I wish I had a retro handheld enthusiast friend IRL (lemmy.ml)

I really wish I had an IRL friend that was into retro handhelds just like I am.

We could sit on the couch, hang out and play and show off our games and devices to eachother. Show how we've progressed in our games. Infodump about the weirdest facts related to Gameboys, DSs, emulator handhelds and so on.

But, I don't have any IRL friends who are at all interested in this stuff.

I'm sad :(

It's the age of the WWW! There are literally forums & communities full of like-minded folks who enjoy doing exactly as you describe, just online.

I mean, sure it's always nice when such buddies can physically hang out, but headsets and cameras can at least help with that, and there's various retro games that can be played together online.

I find modders and builders fascinating, too:
