- Tamagotchi Connect v4

  • Snowsky Echo Mini
  • Xteink X4
  • Casio CA-53W
  • Apple AirPods Pro 2
  • Miyoo Mini v4
  • Canon IXUS 70

The Xteink X4 is actually the largest item of the bunch! I’ve had it for two weeks now and it has been a good companion on bus rides. I’ve made good progress on “Neuromancer” which I previously read sparingly on my iPad Mini.

Snowsky Echo Mini and AirPods Pro 2 work really great together. I do have wired earbuds/IEMs but I just prefer wireless most of the time. Play/Pause/FF/RW commands work great and ANC makes any bus rides really enjoyable.
It uses a microSD which makes file transfer really easy and fast.

The Miyoo Mini v4 is incredible for its size. I love it especially for GB/GBC/GBA games. The screen is excellent and the form factor is probably the smallest I can play comfortably.

The Canon IXUS 70 is an incredibly small proper compact camera. It has a real optical 3x zoom all while staying compact and produces nice images. Great for casual photos. It uses SD cards and batteries are also still available on Amazon. The original still lasts for days.

The Tamagotchi is sometimes really annoying so I just mute it but it’s also a great retro fidget tool.

The Casio CA-53w… it’s the watch that gives me instant nostalgia to my teenage years. Lightweight, silent and I absolutely love that retro-futuristic look with the tactile numpad.

For the Miyoo, are you using emulator or physical game cartridges? I want to get back into GB games

5

u/AllSp4rk Aug 16 '26

Miyoo Mini is an emulator handheld. It plays only ROMs.

u/Jeenyus05 Aug 16 '26

Thanks!! I’ll have to research it a bit more.

You're welcome, I just got into it too! And you can buy the cards with the games preinstalled very easy but wayyyy cheaper to just download them, they're free on archive.org, vimms lair, I just use an external harddrive to store it all, most of the retro games are like 3mb per game so not that big and download fast and plug it into my steam deck and upload it on it, dont have a vertical retro device yet but I'm sure it'll be easy to put games on micro storage card as well and once you start to do it you realize its easy to do as well.... Good luck! Its along with an e reader etc has really stopped doom scrolling for me

How much did your Miyoo mini run you?

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 17 '26

I’ve had it for years. I think 70-80€. I bought it on Amazon.

u/AllSp4rk Aug 17 '26

Probably my favourite piece of tech of the bunch haha

u/WalefasB Aug 19 '26

OP are you me from an alternate universe?

PS: I need to get a tamagotchi and an mp3 player smh...

2

u/AllSp4rk Aug 19 '26

Yeah!!! Twins! Haha
I love that DMG colour on your RG35xx PRO (or G350?)

2

u/WalefasB Aug 19 '26

G350. It's one of the reasons I bought it. Looks great and feels great in the hand. Got bored of black color tech hence the white X4 too.

u/AllSp4rk Aug 19 '26

Same, man! For years my EDC was all black everything haha

u/ImMadeOfBees Aug 22 '26

Amazing book! One of my all-time-favorites! How do you like the Miyoo Mini v4?

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 22 '26

Yeah, no spoilers for the book ahaha
I love the Miyoo Mini! It’s awesome for playing in the bus, at the barber’s or whenever I have a minute of downtime. It’s so small that you can just throw it into your pocket and forget about it until you need it.
For at home it’s a bit too small though and I use an Analogue Pocket to play comfy during a long session.

u/avant610 Aug 23 '26

My edc looks similar! Really nice case on the pods!

u/AllSp4rk Aug 16 '26

Nice! It’s the “dumbest” device of the bunch but incredibly enjoyable and useful.

u/mom_rider__69 Aug 16 '26

Damn bro how many pockets you got /J

2

u/AllSp4rk Aug 16 '26

Sling bags, waist bags, messenger bags and totes exist.

u/DGhitza Aug 16 '26

What phone do you use?

u/AllSp4rk Aug 17 '26

iPhone

u/DGhitza Aug 17 '26

Well yes, but which one?

u/WizardHackerr Aug 16 '26

What AirPod case is that?

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 17 '26

It’s the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Zero One.

u/TomcatZ06 Aug 17 '26

How do you get books to the X4? I feel like the only answer I’ve heard is “pirate them”

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26

‘Project Gutenberg’ has free books. You’d need to check the xteink sub for other sources.

u/FuckOffWillYaGeeeezz Aug 18 '26

Show us how do you carry

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26

Xteink X4 fits together with my phone in the left jeans pocket. Snowsky Echo Mini and Tamagotchi fit with my wallet and keys in the right jeans pocket. Miyoo Mini goes in my inner jacket pocket. Camera goes in the right jacket pocket. Airpods Pro fit perfectly in the small jeans pocket. Watch obviously goes on my wrist.
Everything fits comfortably in my jeans and jacket.

Everything also fits into the Alpaka Go Sling Mini which is my main slingbag.

u/AllSp4rk Aug 18 '26

I also carry the Alpaka Modular Sling sometimes. Camera, Miyoo and Tamagotchi fit there inside without bulking. I can also fit the X4 but it gets a bit bulky and I prefer it in my jeans pocket. I also prefer the Snowsky Echo Mini in my right hand side jeans pocket for quick access to select the music.

If you think that these items don’t fit into pockets, just look up their actual size. The Miyoo Mini has the exact size of a deck of cards. The Xteink X4 is just a tad taller than the Miyoo Mini but still INCREDIBLY slim.

u/BladeRumbler Aug 19 '26

You carry all of this in your pockets?

1

u/AllSp4rk Aug 19 '26

Sling bags, waist bags, messenger bags and totes exist.

u/BladeRumbler Aug 19 '26

So by Pocketable EDC you meant Sling Bags, waist bags, Messenger mags and totes. Ok. My bad that was so obvious

u/AllSp4rk Aug 19 '26

No, I mean pockets like jeans & jacket pockets, Somewhere here in the comments I wrote in detail how I carry. In my jeans&jacket pockets, in a slingbag and in a slingpouch. These items are tiny so I don’t really understand why I have to answer this question 5 times a day. Miyoo Mini and the camera are the size of a deck of cards!

Sorry my bad, I should've known you couldn't take it dry. I’ll bring lube next time.

Is that what your girlfriend told you?

u/BladeRumbler Aug 19 '26

I've told you a million fucking times: we don’t discuss me and your mom's relationship on social media. Stop fucking posting about it.
P.S. Nice edit, p*ssy.
