"Cool and sometimes funny..."
I play videogames, post rants, and I even sing (badly). Most of the content is about Minecraft, my current favorite game.
My sense of humor isn't for everyone, but if you can handle it, you're welcome to stay.

Midge Nebula Screen Saver
I have a program that uses random numbers and color averaging and all sorts of other stuff to create images that I think resemble nebulas (nebulae). My mother used to sit with me and watch these images generate for hours. She passed away recently. I decided to combine the randomness with some pictures I had of her to make her part of the art. Here's a full hour of nebulae and Midge.

My mother recently passed away. I threw together a few pictures I had handy. I might find more later and do a better version when it hurts a little less. We were planning a family trip to Gatlinburg. She was having trouble sleeping and wanted to go to the hospital for a breathing treatment so she wouldn't slow us down. When she got admitted, she told us to go on without her. The breathing probl...
The "C" Word 27 - This Chicken has Teeth
zhlédnutí 372Před 7 lety
I saw the radiation doctor this week. She agrees with the surgeon that the anal tumors are a good candidate for surgery while they are small, not inflamed, and not causing a problem. It would also be a good time to hit them with more radiation. On the other hand, since they are currently small, not inflamed, and not causing a problem, why do anything at all just now? She agreed that a "wait and...
Vlog #40 - Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 Test Video
zhlédnutí 848Před 7 lety
My Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 died and I looked for a replacement. I stumbled across the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1. This isn't a full-blown review, just me talking about the new tablet and some tablet experiences in general, just to see how the camera and microphone work. So far, it's been a pretty fun toy to play with, but I'm hopeful it will also be a useful tool. I'm also hoping it will run the c...
The "C" Word 26 - No Surgery Just Yet
zhlédnutí 119Před 8 lety
I checked with a surgeon today who thinks that the external tumor is a good candidate for surgery. In fact, I think he was ready to cut me right there in the office. But I have another appointment with the radiation doctor in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to see what she has to say before pulling the trigger on the surgery. I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. It didn't want t...
Vlog #39 - Yet Another Windows Fail
zhlédnutí 151Před 8 lety
While trying to get a USB device to work the way I wanted (which was incidentally a way the manufacturer never intended), I installed some USB drivers that caused Windows not to be able to boot up. Restore and repair options failed, so I had to nuke and pave. That is, format the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows.

Vlog #38 - Mandela Effect: Jif or Jiffy 2
zhlédnutí 578Před 8 lety
I posted a video a while back where a game show contestant trying to get another to guess the word "jiffy" (a small unit of time) used "peanut butter" as a clue. That doesn't make much sense since there's never been a brand of peanut butter called Jiffy. Or has there? Another example of the Mandela Effect, where people not only remember things wrong, but lots of other people remember it wrong t...
The "C" Word 25 - Radiation Done For Now (Yay!)
zhlédnutí 69Před 8 lety
I finally finished all 20 of my 10 radiation treatments, which took 6 of the 4 weeks they told me it would. The radiation doctor is quite happy with the results. I'm just happy that it no longer hurts when I poop. I will see the surgeon in a couple of weeks to see what he says, then follow up with the radiation doctor in a month. Once again, this didn't cure me by any means but it might just ma...
Mandela Effect: Jif or Jiffy Peanut Butter?
zhlédnutí 30KPřed 8 lety
While I certainly remember that choosy mothers (and later, choosy moms) choose Jif brand peanut butter, I also remember an older advertising campaign telling mothers to fix their children a snack in a jiffy with Jiffy. I remember noticing they'd changed the name from Jiffy to Jif in the late 1980s. Many years later, I learned of the Mandela Effect and found that this was another of its examples...
The "C" Word 24 - Quick Update
zhlédnutí 115Před 8 lety
I have undergone about 15 radiation treatments so far with about 5 more to go. My tumors have gotten noticeably smaller and less painful. I talk to the doctor again next week to decide where to go from here. I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. It didn't want this to affect my regular videos, so I'm putting everything involving this into a new playlist called The "C" Word. It se...
The "C" Word 23 - Diabetus Radiationus
zhlédnutí 52Před 8 lety
Radiation therapy was temporarily halted due to a diabetic emergency, which wasn't really an emergency but try telling a doctor that when they've got lab results they don't like. I knew it was a mistake to let them draw blood. Other good news: more chemo? I was recently diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. It didn't want this to affect my regular videos, so I'm putting everything involving thi...
The "C" Word 22 - Radiation Therapy

