I solder stuff, like to code and play around with electronics. Also I play old video games, mostly MS-DOS on my 286 or 386 PC, sometimes on my SEGA Genesis/MegaDrive. I try to use real hardware wherever possible.

New videos posted roughly every weekend.

New video for Patrons: Rainbow Surf Analysis. I dissect the winning entry of the 256 byte compo of this year's Revision demoparty. The winning entry was only 16(!) bytes long! So how could it do what it did? See my Patreon page for details!
