About

I am, in fact, not a pitbull x border collie. I am a human male. I make YouTube videos about nerdy things. I get very excited about the things, you get excited about the things, you buy the things... Capitalism!

Nerdy things, excitedly explained.

AYN Thor Simple Setup Guide

RetroGaming · 29 Oct 2025

This is a very simple setup guide of the things I have prioritised for the AYN Thor. Some of these emulators are new and things could change at any time, so please check when this video was made at the time of viewing and see if anything new has surfaced on the retro emulation scene to make the Thor and any other Android dual screen device better. I have said that this is what I have prioritised but there's a lot here. Perhaps start here and then if there's still something you feel is missing, you can google that later. I just find this is a bit of a rabbit hole and you may be left overwhelmed if you set out to do an exhaustive set up of your emulation machine, so much so that some people have commented to say they have given up and sold their device! I don't want that to happen to you, so let's take this step by step and get you going nicely.

The best DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for me

Side Projects · 27 Feb 2025

I'm not a full-time music producer. In fact, I am actually a full-time content creator who used to write a lot of songs. So, from time to time I will write songs again, and I want to record them. The last time I recorded songs I used Garageband for my iPad but while it has some great tools, it is very limited for a full production of a song. So, this post is about all the DAW's I tried, and which one ended up being best for me. Hopefully, by explaining my needs here in the beginning, it will help you decide if this journey will help you out in finding the right DAW for you. Oh... I started out wanting a free DAW but in the end, I actually will be buying the PRO version of the one I tried, and I think if I had to choose from the other professional DAW's I would probably still have chosen this one.
