I joined iFixit back in 2020 to disassemble my (brother's) Nintedo 3DS. I can remember the details pretty vividly - I was working in the kitchen with the same small box of screws I use today, sitting on a high chair while there was an ice cream debacle, taking photos I'd later end up using as a profile picture, much to the bemusement of my then-friends. I was positively absorbed by the process, attempting to see if I could do anything about the console's shoulder buttons (Mario Kart 7 in particular wasn't kind to already dysfunctional buttons). Somehow, it worked... sort of. They remain wonky, but it's something that showed promise and results.

Things ramped up in 2021, as I bought an Xbox 360 S. On the very day I got it, I disassembled the PSU. I'm not joking. A Wii and PlayStation 2 followed suit, and then the rest is history.

I fix things. By no means am I some computer god, but it's a fun hobby to kill a few hours. From controllers to vacuum cleaners, consoles to whatever else I can't think of. It's probably not impressive by other standards, but I've brought them to working order, or better.

My plan after exams this year is to buy some tech, fix it and sell it. If something really goes wrong, the experience comes in handy.

And... yes, this is a gaming channel, of all the people this could've been. Meh.

Feel free to take a look around (or don't), see for yourself that I have way too much free time, whatever.
