    I like this guy. If you’re into retro computing, Ben Eater, who was mentioned in this video, has an awesome channel too: one of his video series involves making a computer from scratch on a breadboard using one of these bad boys (65c02, I think)

      8-bit guy is a politically-active gun-nut, and apparently also just a rather unpleasant creep. Take it for what you will.

        For what it’s worth, he quit the worst of his gun-nuttery once he realized how insane every one else who was into that scene was, and when the school shootings really took off. He posted a mea culpa video the last time everything blew up explaining how he left those politically active groups.

        Not saying you have to like him or agree with his views but he did change his mind about a lot of things.

        He doesn’t bring politics into his videos but he knows his shit and contributes enough to the retroscene with Active development.

        I appreciate that much of him at least
