Used to post Retro PC stuff at my old twitter account @albpro then in @Black92RS74 also at Youtube as RetroTinkerer (I'm deleting all my content from both accounts in Twitter)
Pinned
I want to continue a thread I started "a while ago" at Twitter with some of the smallest and underrated youtubers I follow thanks to my passion, the retro computing world, with no particular order off course.
Please let me know about your favourite small and unknown channels:

Talked about the Medion ATI Radeon 9800 XXL (OEM product produced by MSI for Aldi) recently, and here we can see: MSI combined a regular 9800 XT GPU with 128 MB of 2.8 ns Hynix BGA memory, then underclocked it to practically 9800 Pro clocks.
The cooler looks beefy but consists of ceramic I believe.

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

YES, this is a gorgeous movie and a reminder to all of us in comics that you can push your colors harder. I tell my students honestly weekly--don't be afraid to color the way a character feels instead of whatever the local color is. EVERY ELEMENT can help communicate story, dirtbags! EVERYYYYY
Ran (1985)
Akira Kurosawa's epic retelling of Shakespeare's King Lear. A warlord's crimes come back to haunt him at the end of his life as he watches his family devour itself.
Hang every shot of this movie in the Louvre!

My reconstruction of the German #BackToTheFuture logo. In my opinion, a stunningly good localization of one of the greatest movie logos ever. With a bit of luck on their side, they were able tp keep the connected CK and the arrow poking the K.

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!
It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.
This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!
Artists! Drop your shop links!

Let’s also not forget that Nakadai was the first guy who got to gush an absolute geyser of blood in a samurai movie, a happy accident that became a trope.
