You two are pretty much my fav gaming TH-camrs these days.
Aw shucks! :-)
Hey Adin and Dweeb. Really really appreciate the discussion of addiction and ADHD in this vid guys. Currently in the throes of kicking my vodka habit and it’s been immensely helpful to hear abt Dweeb’s experiences. Its hard to acknowledge it to people I know so I know it takes balls to drop so casually in a public forum
Thank you for sharing. Yes I think it really helps hearing that someone else has walking on your shoes.
TechDweeb is truly the storyteller of our generation
wow. was totally caught off guard by the talk about ADHD and addiction. THANK YOU! im almost 1 year off a 20 year opiate addiction AND my substance abuse counselor just recommended i get screened for ADHD after picking up on a few traits. it really makes me feel better hearing you two talk about it. thank you!
Hey man. Thanks for sharing. It definitely helps knowing you’re not alone.
Hearing other people talk about their experiences is what encouraged me to open up about this sort of thing. It makes it easier to self reflect knowing that others have gone through what you're going through. Makes it feel less like something is 'wrong' with you, ya know?
@@TechDweeb 100% its been a huge relief making these connections recently
@@TechDweebyou are an inspiration dude. I appreciate your honesty and courage so much. Diagnosed with ADHD officially at age 50 helped me understand so many of the pieces of my life. Like you stated, it is an super power if harnessed appropriately. Love both you guys and your content and channels. Much success to you both!
You guys would make a pretty good podcast together. You have pretty good chemistry
I would absolutely love a podcast with you two. I love how you keep it real with opinions and the whole “character” with techdweeb is just too perfect.
Tech dweeb and Adin waiting for me in the morning. Great way to start off work day with some chill listening.
Love what you do - great reviews and interviews!
You are really helping to create a heartwarming community spirit around this hobby, in a way that I haven’t seen much in other fields - hats off to you for bringing us all together! 😁
Thank you. Yes I am very proud that we have cultivated this together.
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was very young and was given Ritalin and my mom took me right off it Said it was making me hallucinate
Ya Ritalin isn’t for everyone!
I’ve got it too, and I’m also unmedicated - no Ritalin for me either!
I'm glad my mom never got me on Ritalin or even Aderal. She took away sugar from my diet and my hyperactivity went away. I only dealt with difficulty focusing or paying attention after that. And as an adult you learn how to force yourself to focus lol
They switched my Grandma from Prozac to Ritalin and she also hallucinated. It was scary.
@@netnomad47 Yep, it's difficult even now as an adult, the same challenges are there, but they present themselves slightly differently.
Vernors originated in Detroit MI. Close to Southern Ontario. I grew up in metro Detroit and spent my summers in Ontario. A&W originated in California. Growing up in the 90s, I remember it being bigger in Michigan and Canada compared to other places. Root beer floats was a common celebration after a sporting event.
Vernors>A&W>Canadian Dry>A&W Cream soda >… Barq’s
I have family in Windsor Ontario. They are all about the Vernors. For me it's just a little too... Spicey? for lack of a better word.
@@TechDweeb yeah it’s hard to find the words to describe the taste, spicy is kinda close. I would describe the carbonation as having bite, like the little bubbles are chaos gremlins nibbling your tongue.
I want to play DnD with a TechDweeb and an Adin, too.
Next episode locked in. LIVE!!
YES!!!
Dear Adin. What a great chat. Greetings to you and TechDweeb
Hey thank you
Techdweeb is russ confirmed thats why he also tells us to grab a snack and drink
Who's Russ ?
RetroGameCorps
Beautiful discussion. I admire both of you for your honesty. Refreshing.
Fascinating interview. And relatable, in some ways. I really need to get back to my community and catch up, maybe set up a discord or something to keep me more engaged and motivated, instead of just letting tasks pile up. It's hard to get much done with this spine injury, but still, I could be doing a lot more.
TechDweeb, I hope Russ appreciates how good you are for his notoriety and success!
Just gotta say thank you guys for being you. I’m an ADHD, recovering addict guy in my 40’s as well so this one hit home. My contracting business both salves and triggers my anxiety, so Retro Gaming is one of my healthier coping mechanisms. In your unique ways you both make me feel more like that is O.K, and that I’m O.K. Thanks for that.
I’m really glad this meant something to you. I think for a lot of addictive-type personalities thinking of things as right or wrong is unhelpful. But rather constructive and destructive behaviour.
Great interrview Adin! You guys are so fun to listen to. Keep up the great work man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve just got into emulation handhelds and found Tech Dweeb as I was researching. He’s now my man crush. I’m almost certain that it was him dancing about in either one of his or Retro Corps videos.
This was great. I got to learn a little bit about TechDweeb. This is fun.
Is there a part 1? Seems like we just jumped in.
The intro was a “bit”. But yes I do have another interview with him.
Thank you both @Techdweeb and @AdinWalls I really appreciate this episode. I have stayed away from many games because they will consume me. I feel like you guys, where this hobby is an Outlet. Addiction and mental stuff is hard and a daily battle. It’s not something you complete in a day. Everyday it’s a new battle. Again thanks my friends keep up the amazing work.
Hey man. Thank you. I see this episode really affected you. Take it easy.
@@adinwalls all is well my friend. I have an amazing support system. I am very much a fighter and as I like to say “I’m just built different.” Many of my struggles have been in the back seat for a good amount of time. God has taken the drivers seat in my life and for that I am grateful. 🫡
Well said buddy. Thanks for being part of the community and adding your voice!
You guys should do like a weekly podcast or something. You two are my favorite on youtube too just listen to
Thanks for that!
