so much

[@Broba_Fett]

Yeah made no sense when they had the playdate higher 💀

[@LouisPerronmusic]

It would've been S tier if they had a mind-blowing purple translucent one

[@darmoforeelz5857]

​@@LouisPerronmusicAtomic purple sure is a beauty, have two of them bad boys displayed on my collection shelf 😁

[@cmmartti]

​@@Broba_Fett Yeah, the Playdate should be S-tier. Hearing them complain about the screen is ridiculous, that Sharp Memory LCD screen has insanely high contrast, especially under daylight conditions, and it's the whole reason the device exists. It's a retroreflective screen, so obviously it doesn't work well if all the lights are in front of you (studio) and not behind or above you (living room, the sun). And some of the games on it are fire.

[@chetanhs123]

andrew being 10 years older than Miles and asking him whether he had a GameBoy is peak

[@DaKoin]

I watch too much Shxt n Gigs .. so I understand the "peak" comment

[@PhilCunliffe]

The trackpads on the steamdeck are incredible! You can configure them to be weapon wheels or custom menus for games, it makes playing PC games with complex controls actually possible portably.

[@bosstowndynamics5488]

The issue here is that you need to do all of that configuration for each game (or even if there's a community config you need to learn it with all of the random idiosyncracies that come with some random person's idea of a good custom control scheme) and it still leaves you with small touchpads instead of a mouse. I'm sure it's useful but it's definitely not fit everyone

[@andreas4010]

​@@bosstowndynamics5488amen for community controls

[@tanmaywho]

I agree I love the trackpads on steam deck. One of the reason I didn't want a Rog ally.

[@muticere]

Yeah, the track pads are what pushed the SD ahead of the ROG Ally for me. Even if I do have to dual boot it to play windows games, or go through multiple hoops of trickery to get non-steam games to play on the Steam OS side. Then again, I love that kind of thing, too, so win-win tbh

[@DesignsByMario]

Yeah, it's also what made the Steam Controller so special. It was so good for playing any PC games, not just those that had built in support.

[@henrycollins2478]

I’m such a nerd that despite having had a ti84 plus for 4 years, I’ve never played any games, because I need it for calculus

[@Legority]

why not both?

[@jagpreetsingh3221]

PSP was way ahead of it's time in 2010.

[@VikramPremanand]

When you mod a Vita (takes about five minutes, one-time process), I'd say it instantly becomes an S-Tier console. Emulates basically everything until the PSP. Still using mine to this day, got it when I was in year 7, and I'm 23 now. The modding & homebrew communities have really breathed new life into the Vita.

[@AryaStarky]

It’s just very weak though?? I tried playing gba games but they surprisingly lag.

[@TWitWoW]

@@AryaStarky GBA on Vita runs great, are you using the gPSP core on retroarch?

[@TheYEAHZOMBIE]

@@AryaStarky dude I play lots of gba with mine and its all great

mcdonalds used to give simple handheld consoles with their happy meal, most fun i have had on a portable console

[@thealexwolfe1]

McDonalds toys fell off so hard

[@julianhernandez2705]

Did the Playdate so dirty, it's hard to see the screen in the dark but it's not THAT bad in normal conditions.

[@chrys9256]

They're under studio lights, it's a fair criticism.

[@dpgwalter]

⁠@@chrys9256It’s a reflective screen so I assume their studio lights were behind the screen with no lights behind them and a lot of light in front. A backlight could be cool but the screen is really nice in practically any daylight lighting condition and is pretty much the best screen under sunlight, so this is kinda just user error imo. Also massively undersold the entire concept of the console (a community supported ecosystem with every console being a devkit to make games on for others) and the huge indie community it has, which I assume was down to them not being told about any of the device beyond a one line summary.

[@charleslaferriere2282]

I heard about 2 persons online talking about it and they were almost unable to explain how much they love it XD

[@chrys9256]

@@dpgwalter Yes, because that's exactly how most people play games, under direct sunlight, it's not like the sun ever goes down or that people might want to play at home or anything dumb like that, totally user error.

[@TheKryce]

@@chrys9256 well yeah the entire point of the playdate is that you're supposed to play it in the sun

[@trevozneoma]

The blips on those Tamagotchis took me straight back to 4th grade. It’s insane how a sound can do that.

playing doodle jump on my ti-84 plus c back in high school was such a vibe

[@samsam21amb]

Seeing people review/use the calculator (and playing games on it) literally use like everyday feels so weird. And it just reminded me that I have a math exam in a few days.

[@RandySloan]

Oh my God, thank you guys so much for this episode. Please do one waveform like this

[@ImChaitanya]

The number of title changes this video has gone through is absolutely mind boggling!!!!!

[@AdamTyree]

I don’t know what made me feel older today; my back pains, or the fact that they had to explain what a Tamagotchi was

[@madhavmehta2036]

I love how we can see all of the team's thoughts and opinions!

[@TheLastMillennial]

Happy to see the TI-84 Plus CE featured! You can jailbreak the calculator to run games using Artifice. I made a whole video on why TI tried (and failed) to lock down the calculator. If you have any question I'm happy to answer!

[@uKoalele]

[@tdewee2480]

Do a home automation setup video, just like your desk/bag videos.

[@BrandonPoindexter-sb5jn]

Man i had a TI-89 Titanium and HP 50G in college and wasted so many hours putting and playing games on them, programming small scripts on them for physics class, etc. I kind of enjoyed the process tbh.

[@Offsecwrkr]

I figured out how to unbrick the TI-84CE calculator. Just takes some time and understanding on how to read code and alter it by tapping into the physical hardware.

