Only on extremely rare occasions do I tend to repost posts from other platforms, but there are exceptions and this is certainly one of them as I feel this message is worthy to be spread as far and wide as possible.

I was going to post link to the full article on this piece of garbage by a fascist backed company on the Retro Dodo website, but there seem to be referral links to buy this thing and profit from it in some way, so yeah... Won't be linking to that site anytime soon.

instead, here is Time Extensions take on this mess instead:

"I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends."

He is reposting a post by Retro Dodo, who posted an article on the ModRetro handheld, written by Brandon Saltalamacchia.

His post states "This is unlike anything we've seen before in all our years of handheld reviewing!"

The article has as its title: "ModRetro Reveals Limited Edition Handheld Made From Attack Drone Metal"
