Summary

Joey joins Stubbs and Rob to chat about his return from YouTube jail, AYN's switch from 8 Elite to Qualcomm Dragonwing, along with the industry-wide RAM crisis and how it’s impacting the prices and availability of handhelds like the Legion Go 2, OneXplayer Apex, and Retroid Pocket Classic. We also clear the air on prior beefs to focus on moving the community forward, discuss the realities of content creation, life behind the scenes, and what the future holds for retro handhelds.
