YDKF Episode 189: Joysticks

If you’ve ever wanted to hear a grown man talk about joysticks for over an hour, boy are you in luck! From old Atari joysticks to modern USB controllers, I run through all my favorites on this week’s You Don’t Know Flack. I also talk a bit about the MiST, supporting local arcades, and Retrobriting without Retrobrite.
