YouTuber LGR felt 'numbness at how powerless I was' as his one-of-a-kind retro PC collection took a direct hit from hurricane Helene, but seeing most of the trove survive now has him eager to share it with others

Retro PC YouTuber LGR was relieved to find much of his collection intact, but told me that "more than ever that there's a need to redistribute a lotta this stuff" to ensure its preservation.

    Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.

    I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.

      I have no clue how he’s this quickly been able to have such a positive attitude and sense of humor about it. I’d be despondent in his shoes.

      I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised; Clint always brings such enthusiasm and positivity to his videos. He’s a go-to when I’m sick. He’s like chicken noodle soup in video form.

        I’ve been watching this fella since he started. Basically the only online personality who’s never put out shit that made me eventually think he was a poes. Haha.

        Him and Red Letter Media are basically the only two channels that haven’t taught me to disdain their content 😇

    That hurts in the same way as the time I saw someone on reddit say that an early 3d printer fire burnt their house down… and their cat.

    He’s a thought: move away from hurricane territory. Seriously, wtf is wrong with people. You live in a disaster-prone region.
