I started playing Odd Giants, a fan remake of Tiny Speck’s Glitch, my favorite game of all time. I haven’t done a ton in it yet but it looks really promising.
I decided not to let Elon Musk ruin Iain Banks books for me and reread Player of Games. I was surprised at how affecting it was, and how relevant.
I found Musopen a while back while looking for background music for some of my streams. There’s some nice royalty free recordings of various public domain classical music pieces. (Most classical music is in the public domain, but recordings aren’t.)
Jenny Nicholson has a new video out. It’s 4 hours and it’s about a Utah theme park you’ve never heard of but it’s great.
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, Friends at the Table released my favorite season for free. It’s called Bluff City, and it’s about a fictional Atlantic City told through a series of short games. It’s a really good jumping off place for Friends at the Table, which is my favorite podcast.
Michael Hobbes of Maintenance Phase and Peter of 5-4 have a new podcast, If Books Could Kill, about shitty airport books. The first episode is about Freakonomics, which I read at an impressionable age and later learned was full of shit, but I’ve never had it laid fully out before, and that was real useful for me.
