Honestly, I love this guy, he's chill, he's practical and he's interesting. I have no interest in traveling or food (extreme dietary restrictions, makes it not fun or enjoyable), but because it's Russ, it's still a really interesting video. Great stuff, Russ, I'm assuming you won't see this, but just in case, thanks for sharing your handheld experiences while traveling even though... You're supposed to be relaxing 😂
Amazing video as usual Russ. I happened to be Indonesian currently living in Los Angeles. The revelation that you speak my native language is a welcome surprise. My wife who is American thinks that i was drawn to your channel because you exude Indonesian vibe. Keep up the good work, im waiting for ayn odin 2 review 😊
I just got back home from my vacation to Japan, and I brought my RG353V with me. I mainly used it when I was on the long flight between the West Coast and Japan and on the bullet train from Tokyo & Kyoto. Definitely the perfect way to pass the time to have a retro handheld and play a game like Golden Sun!
Greetings from Singapore. Hope you had a great trip. We would always welcome you and your family for future vacations. Weather is indeed hotter than when you last visited the country. We're having a bit of a hot spell and don't expect temps to go down any more.
Military man, parents in Washington, has somehow made emulator handhelds crazy interesting and big enough to be a TH-cam channel... You sir, are a very interesting character. 👍
This video is actually very cool. Very refreshing really, I mean, there's a limit to how many device reviews we want to watch at a given time so nice seeing a new style!
First, I’d like to say, that was an outstanding video. Second, I am a military man myself Marine Corps thanks for all the boat rides. Third thing, please make a video about the Powkiddy device and then the mini PC. Thanks again for all the great content that you put out for us.
Dude I’m always blown away when you remind us that you retired from the Navy. I’ve been in the Navy for 11 years now and I legit thought you were my age.
I can't believe that my favorite retro gaming channel knows Indonesian. Terima kasih Russ untuk semua kerja kerasmu. You really deserved that vacation. ❤
Great video! I brought my Steam Deck on vacation to Thailand and Cambodia last year. Didn't play it too much, but it was a lifesaver on the flights and to wind down after long days of hiking through the jungle and temples!
Thanks for this timely video. My family and I are flying to Puerto Rico in two weeks and I've been pondering which handhelds to take. I like the idea of placing all the cables in a travel bag and I loved the look of the magnetic clasp Steam bag. Happy future travels to you!
I think we really need offline retro achievements even if I can't qualify for leader boards or anything I just want an offline option for retroachievements
Do you mind explaining to me, what Retro achievements are? I am kinda new around the retro scene. Is it just challenges in the old games or are new achievements made to reward you for playing the old games on the emulators?
Aw man you were in Singapore? Would've loved to meet you! Hope you had a great time here! Annnnnddd yea... it being hot and humid here is an understatement. I see you visited the Gardens by the Bay and well... how was the Durian for you? I personally don't like it as a local but to each their own :)
I knew nothing about retro handhelds before chancing upon this channel, and then I got hooked! 😅 Loved the travel video as well! Now, i vote for the Powkiddy first, then the Mini PC and the Genesis game
Great channel, and happy 3rd birthday.... 22 years in the military.... Have you got a portrait stored in your attic. Your channel made me finally take the plunge to get a handheld and start (very slowly) learning about all the things you cover. Top work man and amazing how big you have grown your channel in a few short years
No mister, you won\t get away that easily! I was expecting from you to speak Indonesian in the video, I'm a languages learner myself so I love when that happens!
Fun Fact: Jakarta won't be the Indonesian Capital for much longer. Since the City is so heavy, it, and the whole island of Java altogether, is slowly sinking. Obviously with rising sea levels that's really not good. Now Indonesia is building the City of "Nusantara" in the jungle of Borneo, which will become the new Capital.