I asked @adinwalls for this but he told me he's worried it would become TOO popular and he'd have fans breaking down his door even more than usual. Fair enough.
@@TechDweeb understandable 🤓
Another great episode with TechDweeb! Loved the little drawing corner.
Yes it was great!
i cant believe it my two favorite guys in the retro scene together
The universe shall implode in 3,2,1…
Watching Adin is so relaxing, love his vids. Adin, TD and Russ are my go tos for all things retro gaming 👌👌
Yesssss! Thank you
Hi TD and Adin 🙂 Early in life gambling seemed like it was waaay too fun. Fortunately it was back before I had any money and we were just playing for fun. So I've been a hard-line no gambling person since I was a teen. But I also had to make a rule for myself that I couldn't watch Monty Python unless someone else suggested it, so I haven't seen them more than a few times since I was 15. I was quoting them way too much, and I was on the edge of losing friends. For both, I'm happy for other folks to have a good time, I just know I have to be careful with myself. I am lucky though that substance abuse hasn't been a challenge for me.
So great that you managed to isolate those issues.
Damn i thought he was modulating the voice. So thats his real voice ?
There’s definitely no modulation.
PsychicPebbles
Great episode Adin, this was a fun listen!
Thanks Russ, yes I feel this way about every epsiode. Each experience is so dear to me.
Are Adin and Tech Dweeb the same person? Just the animated Dweeb face and Adin's face look similar
We are the same person
@@adinwalls I'm Adin's alter ego. I'm the cool guy he wishes he was.
Love the game Lemmings!! 🤓🤓
Right?!
@@adinwallsGood memories playing Lemmings with my dad back in the day... At the time I think the game was around $30 or $40. My mom found it on sale for $14.99 and I was so excited when she brought it home. What is your favorite system to play it on? I enjoy the Super Nintendo version for my RGB30. Although the PSP version is crisper in graphics.
The thing with Switch emulation is. Back when my Retroid Pocket Flip actually worked, I was excited to play Celeste (The real version). But then I realised I would not be able to transfer my Switch's save to it, and then, what is even the point... The same goes for most switch games. Sure you could emulate them, but I think losing the ability to sync saves is too much of a big deal, and that's only single player games. With multiplayer games, it would be pointless to emulate them. Imagine trying to emulate Mario Maker 2... One day, Mario Maker 2 will lose its servers, and somone is going to make third party servers for it that everyone will be using THEN emulating Mario Maker 2 would be really excellent. But that's not happening soon.
I have good news also. Nowadays it's pretty much confirmed that the Switch 2 will continue supporting at least Switch cartridges. I'm going to guess that if they will go through that sort of problem, there will be Switch 2 cartridges, but even if there are still Switch cartridges, it means the dream isn't over yet.
I absolutely adored this. You’re a great interviewer and TechDweeb is one of my favorite people on TH-cam. A match made in Heaven. Also shoutout to my ADD-riddled brethren 🤝
Hehe. Yes we seem to be gathering the ADHDers together here
Tech Dweeb seems like such a great guy.
He is.
You're both so relatable
😊
I still don't believe that's his real voice
It is
Dweeb is so creative and fun that i want more reviews and a kitchen channel, the hands and the cat reminds me to Doctor Claw from inspector gadget and I love it!!!
Hehe. Yes he could do anything with those hands! Wait…
Next time @JordiLatorreAstort! NEXT TIIIIMMMMMEEEEE!!!!
The incredible talking hands!
Indeed
Watching TechDweeb draw reminded me of watching Pappy Land as a kid
JUST a board game, Adin? XDDD
lol. My ignorance is shameful
Why does he only show co his 🙌?
@TechDweeb, have you played the GoT card game? I really loved it.
I haven't, but I know I'd love it because I'm both a TCG nerd and a GOT nerd. However it's out of print, and buying all the expansions is expensive. And it's not like I can't buy ALL the expansions, right?
@@TechDweeb you’d love it. I think we bought like three base games so we could have all the cards to make multiple decks. It’s a perfect information, game, too, so the strategy is really intense. Fun, though.
Wait is Techdweeb a character?
I’ve been really confused with techdweeb, I can’t work out if it’s a charecter or it’s really a 40 year old dude who doesn’t have a job and lives with his Mum 🤷🏻♂️
Yes
Does root beer have caffeine?
I don’t think so 😂
@@adinwallsBarq’s root beer does
There is a good chance that Einstein had ADHD, that means I’m basically Einstein
I like the way ya think!
We actually talk about this
@@adinwalls woah! I think that means I’m also Psychic
@@michaelbenny659 apparently psychic powers go hand in hand with ADHD 😝
Hey guys, please click "Notify Me" to be reminded to join us later.
Please don't premiere stuff like this its really frustrating because i want to watch it now
Haha me tooooo!
lol. It’s all about the suspense.
I went off TechDweeb after he made a joke about kids with cancer.
Pretty sure that was the vid where he was doing work for a charity for children with Cancer. I can assure you he only has good intentions.
❄
@@FabuBrik Oh hi, Pilot. Nah, not a ❄️. Just not my humour. I think the joke was about the different places you could play some crappy Chinese handheld and one of his examples was a kids cancer ward, then he flashed up an image of a little girl crying. I was like, wow... That really made me feel like 💩. I don't think it helped that it wasn't actually funny.
@@danc3933 being so sensitive will eliminate many good people from your life. Show some grace.
@@bn7451 How am I not showing grace?
🤔tech dweed is adin walls!! Adin basically just interview his own hands/alter ego🥸🧐🤓
lol that’s a new one
@@adinwalls 🤣i am on to you🫵🧐! But really, thank you for keeping me entertained I love your channel! Keep it going🤙💪!
