Not sure how long it's been a thing, but one thing I'm liking about the Vivaldi browser is the ability to have 2 tabs in 1 window.
I normally put 2 separate windows next to each other, now I don't have to when I watch 2 YouTube videos at the same time!
(Perspectives of people playing together)
Blues... On a Saturday... 3pm kick off?
It's been a while!
"Reform UK announced plans requiring all England schools to fly the Union Flag daily"
I asked 2 different AI clients to show me a typical American classroom.
See the common denominator?!
I'm officially getting old.
I've increased the text on my laptop to 150% because I'm too lazy to squint at the screen.
I mean, it's a Full HD 17.3" screen, so you see where I'm coming from... (pun unintended)
ProTip: How long ago did you last have a protein drink from your shaker?
Did you remember to wash out the shaker after drinking?
Don't be like me and forget there was a little bit in the shaker for a few months...
Lost track of time and made it just in time for kick off!
Blues v QPR
A third episode of Dumi's Adventure: Across Europe has been uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
I drive back from Valencia and the traffic gets rather interesting...
Editing videos is weird.
I can use the h264_amf codec which takes a while, but file size is good.
If I use the h264_nvenc codec, processing is quicker, but the file size is a bit bigger...
Is it just me or is YouTube being crap lately?
Some videos being slightly out of sync and it's taking forever to process a video to replace some audio, like over 12 hours and it's still 'taking longer than expected'...
Not particularly looking forward to going to the footy and then work afterwards with Dave kicking up a storm out there...
I finally sorted out how to edit the Retro Rewind videos I recorded without my voice and added them as a montage onto the front of the lastest episode.
We experience Valentines Day in Winter...
I guess the cooking instructions aren't the most important thing for ItalPizza...
Well I uploaded a video, but some music I added at the end which was supposed to be royalty/copyright free was claimed.
So I tried to get YouTube to replace the audio with something from the library, but it was in a perpetual state of being processed.
I've now re-uploaded the video and actually cut about another 5 minutes out, so it's just under 25 minutes now which is good, because it's a bit of a filler episode...
More Retro Rewind episodes uploaded.
I'm not expecting to get loads of views or even make it big, I just like to share my gameplay with anyone who wants to watch.
Playlist is here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLekfvjEikKmRBqu9s0T51X4Cqk3onZ0vq
I don't usually buy brand new games so close after release, but Retro Rewind is just too good!
The quest for the best.
Best free open source video editior? Hm, maybe...
You get some people celebrating 5, 6, 8 years on #YouTube and I'm just casually here like...
What's this.. a blog?
It's been a while in all sorts of ways for all sorts of things and reasons.
New blog post - https://www.mgaceman.uk/2026/03/be-kind-rewind.html
New video uploaded of Dumi's Adventure where I drive to Valencia.
A supposedly smooth drive turns into the usual shenanigans...
New video of Dumi's Adventure: Across Europe.
As much as I'm enjoying the game, I find myself making things worser than they are...
It's been a little while since I recorded something due to feeling a bit meh this past week, turns out I have a chesty cold.
Dumi's Adventure: Across Europe demo got an update, so I played it!
I wanted to upload a basic video for #TikTok (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRxGoPgJ/), but didn't want to go through the hassle of downloading a video editor.
I used Microsoft Clipchamp and surprisingly did the job!
(Not an ad, just a discovery)
So, Trump wants to commit genocide.
So many questions, starting with; how is he still President and is nobody going to say something and stop him??
New video upload!
I take a look at Smoke & Lottery Simulator which is a bit janky and I broke the game befor eI even got started!
I wanted to post this just after taking it, but the Forest ground seems to block signals...
Anyway, nice day out in Nottingham watching the Lionesses play against Iceland and get a 2-0 win!
I didn't really enjoy Blues Women's FA Cup game against Man City.
Not because we lost, I didn't expect a win, despite how well we played.
It was spoiled by the screeching woman sitting behind throughout the game.
She gave me a literal headache.
When the Gammons heard about the changes to our money...
As much as I've enjoyed using Vivaldi, more sites are breaking and I've tried everything, but no fix.
I've even had to shudder use Edge to access a couple sites I use regularly.
Might go back to Firefox...
Another Black Sheep kinda morning...
Latest video is of Service Area Simulator: Prologue in which you have to build up businesses on Route 66!
After waking over 41k steps the past couple of days, I'm glad to actually have a rest day!
"Your package was left near the front door or porch."
If the Amazon driver had cared to wait just a couple more seconds, I would have opened the door as I was almost there.
By the time I'd opened the door, he'd walked a few houses up. Funny, since it appeared he'd been at the previous stops for about 5 minutes each...
New upload!
Felt a bit overwhelmed for about a week, but managed to record something and get it uploaded.
Parcel Delivery Simulator, see me play through the demo. The game is available on Steam for jut £5!
Just more proof that X/Twitter is shit.
So I realised I've run out of videos to upload to #YouTube and I hadn't recorded any to edit.
Gonna be spending a good amount of time recording lots of stuff, so I have content to upload.
If you'd like to see what I've uploaded the past couple of weeks, see my channel - @MGAceman@www.youtube.com
Do you think the delivery services got together and voted for who would 'take one for the team' and #DoorDash lost?
If you're looking for a good value SIM, may I recommend SMARTY who have some great offers.
