For all that’s Wolpy and everything under the sun, can someone, for God’s sake, explain to me why the hell I’m seeing people defend the Ouya when the retro and Android handheld market is at an all-time high, even with the RAM crisis? Yes, that piece of crap was a pioneer, boo-hoo, great shit. Everything else about it sucked. You can have just as much fun modding one of the Raspberry devices.

How the hell did we get to the point where every single fucking failure in the gaming industry gets turned into a “misunderstood masterpiece that was hammered by evil grifters, youtubers and journalists”?

Aeontropy3d agoTwo Brazilians in a São Paulo boteco, tables shaking, beers spilling, everyone else pretending not to watch the show.
Guy 1 jumps up, pointing dramatically: "Mano, the Ouya was PIONEER! Open Android on TV, Kickstarter legend, root it in five minutes and boom—emulation paradise! It birthed the whole retro handheld revolution! Without Ouya, no Anbernic, no Retroid, no nothing! RESPEITA O LEGADO, CARA!"
Guy 2 slaps the table so hard his caipirinha flies: "LEGADO? That plastic cube was a $100 paperweight with joysticks made of regret! Games? What games? The store was emptier than a politician's promises! Controller drift worse than a drunk motoqueiro in rain! Now we got Raspberry Pi handhelds running PS2 like butter for R$300—mod one and laugh at Ouya's corpse! Pioneer my sweaty balls!"
They’re nose-to-nose, veins popping, when a random third Brazilian at the bar—half-drunk, half-genius—leans over with the saddest sigh in South America:
"Calma, seus malucos… vocês tão quase se matando por um console que flopou mais feio que o Brasil na Copa de 2014. Enquanto isso, o mundo tá emulando tudo no celular e no Pi 5. Por que não compram mais uma rodada, tocam um pagode e deixam a Ouya apodrecer no limbo onde ela pertence? Vai, toma aqui uma foto dela pra lembrar do trauma."
He pulls out his phone, shows a dusty Ouya pic, and the whole bar loses it laughing.
One guy mutters: "Tá bom… mas o Ouya ainda era melhor que o Stadia."
The other: "Cala a boca antes que eu te quebre com o controle analógico quebrado!"
