LGR - The Gateway Astro PC (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/8xcFhoYoFXE

Greetings, folks! Time for another forgotten relic of the late 90s on LGR. This one is all about the elusive Gateway Astro, a nifty little system from 1999 that was part of the whole post-iMac resurgence in all-in-one computer designs. The thing is even more fascinating than I thought it'd be when I decided to dive into it, I hope you enjoy the watch!

It's also a video that I put a few more days into producing than I normally would since I felt pretty inspired by my surroundings. The environment, lighting, and overall aesthetic is a bit different here and that is entirely on purpose! Behind the scenes I've been constantly building out, adding to, and tweaking my new home and I think it's really starting to come together as a cool place to work and film within. A new workbench, new office, new desks, new lights and such all came together in the past few weeks and this video was my first opportunity to put a lot of it to the test in video form. Hopefully it's not TOO distracting, I kinda couldn't stop testing different spaces and lights! But man was this a fun one to put together as a result, I really felt creatively energized in a way that I haven't in... a couple years to be honest.

Oh and holy nuts, on the topic of years: I could've sworn I picked this machine up like, a year or two ago at most? Nah man, after looking at the original footage I shot for this, I realized that I got it... in 2018. Over four years ago, good grief. In hindsight I'm glad I waited since I would not have done it justice back then. But wow does time fly lately.

Anyway yeah, I hope y'all have fun watching this one. I don't expect it to do gangbusters in terms of views but whatever, I really enjoyed putting this one together. Have a nice week!
