[light jazz music]
- Greetings, and welcome to an LGR Q and A thing!
And yeah, this is a reward tier
on the LGR Patreon page.
So people that have signed up for that
get to ask me questions
and I'm gonna answer them,
or at least the best of my ability
and the ones that I can answer,
not like 'yes or no' ones.
This is also the computer
that I recently put together,
that we're gonna be using.
This is the NuXT Turbo clone PC thing,
which is really awesome, and I don't know,
I just wanted to use it,
so that's what we're gonna be doing here.
And yeah, first question,
let's just go ahead and get to it.
This is from Greg Thomson.
"Over the course of 10 years,
"has the process of creating videos become easier
"with regards to script writing, filming,
"editing, and overall workflow?"
No. [confident chuckle]
It's gotten harder.
Absolutely, because I keep upping my game, so to speak.
Better cameras, microphones, lighting,
editing, and all sorts of effects and stuff
that I didn't normally do.
And really, just the whole thing
is way harder than it ever was before,
and that's totally my own fault.
But, I think the results are worth it.
13Cubed asks, "What's involved in the production
"of a typical LGR episode?
"How much time is spent writing scripts,
filming, editing, et cetera?"
Well, all those things you just mentioned
are involved in the production.
Other than that, I mean, yeah,
I could probably do like a making of video at some point.
I kinda did awhile back, and it was just like a time lapse.
It wasn't too involved, and I also might
want to do a video about equipment,
'cause people ask me about that all the time.
But yeah, how much time is spent?
It depends, you know, anywhere from 20 hours
for a really easy video,
or even less for something like this,
all the way up to 60, 70, 80, who knows how many hours
because sometimes videos are just spread out
over a course of months or years, or who knows?
Alon Eiton asks, "How do you come up
"with the topics for your videos?"
A mixture of stumbling around the rabbit holes
of the internet, and late night eBay searches.
And yeah, just whatever I'm feeling
on any given day of the week.
It changes week to week, you know.
Sometimes I'm feeling like an Oddware episode,
or putting together a Tech Tales,
or maybe I've got something I want to build or repair
and that's just been sitting around for awhile,
or enough footage comes together for Thrifts
and it's like okay, I may as well edit that this week.
It just depends.
Honestly, I have no system. No system whatsoever.
Starkindler Studio asks,
"What is your favorite segment/content to make?
"The stuff that makes you feel super accomplished
"getting done, regardless of views or revenue?"
Definitely "LGR Tech Tales", no question there.
It's just that has the most research and the most detail,
and a lot of little things that have to come together
to make a cohesive-looking video.
Finding the right imagery and newspaper articles,
and magazines, and screenshots, and video.
Yeah, it's just a really rewarding thing to put together,
and I wish that I had more time to do more of them.
Logan King asks, "A lot of your videos
"seem to have really long lead times nowadays,
"where you have to track down a specific version
"of some software from 25 years ago
"to even see if the hardware you bought works.
"How do you keep track of all the things?"
Lists, mostly.
Writing things down, putting it in calendars,
setting reminders for myself on my phone
or computer or whatever.
Yeah, just basic organizational stuff.
And also I have a shelving unit over there
full of other LGR projects that are in the works.
So every time I see it, I feel shame and pressure.
[shameful pressurize silence]
That helps.
Putte H asks,
"Which of your computers are you most proud of?"
Well, recently, I'm really proud of the NuXT here,
or the "NuXT Cube," as you all have started calling it,
which is actually quite clever. I wish I had thought of that.
But anyway, yeah, the NuXT Cube.
I like this, but I also like, you know,
the Woodgrain 486, and things that I've done repairs on,
and augmented with other parts.
You know, any time there's like blood, sweat,
and tears going into a project,
it makes it more special, so yeah.
Generally I guess I'm most proud of whatever
I've worked on most recently.
Chris asks, "Why woodgrain?
"Or more specifically, what originally made you
"interested in that aesthetic?"
I guess it probably comes from growing up around it.
I had a lot of wood paneling and stuff at home,
and grandparents, and everybody's houses had it.
There was woodgrain everywhere.
So anyway, there's a nostalgia factor.
But beyond that, I don't know,
I just like the way it looks.
I like natural textures on things.
I love original, natural wood, that actually comes from trees.
As much as I like veneers and vinyls and stuff,
those tend to have repeating patterns,
but when you don't see that so obviously,
and it's cut from different parts of the tree,
that looks really cool.
[laughs]
I don't know, I just like woodgrain.
