-- -- A word from Tim -- --
I hope you are all okay and being kind to yourselves. This is a wild season for everyone. For some COVID is an annoying inconvenience but for others it has bought absolute tragedy. I’m really sorry if that’s the case for you. I hope you are all taking time to exercise, eat good food and do things that bring warmth to your soul. I encourage you to seek professional counselling or help from friends or family if you start to get into a spiral of negativity. I’ve done this before and there is no shame in it, in fact it’s a sign of strength if you ask me. A strong person is honest about how they feel and knows when they need to seek help.
If you are wondering how I am, first of all thank you.
I am well, working hard to stay busy.
Finding God and the lord Jesus has been a source of great peace and comfort in my life. This is why I felt compelled to share about him despite the possibility it may upset some.
I’ve been working on my design career, being an adult, looking to buy another Honda and of course tinkering with old tech junk. (as seen in todays video)
I’m hoping to show you all a PC design project that I worked on last year for my major work at Uni / college sometime soon. I think you guys are going to love it. However it’s far from ready to show off yet, still very unfinished.

And when the world needed him most, he returned.
And then we discovered the new avatar...a tech bender named green ham gaming
He returned from the Snap...
The legend returns this made my day
But he is not the same...
@@iamstartower because we all change, and thats a good thing.
Couldn’t quite believe it when I got the notification. I have so missed these videos
@Jacks Dumb Stuff absolutely
Between this channel and random gaming you guys shaped my career and my studies as a college student.
Fancy seeing you here
@@RandomGaminginHD you guys have that vibe
@@gavinczuprynski literally same
You haven't uploaded in so long that beer is more my thing now
Strong vodka is my
An abscence of Greenham can lead to alcoholism but I think that's written somewhere in the About section
arguably the best comment ive ever read
watching this guy 5 years ago with illegally possessed monster can
watching this guy now with illegally possessed bag of weed
times changed,people just a little
@@sp1cychilli985 watching this guy 5 years ago slacking off at school
Watching this guy 5 years later, slacking off at 9-5 office job.

Quite literally this time, too.
It’s been so long bro your the guy that got me into computers

bruh i was literally on a nostalgia trip last night and checked to see if ghg was still posting. turned on notifications, just in case. welcome back chief

This is the first GHG video where I actually am legally old enough to get a beer because that's more my thing.
And then you have a sip of beer and find out it tastes like piss 😳😂
Same!
As an atheist, I’m happy for Tim and his faith and new outlook on life. I think his approach to welcoming others into such a worldview is respectable and even admirable.
From reading the comments Tim, I would suggest continuing your relationship with your God without a church that has a sketchy track record. I wish you the best regardless. Thank you for giving us a new video and best of luck in your continued journey.
🍻 (I’m more of a beer guy, not a tea guy)
Added context - I used to be catholic. Talk about bad track record! 😳😬
Legend returns... at the time we needed him.
I'm going to get right into it I'm going to talk to you about jesus🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome back king! Your subjects await you.
As a non believer, I congratulate you on finding what you need homie. Glad you're doing good. The UA-cam space is better with you
it's to fast it's to slow awesome
The section at the end really caught me off guard, but I find it really lovely that you speak openly and lovingly about what gives you the power and motivation to do what you do. Keep on with the awesome stuff and may god give you power Tim!
this pc guys this pc
omg omg omg this is gonna sound insane but i've been revisiting old youtubers who havent uploaded in a while and all 3 of them have like a day or so after i watched them just randomly uploaded, wtf is this massive coincidence i'm living right now
Yo you need to visit more UA-camrs then
not a lot of youtubers interest me sadly anymore, but ghg is one i can confirm that has always been interesting
also i accidently clicked on your channel and went to the about page (instinct) and i see we have the exact same gpu so hello other person with a sapphire rx 480
@@ChilliusVGM who were the other three who also uploaded recently?
Yeah, who were the other UA-camrs? 🧐😀
Revisit MrGstar
Holy shit you're back! Missed you man!
Your videos are the reason I built my pc
@@gabdiamond1395 me too cx
Well this is almost as unexpected as my dad coming home with cigarettes
just going to get smokes he reckons: dad never came back :(
Lol
You're pfp fits this comment. Stupid Alex.
not as long as photonicinduction and hiatus in india
Its like seeing an old friend after years so good to have you back
True man ! Tim seems like a friend even though I have never met him
Watching a computer that was never designed to touch a game struggling so hard to do anything is what makes me love Green Ham Gaming. Welcome back!
About your talk about the end, I'm glad that you found so much more happiness and that you are at piece. I personally don't believe in any grand creator of any sort, but if you've found happiness with your believes then I am happy for you.
you'll have hot chocolate great choice
Oh how I’ve missed you optiplex daddy
Welcome back old friend 👏🏻 so good to see you're doing well. Thank you for opening up about your faith. Your end segment nearly brought me to tears. I myself am a Christian and am so glad to have seen you've found the true love of God in your heart not only towards you, but towards the people you shared this video with. Bless you man.
