Retrorgb Weekly Roundup

Here's a "swapcast" with friend, tournament organizer and pro gamer Arturo, aka Sabin.  We streamed this live on Art's Twitch channel and I'm also featuring it here, as we think both of our audiences would enjoy us nerding out over lag, capture and just other fun randomness.  There were some connection issues, but I think I did a decent enough job stitching it together here, so it's barely noticeable.  This is also available as a video on either of our channels - Just check the links for more info:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-arturo-aka-sabin.html Twitch:  https://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby/about YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/fgcsabin Twitter:  https://twitter.com/nycfurby Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you:  https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts:  https://www.retrorg
