Kei's Retro Gaming on AYANEO, x86 Price Hikes & PROJECT RONIN

👉Retro Handhelds Podcast S6 E8: Kei (@KeiRetroGaming) drops in for a full interview and hangout with Stubbs and Rob (@retrotechdad ). They dive into their favorite handhelds, rising ram, PC parts and tech prices, the ongoing AYANEO situation, and Kei’s involvement in the kerfuffle. On a personal note, they cover life as a content creator, Kei’s journey from starting his channel to where he’s headed next, plus a heartfelt update on his recent health concerns and what the future looks like. Lastly, the crew checks out PROJECT RONIN, a new Windows optimization tool that Kei built with handhelds in mind (but great for any Windows 11 PC). Stubbs gives it a test run during the episode… and it’s fantastic so far! The app is now ready for you to try too—link below. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Featured in this video: Kei's PROJECT RONIN Video: https://youtu.be/DnjHg1v7-lg PROJECT RONIN Github: https://github.com/keiretrogaming/Project-Ronin Zu's AYANEO Update / Next 2 vid: https://youtu.be/N60wvnq9js0?si=ZVCYH2ZXvPWIxHMa Products mentioned: 🛍️MSI Claw 8: https://rh-go.link/MSI-Claw-8_BB 🛍️Stubbs' Minix EU715 Mini PC: https://rh-go.link/Minix-EU715 🛍️AKNES: https://rh-go.link/AKNES 🛍️Retroid: https://rh-go.link/Retroid 🛍️AYN: https://rh-go.link/AYN 💵 Save with our hand-picked gaming & handheld deals: https://handheld.deals 🔎Browse our curated weekly deals: https://rh-go.link/DILLS ✨Became a Member or Patron👇 🌐All Our Links: https://rh-go.link 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎵 Music by Jim Gray (https://ourghosts.bandcamp.com) and SoundStripe 🎞️Production & Editing by SonyWWDD30 (and Gary for Zu's vids...sometimes) ✨Thumbnail by Aish from @DigitalNostalgiaOfficial ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