However, I don't like it on everything.
You know, that's another thing that some people
seem to get sort of misconstrued.
I just like it on certain things.
Mostly electronics, especially up against brushed metals.
Brushed nickel and wood look great,
or a nice walnut with a flat matte black
kind of textured finish look great.
I like certain things. I like woodgrain.
That's how it goes.
Here's a question from a bunch of people.
It was all kind of similar, so I put it together.
From JoeBoxr, Adult Sword Owner, Rob Caporetto,
and Dave Langley, "What's your collecting holy grail?
"What hardware have you sought out but just can't find?
"If money, space, availability were no object,
"what would you get?"
Well, if nothing at all was any object,
I'd probably get something crazy, huge, historical
monstrosity, like a '60s IBM mainframe or something.
But, I don't even know if I'd really want that,
because what would I do with it, and what in the world?
[laughs]
But yeah, actual personal holy grails
or machines that I had as a kid,
more specifically the machine that I had as a kid,
like an old Packard Bell or the Acer or something.
But they're long gone, you know.
They were either trashed or just gotten rid of in some way,
and I can never find them again
'cause that was an exact machine.
Even if I find the exact same model,
it'll never be the same computer.
My goal holy grail are machines
that genuinely no longer exist.
Will Herrman asks, "What do you think
"is the future of Edutainment software,
"especially considering how most children
"use phones and tablets instead of PCs?"
I don't know, I'd say I'm pretty hopeful
about the future of Edutainment.
I mean, admittedly I'm not in that world,
I don't have kids,
I'm not lookin' up tablet Edutainment software.
But I do know that kids nowadays
are way more tech savvy than I was
at earlier ages than ever
and they've got access to more and more stuff.
So hopefully that means
there's more Edutainment opportunities.
I'd say overall, I'm hopeful,
although I'm just not too familiar
with the current state of Edutainment.
Bryan Walker asks, "Do you think more modern tech
"will offer as much nostalgia factor in the future
"as the stuff you feature now?"
Of course! I mean, nostalgia is
gonna affect everybody at some point.
And as you get older and you start thinking about your past,
then that feeling comes up
and you get all warm and fuzzy inside
when you see some piece of technology
that you used to use as a kid or whatever.
So yeah, people nowadays are gonna be nostalgic
for the Xbox One and the Switch
and all that kinda stuff eventually.
That's just how it goes.
There's a study talking about the age ranges
that you're really most nostalgic for.
It's like, 6 to 14 or something
and everybody is just sort of stuck
in that period in their heard, in terms of the things
that they wanna go back to in their 30s.
I don't remember what the specifics were,
but nostalgia seems to pretty universal.
Andrew Davenport asks, "If you could only have one computer
"and two games for the rest of your life,
"what would they be?"
How much can I cheat on this question?
Like, a modern machine that can just emulate everything,
but I don't think that's really what you're asking.
So, if I had to pick just one,
it'd probably be a late '90s
Pentium 3 Windows 98 machine or something
so I could run Duke 3D and other Dos games.
So yeah, my two games, it'd be Duke 3D...
[contemplation of steel]
[chuckles] and Duke 3D: Atomic Edition.
[laughs at redundancy]
Zikes asks, "What's your all-time favorite Sims expansion?"
That would be have to be the Sims Hot Date, without question
because that's the one that really opened my brain
into the possibilities of a Sims series.
It brought Sims out of the house
and off their home lot and gave them a world to explore.
That was super cool and it just made me super optimistic
about the future of the Sims.
And every iteration has got to be better
than the last one, right.
And I really wish that was true.
[ponders Sims 4 stuff packs]
Tristan Waddington asks,
"What's your life like outside of LGR?
"Can we get a tour of your neighborhood
"and favorite coffee shop?"
Probably not, at least not until I leave this area
because I don't wanna show my neighborhood
or anything like that.
That's just too personal, I don't like doing that.
I don't even like showing my house, I've never even really shown my house.
But, my life outside of LGR is pretty normal, I don't know.
I go around and do life things, like a person.
Margaret Ramsdell-Green asks,
"What modern games are you currently playing?"
Let's see, right now, well I'm working on a review
for Ion -- I almost said Ion Maiden,
it's called Ion Fury now, 'cause lawsuits or whatever.
And also, something else
that was affected by legal junk, Jupiter Hell,
which is actually a sequel of sorts to Doom RL,
which that was Zenimax threatened to cease and desist.
Man, all these legal trouble games.
And I'm also playing through Judgment on the PS4.
