Summary

After Dark: Stubbs, Rob and Michael Benny chat about the new Retroid Pocket Nova and test their Claw 8 EX AI+ units, sent for review from MSI. Performance, ergonomics, sound, display, high-end emulation and more are tested. This thing is beastly, but the price point is a tough ask at $1799.
