These Handhelds Saved My Love for Gaming

Video Description

In a time where modern gaming feels harder to love, retro handhelds have become the silver lining. They’ve eaten my time, my wallet, and maybe even my sanity, but I don’t regret any of it. These little devices bring back the games I grew up with while mixing in modern tech, and the nostalgia they give me is something I can’t find anywhere else. I write, film, and edit everything myself!
