After few months, I've finally managed to get a job and start working for few weeks already. In some cases, it's better to get a job than relying on monetization (not getting any still, just to note), at the cost of doing actual work and activities that are not related to making content.
Since then, I've got some suggestions on what should I do next. For now, I'll try to check out some old bootleg operating systems this Sunday.

I'll try to stream this Sunday at least for spending some time doing something around my birthday. I'm still busy as I' open for work, but I'm also doing some side stuff, so I didn't have enough time to work on making new content.

Another long delayed update. I've mentioned last time that I would consider doing a stream this month, but things have changed in a major way. The company where I work at has its assets sold to another company, which generally does impact my employment. Therefore, I couldn't make a stream this month, unfortunately.
I'm working on few things to see what could be done. Stay tuned if you're still able to see this.
In addition, I've uploaded archived copies of PixelWhimsy 1.2 and 1.3 to archive.org if anyone wants to consider to check it out (no guarantee it will work): archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22PixelWhimsy%…

Just a security warning: I've recently got a comment on my Excel 97 easter egg video saying that there is an easter egg in PowerShell. This thing isn't an easter egg, it's a goddamn trap. There are no proper easter eggs on Windows after XP. At this point, PowerShell shouldn't have any easter eggs at all. That damn thing is a malicious script.
The command that is shown in here is encoded base64 string. I'm assuming that it will most likely attempt to connect to malicious domain and most likely download another Powershell script remotely, run it and deploy malware. I did not run the script, so I have no idea what's in there.
Please, do NOT run any kind of script from comments, especially not if they are encoded so that you cannot figure out what it is.
The comment has been removed in this case to avoid others trying it out. Take caution.

I'm not surprised that Content ID could find a match, but out of all things, it had to be that car sliding puzzle game. I'll have to mute the part with the MIDI song completely as removing the song part can't be done. Basically, YT "doesn't know more information about this song", ironically. Even though I'm not monetized, at this point I'll rather removing most of these.

Minor overview of previous stream: Polish sites mostly failed to load, saw few old games of Wargaming(dot)net, checked out Press Kit of Valve Software around 2003 (TF2 still under development, Steam not yet released...), checked out few stuff from magazine CD and trashed the system with Talisman Desktop and few more stuff.

I've postponed the next stream for next week due to meeting up with friends for the weekend, sorry about that. Though, don't blame me for trying to some spend time like that when it's possible. As a distraction, here's my PinePhone as a PDA. Not really practical, but fun to use.

I was planning to do a malware stream this Saturday, but I'll have to postpone it next week, my apologies for the inconvenience.

These four images won't describe everything I've checked out in my last old software experimental stream. This may include gimmicky and awesome screensavers, memory optimization, theme changer, ancient or chicken target practice and hoops. If you still didn't, check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7hwf...

Yeah, I'm TomKTW in some cases when sites don't offer punctuation in naming, or Tom Kobalt as an alias.
This channel is mostly about old stuff, like malware, software, easter eggs and whatever else could be interesting.
I'm from Croatia so you may expect screwed up voice in videos as I don't have perfect vocal skills unlike every person who has English as native language.
For anything related to getting malware, look it up by yourself.
