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 project.

I also made a bunch of mistakes that kinda soured the experience and made me realize I'd have to be much more strict about sourcing, vetting, and reviewing every single detail. I hope I'll pick it back up one day, but it doesn't seem likely.

I made a couple of double pendulum videos in 2021 and then walked away. For the first year they got less than 100 views then one suddenly picked up and was getting 10,000 views per day for a few days so I uploaded a few more.

The interest has slowly died down again (500-1000 views per day and decreasing) but I'm now motivated to create more content when I have time.
