I like this guy. If you're into retro computing, Ben Eater, who was mentioned in this video, has an awesome channel too: one of his video series involves making a computer from scratch on a breadboard using one of these bad boys (65c02, I think)

8-bit guy is a politically-active gun-nut, and apparently also just a rather unpleasant creep. Take it for what you will.

For what it’s worth, he quit the worst of his gun-nuttery once he realized how insane every one else who was into that scene was. He posted a mea culpa video the last time everything blew up.
Not saying you have to like him or agree with his views but he did change his mind about a lot of things.

He doesn’t bring politics into his videos but he knows his shit and contributes enough to the retroscene with Active development.
I appreciate that much of him at least
