👉 Zu read the newspaper last week and was dismayed to see that the prices of retro handhelds might be going up. Then he had a cup of coffee and the news changed. Then he got done in the bathroom and the news changed again. Needless to say, the potential impact of tariffs on the retro handhelds market is a very fluid situation!

In light of a potential end to the eWaste gravy train, Zu decided to tackle the bigger underlying problem with an endless stream of new handhelds - people don't actually play games on these things before buying something new.

Are you a hoarder? A collector? Someone who is still rocking a V90 from 3 years ago? Regardless of where you fall on this (and other) spectrums, sit down and enjoy a classic Zu rant/op-ed!
