This is The End of LGR Donation Unboxing Videos

[@TooManyHobbies786]

I think an LGR online charity auction would clear out some of your excess goodies! Partner up with a bunch of retro tech tubers, hold a big auction and have the stuff get re-homed to people that are interested in its preservation. Its a win-win-win!

[@tomverlaine728]

Great idea

[@Rabbitlord108]

Or he could set up a shop on Ebay.

[@yourguysheppy]

​@@Rabbitlord108 Ebay sucks for sellers, buyers can just lie and get a refund + keep the item.​

[@Zusse]

Yeah honestly I'd love to buy some of that stuff

[@MrDuncl]

@@Rabbitlord108 I have sold loads of old stuff on eBay. Most buyers are fine. However, it look me at least an hour per item to take photos write the listing, pack the item etc.

[@JTSuter]

We really need some kind of consumer technology museum. It would be neat to see an exhibit and then see the accompanying LGR review playing right next to it.

[@Yo_DynamoJoe]

This right here is a solution what feels right. Now I don't pretend to know where the initial funding and ongoing financial support for such an endeavor would come from, but every great thing, even LGR Things, began with a single thought.

[@Dorelaxen]

I've been wanting to get something like that going for years, but it's almost impossible to get funding because there's no real profit in it for investors. Some cities might give small grants for cultural reasons, but even that's tenuous. The best thing we've ever gotten is the national video game museum in Texas.

[@Teo0207]

It works for LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER, why wouldn't it for Clint?

[@GarethFairclough]

I mean, RMC the cave did it! And that Museum is small and awesome!

[@Jerrod247]

I didn't because because I kept reading lol

[@IrisCorven]

LGR will never end. If he ends it, he'll just make another channel where he goes over old LGR videos. The cycle continues. Balance is restored.

[@fadeawayX]

You've remained remarkably upbeat, positive, and productive for a person who has gone through what you have. I know I probably speak for the majority of your audience when I say that I'm down with whatever decisions you need to make that will make things easier and more manageable for you. Merry Christmas!

[@elgoog-the-third]

*CHRISTMAAAAAS!*

[@boardsort]

As the operator of a large computer recycling center I appreciate the responsibility that comes with the task of being the gatekeeper to everything vintage that passes through your life. It is a challenge that demands much attention and time. Your passion will lead you to down the right path and your proven dedication will ensure you stay on it. We are all looking forward to your future!

[@hak1985org]

The thing I used to enjoy the most was LGR Tech Tales. I felt more long term value in those episodes. The best part is that they don’t require collecting a bunch of stuff that takes over your house and life. I hope you’re able to resume doing those maybe in place of things like unboxing etc.

[@MrDuncl]

Clint could do an entire video on how Ken Olson of DEC said "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." just as the Apple II, Pet, and TRS80 launched.

[@tman83739]

I've been there before with my own collections. At some point it starts to feel like instead of you owning your stuff, it starts to feel like your stuff owns you. I can't wait to see what you decide to keep and what you let go of! Only keep what brings you joy!

[@kaneofnod]

Totally. I go through the inevitable cycle of selling most of my collection then regretting some things and starting over again. Well, now I try to keep it more curated and focused on meaningful additions than just things I have a passing interest in.

[@KanoWhite53]

Merry Christmas LGR!

[@fd5927]

Yeah, Merry Christmas LGR, albeit in temporary accommodation, make the best of the holidays. You know your fellow LGR followers have "your back" (Isn't that a weird saying) anyhow. Look forward no matter how bad the past has been and SEASON'S GREETINGS and wishing you a WONDERFUL 2025.

[@KassRedFox]

Before you close the donations allow me to send you one more thing: Much love and support!

[@ChrisHilgenberg]

With everything over the last two months, being able to go through all of your items to see what you have really brings things into perspective just how much items you accumulated over the years, and I totally get it. It just makes thrifts/unboxing videos in the future much more special if they resume down the road.

[@funnyunkle]

Thanks Clint for all the unboxing over the years. We will continue to see whats up when things get settled. GD bless and Happy Holidays.