So it's in the Yakuza universe,
made by the same developers,
but it's not like a Yakuza story exactly.
It's more of a detective game.
That's pretty fun too.
So yeah, those few, I'm playing those.
Daniel Lee asks, "If you suddenly came into an arrangement
"whereby all of the expenses necessary
"to maintain your current lifestyle were automatically paid,
"what would you do with your life?"
I would probably do a lot more LGR.
[laughs]
Or more involved things or something.
If I didn't have to worry about any revenue
or anything like that, man yeah,
I'd take months between videos.
Maybe it's a good thing I don't have all the money.
But if I did, yeah,
I'd totally do more of what I'm doing now,
maybe more ambitious, crazy project
or start a museum or something cool like that.
Something like a foundation for preservation
or something for computers and software, I don't know.
A lot of possibilities.
Adriel asks, "What is your musical background like?"
So I've alluded to this in the past in various things,
and yeah, I took piano and guitar
and all sorts of things for years throughout childhood.
In my teens, I really got into "DJing" or whatever
and basically just running digital audio workstations
and messing around with Propellerhead Software
and Fruity Loops and EJ Software
and all sorts of things like that,
just making my own mixes and stuff.
Yeah, I have some basic understanding of different things
and that's about it.
I made a bunch of albums, but it was just for fun.
Here's another set of similar questions
from multiple people.
Deryn, Christopher, and Alyxx ask,
"What music do you listen to nowadays?
"What music do you like that people might not know about?
"Do you still listen to anything
"in the genres of techno and trance?"
It's funny you asked that last one there,
'cause I actually just bought a bunch of trance vinyl.
I don't know, I felt the urge.
But anyway, yeah, that's not what I listen to the most.
But to give you an idea of what I do listen to,
maybe what I'd recommend,
so I have a playlist I put in the video description
so you can check out some of my more recent
ear worms on YouTube.
Yeah, go through there
and maybe you'll find something that you like
or at least get an understanding
of some of the things that get stuck
in my head from week to week.
Corbin Davenport asks,
"What's your favorite Star Trek series?"
"Next Generation", full stop.
David Kile asks, "What emerging technology
"are you most interested in, and why?"
Well, augmented reality is one
of the more interesting ones right now,
largely because I haven't really tried it much yet,
except for phones and stuff like that.
But yeah, the really high end headset versions,
that's super intriguing, just taking a virtual world
and putting it on top of your world around you,
mixing things together.
But right now, they got these smaller field of view things
and there's some other weird quirks and stuff.
But once you fully are surrounded
in augmented reality situation, that sounds amazing.
I'm really psyched for the future of that,
which is nowhere near Holodeck levels quite yet.
Logan Phoenix asks, "Have you had to scrap any videos?
"If so, what were they?"
You know, kinda.
I mean, there's a lot of videos that I haven't finished,
like dozens and dozens of videos
that I will do some work on and they're just not done yet.
But they're not done yet.
That's the qualifier there.
So, I don't know if they're really scrapped
so much as they are permanently shelved.
[laughs]
Until I pick them up again.
I don't know.
So I guess there's a lot of scrapped videos.
I plan to get back to them eventually,
but sometimes they sit there for freakin' years.
So, it's how it goes, man.
Chisty Lewis and Mark Tbom
ask some questions about living places,
"How was life growing up in North Carolina?
"How did your family end up moving to St. Lucia,
"how long did you live there,
"and would you consider moving back?"
Let's talk about St. Lucia really quick.
My mother's from there, she was born there.
And so, that's one reason
I was able to get my dual citizenship,
both here in the US and St. Lucia.
But yeah, we went down there several times,
but the longest stint we were there was six months
or something, in the early 2000s.
Just sort of lived there, without going anywhere else.
And that was a crazy awesome experience.
And yes, I would love to go back.
I'm not sure if I'd live there full-time,
but I mean, I could.
I'm a citizen, so that's an option.
Yeah, lots of family history on that island,
going back a long ways.
And yeah, how was growing up in North Carolina?
Well, there's certain parts of the state
that I like more than others.
Where I'm at now in the western part of the state,
I do like a lot more than the eastern part.
So, mountains and stuff are really cool.
I like this area, kind of a lot.
But you know, it's the south.
It has its pros and cons,
depending on what you think are pros and cons.
Jim Leonard asks, "Do you plan on covering any software
"from the '80s, or have you moved on from that time period
"onto bigger and better subjects?"
I don't know if bigger and better is the term I would use.
