And the nice thing is it has a little mini HDMI port on top. Plug that into your TV, pair a Bluetooth controller. I mean, that's nice. And now it's a retro console hooked to your TV. Do you have a Steam Deck? I do have a Steam Deck, and I love it. I use it all the time. You know you play all these same things on the Steam Deck. Well, no.
