    I kind of glossed over all my camera setups, but here is more detail. Of all my studio equipment, these are the most costly and superfluous, but like I mentioned in the video it has exponentially increased my productivity to have "stationary" cameras instead of having to swap lenses and tripods every time:
    Desk camera: Canon R8 with EF 16-35mm f/2.8L (used) + adapter
    Studio camera: Canon R8 with RF 50mm f/1.8 STM
    Top-down camera: Sony A6700 with 16-50mm f/3.5
    B-roll camera: Canon R6 MkII with RF 24-105 f/4L

    Man, this video really demonstrated some RGC lore I had no idea about! This man achieved the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, was a successful food blogger, and is a NYT bestseller of multiple cookbooks!
    I'm actually not a great fan of Paleo dieting (I have not found the arguments that the foods our ancestors made was inherently more ethical or healthy to be compelling), but I do have a high interest in culinary anthropology regardless, so I might pick up that Heritage Cookbook ebook!

    • @washuai
      @washuai Před měsícem +1

      Russ has mentioned dietary restrictions, gluten intolerance. As someone with gluten intolerance, yes, it's about health, but it isn't just some intellectual theory, it's more about necessity. You don't have to go full paleo to get gluten free, but there's some good cross over there. Those products definitely help give me options. It's understandable, how when someone runs into those kinds of dietary restrictions, they might rethink everything they're eating, to be proactive about not gaining additional restrictions.
      It's great most people don't have dietary restrictions. The unfortunate consequence is that makes it harder for people with them to get what they need. Thankfully, dieters (who should be focused on a healthy diet, not dieting) have been making those products for a long time. Without dieters, diabetics would pay more for fewer, sugar free options.
      While dieters do unintentionally create some dangerous issues for celiac and gluten free people, when people with negative perception of dieters, don't realize it's a necessity, not a choice for those patrons. Dieters, also help spread the availability and lower costs.pros and cons

    • @washuai
      @washuai Před měsícem +2

      To your point, humanity has evolved, our bacteria have definitely evolved. It depends.
      It's hard to go wrong with meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, in eating healthier and feeling better. Moderate
      In some cases this kind of thinking is really causing cruelty to cattle (a truly only grass fed is a starving animal, because they've adapted to the diet change).

    • @godminnette2
      @godminnette2 Před měsícem

      @@washuai Yeah I mean, I don't eat meat for ethical reasons. I also can't eat certain foods due to dietary restrictions. However, I look at the evidence and context for each thing I might eat as opposed to painting with a broad brush - something being traditional does not mean it is better for us to eat than something that was created in the last 50 years.

It's been a while and I know Chicken is proudly watching you from cat's heaven, so keep doing it, my friend, I'll be coming along for this ride, even if I don't buy anything or don't game as much, your charisma, energy, and passion kept me connected for these years.

    Man, you are THE guy of your business, always a pure joy to watch your videos even without owning a single retro handheld or anything like that 😅
    And let me tell you - another thing would be awesome to see from you. Your expertise about food. A guy so talented in presenting us perfectly made videos would also nail the food video thing for sure. Sadly there is no second Russ to have enough time to do that.
    It would be a dream come true, making an awesome dinner, enjoy it on a sunny evening in Hawaii and talking about tech stuff. You know with a snack and a drink, the same we grab while watching your videos.
    You said you are just a normal guy making videos, but you do so much for us with it, can't even put this in words alltogehter. Awesome, and good luck for the next 500k 🔥

    hell yeah, shout out to the MX ergo trackball (-p.s. if you ever have any issues with the left and right click switches "double clicking" I took mine apart and swapped them out with Kailh GM 2.0 switches, and haven't had an issue since) -Somewhat better than having to buy another for $80 or more to replace it.

    • @washuai
      @washuai Před měsícem +1

      I love trackballs. I wish I was a thumb user, more options. I wish I could find a kailh solution. I busted the scroll third button on both my not so industrial afterall L Trac and my Elecom Deft Pro (it needs bearing swap since I bought it, besides) . I couldn't afford to try a Ploopy, so I've been making do with a G305 lightspeed for now, but I miss my trackball. I was tempted to give the Elecom another go, but there's no reason that part would not just bust again. They are cheaper than when I got mine, similar in cost to the light speed now, which has gone up. My rule for buying mice is $29.99 basic gaming. The only reason the two mice I got that were that was sales.
      If some games just allowed remapping (Which why doesn't two point hospital, for example ?) maybe they updated, since then, but I was 🤬, so I haven't checked back in a long time.

  • @belak512
    @belak512 Před měsícem +2

    I love behind the scenes stuff like this!
    One of my small pro-tips for people with standing desks is to get a long power strip/surge protector, similar to what you'd use in a workshop, and mount it to the bottom of your desk (Stanley makes a good one - I'm currently using their SurgeMax Pro 9). It makes it much easier to make sure your cables can raise and lower with the desk if you just need to deal with that one primary power cable.