It feels so great to see this content again especially with the mailbox. Thank you for everything ghg
Welcome back! Honestly, watching these videos has become a wonderfully nostalgic experience. Congrats on finding god- I loved that last segment!
Quality over quantity is so painful. But soooo worth it when the video comes out
Jesus also helped me see the world about year ago, and I immediately stopped swearing and doing bad things I did; since then I had been through intense and hard times, but I have realized that those huge problems were nothing a meer prayer couldn't fix
I was super happy to see you talk about this, and I thank God for what has happened, praised be the God, and don't worry about the future, Jesus is coming
These videos are always so comforting, reminds me of when I would try to run Lego Island at 5 FPS on my grandma’s Windows XP Dell after school and the pure excitement that strange experiment gave me.
So nice to see you're still trucking. Please take good care. Your journey is not my journey, but you are still important to me. X
a new use for the spotify box, this seems interesting already
Slide show generator. :3
I thought this was the spotify box haha
Going through a hard time myself, the last part of the video was very emotional. I don't think it's for me but I'm glad you found what you needed in life! Keep it up! And thanks for this once again awesome video!
God bless you brother, glad you are back!
I'm happy you found a way of life that makes you happy.
Hillsong seems like an organization that contains some toxic elements though.
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on it.
No disrespect meant to peoples' beliefs although I'm atheist personally.
It's a business that uses religion to grow its customer base/
Seeing this pop up genuinely made me smile. :D
And everytime i see yours videos i clearly cry from happiness because, you show how it should be the tech, the specs, the benchs! Everything! As allways! You are awesome man! A huge hug from Paraguay!
Absolutely elated to see this finally pop up on my feed. Glad to rediscover you!
I really missed this channel and I'm really happy it's back!
When I was in middle school they installed a bunch of these thin clients connected to remote desktop. The 2003 era dells were better computers.
True but the school cut their power usage in half at least and that's all boomers care about lol
this was a great video, i had a good laugh. especially when the models were T-posing. I really appreciate this video, and i loved that runescape music in the beginning. Thanks a lot for uploading my guy, i really like all your vids !
I rediscovered you just tonight when i found your video from the beginning of 2021. Honestly, it's good to see you once again. Thank you for willing to jump back into the fray.
Oh. I needed this so much. EPIC. I’m glad you found some peace of mind with faith. A big hug!
I actually bought one of these a while back aswell as an Intel compute stick, glad you're back green ham!!!
We've been waiting man!
So happy your back making a video, so many memories watching ghg, so glad you have found something that can make your life be full again!
Did not expect a video from you. I was just looking again at your channel last week and now boom, new stuff. Welcome back!
It's great to see a video from you Tim! It's always fun to take a look at old and forgotten tech.
As for the Jesus talk, while I myself am not Christian, I found it really interesting to see your views. To put yourself out there is something that requires strength.
I hope you find yourself well and I can't wait to see what you do next!
sis mirage graphics should put up a message saying warning system overload when you start gaming on it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that this has so little views astonishes me. I love this channel dearly and I hope this numbers don’t turn you away from making more amazing content.
Your videos saved my life, I will forever thank you.
Best day of this year... Thanks for making it happen.... and that went south pretty quick...
incredible seeing you make a video again! Definitely need a cup of tea for this one!!!
I've been watching your content for years and as someone who is a Christian myself, watching the end was such an amazing and unexpecting experience not many on UA-cam do. To be that vulnerable takes a lot of strength and sharing your faith is also really hard to do especially in a modern world where Christianity can have some really vocal bad apples which can turn people off from the thought of religion. I'm so happy for you and seeing you in a good place right now brings me a lot of happiness due to how much Joy radiates off you. As someone who loves tech and God, thanks for doing what your doing and can't wait to see what you do in the future!
Simply yippeee! Welcome back and all power to you on your (new?) path.
thanks for coming back!
Been a while glad to see your back
The return of the king!
You inspired me to not let my channel die without a fight. Years ago I added you in a video as part of my favorite tech youtubers, and you're the only one that hasn't left that list.
Oh how I’ve missed your videos. There is nothing like your content anywhere else. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thank you for sharing the message at the end. Watching this video, late at night, in a dark place, has been a turning point in my life also.
I'm happy for you mate, but my heart sank as soon as you said 'hillsong'.
Words can't describe how much i'm happy right now.
We've been missing ya Tim, its glad to have you back exploring these pcs.
Went through the last tea part even though im not a cristian, but im glad youre okay and found out a reason to wake up every day. Made a tea myself as it was too cold to crack a cold one last night while watching. Be safe and chill like you always do. Cheers!
Was great to see you upload again.
Congrats on meeting Jesus dude! You seem like you’re doing much better now. Wish you the best man!
Good to see you back man, hope you're doin alright!
i fucking love your channel man,been subbed since like 2014-2015
Legendary, good to see you back!
