Patreon Exclusive Audio Oddcast July 2021

Great video... as per usual, Matt. If history were taught like this (replace the blu-ray with Northumbria and shopoverseas.com with the Duke of Northampton) then I'd have done much better in my "O" levels!

With no vertical scrolling on a large vertically mounted TV and having a high frame rate brings virtual pinball nearer to the genuine article. But if you’ve got the money and room you’re right nothing beats a real pin.

Once again your mention of your love of pinball made the ears of a fellow pinball enthusiast's 'prick up'. You had a bad experience with a virtual pinball table, android based one I would imagine? Have you ever tried Pinball FX 3? The switch version features a 'Tate' mode that allows you to rotate the screen and play on a tv, vertically. It runs at a smooth 60FPS. It may just scratch that pinball itch and wash away the poor taste left by your pervious virtual pinball experience. It is a free download and includes a free table with other tables to buy. They have even included some recreations of real world tables from Bally/Williams. Give it a go Mat, I think you will be impressed.

When I was about ten my dad got me a free digital watch from the petrol station, after so many vouchers collected. I wore it for a week and the sweat reacted with the back of the watch and it really reacted and damaged my skin. I still have the scar forty years later. Watch still worked though! In this day and age they'd be out of business after

I personally think our friendly host looks a bit like Kashoggi. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/18/nso-spyware-used-to-target-family-of-jamal-khashoggi-leaked-data-shows-saudis-pegasus?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other But it could just be me. ;-)

I think a short video about that watch would be great! A quick low-effort "Short Moan" video about the much-loved toy, the decades-long occasional search, and then finding it (just as you've already said it), has broad appeal. Cheap sentimentality, but also, real. There's a lot of nostalgia value in lost toys. and a lot of curiosity value in rare games. ...or at least I think so, I don't know how many others would agree. I like your stuff and even your hour-long podcasts :-)

We love these chat videos, please don't think we switch off we don't. Your skills are so transferable but never worry we have your back and will carry on on the patreon that's a promise 👍🏻👍🏻

Oh, golly, I think you are a swell chap and I do enjoy your work. I am sure you have MANY skills. For instance, you can organize thoughts and present them efficiently. So, thank you for that.

Youtube is up to shenanigans once again, wasn't notified of your last 2 videos. After considering this blog and watching the tape machine video I've got to say that I prefer your live audio over videos in which the audio is narrated in post. It feels a bit more conversational and alive. As an example, when you run into difficulties you sigh differently and your speech patterns are more of the moment and less narrative. Since you mentioned that recording live saves you time I would consider that a bonus. Until next time, Kaitlyn from America

May I add a special "patron" mention for.... Markus Klein & SID Chip Club I've been doing A LOT of catching up... Times & Dates mean nothing to me. I've been listening to Seeburg Industrial "background" music all night, 12hr night shift, sony A45/50 & brass buds... With your tip for volume limiter removal added, & Mr Walkman firmware tweek 👍 All of which, you got me onto... Said it before & i will try not to say it again, too many times, but... Thanks for the time you have taken & the pleasure you have given. All.... Great, but as, primarily a music, audio lover.... I have found great inspiration for searching, after hearing a "snippet" on a deck or table of yours... (Soul Slabs v1 & v2) Awesome, simply awesome 👌
