How the Game Boy ᵃˡᵐᵒˢᵗ ruined Nintendo
I go on Nebula. I'm logged in. I search for "sidequest". None of your videos shows up. This is a problem.
6:43 I JUST NEED 10.000.000 DOLLARS DO IT
Why do you transpose the sounds of J and Y? Look it up, you have it backwards. Many languages use the Y sound for J (English is not one of them), but I am not aware of any that use the J sound for Y (you did this a lot in the Game Boy Pocket video).
Great video
People confuse Indians with Mexicans, they think they are being invaded by Mexicans, in fact there are millions more Indians, it’s just that most people can’t distinguish, they just see colour, even Indians get confused, this way they have the southern border narrative as a distraction
yay, finally someone telling the story correctly <3
Didn’t this guy use to make tutorials vow to run games on low end systems? Fell off hard
Early Sierra quests pretty much taught me English reading and writing, and typing. I actually owe them a lot.
what kind of english is this?
Steve Jobs did do anything. He just was good at marketing advertising and convincing people they need to spend 4 times more $ for the same machine. ANd humans love to be ripped off. All the same 0's. Oh and he stole the work of open source and used it to build a closed tyrannical system, so incidious, people wouldn't care the the humans that made the Apple were labor slaves, in such dispair, they throw themselves off the roof of the factory to end it. Pretended that he invented the mouse. An engineer at Xerox invented the mouse in the 1960s. Steve Jobs was a cruel psychopath. And thats what humans reward.
FIND ME THE DRIVE JOHN! LOL XD
12:48 POLAND MENTIONED - WROCLAW !!!
this was such an interesting story
i knew that i heard this voice before. I used to watch your videos when I had a crappy computer, your videos helped me play games that i could never before. altho the experience of the game was bad, to say the least, it helped me make some good memories.
Is that thumbnail both a Mario but also a JOJO reference!? Il Vento D’oro!
قصص عالم الكومبيوتر شي حلو
Bro no hate but this is just stupid
Acorn was chosen because on the Yellow Pages, Acorn came before Apple.
Their mission was to beat Clive Sinclair and win the race to become the supplier of the BBC Micro! Also ... amateurs ... well, they did build the first electronic computer in History - the Colossus.
I love firewire. Collecting old macs it is great to just hook one mac to another to install operating systems and moving files.
Even stronger than the fabled IBM5100?? The organization might be interested
Awesome videos man
i indeed have a synaptics product
Back in the 70s you could sell your car to start a business. Now you have to sell the car, mortgage the house, and have a parent with a lot of money, and you still need a loan
Couldn't figure out how somebody ended up somewhere, books a flight, finds the person and just asks them. This is the kind of documentary making that I love.
apple shoulda went banckrupt in 1997
Anyone know which game the song at 4:06 is from? It's familiar but I just can't place it
Thought, 'oh, I haven't heard of Sophie Wilson, you don't really hear about women involved in early computing much, I'll Google her' ...Ohhh.
in a way nintendo switch is basically the gameboy advance successor that project iris was meant to be.
This video is a lie. The 70s was an inside job. Hippies don't melt steel beams.
Alot of creators complain and blame the algorithm. It's encouraging to see a adapt attitude. Also I've watched a number of your lore videos and they are on par with bobbybroccolli, asianometry, rare earth, tom scott, or technology connections. In story telling and entertainment value. Keep going! I could name alot more, they and you would deserve it. But I think my point was well made.
Great! Fantastic history,
Interesting story, guess you how you become monopoly with simply superior product. I mean i dropped a laptop i bought in 2007 to swimming pool same year. Salvaged the parts and bloody touchpad survived. Kudos.
or high spec lol
And the American launch. $299. 😂
What's the terminal that appears at 17:46? It looks like an IBM 2260, but the keyboard has too many keys. It's also not the sucessor, the 2265. Any clues? The font that appears right after looks a lot like the one on the 3270 series.
Totally get it but, i believe you can focus your target in reviews of performance in games , not that much in tweaking the "untweakable" :) Love your style to describe, and analize perfomance. I believe you can do it mate :). Gaming is more alive than ever! i totally support you!
Hi dear. I understand the change of path in your videos, trying to cover more in deep story, fun facts, and pc and videogame trivia. But i advice you to reconsider, the channel is called "lowspecgamer" . This should be your target. I remember the video were you explained why decided to change as "low spec gaming isnt relevant anymore". Nothing far from true, as the low spec is more alive than ever, with the sucess of the Mini Pcs and ryzen / intel igpus!! Im an owner of those myself and enjoy checking if x game fun and how it runs with my portable configuration. Its a crowded space , i get it, and it requires more effort and being outstanding to gain visibility, but i truly believe your videos were special. An yway, good luck with the channel, im seeing its a bit "abandoned". Hope you revive it! Regards.
I mean yeah they did steal it, but they did change it up a bit so it wasn't EXACTLY the same
