I really don't care if I can save even more bucks just by watering some virtual plant on ali's app, I can do that while shitting. I'll continue to get the same portable emulators from there without paying a local seller way more money.

Yeah because the seller just resell you the Temu/AliExpress junk with a markedup price.

And some of them even just dropship stuff.