  • @LukePollack
    @LukePollack Před měsícem +3

    Very nice setup Russ! Love all the design changes you've made. Also the new set looks great!
    For your multi-cam setup, one thing that might be worth a shot trying is changing up the angle of your Elgato key lights. This might not be possible given your space constraints, and the fact that you are also lighting the tabletop below with those lights, but if you can separate your lighting so that your key light and your desk lighting are different, that will give you far more flexibility.
    Anyways, if you wanted, i would recommend, moving your main key light down a little, and rotate it slightly more in front of your face, so that the lighting isn't as harsh on the one side of your face. This will help brighten up your other eye, and also get rid of the harsh shadow your head casts on your shoulder.
    One way you could achieve this is by either moving that main key from the side of your desk to the back, so that its more directly facing you. Or a better alternative, would be to add an additional key light to that back of desk position facing you at an angle( if that makes sense haha), and then taking your existing key and angling it more towards your tabletop for the top down angle. That way you reduce the shadows in both shots.
    Anyways congrats on 500k, you're killing it man!

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks for the tips! I've already moved my lights a couple times since recording this footage, it's an eternal cycle for me. I am actually trying to encourage shadows in my shots to make them a bit more cinematic and unique, but I still need to experiment more. It's such a delicate balance between lighting myself and the table with limited space, and then ALSO trying to reduce screen reflections on the handhelds I'm filming. I'll figure out that perfect triangle of lighting someday :)

    My cat with FIV is about to go. Not excided to make that post-him transition, but it does make me feel better that one of my favorite YTers got through something similar. Thanks for regularly being a positive force, and creating such a wonderful space for fans to do our thing. Thank you, Russ!

    You are the man bro. Since I found your channel it’s been crack for me. From your voice to your editing to your viewpoints, I’m all in. Everything you say interests me so consider me a full time subscriber! ❤ keep on being awesome and changing the CZcams gam! And my heart goes out to you About your loss of your kitty. I have 4 cats myself and I cherish every moment with them just as you said in the video. I hope you are doing alright and I’m sure chicken is really proud of all the new friends and supporters you have online. Much love from Wyoming

    Thank you Russ for the great and informative videos. In college about to get my associates over the summer and these videos help me relax and take my mind off school when I’m tired or stressed. Congrats on 500k 🎉

    Hey Russ, congratulations for the 500K!!!! Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes studio! Love your videos, and I see that a lot of other CZcamsrs often refer to your channel! I have been watching you for quite some time, as I like the way you present things and how you structure each video. Well-done and here's to the next big goal, 1M! Keep the videos coming!

    Thanks for the studio tour, Russ. Gives a lot of us more perspective on the hardwork you are doing on your content... Never knew that you were in the Navy, an author of cookbooks, and that you liked vinyl. I was so happy when I saw that you also have a white Ninja Gaiden famicom cart as I have the same one. Looking forward for more vids! And no, your wife won't kill you😂 Thanks again! (Missing my cat when you mentioned Chicken❤)

    Looking back at your videos from even just a year ago, it's immediately clear that your videos have been increasing in quality, no doubt. So it's commendable to see you've still got your head in the game and are making efforts to push things even further. Looking forward to future content!

    Love the updated studio tour Russ! You were the one that got me into Retro Handhelds in the first place and now I love them so much I started my own CZcams channel based on... Retro Handhelds lol. Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes as this was very informative and I took alot of great tips from this video! Thanks again!

    Hope you hit a million subscribers in a few years from now :). The level of detail and enthusiasm you put into your reviews makes them so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It's one of the few channels I can just sit and watch for 30 minutes straight without feeling bored.

    @retrogamecube Před 28 dny

    Congratulations on an amazing milestone! I’m a more recent follower, since about a year or so ago, and I was more learning about what mini pc’s are recommended for retro emulation at that time. Your many more videos on handhelds got me to explore that side of emulation and now I’m sucked in 😅
    I wanted to say, I think what sets you apart and why you have had so much success is your authenticity, and your approach and results come off like a respected journalist’s output would. Really amazing work and your success is admirable!

    Congrats man, 500k people that love the same specific things seems wild to me. I always think retro gaming, or just being a gaming enthusiast is such a niche and small thing. The fact that there are so many of us out there is so sick. Thanks for giving us a place to gather, Russ. Do you feel like a celebrity? Or like a regular dude still? I've always wondered what it feels like to have so many people looking to you. I bet it feels really weird.

    Sorry to hear about Chicken. Your new studio set up looks fantastic. I’m so glad I’ve been able to follow you from the start of your CZcams channel. You’ve gone from strength to strength and really created an amazing channel. Cameras and studios aside, it’s your personality that makes this channel. It’s down to earth, friendly and one of the most informative channels I’ve ever watched. I completely trust and respect your opinions on all things retro gaming. Thanks for all your hard work. Can’t wait to see were the channel goes in the future.

    Hey Russ, congrats on your new milestone! I must admit I haven't kept up with some of your recent stuff cos I've finally bought a Steam Deck for my retro gaming, so I haven't felt like I need to keep up with new handhelds. I still refer to your SD EmuDeck guide all the time as I tweak things so I'm super grateful for that. Your studio looks so swish! I would loved to shake your hands next time you visit Tokyo!

    That's some sweet set-up Russ and love the fact you got that Salamander Famicom cart out front on display, the best looking Famicom cart they ever released in my opinion and what a game. You deserve the 500k subs as this is without a doubt the best Retro tech channel on here. Keep up the good work 🙂
