Time Team. It's one of my all-time favorite TV shows. It was (and sort of is) a British archaeology TV show where real archaeologists have three days to uncover information about a site, usually in Britain. It was on for over 20 years. Most of the episodes are on YouTube.
AND YET I CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH!
programming problems, retro tech stuff, music in depth (e.g. theory level), star trek, half-life and mother series
I personally love both Half-Life and the Mother series! Still eagerly waiting for HL3 or Project Borealis. I should replay Mother 3 some time... Haven't done Earthbound actually, that should probably go first!
play it. please!
Currently? GURPS. It's such a fascinating TTRPG. On one hand, it's extremely simple (roll 3d6 ≤ skill level + modifiers). On the other hand, it has an encyclopedic catalogue of skills and modifiers to accommodate anything from cavemen to reality-warping future civilizations. If you want, it can be extremely gritty and detailed, more than whatever you're thinking of right now; or dead simple and narrative driven
The ridiculous breadth of options make it look really complicated, so people get intimidated. I think I'm it's hard for people to wrap their head around just how optional all the granular rules are.
Tolkien Lore. And WWI.
Well don't keep us waiting, tell some!
Tolkien Lore Quick Fact:
Technically speaking Aragorn married his first cousin 65+ times removed.
WWI Quick Fact:
While thought of as a defensive struggle that lead to stalemates, generals at the time weren’t necessarily wrong to keep up the attack. Both sides were able to capture ground. Including enemy trenches. The issue was that neither side could bring reinforcements or supplies up to support those breakthroughs and keep the offensive going faster than the defenders could.
Are you familliar with the imgurian Ngugi? I could read that stuff for hours on end.
... not the same as proper discussions with likeminded people, but still super interesting IMHO.
I was not. Thats awesome. Thanks for sharing!
The parents who misunderstood intermittent punishment and created a generation of kinksters. Woohoo.
Digital mixers. I know a lot of people who use them and know them but very few know how they work internally which is fascinating and interesting and the only people who do are under NDA's
What's digital mixers? Music production mixer?
Yeah
