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.

    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.

      Same, fucking catastrophe. I wonder how many “only 100 good condition of these are left in existence” things got destroyed. We need an Endangered Species Act for weird retro tech or something.

          He lives in western North Carolina, definitely not an area prone to hurricanes.

    That’s so sad to hear, but I’m glad he’s ok and pushing forward. Clint deserves the best.
