Fixed it

I was able to rescue it entirely with editing! Rejoice.

This is the final version which I'll be releasing t...

Oops

Thanks to an attentive viewer, I have been informed that I got the entire explanation of Bayer color filters wrong in the gray scanner video. This does a tremendous amount of damage to the narrative and I will probably have to reshoot a big chunk ...

Video: The Grey Scanner For Computer (Or: A Long And Incomplete History Of Scanning)

I absolutely did not intend for this to be an hour and forty minutes long but once I got to a certain point it just didn't make sense for it to be any shorter. It's basically two videos, but the thing doesn't make sense without the history and the...

Side channel: OPS module vlog

Haven't really done vlog style stuff in eons, didn't know if anyone would be interested, but I had a project to do yesterday and I figured it was a chance to talk at length about the whole OPS situation. That's been developing positively - I now h...

Video & update

Hey everyone, this is the finished version of little guys 8 which I'll be releasing tomorrow; I made a few adjustments and reshot a couple segments.

Mostly I just wanted to let you know that it might be a bit before I make another "pr...

Video: Little Guys Episode 6

This one was a slog; I find the topic absolutely fascinating, but perhaps as a result I struggled really hard to make it come out right. I shot this episode two months ago, then proceeded to shoot two more littles guy after that (hen...

Side video: Microscope machine

Another side channel video. Hopefully nobody minds the Patreon notifications; these are definitely lower quality ...

Side channel video: Famiclone fire risk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZVcLDsDi0w

This one didn't go the way I wanted it to so it's not fit for a main channel video but I figured it was fit for a...

This took SO MUCH LONGER THAN I EXPECTED and I made SO MANY MISTAKES.

Let it be known that I almost screwed...

Video: Niveus, Part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjrcB2qMbYU

I'll give this a proper title later, but: at long last, part two of the NiveusMedia saga arrives! And it's not qu...

Video: Little Guys Ep 4, Supplemental

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbZNu0wasA

This one pretty much speaks for itself - I had a bunch of corrections and additions in re: the last video, enough...

Video: The Best "Laptop" Ever Made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO5hYhdxIuk

I'd be lying if I said I didn't make this in response to another video but I'll take the specifics to my grave. 2024-04-07 06:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Video: Little Guys Ep 7

Coming up with a thumbnail or title for this one is gonna be fun. I have no idea how to foreshadow any of this no...

Video(s): Three Of Them

So here's something new, or rather, three new things:

Li'l Guys ep 3: 2024-03-03 20:06:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Video: Little Guys, Episode 1

This is a new series I'm starting that's intended to be cozy, unscripted and low effort. I'm not planning on retiring the studio or anything, but I really need to do more videos that don't require all that setup and prep or I'm gonna burn out, plu...

Video: yet-untitled DVD player teardown

Haven't named this one yet but I'm so tired of editing it - I just want to release it, I'll name it later. I bought a DVD player basically sight-unseen, mostly because it had a silly name, then sat down to shoot a video about it that was basically...

Video: Quick Start Gaiden: Episode 2

This was honestly one of the more fun episodes I've made in a while. That's kinda just the size of it. Enjoy!

The Crab Rave Edit 🦀

Completely forgot to upload this after the last thrift store video (though the response to that one was so mixed I kinda just wanted to forget it, I guess.) This is not a cinematic masterpiece but I said I was gonna share it so here it is. 🦀 2024-02-14 19:20:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Scrapped: Thrift Store Kit

There's a category of video I thought would be a lot more common when I set up my Patreon tiers, and that's "finished, perfectly watchable, but just not what I wanted, so it's going in the trash." As it's turned out however, when I'm not satisfied...

Video: Niveus Media Center

I was going to come up with a better name for this and a thumbnail and stuff and maybe even release it publicly today but then my power went out. Here's a video everyone lmk what you think

As noted in the video this was just intended as an exercise to test a new camera, but I ended up with enough foot...

Video: System Commander: Paying $60 For GRUB

This one took me an astonishing length of time to create since I just kept having to reshoot things, partly because I kept finding new dimensions to this program's limitations. I hope you enjoy it. Below is an essay about why I haven't done more v...

Hey everyone. I have been completely overwhelmed by the support you've all shown me, and I was going to the thrif...

Health updates

Hey everyone, just wanted to check in and let you know how I'm doing. I don't want to post gruesome details here, but suffice to say, I spoke to my surgeon's office today and, phew, I was proper sick as it turns out. But they say my recov...

And we're back

Will update when I'm feeling better but I made it.

Health situation

So, the last month has been very difficult, and progress on my next video has been very slow, and partly that's due to some weird health issues I've been experiencing. In a definitely unrelated event, I am currently waiting to get an appendectomy....

Toasting in progress

There's probably not going to be a video for another week at least, because I have decided to start tackling the Video Toaster. Please pray for me.

I have the feeling I'm going to end up producing over four hours of material on this subject ...

Video: Weird Processors

Workshopping the name etc on this one. I've been having a really rough time the last few weeks with health issues and other stuff, hopefully things will get better soon, but I decided I couldn't put everything on hold indefinitely so I went ahead ...
