Some of the ports we're seeing in the retro handheld community lately have been great, and I love seeing developers push these little devices beyond what they were ever intended to do. But I've definitely noticed what feels like a growing amount of 'port-slop', with new projects appearing seemingly every few hours, many of them feeling more like quick experiments than anything particularly worthwhile.

I'm not against the experimentation at all, but I do wonder if we're reaching a point where quantity is starting to overshadow quality. Anyway, I put together a short opinion piece about it, just my own thoughts on something I've been noticing lately, especially here with my favorite old system: the PSP.

Thabk you Jaygray!

That's really kind of you, to not only read my regular articles but my (newish) NeoCities experiment. That means a lot!

This whole new rapidly changing world is a lot. A lot to see happen so quickly. I feel for some of the talented dev teams I know, because things are changing so darned quickly now :(