[@rodneyknaap]

There is nothing as terrible as losing your home, I can sympathize from my own experiences, and this will cause you to reflect literally everything in your life, that is very understandable! You will get through it, just let time pass and slowly your feelings about everything will change for the better. I wish you a good recovery in everything!

[@ssj3gohan456]

Honestly I don't know how you're even making videos. Do whatever, man. You have our blessing.

I'm glad this was not one of the "the reason I'm quitting YT" videos.

[@DudokX]

I will miss them. But of course, getting things from people just to have to put them in storage is no fun, so it makes sense.

[@RT-qd8yl]

That can get very expensive too.

[@maxxdahl6062]

@@RT-qd8yl Wish I got given even a fraction of the stuff LGR gets given. lmao

[@scaper8]

Yeah, it's got to be a weird feeling. People send you stuff completely out of the blue because it's a passion for you and they know you'll get joy from it. Then, in the end, it becomes a major chore and it kills a lot of the fun for you. I can't say that I "understand" it, given I have nothing to compare it to, but I certainly understand it on a theoretical level.

[@maxxdahl6062]

@@scaper8 Though I will say (About any youtuber.), it seems a bit sleazy to take things people are giving you, but also making videos that will make you money off of stuff that you were given for free.

[@trofl]

​@@maxxdahl6062the alternative is that a lot of this stuff stays in someone's closet and never sees the light of day. It's not sleazy at all. Spending the time and money on making videos and finding storing for all this stuff isn't free. Should museums not charge any fees?

Glad the IIGS ram plus made it safe! Not sure if it does anything specifically for the PC transporter, but at least it is on brand with it, enjoy!

I can't express how much you have touched my life and the community. You are an amazing individual and have always had and no doubt will have amazing content. Merry Christmas man.

[@retabera]

Nowhere is safe. I got burgled and lost my entire retro games collection. I am glad I sent some rare bits to you before that. This is a good move, I hope that this gives you a chance to revisit what surviving items you already have and do a video of each one working, for preservation that least that these things even exist, at least until a museum which can handle this comes along.

I remember Design Your Own Railroad. And yes, that is an enthusiast level program for Model Railroads.

[@MickyRose-n4u]

No hate meant but I'm sure your storage and our viewing time being free of people shilling their channels and products in your unboxing videos will be an okay change. That said. That first package was one of the highest effort figurines I've ever seen someone create. Normally it's a slap job or poorly designed. But that. That even made me go "woah".

[@The_Starkindler]

This all seems really sensible, and I honestly can't blame you for having a lot of these kinds of feelings or self-reflection. This is... a lot. You at least don't have to rush things, and please please please be kind to yourself as you take time to recover. Seasons change, right? I figure life is really a series of different seasons, in a way. "Eras" as the kids say hahah. I hope you can find some joy and relaxation as the year comes to a close, and that you get to spend time with your brother and your parents. Sending lots of virtual hugs from Atlanta!

[@redkf]

The only logical solution is to open a kickstarter to build the LGR retro museum (please don't do it, it looks like a daunting task)

[@After_these_messages]

Hey man 👋 I’ve followed your channel for a long time. I totally get being bitter about the hurricane. I wouldn’t let any unexpected tragedy ruin your passion, though. If anything, a climate controlled storage unit could provide reasonably safe storage for stuff while your place gets rebuilt. Don’t let that storm win. Rebuild any way you can.

[@wxcferdts]

Fortunately - and I'm speaking for myself here - we have the other unboxings still, and they are just as much fun to rewatch; in my opinion, even more so: a kind of soothing, homely rerun of erstwhile pleasure. In fact, the same applies to the 'thriftings': rewatchable without any problem, even if only for Clint's dry and witty asides and seemlessly flowing running commentary.

Clint!, I completely understand what you're saying when you felt relief after getting rid of a large amount of stuff.

Man, Cobra Mission is on my wishlist for so long now. I'm jealous ;D By luck, I got my hands on the super rare original Japanese PC-98 of it for like 20 bucks recently. Cobra Mission is kinda fun, but the RPG elements are rather basic and the game lacks decent balancing. Dragon Knight III was the Japanese title of Knights of Xentar. Megatech released one last game which is not in the catalogue in the video. It's called PowerDolls.
