Anyone want to trade another handheld for my RP5?

I like the idea of my RP5 just the form factor does not work for me

My RP5 GC is mint condition barely used with screen protector and official grip and a carry case

I'm around Toronto Etobicoke

Let me know in anyone wants to trade!

Custom Console Art

Hi everyone, friends! Regarding my 'my custom console' post, I'm thinking about getting a board with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and overclocking it using root access. My plan is to install a heatsink with a cooling fan to push the performance even further. I think this setup will run significantly better than stock. What do you guys think of the idea?

I'm looking into getting a handheld PC, and I’m considering the Steam Deck OLED or an Xbox Ally X. Which one is the better choice?

I want to be at least able to play the modern Resident Evil games lol

Unpopular Opinion: If you almost never leave your house and you already have a gaming PC, getting an expensive handheld gaming console is a waste of money. You can just stream your PC to a cheap tablet or phone instead.

Steam Deck hidden gems most players skip — 10 Verified picks, 3 at historic lows right now

Hi r/HandheldGaming,

Quick data post. I run DeckAlly — a handheld game database that combines compatibility data, deal tracking, and completion times in one place. Just finished a hidden gems query: Steam Deck Verified + Proton Platinum/Gold + not a top-20 most-played title.

Ten games that surfaced, sorted by deal status:

Currently discounted:

  • 🔥 Wall World — $1.04 (85% off, ★ historical low) | Platinum | 11.8h | tower defense + Metroidvania hybrid
  • 🔥 Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective — $9.89 (67% off, ★ historical low) | Platinum | 12.1h | ghost puzzle game from the Ace Attorney creator, absolute cult classic
  • ABZU — $4.34 (78% off) | Gold | 1.9h | ocean exploration from the Journey art director, perfect short session

Worth watching for their next sale (all Verified + Platinum):

  • Mouthwashing — 2.5h | slow-burn psychological horror, no jump scares
  • MULLET MADJACK — 3.3h | kill-timer arcade FPS, incredibly short and punishing
  • COCOON — 5h | puzzle game about nesting entire worlds inside orbs (from the INSIDE/Limbo designer)
  • Skate Story — 6h | you're a glass demon skating to the underworld — sounds weird, plays great
  • Chants of Sennaar — 9.1h | decipher ancient languages by reading context clues, touchscreen-friendly
  • Thronefall — 7.4h | minimalist tower defense, no menus or skill trees, under $10 at full price
  • ANIMAL WELL — 7h | solo-developed Metroidvania with secrets players are still finding months later
