I love going out with my airsoft gun and being harmless and benign; just as harmless and benign as today's sponsor, nordvpn

IIRC it was recorded on an HTC Evo 3D back during that hot minute around 2010 when it looked like 3D would be the next big smartphone gimmick.

Yeah I mean, I found out about the gun poo poo later, the first thing that tipped me off was that he did a studio build video and was like "my electrician looked like Morgan Freeman!" because he was an older black dude.

It's a split opinion in the retro community, some people have said Retrobrite makes plastic more brittle and prone to yellowing even more while others have said so what I only need it to look good for 30 seconds of footage in a Youtube video.

It's mainly UV light that causes the yellowing right? If you're going to store it carefully and out of sunlight it kind of makes sense. If you plan to actively use it rather than have it as a conversation piece the brittleness could be a problem, and if you're going to use it or have it in a sunlit room, definitely don't bother.

I don’t know what the standards are in the retro electronics community but pretty much every other antique/retro thing community considers restoration like this destructive and the original condition pieces to be worth more.

And yeah, it's absolutely part of the appeal; just look at any European town with copper roofs - heck, it's even a thing in some parts of Usania, and the Statue of Liberty is famous for it.

In the case of the SNES, the plastic and flame retardant in the plastic oxidizes with exposure to air. More details: http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189

RetroBytes chose to paint over his yellowed amiga 500 and i kind of agree with that especially if it's something you're going to use regularly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCv9wbQwgHU

Please watch this video about the science of retrobrite and common myths/explanations for things. Retrobriting is just bleaching, if you use good technique (like vapor chambers with minimal heat) you won’t get marbling and it won’t make things more brittle than they already are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPl356YKcVs

Before being aware he was a gun weird, I gave up on 8 bit guy because EVERY VIDEO had about 40% of it devoted to the retrobriting process. Like, we know dude, you put them in the stuff, you put the tubs on your driveway because you're in texas and there's sunshine, you rinse the stuff off, I don't need to see it in full every time you get a new device in your collection.

There's a subset of people who watch retro tech channels for something kind of like ASMR - the footage/process of retrobriting or recapping a board is a calming, important part of a video to them. I wouldn't be surprised if 8bitguy was appealing to that crowd.

That was also before his more chuddy aspects were more well-known, mind you.

LGR, RMC, Techmoan and even guys like Perifractic are way easier to listen to if that's what people are after. Originally he was just one of only a few prominent guys doing this stuff but the space has been comfortably filled by loads of people doing it better and without breaking rare prototypes.
