Was annoyed, then confused, then I see what you mean. Yeah, he's got no intention of actually bringing dignity back to the workplace, but some people would be willing to work if jobs were treated in a dignified way. As it is, tipping alone has ruined any possibility that the US would ever let the people "take away" the ability of rich people to have servants.

Um, I assume you typo'd? Does this fix it?
Yes. Their cult’s obsession of demonizing pleasure in general is disgusting. It’s probably why they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are
The Go S is basically the OneXPlayer F1 (a.k.a the "OneXFly"). I've also noticed that sales of the F1 series had occured frequently and they no longer seem to promote it now that the F1 Pro is out for a while. I can only guess the two companies are having a de facto handoff, trading the market share by swapping the roles of their primary devices.
Steam Deck. Tell his parents how to use the Family mode recently added to Steam accounts (there should be instructions for setting up an account for the parent and then creating the child account, allowing complete authority over various aspects like requiring the parents to manually approve all purchases), and that they can restrict the Desktop Mode behind a PIN so he can't screw it up. It's over your budget but it plays non-retro games and is the cheapest reputable handheld by far AND the most reputable handheld period.
Sadly, the Switch 2 is dangerously ephemeral: They've literally swapped the game itself for the license to play a game, your cartridge only contains the license and the data leaves when the console is no longer supported.
I wouldn't bother with anything else, if you spend only $100 you aren't going to get anything but a cheap plastic waste of money, and most other gamerdecks run Windows 11 so that's not a reasonable option.
EDIT: If you buy used, this might not apply, as actionjbone stated.
That's not what I meant. A developer version makes sense, but it's not a special fun secret thing. There are what are known as developer kits or just "DevKits" for video game platforms like the Switch 2 or all the proceeding consoles since the 1980s. A developer version, while not the most benevolent approach, is plausible but not special.
That's the one!
At this point, micro transactions for cosmetics are like candy. Kids will resent you and the values you try to impose if it makes them less able to participate in group activities. Restricting it to an allowance makes sense, disallowing it does not. I say this as someone who was banned from playing any video games as a kid for bullshit reasons.
There's a reason that, when people realized smoking was toxic, they petitioned governments to ban them in increasing amounts and thus eventually de-popularize tobacco, rather than try to get kids to not smoke. If all your friends are allowed to, fuck whatever the reason is that you can't.
That and the entire gamerdeck form factor that arrived along with it. I use a boutique Chinese deck (OneXPlayer, but I hear others are good too), and there's numerous Western options like the Ally, the Legion Go, and the Claw.
One thing that made me choose a Chinese device of all things was that the Legion Go S didn't exist at the time. Ergonomics are important for something like these and everything else was painful to use for extended periods. Still using the OXP device as my daily driver as I don't yet see reason to upgrade.
Unfortunately, that's now the end goal of officially-supported console emulation: "We will only rent you old games, never sell indefinite licenses."
Yeah, I've heard that before. "Oh, there's a secret Mewthree that is only in the Japanese version. My uncledad works for Nintendo." "There's a secret island in World of Warcraft that the mods meet in to chat in private that if you manage to get there, you get admin powers from a developer. They ban- I mean, gave them to a friend of a guildmate." "If you buy crypto, someday you'll be video game rich and real rich, but the government don't want you to know that."
Fair, I wasn't aware of stability issues.
Where's the rest of the video? He actually explained the legal basis (or rather, lack thereof) behind this. Services are not allowed to be certain things which "games as a service" are, thus proving that games are goods and "games as a service" is theft.
