Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

Purchased My wife a RP5 for Christmas. I could see she’d always wanted to game, but was embarrassed that her controller skills were non existence.
3+ months in, and she’s a button maniac. Her farm in Stardew is insane, and she’s fighting monsters in the caves better than I do.
That little device created a private space for her, to get lost in the magical little world, and in the process has turned her into a gamer.
I never interfered. Only answered her queries when she asked, and let her go at her own pace.
Total game changer. I’m so proud of her.
Can’t wait to get her into some new games, but waiting for her to make the call. All in her own time.

I thought it would be perfect for the Mrs, but she’s refused saying she going to end up staying up way too late because she gets addicted to games 😆
The only thing you’ve got to be cautious about is localised save files of you haven’t set up something like syncthing for backup.
