There's a newish YouTuber called Kari I'm kinda fascinated by as she seems really young and is somehow into old retro games and computers.

She hasn't many videos but a lot of her content seems to be around the old et game.

I think I'm mainly just curious how she's managed to get all the stuff she has and how the heck did she get into it.

That's a really long name!

Yeah I'm also wondering how she possibly got such a short name, she's maybe 16/17 at my guess has an insane set up and the amount of retro stuff she had is insane.

I'm thinking maybe a millionaires kid or something but she does seem so into retro stuff my brain just can't compute it.

But yeah she appeared out of nowhere about 6 months ago and her YouTube name is actually just Kari.

Says she's 21 in her bio. Could've landed a job in like finance or something at that age already I suppose

Yeah I'm bad at judging age of girls/women I think and always err on the side of caution. That's a possibility she could well have achieved it herself.

My main wonder is how someone at that age gets fascinated by retro over the latest shinys. I mean I have nostalgia for certain older games and such but I still kind of would have all the latest stuff if I could.

Atari Archive. Kevin Bunch is going through all the officially released games chronologically.

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure LGR and Game Sack have done episodes on Atari games.

Classic Game Room? Most Atari videos are bound to be 5-10 y old, but who cares, CGR is great and the vids too :-)

John Hancock does. He doesn't exclusively do Atari, but he does cover Atari stuff. https://youtube.com/@johnhancockretro?si=TvBLLiBYTsCTeTyC

Zero Page Homebrew. That guy is absolutely on top of Atari homebrew. Every relase, demo, and announcement, as far as I can see.
