What are you talking about that thing looks adorable?
Would look cute dangling from a bag/purse or something.
Honestly my big hangup is trying to justify a dedicated player when a decent DAC can be had for as cheap as like $50
I think it looks way too childish, even for one of those retro handhelds. I just don't get why it needs to look like a Game Boy (which it doesn't really, if anything it looks like a Pokémon Mini).
Maybe I'm just too much of a manly man to enjoy such things, idk.
I get it. Ive never like how everything now (cars, houses, devices) are ALL: SILVER. SILVER. SILVER. BLACK. SILVER.
I'll go back to beige any day.
Looks its not my fault you neither want to be cute nor whimsical, lol.
If I had a use for it I'd try to get one color matched to some good nail polish, maybe print out a custom case to match it with my portable meshcore node too.
