I really should have been ready for James to say "I don't wanna pay $60 AUS for cables so let's make our own."

As an owner of a ti-83, thanks, i didn't know i could make my own graphlink cable.

My first foray into programming was writing BASIC programs for my calculator. I whipped up a simple number guessing game and was the coolest guy in the class for about a week.

Still can't believe this channel exists. It's like a damn fever dream

[davep]

Thats a dank beat behind the tinkering. I love how it builds with your tooling around too. Perfect

[bacon.cheesecake]

Building your own cable is such a James thing to do, I love it

[Bennythejet]

You can tell Wade made the music for this and I absolutely love it.

James just making his own cable is so awesome. I like how he goes over how he did it instead of just glossing over it. Not a tutorial obviously but I appreciate how much work he puts into something as simple as a cable

[Fyshtako]

I would have never guessed how tech savvy you were from Garbage Time. Keep it up man, these videos are both fascinating and hilarious.

If we don’t get a smart fridge gaming video Imma be upset mate.

[thespoonman]

Watching a guy build a cable to avoid buying something and then have it work feels like a miracle, good job mate!

As someone who used to code apps and games on TI-83 Plus in my high school days, glad to see someone raising awareness about graphic calculator gaming. :) Just so you know, there are many far better games available, many of which actually decent ports/clones of famous games, as well as some great games specifically made for this platform. Some were coded in TI-BASIC, but most were programmed in Z80 assembly.

0:34 I can’t explain it, but as someone who enjoys making cosplays and DIY fashion, I relate to the way James looked at the schematic and thought “This is expensive, but I have all those parts, so I can make that myself.” It’s so cool to see the same thought processes happen with completely different materials!

0:30 “I don’t wanna pay that” literally explained my personality 💀

[ThunderTHR]

So glad to see you're making videos, always a must watch whenever a new video drops!

I installed flappy bird on people's calculators for $10 a pop when in high school😂 so this video was a blast from the past. Thanks for the memories lol I also had a janky homemade cable like yours lol

[Furko]

Much better with the quiet background music! Looking forward to more uploads

[SymphoMatt]

The backing music does _so much_ to help fill space. Thank you for putting some in!

[TheBorhork]

God this is amazing! I wish this was a channel when I was in highschool! I would have loved this

[jdogisswag]

I'm digging the background music! So cool that James has a channel! It's really cool to see him work his magic. Keep up the good work, man!
