If shameless self-promotions are okay:

!source_ports@lemmy.sdf.org - Source ports for retro PC games, that allow them to run on different OSs, and/or with updated "modern" features and quality of life additions
!laserdisc@lemmy.sdf.org - Anything LaserDisc related. I have a huge collection, and love preservation efforts.

I'm always open to right-hand info link exchanges with other similar communities, as well.

So are you a film junkie or into quirky tech?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd be reluctant to claim to be a film connoisseur, but I am a film lover.

I am however very, very into retro tech and media collection, and preservation.

Do you know Techmoan?

He’s gone subscription now, but his old content is still available.

I used to watch this guy's stuff religiously back in the day. Today, not so much, but I still check out his stuff every once in a while.

Did you find him while you were looking for a dash cam?

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

No.

I found him randomly on YouTube when he made a video about a very specific Discman model that is too small to house full size CDs, but still plays them just fine. Since then I decided to check out his other stuff, and became a fan.
