Mixed media narrative of travels through fifty years in tech, media and gaming. From vinyl to digital. From Pong to Starfield. From ZX80 to RTX4070. Buying it, learning it, making it, playing it, teaching it, selling it. All documented for the first time in this, my first foray into streaming.
Welcome one and all. As you may have realised by now I’m just starting out with streaming, but I’ve been gaming for near on 50 years. Which makes me… old!
As you get older you start to think about winding down and retirement… wouldn’t it be great if you could play games all day and fiddle with tech? That’s my aim and you join me at the start of that late life journey. Fortunately our family business is all about buying all sorts of old stuff and shipping it all over the world so its a great excuse for me to shift slightly towards the stuff that interests me personally via this channel.
My first aim in the Spring / Summer of 2025 is to create a shed load of content and get to grips with creating good quality streams. Then build up a bit of a community which I hope will be encouraged to get on board as I complete aim one. My first major obstacle is internet connection. Here in rural France I am relying on 5G which is intermittant at best and lame if the rest of the family are around. I’ve done a handful of 2-3 hour streams now where I have only realised at the end that they had failed. So you may find me streaming before anyone gets up at 0500 and you might find me streaming at 1700 if I have managed to chuck them out of the house for a while. No regular guaranteed timetable as of yet. They are doing the groundwork right outside for fibre though… Fingers crossed.
Don’t be expecting outstanding gameplay, thats for all you youngsters. Remember I have a great excuse for slow reactions, poor comprehension of control interfaces and a generally slow approach to gaming as my mental faculties decline. Hey, it’s coming to you all! I do enjoy a bit of mickey taking and banter though so don’t be afraid to openly laugh with me and at me. I have a thick skin!
I’m now starting to drag the youngest offspring in and I’m pleased to announce the inclusion of my elder daughters new gaming streams here as they are released (Twitch: kishrx You Tube: kishrx. I hope to include some of my other offspring at a later point in collaborations. Maybe even some of their own mini-thems. We have a big family!
The HD stuff is all on You Tube along with all the content which failed to stream: https://www.youtube.com/gramepa
Thanks for the interest.
Peaceful unlearning.
