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

I didn’t want to like this controller. I have my favorites already. But the 8BitDo Pro 3 showed up, wormed its way into my life, and now it won’t leave. Like a parasite. In a good way!
