Love the vibes of this channel. My favorite series of his is the “Unremarkable and Odd Places in ___”. He basically finds liminal space type places in popular video games and shows them off, and then muses about life for a while. As someone who barely plays video games, I still find the videos entertaining and oddly comforting. Overall it’s a very chill time.

AnyAustin is great, Memoria (her and AnyAustin have a podcast together) also makes really videos - she made one recently about a guy that made loads of games by himself when he was in his 70’s in the mid-2000’s

I love any austin! I love how he focuses on incredibly mundane parts of mostly well-known games. He has a series on unemployment rates in game cities, including games in the Mario and elder scrolls Franchises, etc. It seems like such a counter-intuitive thing to focus on when most people make essays about the genre-definining writing, or the first-of-their-kind graphics, or whatever. But it feels like such a nice corner of video media where things don't have to be new and serious- at the same time, his videos feel very genuine, not like they're trying to be overly ironic

this channel has become my fav on youtube. it's just a sweet little autistic man (he loves updating his audience about his special interest in trains) who makes long form video podcasts about obscure topics and historical events. his whole energy is very Nardwuar mixed with Mr Rogers. he's also got some great perspective and insights and a lot of his videos leave on a very thought provoking note. his channel made me really nostalgic when I first found it and I realized it's because it gives early youtube vibes. i miss when most of youtube was pure little dinky passion projects like this.

1. BRENDAWARENESS: really cool and good for the fashion girlies. it is a smaller podcast channel by "Hashtag Brenda", she is big in fashion (she literally spent her birthday with Rick Owens). I call her my digital big sister. https://www.youtube.com/@brendahashtag 2. COLORLESS WONDERLAND: kinda booktube but for not horny people. he used to be a middle school teacher and he has very cool takes and analysis. he hasn't posted actively in a while but he's just overall really good vibes. https://www.youtube.com/@colorlesswonderland 3. PROFOUND PONDERING: this random guy who speaks very candidly about his mental health and is quite relaxing to listen to. https://www.youtube.com/@profoundpondering8575 4. WENDIGOON: does deep research on some really cool topics; everything from the bible to analogue horror, to chris mc candless. he is just really interesting to listen to, nd is def for the hyperfixation community https://www.youtube.com/@Wendigoon 5. FRANK WATKINSON: an old man who does very cute covers of songs which make me cry everytime. he also has original songs. he's been on youtube for like 10 years at least and loves sufjan stevens. https://www.youtube.com/@FrankWatkinson/videos 6. KERWIN FROST: this may be a bit rogue but he was my fav person when i was like 13 in 2018 and was like super into tyler the creator. Kerwin is a really cool DJ and his interviews are so fun to watch. he doesn't post much now but he has done interviews with young lean and dev hynes which rlly impacted me when i was younger and revisit from time to time https://www.youtube.com/@KerwinFrostTV 7. MYTHICAL KITCHEN (LAST MEAL): might just be my favourite series on the internet everrrr. a very talented chef called Josh hosts celebrity guests and chefs make their "death row meal". they've had guests like Karamo from queer eye, steve-o and tom hanks. https://www.youtube.com/@mythicalkitchen 8. BOOK CLUB RADIO: a dj collective in brooklyn, insane sets (personal favs: dj nico and varist) https://www.youtube.com/@bookclubradio 9. ARCHITECTUAL DIGEST (OPEN DOOR + SPACE SAVERS): i love looking at rich peoples houses, so cool. open house is a series where they go to celebrity houses, obvs so fun to watch. space savers is a series where 3 different architects get given a space and they get to draft whatever they want, the results are so cool! (darren jett is so cool) https://www.youtube.com/@Archdigest i hope you enjoyed the list mwahhh xoxoxox

any austin is a great channel for observing niche video game design elements. he's most known for doing the unemployment rates of all the cities in skyrim and pokemon, and those video series are great and i highly recommend them, but i didn't watch any of that in the last week. i watched this.

My favorite tracks: Jennifer’s Body She walks on me Plump …I’m still mad that Jennifer’s Body (2009) directed by Karyn Kusama did not include the song Jennifer’s Body from Hole! why they chose to put Violet in the credits instead is beyond me
