  1. Description: In this video I repair and restore a rare video game console called the SuperGrafx. This console was a market failure, but that’s what makes it so interesting. This is an extremely thorough restoration that took over 8 hours to complete. Once I’m done with refurbishing the console, it’s better than new!
  2. I have 2 of these old iPhone6's pulled out of electronic recycling, kidding aside I use one with an app as a TouchPad on my desktop, it works amazing, as well as any laptop touchpad. Everyone knows I like to tinker and repurpose tech and obviously, I am into old tech as a hobby. Still, there comes a point where for use as a daily driver a device has diminishing returns if you continue to invest in it, when even low to midrange current models run circles around even something high-end from 10 years ago it's time to rethink it's value in the current year.
  3. Is the iPhone 6 still worth it in 2024? - My failed attempt at a SHORT instead it's just a 1 min vertical video FYI JUST A BIT OF SILLY FUN as I see a lot of these types of "Is it still worth picking up in 20xx" videos. 🤷🏻‍♂️😝

  6. Towers II: Enhanced Stargazer Edition is here for the Atari Jaguar! The RPG was released for the Jaguar in late 1996 and rereleased in 2023 with double the ROM size and massive quality of life upgrades.

      Not a fan of the snow myself. 

      So far (knock on wood), we've had a very mild winter here.  The only snow I see on the forecast is on Sat 1/13, so we shall see. 

       

  10. It is simply just a case of a defect in the image. With AI generated you have some type of deformity or error in the images, early on it was really bad with displaying peoples hands, often displaying too many fingers or twisted fingers, or just looking unnatural, also text is typically indecipherable, or just odd out of place. Of course, it’s getting better at an alarming rate, but still stand outs, and there is a sign other than the obvious that it is in fact AI generated, in this case it would be the odd shape of the one shoe.
  11. Loom… If the name sounds familiar, then you probably were a kid or a teenager in the 80s, just like me. If you played this game not long after it came out, as I did in 1991, then you can understand the kind of enchantment it was back then. Loom wasn’t really groundbreaking. It didn’t bring any major change to the gaming scene. But it perfected an existing genre: it brought the graphical adventure to a new level of maturity. You could expect no less from Lucasfilm Games, and this project led by Brian Moriarty was a masterpiece of its own. Loom has superior graphics, soundtrack, and an ironclad scenario. It also adds a little touch of its own to the point & click adventure games, with a unique user interface based on musical notes. All these aspects put together make Loom an outstanding game despite its few drawbacks, the main one being its simplicity level. So let’s dive deeper into this mysterious and enchanting universe. ZERO footage from emulators was used to make this video! Only the actual CRT screen pixels are shown! Enjoy 🙂
  12. Current Desktop, nice and chill. 😎
