And how much of a passion project is it for you?
I do! It’s 12 years old! A mixed bag of video game-related nonsense, and a few video essays about ancient arcade games and their respective legacies. I think it’s cool.
Oh that’s cool! Had a look at the galaxian one and I got a big blast of nostalgia as I had astro wars that you highlighted!
Definitely one of the coolest items in my collection. :)
Oh that’s a beauty. I unfortunately took mine apart after many years and while trying to understand electronics a bit at a young age.
I very clearly remember there being a massive chip inside. Could be the largest one I’ve ever seen tbh unless my memory is playing tricks on me. It was a very long time ago.
Edit: definitely will look at the Donkey Kong one later. Presume you’ve seen the king of Kong?
I have mostly random videos with things I’ve been interested in over the years. I’ve been doing a short a day for over a year now. The shorts are pretty random but surround things that happen on my life.
I love video and live production. I haven’t been able to really do it since college and don’t have time (or equipment) to do consistent long form content; but shorts are easy and fun enough to come up with.
Also a bunch of the shorts involve my cat.
Yes! But like all projects, they die quickly.
One channel for poems, mostly in Norwegian, but the occasional English/German as well Joyce!
Another for teaching Norwegian (in English) Some years old now
My husband does, I think it’s really cool (disclosure: I may be a little biased). He buys random super 8 film canisters on eBay, scans them and uploads them on his channel.

It’s mostly home movies so you get an unedited flavour of the past.
Ok this is so cool and I’m subscribed
I hope he knows he is a hero for not overlaying an obnoxious watermark on the footage.
This channel is great! Thanks for sharing.
Eh they are so frickin’ fantastic! I love it. We have some of those somewhere that were from before my time and we set up a projector once to view them. Must have been 40 years ago or so.
I’m gonna ask my mum tomorrow if we still have them. There have been multiple house moves since so I’m not terribly hopefully bit I’ll let you know.
Subscribed with the bell.
That’s so kind of you! Let me know if you find your reels I’m sure husban-san would love to scan them (and send them back on an SD card if you don’t want them uploaded for the world to see)
That’s very kind of you too! I’m sure my mum would be OK with it after an initial once over. These kind of things have historical importance I feel.
So she got back to me and thinks she still has them. Unfortunately they are buried in an absolutely massive pile of unorganised boxes in my sister’s house box room. I think it would be a full day of effort to go through them tbh and it’s going to be a long time before I have that kind of time available. Life is hectic.
I’ll keep it in mind though. Thanks again. I do appreciate the kindness.
What does he scan them with?
He has a Kodak reels film digitiser (that’s what it says on the machine), it scans the film bit by bit and transfers it on an SD card. It’s kind of loud and annoying lol
I’m not a history buff but I bet my dad would love this channel.

We use to do reviews of shows, but stopped after losing the camera. It was fun. Comments weren’t, but I just ignored them.
That’s a bummer. I find a lot of toxicity in YouTube comments that are just wildly disconnected from my experience with actual humans in the real world.
I think that’s one of the things I really like about Lemmy in that folks will generally respectfully disagree or be kind to each other. Generally.
Mine is definitely a passion project. I make videos on automation using PowerShell. I aim to make videos that teach the thought process and fundamentals and not just step by step tutorials. I’ve been busy moving halfway across the country but plan to start uploading some more once I’m settled in two weeks.
That is a laudable goal. Hard thing to pass on but so valuable. Very best of luck with it.
Thanks! That’s why it takes so long between my videos coming out. That and I have a full time job, 2 kids, coach my daughter’s soccer team, and suck at video editing.

(Also on PeerTube!)I do gameplay (mostly Splatoon), animations, modding and technical explanation of games. I upload weekly because I have too much time.
Does peeertube count?

%100 percent a passion project. It started as an excuse to get peertube up and running. Then to see how federation worked with videos. Finally I now have a lot of subscriptions.
So yeah my dog has a channel. Hes a good boy. And has more subscribers than I have on gotosocial/mastodon. As t should be :)
Hell yes it does. Teddy is beautiful.
I do short beer reviews in French. I am not a great French speaker, and so far I’m still going with a script, so I have no excitement in my voice. It was meant as a joke and it’s sort of intentionally bad. I only have 2 videos. They always get posted to PeerTube first.

I like the originality and appreciate the commitment. 🙏
I have a huge passion project YouTube channel about DIY gardening projects with one video and 3 views from 12 years ago. I’m carefully cultivating my viewers to give a sense of elitism with my rare drops.
You know, you could up your viewership by at least 33% by posting a link ;)
Yes, I’m a musician whose dream is to open a donations based label and cover a different genre every album.
My channel is currently more popular because of my theories. I have a big One Piece theory, a Deltarune theory, and will eventually release a Cosmere theory.
I do, but I don’t run it as a regular channel. I use it to post the creative stuff I do like music, animations, or some art stuff.
I run a PeerTube channel [email protected] but luck of time makes it difficult to record and especially edit videos for it so it’s very slow. But it’s 100% a passion project because there is nothing else driving it than my passion of sharing the idea behind PeerTube.
nice! I went ahead and added it to https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos as part of the feed. I love the channel as its helped me out on my instance a couple of times.
I get a broken link with that. Can you double check the URL.
lemmy.world has some issues with federation.
You can see it on other instances such as: https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]
Thank you!
I started making gaming guide and play videos a couple of years ago.
It something I always wanted to do. Gaming is a passion and enjoying help others learn.
Living out one my many dreams.
I have one, currently it’s mostly just a VOD archive for my streams but I’m working on something now to do some more scripted 10-15 minute retrospective type thing.
It’s completely a passion project, I don’t expect to get popular or anything. I just love playing games and streaming them so I can share my single player experience with others!
