Dear Patreons
Surprisingly, getting THEC64 Mini inside the real C64 wasn't the difficult part... the faulty Keyrah adapter I waited 3 months for was. That's the device that converts the C64 keyboard output to a USB input hopefully compatible with the Mini. This project has taken a longer as ...

Before I released my original song "One Of Those Things" at https://youtu.be/LfdCX6EAWQ0 it went through a few iterations, production-wise. One thing I did was add in a "bridge" that was also in the original 1...

Dear Patreons of a certain level!
Here's a video that leads on from the Atari 800XL Extreme Refurb, after which a lot of people asked, "What about those yellow keys?"
Retrobriting yellow lettering on old retro keyboards usually involves removing all the keys with a keycap puller, and in some...

#InstaFact from the album #InstaMental: The song referenced in this comment is "What Can I Do" (1994). I wrote it after a dream about a train station & Ovaltine ☕ Of my 100+ songs this is my best mate's favorite. Don't tell him; he hates Ovaltine 😂 💿 Song: 2018-08-03 02:30:16 +0000 UTC View Post
I started Retro Recipes 6 months ago as a hobby for myself & some retro mates. The response was humbling. Some channels celebrate getting 250,000 subs, but it makes me happy just to know that 2,499 other people like what I like! Thank you so much Patreons! Your friend in retro, Chris aka Թҽ...

Adored Patreons,
Thank you for joining me on the Patreon 'lens' for the recent little #RetroRecipeRoadtrip. I'm now back home in LA-LA-Land and it feels gooood. I'll be getting back onto a more regular schedule with the videos now, and back to the regular content you know and love too. Woohoo!

Hi Patreons! Is a 1997 Star Wars movie retro? What about a 2016 one! 🤔 Well I've arrived in Canada for this sci fi convention. Above is an interview that was just published. For some reason they made a little more of Retro Recipes than my other work! I don't mind 😊 I thought it might be intere...

'Ello Patreons!
As you may have noticed, I keep things fresh by changing my theme tune every 3 months. Today I'm introducing the new theme for Quarter 3, a track called "What Can I Do", written on the Amiga 500 and played on a Korg Wavestation EX!
Here's the current theme tune listing:

Dear Patreons,
I finally found a way to mount my Gotek (running HxC2⚽️⚽️1) USB drive inside my Amiga 5⚽️⚽️, without modifying or damaging the case - something that's important to me.
But does the product score well? 🏆
Will it be 2-0 to the Gotek Mount? 🎉

Dear Patreons,
As some of you may know, I was lucky to be involved in a few Star Wars projects. Whilst it doesn't bring in piles of cash sadly, it was and is a great honour and privilege. As is the fact that once a year I am invited to sci-fi conventions to sign autographs and meet fellow fans!&nb...

Dear Patreons,
I wanted to figure out a way to do live unboxings but still give you early-bird access, then I realized I can do just that. If I go live just for Patreons at the applicable tier, it also offers me the benefit that I can edit the video if my trousers fall down. Then a few days later,...