It's more like subjects that are more personally gratifying,
I've definitely moved on to
and just really focused, like narrowed down
what I want my content to largely be about
and that tends to be '90s, early 2000s type stuff.
The things that interest me most about early computing stuff
is when it can updated and modernized like this.
But I don't know, I like it all.
It's just that I definitely want to focus
on the things that are most nostalgic to me, '90s stuff.
Franz Pattison asks, "What do your family/friends
"think of your YouTube career,
"now versus when you just started?"
Well when I just started,
I don't think anybody thought anything of it,
I didn't even think anything of it.
I was just doing it for fun, it wasn't money for years.
But then once it did start becoming some kind of a living,
that was interesting,
though I don't remember anything crazy,
in terms of conversations.
Just like, "Oh, you're doing that now.
"That's weird, but okay."
And that's kinda how it is right now still.
It only becomes more noticeable when we're out in public
and an LGR viewer recognizes me
and then family or friends are just like,
"Oh yeah, that's right, you're a person on the internet."
[laughs]
And then that's that.
It's a little weird thing being a YouTuber,
but thankfully, I don't have people around
that question it too much
or think that I'm nuts for doing it.
Mostly, it's just been very supportive
and kind of easy going.
Karashata and Eigen ask,
"Have you ever written your own computer game?
"If so, what was it?
"Do you have a dream game you'd like to make?"
No, I've never written my own computer game,
unless you count really basic things,
written in basic herr, basic, basic.
In terms of what a dream game that I'd like to make,
I don't know if I'd like to make it, I'd love to see it,
and that's a sort of all encompassing
racing role playing experience,
kind of a mixture of Test Drive Unlimited
and Forza Horizon and Need for Speed: Underground 2,
and everything, just mix all the racing games up,
all the really good ones.
And then, have this gigantic open world
with extremely realistic stuff,
but also extremely stupid arcade stuff
and absurd customization
where you can literally go in
and change the vents on your dashboard, man.
Like the damage model of BeamNG.drive and just [mumbles].
It'd be so cool to have everything.
Freakish Uproar asks,
"What's scarier to you, zombies or ghosts?"
I got to say zombies, 'cause ghosts, whatever.
They're like, translucents, so what are they gonna do?
Poltergeists, yeah that's kinda creepy.
But zombies, that's like a re-animated corpse,
possibly of somebody you know.
That's just terrifying on its own.
Zombies I could see, maybe being around here,
if the right science experiment went wrong
or weird virus or something re-animating corpses.
I don't know man, it could be possible.
But ghosts, yeah I don't really see ghosts.
So, zombies though.
DosDaze asks, "When playing through an adventure game,
"do you resort to walkthroughs to keep the flow going?
"If so, do you have any criteria for when you do?"
Yeah, absolutely use them,
'cause screw that, who's got time to dick around
and never get anything done?
But yeah, I don't have any criteria for it,
I just blob a walkthrough whenever I feel like it.
Obviously some games are better than others,
in terms of that or "better", they're easier.
[laughs]
Man, I kinda miss the universal hint system,
if you remember that.
I was a thing that'd give you steps or stages of hints
without spoiling the entire thing entirely,
like a walkthrough would.
I liked that system.
Magicmavekchen asks, "Other than retro tech,
"what other retro items do you collect?"
And if you've seen "LGR Thrifts",
pretty much all of that.
Retro media, for sure.
Music and movies and laser discs, records,
tapes, that kind of thing.
But yeah, all sorts of stuff,
like retro lamps, appliances,
and furniture, and oh man, I love retro furniture.
Mid century furniture, man, holy crap.
Probably gonna get an entire room
decked out in atonic age stuff.
Yeah, I don't know, retro everything,.
The Enforcer asks, "Out of all the things you found
"in thrift stores over the years,
"what items is your favorite find of all time?"
There's a couple that come to mind, for sure.
The IBM XT that I found in episode two or three
of "Thrifts", was amazing.
Never thought I'd find one of those at Goodwill,
much less for a decent price
and fully working and cool stuff inside.
But also, Space Taxi.
I found a complete boxed copy of that for like 12 bucks
at a Half Price Books in Illinois.
And I was already psyched because it was
a Mused software game that I already liked,
but then I got home and did some research and found out
that it's insanely rare and extremely valuable.
At least, if you can even find a copy,
which rarely ever happens.
So yeah, those two were really, really cool finds.
Dave Faxio asks,
"What do you do with all the stuff you collect?
"Do you ever sell it to make room for more?"
