We release new videos most Saturdays around 09:30 am Pacific Time / 17:30 pm UK time. We also release Shorts on a less scheduled basis. After you subscribe, turn on the notification bell and make sure your YouTube notifications are enabled in your device settings. Oh, and thanks for subscribing!

This is an option YouTube now offers. Retro Recipes is all about the joy of nostalgia and fun for everyone, including parents with kids. To keep the vibes positive and zap the trolls, we sometimes don't enable comments on our videos. For visual explanations, check out this video clip on bizarre comments and another on serious issues

Back in school, a gifted kid told me to memorise "Chrisostomatico-perifractic-habitanamala-culacatescia-bobblers" as my new name, meaning "a man who is coated in gold". This nickname stuck and led to others being named similarly, like Ladyfractic and Puppyfractic.

Yes, Raffall Ltd. (UK) is trustworthy and 100% legal, complying with all UK laws and overseen by the UK Gambling Commission in Perifractic's home country. Their TrustPilot rating is excellent. They organise the contests, choose winners, own and provide the prizes, and ensure that a portion of proceeds benefits charity. This video clip explains in more detail. This all enables future projects for the community to enjoy, as well as benefitting charity and creating a winner.

Where stated, if a raffle falls short of a stated minimum ticket target, it pivots to the common "50/50 raffle" format where the winner gets half of the ticket sales. Remaining proceeds go to charity, as well as to pay Raffall and affiliate commission, and cover promotion expenses and other costs. Every remaining penny is put back into producing future projects for your enjoyment, all while creating a cash winner and benefitting charity.

As we announced on the channel it turns out most non-viewers thought KITTesla was a Tesla body 'KIT' and didn't enter. As the raffle thus didn't hit the reserve, as mentioned on the front page of the raffle it shifted gears to a cash prize instead, and the winner left us a 5-star review – so it’s safe to say they’re feeling turbo-boosted! Plus, 10% of proceeds went to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, so we’re all driving in the right direction. Thanks to everyone who participated, and remember, KITT always finds a way to win – another raffle will follow. Stay tuned for the next adventure!

Our videos are 100% free-of-charge. Like your favourite TV and radio stations ads help keep the studio running and fund the production of high-quality content at no cost to you. If you prefer an ad-free experience, consider supporting us on Patreon for early access to ad-free videos and double the content.

We sometimes experiment with AI to assist in content creation, like AI-assisted thumbnails and our occasional AI presenter, PerAIfractic. This allows us to balance content creation with personal demands.

The Tesla's self-driving cameras are specifically positioned for its design. Modifying a Pontiac would misalign these cameras, and hacking the Tesla software risks being blocked from Tesla's servers.

Yes this is a real comment received more than once, revealing some deeply outdated views on gender and appearance. Many channels feature partners regularly, each person bringing their unique look and vibe, and Retro Recipes should be permitted to have both married partners feature just like any other channel. If you see Ladyfractic in the videos and thumbnails, it’s because she has actively requested to be there. Ladyfractic's involvement is based on her merits, personality, wit, ee-oos, and unique perspective. At Retro Recipes, we celebrate individuality and choice, aiming to keep our content fun, friendly, and assumption-free. We’re here to share our love for all things retro, including the wonderful people who make our content possible. Let’s enjoy nostalgia without stereotypes.

Josiefractic is a work friend of Ladyfractic and myself. Check out the "Meet Josiefractic!" video for more insights.

Ashleyfractic had to leave due to her demanding new job and studies. She remains a beloved member of our community, and the door is always open for her return.

No, these are Gunnar blue light blocking glasses, which help with my colourblindness and reduce eye strain.

Enchroma glasses didn't work for my type of colourblindness, but they may help others.

No joke, I've worked on Star Wars movies and games and more as a voice and screen actor. More details are available on the Acting page of our website.

It’s a Sony Trinitron GVM-1311Q, chosen for its support of PAL and NTSC and its exceptional picture clarity.

I left the project to focus on personal matters as explained in my 2024 review of the product, but remain good friends with the team and continue to support them as a co-founder.

The extra bit is for parity.

We prioritise our style and tastes on our channel, along with those of our regular subscribers and supporters, but YouTube offers everyone the chance to create content that aligns with their preferences.

Our channel's unique style includes these elements based on supporter feedback. We create what we love and what our audience enjoys. Many of our viewers watch with their partners and children, and we hope our "not so serious" video style continues to resonate with them, and remind others of the happiness of childhood nostalgia. We have a little fun with this comment in this video clip.

The best way to get involved and support us is through Patreon, where we offer various perks and closer contact with our team.
