The PSP isn’t just nostalgia. It’s still a genuinely great handheld.

That's something we tend to forget: good technology stays good when it's old. Our need to have to next thing was manufactured.

Ive stated this here before. Capitalism has trained everyone that old=bad. Especially with young people.

I am totally contrarian. I mostly hate new things. Because they mostly suck.

I type on a typewriter almost everyday, and when I transfer my texts on a computer it's to edit them with Emacs, so I won't contradict you here 😅
