is it called “Seáns Bar” by any chance? 😁
a friend invited me to play a boardgame online, called Kingdomino. I really loved it, and since money is tight, I made my own copy of the tiles for in-person play.
They aren’t perfect by any means and it took a fucking age to do them, but it’s a playable version I can bust out with friends and family.
there’s some really great mini documentaries on YouTube above the Soviet internet of the 1960s, which would have taken over as the central planning committee and managed the supply and demand automatically. When you look at what it was supposed to be, and why it failed (a lot of people worked very hard to make sure it wouldn’t succeed) it’s really interesting stuff.
here’s one I watched recently enough about it; [https://youtu.be/cLOD5f-q0as?si=D8mVJiK603HPdgKY](Asianometry - Why the Soviet Internet Failed)
I think we must have a very similar viewing list.
My favorite thing about Adam Something is that he points out consistently that nearly all the big hyped “futurism” ideas for transport and infrastructure, are just solving problems that we have already solved using trains. except it’s always slower more costly and less efficient than a train.
For some other recommendations, specially about videogames, Civvie11 does reviews and playthrough of old FPS games (the boomer shooter, Doom and Quake generation). His videos are very entertaining.
Warlockracy is similar, but for CRPGs like the original fallout and various obscure, usually eastern European mods for them. He’s also extremely entertaining.
MandaloreGaming does a mix of old and new games, usually older, and goes into great detail about them and their development and he’s probably the most fair and honest reviewer I’ve ever seen. He reviews games he thinks are interesting so sometimes they’re obscure and sometimes they’re very popular oldies.
That’s exactly the one that came to mind first. He was able to cast a light on the self aggrandizing TED and TEDx talks that are so often full of hot air. It’s a really shame that so many fall into that pit of fascism and can never come out.
I agree with you here. I stumbled onto his video maybe 5 years ago or so and some of them were so bizarre and hilarious, and to find out now he’s deep in the alt-right, cryptofacist nutjob space is so disappointing.
While Denys can often provide good coverage on Ukraine, I suggest avoiding him, as at the outbreak of the situation in Gaza and Israel, he shared many videos of Palestinian kids and women running from artillery under the captions like “watch how the roaches scatter”.
They make those for runners, a kind of neoprene sleeve that holds your phone on your arm either outside or inside so you can use it while you run. They’re fairly easy to find.
As for pulling it off, you just have to wear it and not give a shit. that’s the secret to pulling it off.
Bobb fingers is also one half of the Irish musical comedy duo Rubberbandits. they’ve done some TV stuff and their music and wit is great.

This is amazing. I am in love with this site already. Thanks for sharing!
I’d love to find something like this for the SamsungOS tvs, or at least a locally hosted alternative adblocker. I get 3-4 ads per 10 minute video now and it’s endlessly frustrating.
I will absolutely check those out too, thanks for sharing!
I really love Interactive Fiction, this is definitely going on right on top of my to-play pile. Hopefully I can get it running with android as I’m in SE Asia ATM with no laptop/desktop. Eager to dive in!
What tools do you use to develop these games?
That’s a pretty common turn-of-phrase in Ireland, I remember hearing it in the early 90s!, and it’s still common to hear it from older generations too. I wouldn’t equate it with reddit slang/culture at all. I wonder when it made its way to reddit?
Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.
