    I’ve bought a retro console recently and these are the options I came across. That’s all I know.

    I’m in the UK and I can see a TrimUi Smart Pro for £30 on eBay.i can also see a vertical brick Anbernic RG35XX for £30.

    Definitely check out eBay listings. You should be able to get old €60 RRP devices for a lot less. I got my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for a bargain price because everyone seemed to be dumping recent consoles to buy the Retroid Pocket 5.

    There are a hell of a lot of options and you need to decide on the form factor you want. Have a look at this video for a general overview of the possibilities at every budget. Whatever you decide on, I would recommend getting it on eBay to avoid delivery charges, tax, etc. You’ll get a lot more value out of used “like-new” products.

    You could use an old Android phone and this might be a most versatile option…although locking down might be an issue (depending on how young this sibling is).

    For emulation consoles:

    Miyoo mini is probably the cheapest option in your budget for you that can play what you want. Also look at the Anbernic 35XX device range (same hardware in a ton of formfactor options).

    I would personally look for a deal on a Powkiddy X55 (or TrimUI Smart Pro is a bit cheaper) to get a candybar form factor and up to PSP games. Retroid pocket 3 pro might be a good option too if you can find a bargain.

    Here’s a tip for how I’ve improved my social media experience greatly:

    Stick to a rule of 1 comment and no further replies.

    Strangers online are not going to be convinced by your point of view and there is nothing to gain from getting into a back and forth conversation. Unless it’s a particularly positive or productive conversation about a particular interest you share…there’s nothing to gain from arguing online and lots of potential mental damage you risk.

    I agree completely and struggle with the same.

    Lemmy is too small and insular. Only mainstream (politics) or echo chamber (Linux) content gets enough momentum.

    Reddit was large enough that you could shun the main communities and still find enough content in really niche communities.

    People also don’t stick to designated communities and posts overflow to all sorts of places. I block all politics, but want to see memes. But all the meme communities are overflowing with political memes.

    It’s a difficult time politically too, and Lemmy (socially liberal) is very much against incumbents (conservative nationalists) in most parts of the world.

    My advice would be to expect little relevant content. Use an app that let’s you block things (I like Boost). Block all the communities and keywords you want (Trump, parliament, elections, Ukraine, etc etc). Ultimately cut back on social media use as it will always focus on politics. Go directly to sites that cover content you like.
