Randomly looking around wplace, and lo and behold there's a trans flag near where I grew up??

I want to be their friend
A screenshot of wplace showing the region around Topsail Beach in Newfoundland, Canada. Pixel art includes Ramona Flowers from the Scott Pilgrim video game, Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, Night in the Woods headshots, Kingdra from Pokémon, Misako from Retro City Girls, a transgender flag, a bisexual flag, one each of a brown, green, and purple heart, and some incomplete artwork. Visible text reads "I NEED FRIENDS", "I AM FRIEND", "YURI", "Hi", "Leon", and "UwU"

NEW VIDEO: How a simple mistake ruined my new PC (and my YouTube channel)
A close-up photograph of a CPU socket, showing the LGA pins. The pins appear straight and normal. Just above them is pixelated white text with a red shadow, reading "Please no..."

Today in pointless knowledge: Via 86box, Windows 95 can achieve very high refresh rates, but at least in this configuration it taps out at 1,238 Hz. I can specify higher, but it won't actually switch to it.
A screenshot of a plain Windows 95 desktop, showing the Advanced Display Properties dialog window. The refresh rate list is expanded, with "1238 Hz" highlighted by the mouse. The display adapter is listed as a Voodoo3 PCI.

Honestly the most amazing thing about the Canadian election is that non-Canadians actually lost sleep waiting to see if PP would lose his seat.

Which he then did.
A screenshot from cbc.ca depicting 2025 Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre. Beneath his profile is a red circle with an X inside it, labelled "Defeated". Beneath this, the margin of loss in his riding of Carleton was 4.6 points, or 3,837 votes.

I'm here. And so are you.

Happy #TDOV2025! Hope you all had a good one, all things considered!

So... This is what's been going on the past little bit. If you're in the Discord, you know that it's pretty much been resolved now, but I've had to adjust plans for the new workstation build video, and also a video about the things that led me to this tragedy.
A magnification photo of an AMD LGA socket, showing many uniform metallic triangular shaped pins in a grid. In the centre of the image is a large number of pins that are no longer uniform, and some are folded in on themselves.

Still screaming about this branding
A promotional image taken from Nintendo's press site. On the left is a wordmark and logo for Nintendo Switch 2, featuring two stylized Joycons similar in shape to the Switch, followed by an equally-sized number 2. On the right is a render of a Nintendo Switch 2 console in its dock; In front of it are the new JoyCons showing connectivity to a new base, with the large "2" being the primary visible feature. At the rear is what appears to be a TV screen, showing a blue-green to violet gradient bokeh effect.

Feels weird going through all these old videos getting footage for editing... First of all seeing me so large, but also just... Memories.
