My cat is being very patient with me coding on my cyberdeck instead of petting her while she's on my lap.
@mauve Ooh, can I ask about your cyberdeck?
I've been seeing more people talking about them recently, but am not quite sure what people are using them for?
(besides ignoring their cats :p /s)
@ragman TBH I'm not sure what folks new to the scene are using them for beyond a creative outlet for making a lil gadget that looks cool. 😅 I'm mostly in it for portable computing for programming and information processing. I think a lot of folks use them for playing old games via emulators?
@mauve The using it for games and making cool 3D printed enclosures is my take on it as well, yeah.
I've got a little pre-built handheld emulator (a miyoo mini plus) that I got on AliExpress for like $35, but I see the appeal in making a custom one!
@mauve Just video games really. I played Castlevania Symphony of the Night and a few Pokemon rom hacks on it.
I like the nostalgia factor of it (it reminds me of my childhood gameboy) and that, unlike my smartphone, it doesn't have any non-game distractions.