What I thought was another infected anal abscess has actually turned out to be some new cancerous growths in that area. I am currently trying radiation therapy to see if that helps.

Nebula Generation (aka The Screensaver)
zhlédnutí 110Před 8 lety
I kind of got addicted to generating images for this video. I just like watching the computer draw them. In the end, I decided to focus more on the drawing than the finished product. All the math and drawing was done with GFA BASIC 32. All the video editing was done with FFmpeg (and CZcams does not like that based on how long it's taking to process) but the resulting upload was only 500 MB for ...
Maze Wars
zhlédnutí 142Před 8 lety
Back in the early days of playing with my TI-99/4A home computer, I typed in a program (called A-Maze-ing?) from a magazine (Compute?) that generated mazes. With small changes, the same program could be used to solve mazes. I've re-created that same program on pretty much every computer I've ever had access to with whatever programming language I was using at the time. With slight changes, it a...
Bouncing Line Demo
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 8 lety
Ever since my first computer with an actual graphics mode (sorry TI-99/4A!) I've been writing some version of this program. It's a colorful bouncing line demo which I first coded on an Apple ][ back around 1984. It's similar to the old Mystify Your Mind screensaver. This version was programmed in GFA BASIC 32.

i remember seeing jiffy peanut butter in the store in the early 2000s
You can't focus on a bright moon in "night mode", it'll not be able to compensate. Night mode is for videoing in dark settings, the bright-as-white moon throws your camera a curveball, one right at it's poor little back when it wasn't expecting one. You'd have gotten a better picture filming in "sunlight mode". That's how my camera software explained it to me anyways. You're telling your camera to expect darkness and then flooding bright light at it.
I loved this back in the day. It, along with cover bands who make things their own like Postmodern Jukebox and Tragedy, will always remind me that adaptations can improve access and visibility of the originals.

Yea I remember Jiffy as well, I'm 43 watched a ton of TV in the 80s. I do think Jiffy existed, and my guess for effects like this, is they changed from Jiffy to jiff before the internet was prevelant, and it would be easier for a company pre internet to just scrub all or most of the history after a logo or name change.
His he still alive. Wanna know if u well
I REMEMBER THIS SCREENSAVER!!!
I still use this camera. Works great outdoors with natural lighting.
As I rewatch this, I am struck by how this “team” acted so chaotically at opening stage of this map challenge. Why? Because once they had a shelter, enough wood and cobblestone to make a crafting bench, furnace, they could have made enough torches to light up the spawn area keep any mobs from spawning near their shelter as they explores the tunnel and beyond, preventing the utter chaos of mobs attacking them and their shelter as they repeatedly respawned while clearing the tunnels for loot to build the monument!!!
Watching this again on Jan 1, 2024 and I also have to see the dentist to get a crown put on a broken lower molar! Again, RIP, Uncle Troy.
Oscar from the Office!!
we love u troy cheek :((((
If it was called Jiffy then where are all the vintage jars at??
Yoooooo
RIP Troy. Really miss your videos man.
If you just use the bracket on the back of the gps unit it will stick extremely well to a magnetic vent mount, never had it fall off.
I remember Jiffy peanut butter.
It won't let me post the link here, but if you do a search on song lyrics that use the word "jiffy", you'll clearly see metaphors for the peanut in some of them.
@elhajjmalikel6266 you tube deleted my comment. All I said was do you remember the girl with braces in the moonraker movie? And, Ed Mcmann Publisher's Clearinghouse.
Great commentary and real insight into this Berenstein bear issue. I can vividly remember asking myself several times as a child how to pronounce Berenstein. Trying different variations, because Spanish was my primary language. Looking back now I believe our minds somehow knew there was a spell being casted into our minds. I believe in magic and warlocks. And this explains the weird inexplicable shift or change, both physically in books, and mentally in memories.
People are conflating Jiff and Skippy. There DEFINITELY was not Jiffy and Skippy. That is ridiculous. You’re also conflating it with the popcorn Jiffy. One of the worst Mandela Effects ever.
Please list the rest of the code!
I will argue with anybody any day. It has always been Jiffy.

