Micro SD Card VS. Water / Salt Water / Vinegar / Acetone / Coca Cola
Are Micro SD cards resitant to Water? Salt Water? Vinegar? Acetone? Coca Cola? In this video I'm trying to find this out.
As you might've seen sometimes, there are ads on some MicroSD cards like "Waterproof!!!". This is what gave me the idea originally to test a micro SD card Vs. water.
Will these 64GB micro SD Cards survive their tests or will they crumble? Find out by watching the video!

Flame and Fry: The Unexpected Resilience of Micro SD Cards
This video continues my look into the durability of Micro SD Cards against the elements. In this second video I explore the element of heat and fire. The Micro SD Cards have been heated in an air fryer at 75C, 100C, 125C, 150C, 175C, 200C and held directly into an open flame.
The results were not what I expected to be honest, but to find them out you just need to watch!

Cheap PlayStation 2 HDMI solution with comparison | PS2 TO HDMI vs. AV2HDMI
It's always hard to hook up an old game console to a modern TV. This is especially true with older 3D game consoles such as the PS2. Over the years there have been many mods that most of the time provide HDMI. These are expensive and often require the user to solder them in themselves.
The only remaining option remaining then (besides emulation ofc.) is to use the existing AV out port. This often leads to products such as these AV2HDMI boxes one can plug the AV cables into and the result is ok, however a while ago I got my hands on a so called "PS2 TO HDMI". It might not be the best, but for the cheap price it delivers above expectations. Watch this comparison to see a common AV2HDMI box compared to the PS2 TO HDMI dongle!

I bought a Nintendo DSi in 2023 for $21
Nintendo launched the Nintendo DS in 2004 and found instant success with their newly released handheld. Four years later in late 2008 they released their second revision called the DSi which now boasted a better CPU, more RAM, two cameras and expandable storage up to 32GB!
15 years later in 2023 it is but a relic, slowly fading into the past only becoming part of ones own memory. But can the DSi make a comeback? Thanks to homebrew it can! The DS library is vast and has plenty of gems sprinkled throughout. Added to that you have the libraries of days gone past accessible through emulation that work surprisingly well!

HP Compaq nc6120 compared to the RS90
Emulation has been a staple for years, but it has come into the public consciousness with the dawn of cheap emulation devices. But do you even need to buy one of them? Couldn't you just go and grab Grandma's old notebook she used to fill out her taxes? Well in this video I am testing this!
It's the battle of the RS90/Retromini vs. a HP Compaq nc6120 from 2005! Let's just assume that Grandma was a bit tech savy and upgraded it a bit. A blazing fast Intel Pentium M 2.13GHz, a whopping 2GB of RAM and a 0RPM IDE drive that uses flash technology!
Is it time to toss everything else out? Maybe!

Having a look at the $23 Retromini / RS90 from AliExpress
In this video I take a look at the Retromini which is also known as the RS90. The Retromini looks like a Game Boy Pocket and is supposed to play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA and SEGA.
Despite it's claims it only plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color through Goomba on the Game Boy Advance which adds a further emulation layer to the entire system. This does not help the already bad performance.
If you want an emulation handheld there are plenty better ways to go. Be it spending more on a better handheld or buying a controller for your phone.
But if you want to buy it after all. Here's a link to it:

Retromini almost redeems itself with Custom FirmWare... sadly it falls short
In this video I take a look again at the Retromini which is also known as the RS90. The Retromini looks like a Game Boy Pocket and is supposed to play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA and SEGA, but it wasn't really good at that. Now thanks to custom firmware it is able to play some games better than before such as the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. It also got a bunch of more features and got quite a boost in raw potential which it sadly can't realize.
As with other cheap Handheld Game Consoles from AliExpress you try to find the golden egg that can be a great companion and you won't mind if it breaks while you are on a hike or something, but even with the current community effort it is not enough

Three Cheap AliExpress SSDs: Are they trash?
In one of my previous videos I looked at a bunch of cheap Micro SD Cards where most of them turned out very well. This time I look at a couple of SSDs and compare them to the cheapest comparable SSD from my country and a 7200RPM HDD.
For me it's every so often an Issue, that I get asked to "Make my PC faster". And one of the first steps is to replace the HDD with an SSD. However telling people that the parts cost ~20$ already sours the mood, thus I looked at these SSDs to see if they are a good alternative. And they indeed are.

Game Boy Pocket IPS Kit | Is it worth it?
The Game Boy Pocket is a fantastic handheld gaming console from Nintendo with many classics available such as Pokemon. However in retrospect the display on the Game Boy is just not that great. Thankfully there are display mods to alleviate this problem! However there are also straight up alternatives which might be more viable if all you want is to play your favorite childhood game.
I personally am torn about it, but will go over the IPS kit from FunnyPlaying which I used and mention some alternatives.