Hey Mr. GHG! We've missed you! You sound like you're in a much happier and more stable place, which is awesome to hear. And I commend you for your desires to share what has given you peace with your audience. Being vulnerable (regardless of your beliefs or the topic) is how we make the world a better place.
Another comfy, relaxing video, and I love it. Didn't really care for the religion part, but it was hard to skip because Tim, you're just so easy going and make me feel like I'm in the same room as an old friend. Don't ever stop being such a chill dude.
@@youtubeisgarbage900 depends what it is
@@youtubeisgarbage900 no
Ive been missing this channel & it makes me very glad to see ya upoading again!!
Was looking for him months ago, thank you for returning!
This is someone who I look up to and will never unsubscribe from. They’re the reason I got into pulling out my old desktops and using them for gaming and other purposes.
Like my gateway xp desktop, gateway laptop, dell dimension desktop. God I miss those guys.
They _never_ expect *Jesus!*
Just rediscovered the channel literally two days ago, so stoked for an upload. Keep up the good work man, you got me into computers and put me onto some amazing games.
So very humbled by and proud of you. I've been watching your stuff for a quite a while now and I'm so happy to see another upload and even more so to see you at peace with yourself. Keep doing you and god bless!
OH MY GOSH. I’ve missed you so much dude. I hope you’ve been well and I wish you all the best. We all love you very much, and we want you to do whatever makes you happy.
Gaming would had been better with Windows XP. I remember those Intel Atoms, they were okey. But only with XP.
I remember using PJ64 and ePSXe on worse machines back in the day, with Windows XP, my first PC with an AMD Athlon with 1 core at 1.2ghz SiS graphics too, and 256MB of RAM did run better those emulators.
You remember these Atoms with GMA950 graphics. That is considerably more performant than SiS Mirage3 or GMA500. If you want evidence of that, go look at the video on my channel about GMA500 (which I ran on XP).
You are right, the XP drivers were better for the Mirage 3, however Intel GMA 950, even the laptop version has better performance
I missed your videos so much. It's wonderful to see you post again.
I've been watching your videos for 6 years and it's always a delight to see you return with an upload
That runescape music hit me hard.
I leaped out of my seat when I saw this pop in my feed welcome back tim I really did miss your videos.
the jesus part is pretty weird tho man Ill be honest .
Thought he was called Tim
@@AlexanderSmith600 your right tim james woopsie close enough
no way… this made my week, thank you for uploading again man!!
glad to see a new video. i have been waiting for like decades....
literally blessed
The legend has returned
Ah man, you have no idea how badly I needed this calming, low key type of content. I knew I wouldn't regret hitting the bell on your channel, I knew you'd be back.
The last bit was amazing. God bless you. I needed that
So, I know I'm 4 months late, but I just wanted to say I was so happy when I saw this in my recommended.
40 minutes of pure nostalgia... I can't wait
Hah more like 26 minutes.
great to see you back
Good to have you back
El a vuelto, si incluso los que hablamos español esperábamos su regreso...
Ya era hora!
Oh vaya que si.
El Hijo prodigo ha regresado
Ya se extrañaba.
Im honestly suprised on the second part of the video, not expecting it at all. Im glad you found comfort in faith, regadless of what religion it is.. Change is a part of life and how we grow as a human being.
I'm so glad I decided to search up your channel again! I've been a fan for many years, hope you are well!
Loved it, Tim! A classic GHG video with a heartfelt epilogue! I'm so delighted that you got to share your divine blessings in your life my friend :)
I appreciate you feeling comfortable enough to talk about faith stuff, it just really reaffirms the authenticity and honesty of your channel and the stuff you put out into the world - cheers! ☀️
Wow. I didn't even know SIS still made anything more recent than the really really budget integrated graphics in the early 2000s when I was working in a PC shop.
I'm really happy to see you are alive and i hope you are doing better than before
Looking forward to see more of your uploads
Thank God you are back, I hope to see more in the future
It’s been so long from the last time you uploaded a video like this. I really enjoyed the other videos and this one (except the last part which I skipped).
While I appreciate you opening up about your faith and how it is very important to you, I think you should consider reading the other comments talking about how the [mega]church you are a member in is a cult and has some toxic things and possibly consider something else.
I really think that the section at the end of the video just seems off considering most of the videos you upload are focused on tech.
Awesome to see a new video from you ;). Funny to see how this thing struggels to even play CS 1.6 on Poolday, maybe it could run "You have to win the game" with 60FPS 😂.
And it's also nice to hear that you found the way too god, everyone need one thing to believe too and you found your's ;)
Glad to see you back!
im so glad that you are back!
Good video, it got me wondering if modern thin clients are a thing & what their performance may be like. Also, great articulation from your heart of the gospel. I myself am looking forwards to a new translation of the Bible coming out later this year called the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB).
i dont know why but ghg's voice is so soothing
Happy to see you back
I just randomly remembered this channel, and am glad to see it coming back!
