Anyone else here right into emulation/roms/CFW and retro handhelds? What've you got + what are you playing?

I spent a LOT of time earlier this year learning how to get RetroArch working since I had never bothered with it before (I come from the early age emulators, before the relatively recent trend of running them through a front end). I walked away from it thinking RetroArch might be one of the most infuriating pieces of software I've ever rotten my hands on. Bloated, Buggy, terrible ux design, a lot of seemingly basic functionality not supported whatsoever, I really genuine nelt hated my time troubleshooting it.
Standalone emulators mean you spend less time angrily combing through forums and watching YouTube support vids at 2x speed; and more time playing your roms.
This is besides the notoriously cruel and intolerant behavior of the RetroArch dev team. They're seriously bad people.
Don't use RetroArch kids, make everyone's lives just a fraction more pleasant. :)