Family Pocket / 16-bit pocket | Quick look and speaker FIX
In this video I take a quick look at the $25 Family Pocket a.k.a. 16-bit Pocket.
A little handheld I got from AliExpress. While I'm at it I had an idea to replace the stock speaker and actually improved it. With this both the game and sound emulation are actually good and the only big problem with this handheld is the screen.

Game Boy Micro battery comparison + time-lapse | OEM vs. AliExpress vs. Mahko
Welcome to this little video of mine, where I compare the three different batteries for the Nintendo Game Boy Micro. I compare the OEM vs an AliExpress one vs. the Mahko battery. The Results were quite something. The Mahko battery far exceeded my expectation, however I did not expect the OEM battery to have such vast differences between the tests.

In this video I show the process of ripping DVDs and BluRays with MakeMKV and then reduce their filesize by encoding them from H.264 to H.265 a.k.a. HEVC with FFMPEG. After testing some flags in FFMPEG I have found a command, which works well to both preserve video quality and reduce the filesize.
The DVD which I use in this video is the movie "Eden Log" and the BluRay I use is "Your Name" a.k.a. "Kimi no Na wa"
The command: ffmpeg -i {input} -c:v libx265 -crf 19 -x265-params bframes=8:psy-rd=1:aq-mode=3:aq-strength=0.8:deblock=1,1 -preset slow {output}
Please be aware, that you need FFMPEG installed for this to work. It is very likely not part of your OS

▬▬ι══ Script ══ι▬▬
Impaler could be described as Doom meets Vampire Survivor or in other terms. It's a wave based FPS with a retro look.
The game has a very simple loop. You start a wave, fight a bunch of enemies (which drop money) and complete a side objective to earn a bit more, claim your reward at the end which is either health or 10 coins if you are fully healed and finally start the next wave which before it starts shows you a choice of two upgrades you can buy.
The game has a total of 52 upgrades and 8 primary weapons, which are:
- The Perforator. A little sub machine gun which you can use from the start.
- The Harvester. A Shotgun, which has bullets that ricochet after their initial impact. These bullets however don't seem to do much and the fire rate and damage are lacking.
- The Gustav. A rocket launcher like you will find in doom, quake or other FPS. However rocket jumping is not recommended. It's strong and has a decent fire rate. Overall I would declare it the best weapon. It does have splash damage, but that is really not too hard to avoid.
- The Plasmatech 3000 is a plasma rifle which you get after a total of 1000 kills. It's fast, deals a good amount of damage and has little spread. Overall it's a good choice.
- The Shredder. It looks like an AR and it's name implies it being akin to something like the PPSH from CoD. However it fires slowly and has to cool down after only 8 or 9 shots. I fail to see how it is any different than the Plasmatech.
- The AC 50 is my second favorite weapon. I belive it is supposed to be a railgun. It fires 4 shots quite quickly, deals good damage and is very precise.
- The Boomstick has the look of an iconic weapon and deals damage accordingly, but it simply feels like a reskin of the AC 50 with worse precision.
- The Torment's Edge is a sword that fires 5 projectiles in a horizontal line and is the only weapon that pulls you forward rather than pushing you backwards. It also deals more damage if an enemy is closer to your swing (It could also just be that more of the projectilrs hit when you are closer).
Last up is your secondary weapon. A staff that summons spikes from the ground impaling your enemies. The spikes are a fine weapon that are summoned quite quickly, but fail to reach or even damage some enemies.
Primary weapons are only used for damage, but any secondary damage. Be it your spikes, a saw on the ground, explosions, etc. will prompt enemies to also drop health, which is a crucial component to a successful run.
Impaler presents you with a handful of enemy types. Melee types that attack you from close up, shooting types and stationary types. Later on rather than getting new enemies you just get larger ones, which are stronger, but other than their size have barely any differences.
The Stage is one elongated room which starts of empty, but gains various obstacles the further you get, which gives the player new ways to hide from enemies and missuse them to their advantage. Such as using pillars to wall jump high into the air to do stomping attacks.
The soundtrack is nice and reminds me a little of castlevania. It is however nothing ground breaking and could use some spice or mix ups based on factors like current health, weapon, wave, etc.
Impaler is all in all a simple game that does not insare its player into playing it for hours to get anywhere. The rounds are fairly quick and an entire Run shouldn't take too long either. It also helps that the price isn't too steep.
The Various choices of upgrades allows the player to alter a run slightly which gives the game a slight strategic edge.
However there are a bunch of things I personally have to criticize:
All the weapons use the "overheating" system, rather than reloading or just firing forever. This is a good idea, but it's done very poorly. Every weapon overheats too quickly and rather than having a satisfying reload animation, you wait for a bar to deplete. It doesn't help that the weapon animations themselves are non-existent, which makes them not only feel weak, but also makes them look weak.
The stage itself is rather boring and the obstacles are nice, but don't help with the stage feeling flat.