I bring RP3+ wherever I go. It has 10,000+ games and I like to use Daijisho to randomly pick games for me to play. I've found so many retro hidden gems this way.
Great vid. I’ve been having an awesome time finding these modern games developed for retro consoles. Astebros is one that I’m planning to buy. So my vote is for Astebros. It would be neat if you and perhaps other retro gaming channels reviewed more of these games.
Loved seeing your vacation footage. Kinda crazy, but id love seeing you travel more of Indonesia and eating more of their food and seeing more of the country, from someone who doesn't want to see the 'touristy' areas.
Great video. So glad you had a chance to get away on a holiday, and I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on the Onexfly. Considering getting a high spec one to be my main desktop PC.
Really nice photos of places in Thailand. You’ve given me a lot of ideas about traveling with my RG405m. That does suck I can’t get my achievements, though
I don't know you can speak bahasa. I like you content, it's fun seeing new handheld retro and pc gaming device. I hope you can make more video. I'm Indonesian by the way
Amazing video! You have visited really great places 🥰 Basically in that backpack there were only video games stuff lol I think that the Pow kiddy, the mini pc and the video game are the most interesring ones!
Would love to see the Powkiddy review, love to see how it stacks up to x55. Lots of interesting stuff happening in that $80-$120ish price range right now between those and the Retroid Pocket 2S.
As a suggestion, I think it would be cool if you covered the new Onion OS update that allows for Pokemon trading and battling through local connection.
I would love to see a review of the Powkiddy RGB10MAX3. I think Powkiddy hit a home run with the X55, but I find it odd with the RGB10MAX3 that there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Didn't know you can speak Indonesian. I know there are lots of foreigners that can speak Indonesian, especially those from Australia, but it always surprised me when i hear them in person.
Hi, Russ! Hope you’re doing well. Thanks for all the content! Love the channel. Quick question on the Waterfield case. Was there enough room in the case to accommodate with the Kill Switch grip with the cover?
I think I saw you at Haneda Airport from a distance? Where you there about 13 days ago? I was playing on my Steam Deck, maybe my tired brain decieved me.
The weight of the rp3+ vs the rg405m is a 20 gram difference. You can definitely feel that in the hand but I'm sceptical it would make much difference to the feel of your backpack. The other reasons you gave made total sense though and makes me want to play Celeste again.
That cable management bag is neat. I wonder, have you shown your house storage for your handhelds? For me thats always a problem, specially finding the proprietary cables for nintendo/sony handhelds, or third party devices that have no official cover, etc…
gw gak heran dia bisa bahasa indonesia, soalnya dulu om russ ini pernah podcast sama wulffden, ditanya kerjaan mu apa sebelum jadi youtuber? dijawab lah gw dulu kerja di militer sebagai translator beberapa bahasa, salah satu nya bahasa indo
One topic I'm surprised not mentioned in this video is the risk of bringing one of these devices through customs in various countries. I'd be worried about customs sticking their nose in, taking a good look and then maybe going to "pound me in the ass" prison in Indonesia for transporting all this pirated software across international borders. I feel like this is a valid concern...
Hey Russ, please consider showing more of this awesome trip! I love your comments on handheld, maybe you could do a footage montage from some of the places you've been with voiceover? Love from Brazil.
Loved the vacation footage and the fact you got to surprise some people by busting out the language. Would like to see more on that roguelike game next!
Enjoying these videos more and more as time goes on. Came for the RG35xx review / guides. Stayed for your high production value and interesting tidbits you include in all the videos, even if I'm not in the market for another handheld / item yet :)
Since you know Bahasa Indonesia 1:33 aku sangat suka menonton videomu Russ!. Aku rasa tidak ada content creator retro handheld lain yang bisa membuat video lebih detail dari kamu. Keep the good work!

