You're not breaking up with me are you?

[ThaEurasian]

Knowing you put the money from YouTube into a college fund for your kid is adorable and gives you major good dad points 👍

[Haulien]

Type-C charging should definitely be kept in your pass/fail list!

It irks me to no end when companies try and cheap out on the $0.02 resistors that enable that functionality.

The reason I like you over some of the other handheld reviewers is you’re not afraid to go in on these guys for their mistakes. And you’re very good at calling them out. And it’s pretty wholesome how you’re giving YouTube money to your kid that’s awesome! I always check your videos to know if I should buy a device or not. You, Retro Game Corps, Wulf Den are my favorites! Keep it up bro thanks again.

I really like the Pass/Fail checklist. Thank you for including Type C Charging, hopefully that will be encouragement for manufacturers to include that more often!

You can't just trigger people's ptsd with those words so recklessly, although valid points all around.

[Arcadn]

Videos like these make it clear that you have a very thorough and honest analysis process and I love that about your channel.

[NinjaHotline]

I salute your commitment to rigor and accuracy. I've always found your work on this channel to be thorough and informative. Thanks for all your hard work, I'm interested in seeing this new video format

[Ritzrfx]

You are totally the quality control of these retro handheld companies, I bet they would like to have your endorsement on their products, like “taki approved” stamp, that’s definitely help with your kid’s college fund

[ickydevil]

Love it! Your channel stood out to me from the start because I could tell you had genuine opinions on the device. I think this change will make it stand out again because now YT is filled with people showing the device in their hands and saying "it's great."

I know doing shorts it's also time consuming, but for uneventful devices like going from the 35xx plus to the 35xxH which in theory should just be a form factor revision, a Short stating some of the problems or good features could be enough to understand the main points. Provided that a review for the similar device was indeed done. I admit is cool to have a review on every single device that comes out as some other YouTubers do, since even if it's mostly the same as a previous review, when you are buying something you typically want to have as much content on it as possible.
But this isn't your full time job, even if it is, you might not want to invest that much time in something that feels repetitive.
I'm here for this new approach, I will definitely be checking this information on every device I'm interested in

I first learned about and got excited with retro gaming handhelds from your videos. And you are the reason I finally have a handheld - the RG353P - which I adore. Thanks for all you do and for being honest in your videos.

[xMoobyx]

Thank you for doing what you do and I'm glad we have someone like you in the community ❤️ much love

[thiagoaraujos]

Thank you Taki, I appreciate your new checklist, and what you said makes total sense! I also noticed the stuttering issues with the Anbernic Stock OS and was amazed that most people, Youtubers and users, don't notice it and think the Stock is fine (including the Stock mod). You're doing a great service for the community.

[jeffmofo]

ok, I appreciate the level of detail you provide in your reviews and it being your second job shows your dedication.
Including a review sheet of each device is even better.
But where are you including this review sheet?
A stand alone website? Substack so you can charge for it?
I think a stand alone website with a grid/table layout that one can sort would be awesome.

[GeneraIHide]

Appreciate you Taki. Your vids and discord have be a great asset for me when weighing my own purchase decisions

[joypad]

You're awesome, Taki. I'm always looking forward to your videos because you have the sharpest eyes in ears out there. You will always point stuff out no one is able to, and that makes you unique. You're not only great for the consumers but for the devs as well. Companies need to be more appreciative of people like you - imo.

[qquack]

Love ya channel dude, I like how ur always honest with ya reviews but it’s always with good intent and u try to help the company’s with issues they have missed. Thanks 🙏

[AdamBA]

I’m excited for the prospect of your new format!!! I can’t say I would have understood the “why” intuitively, but thanks to your explainer I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks!

[Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh]

Taki title "we need to talk, I'm breaking up with you" 🤣😂
