Jongler’s Book For Jongling Information on TV Remotes - Informational Videos
Hello everyone! Have some more knowledge hoard shinies. This is the video portion on TV remotes (and remotes in general) and how they work. Also a few restoration videos
There’s all of these fics and headcanon’s about repairing Tenna since he’s a mechanical Darkner, but I don’t think a lot of people realize that Zappers are too. The insides of a remote are much more complex than I initially realized. It's fascinating to see how they work
History Of The Remote Control
Video by History Of Stuff. A brief history of the TV remote & remote control in general. Good, concise information. Has a few cool pictures of vintage & antique remote controls. 3 and a half minutes
The Evolution Of TV Remotes
Video by SpeciFix. Goes through a brief history of TV remotes and the various mediums they used to send signals to the TV. Mostly stock graphics with a voice-over. 5 and a half minutes
Vintage TV Remote Control Commercial
Video archived by Tech Nerd. Vintage commercial for one of the very first commercial available wireless TV remotes. From 1961. Looks a lot different than today's remotes. About 6 minutes
The Science Behind How A Remote Control Works
Video by The Telegraph. Short, cheery little video with 8-bit music and graphics with a voice-over. Quickly explains the basics of how a TV remote works. A little over 1 minute
How Do TV Remotes Work? - Easy Explanation
Video by Curiosity Unlocked. Thorough explanation on how modern TV remotes work. Uses detailed graphics to help illustrate points. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. 5 and a half minutes
How Batteries Work - Battery electricity working principle
Video by The Engineering Mindset. Longer and a bit more technical than the above two. In-depth look on how alkaline batteries work. Has a bit of technical jargon here and there, but does a very good job of providing definitions when it does. Uses detailed graphics and diagrams to illustrate points. Very interesting watch if you have the time. 19 minutes
TV Remote Restoration
Video by Phone Fix Craft. Very satisfying restoration video of an old TV remote. No talking, uses in-video text captions to explain what they are doing and why. ASMR quality video. 8 minutes
Cleaning and Restoring Old TV Remote Control
Video by Restore & Love. Another satisfying restoration video. No talking, however, this one plays upbeat instrumental music over all sound as well, so no satisfying cleaning noises. 9 and a half minutes
Fixing A Remote After Leaking Batteries Destroyed The Terminals
Video by Crotalus667. They explain what they are doing as they are doing it. Instead of restoring the battery terminal itself, they make a new DIY one entirely and add it to the back. It's an interesting fix. 11 minutes
(My only complaint for this one is that the guy probably should have been wearing gloves. If you ever try something similar yourself, please take the proper safety precautions. The corroded batteries were disposed of and the corrosion cleaned before the start of the video. However, they were also soldering wires together, which they probably should have had gloves for)
Cleaning Corroded Battery Terminals At Home
Video by Vincent Stevenson. Shows how to clean off battery corrosion from a TV remote using common household objects. Makes it look quick and easy. 2 minutes
(Again, this person should have been wearing gloves. Do not handle corroded batteries or corrosion residue without gloves! Leaking or corroded alkaline batteries can cause acid burns on your skin! if you absolutely have to touch it bare-handed, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly in cold water afterwards)
That's it for this one everyone! Thank you for sticking with me so far!
Enjoy!

Pluey's Box of Shadowguy Research - Part 1 - Action Figure Shadowguys
Sharing more of my knowledge hoard! This time on Shadowguys. I have this separated into two posts with research on action figure Shadowguys & shadow puppet Shadowguys
I think it was canonically confirmed that the Shadowguys' Light World form is supposed to be the figures in the windows of Kris' house since they disappear after Chapter 3 if they were all recruited. But a lot of people headcanon the Shadowguys to be shadow puppets that Kris & Asriel made as kids, and I love that interpretation of them as well
Part 2 - Shadow Puppet Shadowguys is here: [Link]
General Shadowguy Information
Shadowguy Page on Deltarune Wiki
Exactly what it says on the tin. If you're looking for canon information and trivia about the Shadowguys from the game, start here
Mikes' Page on Deltarune Wiki
Same as above. Has information on all three of the Fake Mike Trio, so if you're looking for info on any of them specifically, go here
Kuroko Page on Wikipedia
Adding this here because this is the role that the Shadowguys fulfill in the dark world. Kuroko are stagehands in traditional Japanese theatre, who dressed all in black. The black outfits were meant to imply that they weren't there as part of the action on stage. They had the same purpose as a traditional running crew, and moved props and scenery around the stage, much like the Shadowguys do. If you want to read more about them, start here
Action Figure Page on Wikipedia
Wikipedia's page on action figures in general. Has a lot of good general information on their history, design process, materials, scales sizes, etc.. Good place to start if you just want some basic, general information
Balancing Sasuke Toy Meme Reference
According to the Deltarune Wiki, apparently that tower of stacked Shadowguys that you can recruit is a reference to the Balancing Sasuke Toy, which had such an impeccable center of gravity for an action figure toy that just about anything could be stacked on top of it, including multiple copies of itself. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I went and found the reference so you don't have to. Apparently it's become something of a meme

Article by Figure Realm. Shows various tips and tricks on how to paint custom action figure models. Reads like stop-motion comic panels and uses a Spiderman action figure to point out the different tools and materials needed.

It mainly focuses on well-made, expensive collectibles and producing unique figures custom ordered by a client. Very thorough explanations.