[@ivovass195]

As someone that spent many hours (and battery sets) on my ti83 in school and later on the ti89 in university playing games after quickly finishing the tasks, I can say it is S tier as official school gear. I still have my pc link cable (with serial port and not usb) to this day and my ti89 still works fine.

[@BizzleByron]

Tamagotchi & Snake on the Nokias literally got me through school

[@tinyplanet_360]

The LG looks perfect for watching KZbin and commenting in live chat or just reading comments.

[@nickthaskater]

I chose the GPD Win Max 2. It's smaller than a Steam Deck in terms of width, is a full blown laptop with keyboard and clamshell lid, and has a great built-in gamepad. I absolutely love it and it's both my daily PC as well as my primary gaming device.

[@______________890]

Love these studio videos

[@yoshikinanami7434]

Oh wow finally someone who said they’d prefer carrying an actually portable device rather than a Steam Deck. I’m so tired of these chonky modern handhelds, give me back thin and pocketable devices pleaseeee.

[@miguelmontoya1320]

Weird, I already watched this video but it had a different title, something like "We test $2300 dollars in handhelds."

[@moewzers9136]

The touchpad is actually super useful to use as secondary aiming in FPS games.

[@ibrahimadabo9417]

So cool to see those old video games. PS Vita is definitely B tier but modded?? That thing is S tier for sure!

[@filiproch3653]

table at 1:15 shows values in Gb, probably should be GB

[@edwardlauder]

Where’s the switch in this video!!! The 3ds…? All the Nintendo stuff!?

[@XINN1X]

the best ones are actually the $40 Miyoo Mini Plus for games before N64, the $44 RG35XXH for PSP games and before, and $200 Retroid Pocket 4 pro for switch games and before unless you have steam deck money and dont mind such a big device. Also the steam deck can have windows on it so they clearly did almost zero research for this video

[@bosstowndynamics5488]

The Steam Deck can have Windows on it but putting Windows on it kills a lot of the advantages it has over other handhelds, it's not as simple as "just put Windows on it lol"

[@juanpazmino8645]

Come on guys!! the Gameboy Color has a wonderful game library, and you missed a lot of consoles. Overall good video.

[@theoneandonlybat]

11:10 imagine explaining to your teacher how are you playing gta 6 on your calculator

[@Sandr44]

We at our school have the Casio classpad 2. There’s an unofficial OS which allows sideloading binary code like for example an Gameboy emulator

[@saltag]

No DS!?

[@Broba_Fett]

Sadly there is no tier above S.

[@milkmanchannel1]

When they brought out the Ally I was excited for them to look at the Legion Go...

[@EoghanBell]

How can you give the Gameboy D tier and the Vita B. That's just not right.

[@Manganellia1]

Honestly, it's pure nostalgia for both. Miles never had the magic of getting some color after playing black and white for years and that's why the Gameboy Color speaks to so many of us

[@thealexwolfe1]

It was only shown briefly but I managed to talk Mariah into a higher tier thankfully 😂 millennials stand up

[@adwaitgoku27]

All those tech enthusiasts and they don't understand the point of non backlit displays.

[@sethptheexe]

Mariah brings the heat from the start 😂 they yearn for the mines

[@nurmbms90]

An FPGA based device like the analogue pocket does things different as compared to a Steam deck . Steam deck plays AAA well. Analogue pocket don’t but it does hardware emulation better than steam deck’s software based emulation due to the fact that the pocket is a FPGA based device . An lastly , I do have an oled steam deck . It’s fantastic but based on my experience, loading games takes long at times or the deck freezes when I load a game . For pocket, I don’t have any issues so far . So user experience matters as well. Seems like the pocket is well built too. But that’s subjective . Great video either ways.

[@Cobman1999]

Play date being C tier breaks my heart 😭 love that thing

[@BakaDani]

Something that should be mentioned about the Ally and Steam Deck is that if you only care about it running Windows, it's not hard to install Windows on the Steam Deck.

[@mxmus08]

Mariah and Alex had that older brother and young innocent sister vibe.

[@brrandonwong]

can we get an updated EDC video 👀

[@galaxspace1]

you could have made the video twice as long. There are so many other portable consoles that are still fan favourites

[@thealexwolfe1]

Maybe there will be a sequel someday 👀

[@Manganellia1]

Always a balance! Def lots of others, but felt we hit a good range here. And like Alex said, could always do another!

[@doomy_doomy2225]

I like this video cause you get to see how spoiled the new generation is and the ones that work at MK studio. Then the rest of us that grew up with the incremental improvements appreciate it. I wonder how a 9 year old now would play with a gameboy or ds

[@iMac9991]

4:46 I mean, I'm 24 and I still grew up with the GBC and GBA (as well as DS/DSi of course), same with a lot of my friends. So being 23 isn't really that he was "too young" for a GBC imo.

[@joelchrono]

No Miyoo Mini Plus or Anbernic or PSP or GBA at least? we need a part 2

[@BlackestBeard]

Gameboy color/pocket, in Atomic Purple, is an instant S tier for me personally. Backlight aside, the game library is amazing!

If Nintendo put a Steam Deck level processor in the Nintendo Switch then I would definitely buy it.

The Switch 2 is rumored to be released early next year and it's also rumored to be slightly more performant than a Steam Deck.

Has Andrew actually ever used a IBM Thinkpad? How do you compare a pointing stick (the red nub) to a optical mouse? Also, is Miles also afraid of keyboards, since they have so many buttons?
