Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.

A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn't seem to have done anything reactionary, he's got a personality far beyond "the algorithm", and he doesn't associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.

I sense a theme here (no shade)

Lol, yeah...they all basically check some or all of these boxes for me:

  • Figuring out how things work/solving puzzles
  • Programming
  • Sticking it to the man (e.g. by taking their proprietary code and transforming it into something the people can use freely)
  • Video games

I barely even play games these days, but I did a lot as a kid so I think that's why it's a comfy substrate for me. And since romhacking/game decompilation checks all of those boxes, I can't get enough of it. None of my friends are remotely into this stuff, so to the internet I must go!

I play stormworks and no one I know does. I had a friend play with me for a bit, but tapped out once we started touching LUA and PIDs.
