    Another handheld I most likely won't buy? Sure, I'll watch the whole thing.

    'Toby is not going to fill that empty void in his heart...' 😂

    When Russ asks me to get a snack and a drink I always say "yeah man, I wanna do it"
  • @teewom
    Sounds like a good time to make that update video on the TrimUI Smart Pro!
  • @MrBoop4345
    I finally bit the bullet and bought a Anbernic RG35XX H after a year of watching your videos and making a decision. Just received it today. Your setup guide was a fantastic help.
  • @pizza-doggy
    "On the younger side... childhood systems being the N64" gave me a chuckle.
  • @nickthemage2052
    The use case way of looking at this device is super helpful and well done
  • @smallmistake
    The thumbnail currently says 400X not 40XX just so you know Russ
  • @e.walker
    I enjoy the personalities, adds more context to the review, handheld, and the type of person who might want to buy it. Wonderful and entertaining job Russ!

    I really appreciate those character cards. Telling a story makes it more thrilling to watch your video. Thanks
  • @starflek
    I just bought a Trimui Smart Pro for GBA and Snes and when I saw the RG40XX H I was "aaaaw noooooo" ... and then I saw your video and I am happy again. Very instructive, thank you !

    Always happy to see your Vids pop-up. If not, just a reason to give me to Watch the intro. But definitely always love these type of scenario videos. Peace!
