The game project has gone quite the distance from everything being quickly sketched sprites + checkerboard textures, to everything being shiny & polished, and running cross-platform on PC and consoles.
I do web developer tutorials and showcase incredible web portfolios built in threejs and WebGL. Mostly a webdev focused channel :)
I started a series on how the Game Boy works a few years ago while I wasn't working. I posted the first episode on r/videos and it was unexpectedly successful, so I rushed to buy a better microphone and got to work on the second video. Then I went back to work and realized that I just couldn't keep it up. The amount of effort it took to write, record, edit, and fully animate the episodes was just too much for a side…
Not tech related, but I document the lives of the two Tokay Geckos (male and female, plus now two babies that aren't on the videos yet) living between my outside sofa and house wall in Thailand.
The male gecko came to live there, I had a terrible leftover camera from some other things with like 720p/15fps, stuck it there, put a few videos online. Came back months later expecting to have a handful of views and one of them had like 120k at that point :P
Their life is quite interesting, I've had a lot of fun following them but I've been stupid with the cameras. So far I've ordered three cheap no brand cameras just for this, none of them have been as the specs promised, and the best one broke down some weeks ago. Getting a brand name one soon and hopefully the quality will be much better. Plus I'm not happy that I seem to get most stable views with shorts so I'm kinda torn between posting the videos I'd like to see and videos others apparently prefer.
Car and motorcycle restoration projects - mostly my wife and I restoring a 1993 Toyota MR2

Retro computer projects, so far fixing up a cheap Pentium II system, but I’ve got older systems planned

I’m an “old school” coder. I don’t use a lot of frameworks. Lots of my first projects are Go command line tools.
Turns out this was a super fast way to grow, but I decided to change directions as I didn't want to become an interview prep channel. Unlisted most of my videos and started fresh in early 2021. (You can still find them on a playlist on my channel.)
From then I made videos focusing on tech I was interested in like Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, React, TypeScript, VS Code, and Vim! Late 2021, I stumbled upon Three.js and graphics programming and that's the main focus of my channel now. My latest video was a tutorial on the Phong lighting method.

It's a channel where I showcase 3D WebGL works and tutorials made with Polygonjs[0], a design tool I created.