Well, I mostly cover it on LGR.
That's where most of the things that I acquire,
that's the purpose that I get them for,
is to show them.
Do I sell it to make room for more though?
Sometimes, but I'm honestly more inclined
to just give it away,
unless it's, I don't know, something that is maybe worth
the process of trying to sell it.
But yeah, I give away a lot of the stuff honestly.
I gave away like four five car loads of things
from my storage like, six months ago,
'cause I'm trying to downsize honestly.
Anyway, yeah, I definitely have to make room for more stuff.
I kinda try to make it a rule,
if I bring in something large,
I have to get rid of an equally large amount or sized thing.
Emil Olsen asks, "Have you ever considered
"combining LGR Thrifts and traveling?
"Like going to Europe or Japan."
Absolutely.
I would love to do that
and I don't know where the time or resources
are ever gonna come from to make that happen,
unless I make some serious sacrifices
to the rest of the channel for a time, to make it work.
But, maybe.
Maybe someday.
That'd be super cool though.
Gregory Milks, Kevin Marcoo, and Ian Spence
asking questions about jobs,
"What was your dream job as a kid?
"As a teen?
"What was your job before YouTube?
"What do you plan or hope to do
"after you retire from making LGR?"
Well, kinda going back to that
gigantic computer collecting thing.
If I ever retire,
I'll probably do something with a collection,
either give it away to a museum or start my own.
It'd be really cool to have a location
and have computer history out on display.
But there's a lot of cool places that already do that,
so I'd probably give it away to them.
In terms of what I would do, I don't know.
I don't really have any plans.
[laughs]
I'm just kinda milkin' this for as long as I can, right.
It's just too fun.
I'd probably still make videos,
even if I did stop making them for profit,
I just like making videos.
I don't ever see myself stopping creating,
regardless of whether or not as a job.
But yeah, what was my dream job as a kid?
Probably game design,
I loved doing level design and modding for any game
that I could find that had that support.
As a teenager, I wanted to go into art,
especially graphic design.
That's what I went to college for, didn't finish.
But I was trying to go for some graphic design thing.
And my job before YouTube,
immediately before, it was making custom picture frames.
But before that, a bunch of junk, man.
A lot of retail stuff,
I worked as an electronics specialist,
I worked selling makeup, I was in a call center,
I did a little bit of CD factory.
What was this, I don't know what I'm doing.
Anyway, a lot of weird, odd jobs.
But, custom framing right before LGR or during LGR.
Yeah.
John asks, "How do you have your PC games backed up?"
Mostly on hard drives, all kinds of them.
Solid states and spinning discs.
I stick it on all sorts of things.
I got servers, I got a Nas, I got online cloud stuff.
Just wherever, I love archiving all my stuff
and also post a lot of things on archive.org.
So yeah, I just stick it everywhere, man.
Redundancy, man.
That's the name of the game.
Miles H asks, "If you had to pick a specific year
"of technology to be stuck in,
"what year would it be?"
I thought about this,
and as much as I'd love to see the boom
of the original personal computing revolution,
like 1978 would be a great year,
probably 20 years later.
Sometime in the late '90s, '98, '99,
something like that would be great
just as an adult going back
and re-experiencing all these thing that I missed out on.
There was just so much going on
in the personal computing and gaming space.
Just everything was obsolete after a month,
and video cards and sound cards and games,
it's just a crazy exciting time for me, personally.
Ogspeace asks,
"What's your favorite adventure/point-and-click game?"
It's not really my genre,
so it'd probably be something stupid like Hugo 2.
[laughs]
'Cause those were the ones that I played back in the day,
I didn't really get into adventure games
until later on in life.
My late teens, I discovered a lot of the Sierra
and LucasArts things that I missed out on back in the day.
I don't have too much personal attachment to them.
So yeah, just say Hugo 2, 'cause why not?
Anonymous asks,
"What or whom would you say are you influences?
"Can you identify what inspired your style back then
"and what's the process that you go through
"when deciding changes?"
I've talked about my influences many times over the years,
but yeah, it's a lot of the mid 2000s content creators
and TV shows and stuff.
I loved "G4TV" and "Icons"
and all those kinda things, those shows were really neat
and pretty inspirational,
in terms of making things like "Tech Tales" now.
But like immediately, it was things like,
the Cinemassacre stuff, AVGN, of course,
Classic Game Room.
In terms of the process I go through
when deciding changes to my own format
or evolving the show, that's just incremental.
I don't really give it too much thought.