My wife is Indonesia and we go to Indonesia every few years. Glad you got to visit that beautiful country.

He also writes cook books!
The best retro videos with great ideas
@@sunnygalli
My favourite Chinese food is bat.
@sunnygalli I must have missed that video. Forgot the cat named Chicken too. 🤣
And also lives in Hawaii
This video is actually very cool.
Very refreshing really, I mean, there's a limit to how many device reviews we want to watch at a given time so nice seeing a new style!
Such a beautiful country.
You are truly blessed !
✨⭐🙏⭐✨
P.s.
Thank you for your service.
Loved the structure of this video and thanks for sharing so much of the personal side!
Man I swear Russ can talk about anything and make it interesting to listen to.

Really liked this video despite the non-standard format. It inspired me to revisit my travel setups, especially for cables/devices.
Hope your vacation was good Russ!! Glad you're back, can't wait to see all the stuff you've got coming up.
I think we really need offline retro achievements even if I can't qualify for leader boards or anything I just want an offline option for retroachievements
It shouldn't be that hard. I just wonder how large the database for a couple of thousand roms would be.
100% agree, even if they're only stored locally, it just feels nice
Do you mind explaining to me, what Retro achievements are? I am kinda new around the retro scene. Is it just challenges in the old games or are new achievements made to reward you for playing the old games on the emulators?
@@Spitfire_1940I haven't set it up myself personally but I imagine it's similar to trophies/achievements on PS/Xbox respectively
And have it sync up with online when you get back on data
This was a different type of video than you normally do and I really enjoyed it.
Aw man you were in Singapore? Would've loved to meet you! Hope you had a great time here!
Annnnnddd yea... it being hot and humid here is an understatement.
I see you visited the Gardens by the Bay and well... how was the Durian for you? I personally don't like it as a local but to each their own :)
Cool vid man thank you for your service 🫡and looking forward to the reviews on the new arrivals
I knew nothing about retro handhelds before chancing upon this channel, and then I got hooked! 😅 Loved the travel video as well! Now, i vote for the Powkiddy first, then the Mini PC and the Genesis game
I really want to travel and more so MOVE to singapore, so when I saw this video I was stoked. Really great vid
The new PowKiddy!
Awesome video, great idea.

Good to have you back. Interesting line up. No win 4 pro i see? Doesnt really matter already bought one.
In my travels to Thailand, you are more gutsy than me in trying Durian fruit. That smell just was too much for me.
Great video. So glad you had a chance to get away on a holiday, and I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on the Onexfly. Considering getting a high spec one to be my main desktop PC.
Great video, Russ. Two of my favourite hobbies merged into one video. Eating and gaming 😂😉
Greetings from Indonesia Russ.. great video as always..
Terima kasih datang ke Indonesia, seharusnya ada fans gathering ❤❤
Really nice photos of places in Thailand. You’ve given me a lot of ideas about traveling with my RG405m. That does suck I can’t get my achievements, though
I don't know you can speak bahasa. I like you content, it's fun seeing new handheld retro and pc gaming device. I hope you can make more video. I'm Indonesian by the way
Wow you go to Yogjakarta ❤ such a lovely place
Amazing video!
You have visited really great places 🥰
Basically in that backpack there were only video games stuff lol
I think that the Pow kiddy, the mini pc and the video game are the most interesring ones!
Welcome to Singapore!
yeah i think doing the powkiddy after the onexplayer will be cool!
Would love to see the Powkiddy review, love to see how it stacks up to x55. Lots of interesting stuff happening in that $80-$120ish price range right now between those and the Retroid Pocket 2S.

A fellow DLI'er, I'm guessing? Always nice to find others in the wild. :)
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬
Hi, Russ! Hope you’re doing well. Thanks for all the content! Love the channel. Quick question on the Waterfield case. Was there enough room in the case to accommodate with the Kill Switch grip with the cover?
Retired from the military after 22 years! Didn’t even know you were old enough!
The Powkiddy RGB10Max3 Pro would be very interesting as well as the Mini PC with N100. Please review the Powkiddy device❤
The powkiddy & the rogue like game sound good to me.
Love to see the rgb10 max 3 pro get reviewed. I’ve been on the fence about getting it.
What a sweet video. Full time travel vlogging when?
Excellent video.
Great video, why not take the retroid pocket flip ? Plastic as well and the clamp shell protects the screen
Please let me know where you got those wonderful couch pillows
I think I saw you at Haneda Airport from a distance? Where you there about 13 days ago?
I was playing on my Steam Deck, maybe my tired brain decieved me.
22 years? Man you look good for your age!
wow, didn't know you visited Indonesia. we could arrange some thisgs if I know beforehand,😂

Waiting on the Rgbmax3 pro review
Definitely Ayaneo Air 1S please
That cable management bag is neat. I wonder, have you shown your house storage for your handhelds? For me thats always a problem, specially finding the proprietary cables for nintendo/sony handhelds, or third party devices that have no official cover, etc…
Hi, Russ! Greetings from Indonesia :)
Ayoo a fellow translator and handheld enthusiast he just like me fr
The Steam version includes the Mega Drive rom?? I totally have to check it, I enjoy this kind of stuff

Should have come here to korea
I live in Singapore.
hello from Indonesia ^^
Hey Russ, please consider showing more of this awesome trip! I love your comments on handheld, maybe you could do a footage montage from some of the places you've been with voiceover? Love from Brazil.
Loved the vacation footage and the fact you got to surprise some people by busting out the language. Would like to see more on that roguelike game next!
Amazed that Russ is able to so seamlessly integrate a travel review on a retro gaming handheld channel and not have it feel out of place. Love it!!
That's our Russ!
It’s interesting because a big chunk of his audience travel a lot! I picked my gaming device for travel based on his reviews!
