    I've said it before and I'll say it again I'm really loving this new series, Adin! They're fun and conversational but really informative and inspiring at the same time. I also really appreciate the kind of meta angling of your questions-- you're more interested in talking about the history, trends, and behind-the-scenes content creation processes of the retro gaming space rather than talking about the specs of the latest retro device that's coming out for example.

    Russ is the whole reason I got into the Retro Gaming “scene” if you want to call it that. I had very little tech experience and his starter guides have opened me up to a whole new world.

    This is a great community. You guys all help each other out by passing devices around for review and appearing on each other's channels. Most of the people in this hobby are very willing to help you out. It's a hobby and it's supposed to be fun. I've been playing with MAME off and on for 20 years or so but I'm new to handhelds and emulating other systems. Both of your channels have been a huge help.

    Would be interesting do one with perhaps ETA Prime, Taki Udon.. Although I doubt they would only cause of face reveal, although I guess just voice is fine too.

    Just a small feedback: the framing on your view is perfect, bit it seems that the focus of the field of view was a little bit ahead of your face, like your hands on your desk are perfectly crisp but your head was most of the time slightly blurry. And God, I know your kink for abrupt endings but it’s always a bit harsh like "wait, no goodbye?!" 😄

    I am biased, but I'd say windows is the past.
    - Valve's push for Linux is here to stay. It's not something they are doing out of the kindness of their heart. Valve has only one problem and it's that its current PC market dominance makes them dependent on a single company that makes the OS where those games run. It's in Valve's best interest to remove windows from the equation. This doesn't mean they'll succeed, but I feel confident in betting that they will try.
    - Windows for ARM has a very big issue, compatibility is windows' biggest strength, which in this case is a double-edged sword. Windows for ARM doesn't accrue numbers because when people try it, they find it doesn't have the compatibility they expect from the windows brand.
    - We'll start seeing push from Apple trying their own at making an equivalent of Proton for OS/X. Due to the way the WINE codebase works, this push will also help Valve's own attempts.

The point of my original comment was that this handheld scene has existed pretty much since we invented pockets so three years of utterly fantastic content from a dedicated handheld enthusiast does not rise to the level of pioneer in terms of retro gaming OTHER than to inspire other content creators to up their game or to start a channel of their own which is win win for absolutely everyone in this community.
