Doing a quick one of these because every other month there’s a post on Bluesky that goes viral about how the old internet was better and doesn’t exist anymore. This isn’t true! You can still post on forums, use RSS, and start blogs. In fact, I would argue that all of these stuff is easier to do than ever. Anyway, here’s some websites.
Comics
Rachel is doing Brain Comics again after a long hiatus.
Looking for more comics? Why not Power Cat
Music
Did you know the Ann Arbor District Library has a blog that regularly covers local music and has a RSS feed? I didn’t know about the feed until recently. Here’s their latest roundup of local music.
Still a big fan of the Morning Music blog, which regularly posts about songs I never heard before.
Technology
Computer Chronicles Revisited writes about a very, very early episode, thought to be lost, where they talk about the Logo language, which I was unaware of until now.
I agree with schledorn, CGA is great.
Video Games
After being down for a few months, The Video Game Soda Machine Project is back up. Come look at thousands of pictures of soda machines in video games going all the way back to the early 80’s.
The Video Game History Foundation freed Cookie’s Bustle! If you ever want to hear about how no one could ever stream or upload videos of the game Cookie’s Bustle and what the VGHF did to fix that, I recommend reading that.
WilcoWeb has been doing an outstanding job documenting every Space Quest fan game, including some incredibly obscure ones like Roger Wilco vs Buzz Buzzer Bizz.
I always love to see a new blog or website starting. The Bo-Zone will be reviewing games that streamer BogusMeatFactory plays and recapping his thoughts, starting with Inca.
Syl has another indie game roundup. Read these! They’re a billion times better than mine.
Renkon recaps their own post better than I ever could so I’ll just copy that. “Why does everyone in HawaiĘ»i speak Japanese? For the same reason everyone only ever talks about the latest AAA video games, which is to say: to experience reality, you need to leave your bubble and talk to other people.“
Writing
Grayson goes into the history of the forgotten horny conventioneers joke on I Might as Well Explain the Joke.
I also highly recommend following or subscribing to The Bathysphere. It’s a weekly blog of roundups and essay writing. It’s usually focused more on games but they talk about plenty of things. Their latest is Expedition 49.
That’s it for today. I hope you found a new website to add to your RSS feed reader and are having a nice weekend.
