About

I bought every retro game ever. It's a good thing I backed them all up because all the originals were destroyed in a fire. https://linktr.ee/techdweeb

Video Description

The RP5 is exciting. Not because of the device itself (which is pretty great), but it's exciting because of the effect this will have on the retro doodad industry. Gonna SHAKE THINGS UP I tells ya!