It's just that each individual video,
it's a personal rule of mine to try to improve slightly,
just one thing,
even it's just a little bit of an edit or a font choice
or a coloring choice or equipment
or any part of the process.
Just a little thing better each time
and incrementally, it gets better over the years.
And yeah, I just kinda go with the flow
and whatever it feels like at the time.
Mycophobia asks, "Ever been recognized in public?"
All the time, especially if I go to anything
computer or game related, like events and such.
But yeah, just around town, whatever.
Not really in my general vicinity,
because this is a pretty small little place,
not too many people watching retro tech
YouTube around here, I don't think.
But yeah, if I go to any one of the bigger cities
around the state, then yeah, definitely.
SolarstrikeVG asks, "Have you ever considered starting up
"an IRC channel or Discord server?"
I've considered it and very quickly decided against it
because I got too many other things going on.
That's it.
I think there's an unofficial Discord, LGR thing.
I've never used Discord,
I don't really have interest in any of this stuff.
It's just like, I got Twitter and Facebook and Patreon
and email and YouTube comments and all these other things,
and that's more than enough for me.
I feel bombarded as it is.
Chris Rogers asking about "LGR Tech Tales"
and wondering what I would need to make more of them.
More time, more money, more demand?
All three would be great!
But mostly time, because I know there's demand.
It's just a passion project, that's all that is.
I've got to feel pretty darn passionate
to put the time into one of those.
So yeah, it mostly would be more time.
Steve Skafte asks,
"Do you wish to pursue any longer-format filmmaking,
"such as a documentary series on other platforms?"
You know, not really.
I don't really have that aspiration
that a lot of other "big YouTubers" have
to get into making movies or documentaries or TV shows.
I just like making videos every week
about cool stuff that I have.
That's about it.
I've thought about it, sure.
It might be cool to have a feature length "Tech Tales"
on the history or such and such.
I don't know, something, like the person
talking about the "LGR Thrifts" going around the world.
I don't know, it's not on my radar.
I just like making weekly videos on LGR things.
Mark asks, "When is LGRcon?
"LGR-X? "LGRFest?"
Probably never.
That's just weird, man.
That's a weird thought.
Like, I guess people would come or something,
but I want to make it more generic than that.
Like, *just* LGR?
It seems strangely self-centered or something.
I think just anybody that makes their own conventions,
but I don't wanna do that, I wanna make videos.
[laughs]
Brian Nault asks, "Is there a particular controller
"that brings a rush of nostalgic memories?"
Yes, and I've covered it on LGR.
It's the Kraft, I think the Thunder Stick
is what it's called?
I always called it the mac and cheese joystick.
But yeah, it's just a simple, cheap, little joystick
that we had back in the day.
And that's why it's so special.
Every time I use it, play Need for Speed with it
or whatever, LHX, it's just a rush.
It's so fun.
I love that cheap, crappy joystick
and I will 'til the end of time.
And finally, Thomas asks,
"What is your argument to convince newcomers
"that computer history is worth exploring?"
Well for one thing, I just think it's a lot of fun.
Maybe that's just me, but I don't know,
computer history's neat.
And it's also just a nice thing
to look at the current situation that we're in
or the future through the lens of the past.
If we don't learn from the past,
then in the future, we're gonna make the same
daggone mistakes over and over and over.
And in terms of a preservation standpoint,
I just think that these things matter
and that future generations are gonna want to know
about where all of these things came from.
And if there's nobody around to talk about it
or keep these historical things alive,
computers and software and the hardware
and the documentation, all this,
then what's the point?
We're just gonna forget about it and then what?
So, it's a combination of things.
But it's all important to me.
Well, that's it for this Q and A video.
I hope that you found something to enjoy here
or some sort of enlightening something or other.
Feel free to discuss the things in the comments
and I don't know, maybe this'll spark some
other questions in the future.
If you've got them, feel free to sign up to Patreon
and ask for that tier.
You don't ask for it, you just sign up for it.
And thanks to everybody who's already on there,
your support means an absolute ton,
as well as everybody else who's here on YouTube
supporting in any number of ways.
Knowing that you all have my back is extremely,
it's just awesome,
especially when things go stupidly wrong,
like data leaks and junk like that.
[laughs]
Everybody's on top of that,
so I appreciate it.
But yeah, going back to making some other LGR things,
upgrading this computer, man.
I've got some different CPUs and ISA cards
and I got a joystick plugged into it now
with a game port and everything in there.
I've got plans, so stick around for them, if you like.
And as always, thank you very much for watching.
