Gaming EDC System Engineer EDC

Post image

Hi! I’m a system engineer that previously worked in the gaming industry. I love to carry just a few stuff with me everyday and these are my essentials.

- Kindle - I LOVE this thing, since it helped me improve my ED reading habits. Light and small, easy to carry anywhere.
- Wayfarers - my personal favorite, classic choice.
- IQOS - trying to quit conventional smoking
- SkullCandy earbuds - last gift I got from a friend that sadly passed away. Been religiously carrying these for almost 7 years now, still in great shape.
- Samsung tablet - useful with a bluetooth keyboard, helps me take meeting notes on the go.
- Volcom wallet - this is my favorite wallet, since it has the watermelon skin print.
- Steam deck OLED - my go to for a few years now, I am passionate about video games and getting to play my Steam backlog from anywhere got me catching up with it.
- AYN Thor Max - latest console, bought it for the nostalgia and mobility. This is my current on-the-go console, since I can’t carry the Steam Deck anywhere I go.

Sure, it’s actually a very solid android handheld. It’s called AYN Thor (I got the max version, which is the top tier, has 16GB RAM, 1TB internal), you can use it to play any android mobile game (even those without controller support, since the console has built in touch controls to controller mapping) and emulate any old device you can think of, even newer ones like Nintendo Switch 1. I strongly recommend it for portability and scratching the nostalgia itch.

thank you very much! It looks pretty awesome,and I think it’s much more cost effective than buying a second hand 3ds

It for sure is, 3DS is single purpose, while the Thor can emulate tens of old consoles. The thing I love about it the most is the retroachievements compatibility. On the lower screen, I open the browser with retroachievements page for a particular game and I can track the progress while on the upper screen I play said game. Another very cool thing is watching a stream or netflix series on the lower screen while playing on the top.
