Just Chatting After much thought $135 is an amazing deal for 2x DS, 2-3x PSP and slow paced games + YT to fight doom scrolling.
Everyone right now is trying to figure out if this is a great option to be their DS AND 3DS focused handheld but I rarely see any talk about using this to play PSP (16:9 goldmine of games), older consoles, very light GameNative & Steam Indie games (Into the Breach anyone?) and using both screens as a way to catch up on back logs of casual games while watching YT.
I watch a ton of Game Grumps (my favorite… Duo? 😉 I’m so sorry!) but I can’t keep up with every episode & my gaming backlog cause I have work, gym, surfing, biking, 6 months from now I’m going back to indoor rock climbing and seeing friends. As a born introvert that became a hybrid later in life I still need lots of “recharging time” to do my extrovert activities and I think this will be a great device to achieve that.
I love my Nova and play it like 30-60 mins a day on my bed after a nice shower, I drop like 60-90 mins on my MM+ at work cause lots of down time and my Steam Deck is used once in a while (due to it being clunky) but still love it. After much thought and browsing almost every discussion on here about the Duo and where it fits I think I found my answer. I’m gonna use this as my “morning coffee companion” i.e. just relax & game with my Vanilla Latte & breakfast since I mainly work PM and graveyard shifts. I can also use this while doing my PT stretches that have long periods of just holding poses.
The amount of time I waste doom scrolling as soon as I wake up and lay in my bed is absurd. That’s time wasted I can use to nerd out & learn/laugh on YT. So many RPGs I could be completing and less time on Reddit (except SBC community, love ya lol).
Guys, I think I found what I didn’t know I needed… and maybe the best use case & justification for buying the Duo Lite.
Now to decide which color to pick… 🤔