There is actual proof it used to be called Jiffy. Here's a link to a ICP song. It came out in the early 90s and the proof is at the 1:46 mark. czcams.com/video/D3CdgcHFjf8/video.html
Yes
How many hours does it take to fully charge and how long does the battery last?
OMG
Nice try Oscar!
Awesome
Awesome find 👏 😎 👌
Miss my uncle troy. He was so funny. Rip uncle Troy.
Hey Troy. I have come across the ME just a few months ago and I am as certain as one could be about such a thing that this is a real phenomenon. It certainly seems that some people notice it more than others but it is happening. The Jiffy one always struck me as strange because we always had "Jif" in the house and considered I would have noticed it like others. But you saying that this happened before the 80s makes sense for me because I was not born yet. One element that never seems to come up is how MEs happen in the same time frame for everyone. The mirrors changed around 93. FOTL happened pre 9/11 but in 2000/2001 for me anyways. Just wondering if you have a guess for when Jef changed?
cool
You nkow is possible conect the Samsung HMX-F80 to ATEM Mini?
Is it works on motorcycle?..
Story teller but FA about the Garmin
I know this is over 9 years ago now but I just got the problem on a Logitech HD Pro C920 web-cam! when I changed the port it's plugged into by plugging it into a 4 port USB 2 hub. It tells me it's 1.1 and I'm ignoring it. I looked up the problem on the old internet and this is where I ended up. I thought I would put a reply in here just in case you were listening out there Uncle Troy. Your talk was so amusing I felt I had to respond somehow from the deep south of New Zealand. I'm not stalking you btw. Just examined the Hub with a program called USBVIEW and although the HUB is USB 2 the individual ports are shown as only supporting 1.1 so Logitech message is actually correct (cheering heard in the background)

Thank you everyone for watching over the years. Unfortunately uncle Troy passed away from cancer a few years ago. This is his nephew. Troy was my uncle. He would want you all to know he loved all his viewers & subscribers.

Hey Troy, what AC adapter is required to fully charge the camera? My camera seems to charge to green light but it won't turn on. I'm not sure if I changed the original adapter. Thanks.
I have a HMX -F90 that won't power on. Is there anything I can do other than order a new battery. To solve the problem & save my most favorite camera?
Thousands of MANDELA EFFECTS now. This IS our Creator. Restaurants still make Jiffy burgers called so because Jiffy PB was an ingredient
Thanks bro, have been having hard time doing this mission
Sorry to hear of your passing. Your content entertained me for years. RIP
I post this everywhere that I can. I remember a commercial when I was a child in the early 90's that said that our favorite brand of peanut butter, "Jiffy," is now called "Jif." Does anyone else remember this? It is a very clear memory of mine...
It has always been Jif, but people call it Jiffy. They are mixing up Skippy and Jif.
I think people know how to suck their teeth. I don't think any explanation is necessary.
I guess I'm the only one who does not care. Why does it matter? He stopped right away and did his job. The history lesson on teeth was grueling. I didn't rather watch the news caster then hear him discuss the history of teeth for one more second.
Does he really think people don't know how to suck their teeth?
