5:48 you know how companies love taking common words that you can't copyright so they just spell it obnoxiously so they can? That's what's happening here, its synergy, spelled stupid on purpose.

Nintendo learned well from Atari’s mistakes though it the tight control of 3rd party developers ended up hurting them come the GameCube era.

2:40 It's just what MGS2 tried to warn us about!

I'm Gen-X. I remember all these systems. Only used a few, never owned them. I still have a Doom version for PC later in late 90's.

Ahhh 3DO Doom very specifically. The unironically best part of that version is the soundtrack, an early success story for an up-and-coming recording artist by the name of Hatsune Miku. I wonder what she's up to now?

I’ve heard of people playing Doom on the most insane and random electronics. There’s many YouTube videos on it!

8:00 You mean a game, even game journalists can play ? Surely you jest !

My mom (53 years old) had the first Atari home game console and and she also played pong. According to her at least

Being early GenX, I cringe hard seeing the late 70s & early 80s commercials. The hair, the pop-punk outfits, the cheesy graphics…. 🤦‍♂️

I remember when Doom 93 came out. I had a friend whose brother had a copy. I remember one day, her 17 yr old brother got caught in a tough spot. He accidentally let out a F bomb. His mom shouted from the kitchen and told him to watch his language

I'm simply trying to provide constructive feedback, so please do not be upset
Get a better mic and/or sound mixing pls
Good content

Your channel is great, but you really need a better mic with more range in the low mids. Your voice sounds very thinned out. Also, thank you for not giving in to the two worst YouTube trends: AI and incessant sound effects.
