Fun fact: I almost wrote the audio driver for his MS-DOS game. Maybe I'll still write one, but for a different project (and one that is primarily for the OPL2/3 instead of Tandy Audio with optional FM support).

Such a surprise that the guy who also ran a gun channel turned into a delusional AI booster. It's always the people you least expect!

    I should probably already know the answer to this, but who is he?

    Huh. Thanks. His "usual" content seems right up my alley, but surprisingly I'm pretty sure this is the first I've heard of him.

    For the uninitiated, this is definitely not a good time to start watching him, though. From what I'm seeing, it appears he's falling into AI psychosis. He swears he'll be "back to his regular content" soon, but I've seen enough promises like that broken to be skeptical of this one.

    Less nostalgia is a good thing.

    He thinks LLMs are self-conscious.

    I watched most of his stuff until a few years ago he made some video where he whined about viewers and started talking down to the viewers.

    Given I'm assuming plus the text this is referring David:

    Wait, so he outsources programming on his games? I thought he made it out like he was the one doing all the coding on those projects, and just got artists to help him out with the images and sound

    Does he still have a troll-boner for Shannon Watts (who lost her child in a school shooting) from Moms Demand Action? Or is he just busting up rare computers and whining about how other retro tech channels "stole" his viewers?
