Different GLOG / OSR posters - This kind of is a given for everyone sharing these I guess? But I felt the need to state the obvious. I've been reading different blogs for about a decade or so at this point, made one like 7 years ago, and then have dipped in and out here and there due to being busy with life and a little nervous to put my work up and out there.
On the right I have a list of about ~100 or so blogs, probably not a complete list given some going dead / forgetting but it's the closest I could get. Please check some out in case you haven't! Each one has some form of nugget or useful info or thought which has stuck with me, and hopefully you can find something too.
Formative Things, Growing Up
- Vietnamese Catholicism, yet also Jesus Christ Superstar (specifically only the 1973 version)
- getting called zipperhead a lot; getting into a lot of fights
- that kid who would slam his head into the pavement until someone hung out with him
- cooking with family
- fuckin' BIONICLES were the shit
- Majora's Mask (if it was not super obvious)
- Star Trek TNG & DS9 (deeply, deeply flawed but there's warmth)
- Batman TAS
- Runescape (my brother always used to drag me along to play MMOs; and I would always play them "wrong" by just wandering around and not grinding)
- Life Is Beautiful (1997)
- Doctor Who (specifically watching the Tom Baker era with my dad on crappy tapes; but when the revival happened he also got discs of that as soon as he could)
- They Might Be Giants
- Kung Fu Hustle (and other iconic or crappy martial arts movies on crappy tapes)
- MST3K (riffing is one thing, but I feel like you also have to have an appreciation for the reach and attempt by B-Movie producers; feel the heart)
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Philosophical debates, specifically the real stupid kind you have in cars while driving around and killing time
- The Twilight Zone
- Things people would watch at 3 AM when they can't sleep, or old books that were left lying around, or half-remembered magazines from before you were born
Circa whatever, this is just becoming a random list of things I have consumed sorry
- Oingo Boingo, Cardiacs, etc (if anyone has suggestions for bands with this kind of sound please let me know)
- Yes, Khan, Eros, lots of other weird sorta prog or adjacent music
- Disco Elysium
- Twin Peaks
- Magic: the Gathering, but specifically only Mirrodin and it's sequel block only
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Dungeon Meshi
- Dorohedoro
- Dr. McNinja and other independent webcomics
- the works of Evan Dahm
- the From Software catalog
- Into the Breach
- Coen Brothers movies
- the Fargo TV Show
- Motorman by David Ohle, and related works
- The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem
