There's a lot of stuff about games, but also other topics. In the near future I expect I'll be writing more about NLP (the Machine Learning thing, not the other one), since that's my work, but I'm not strict about topics.
I guess this post about ghost characters is the most seasonal one, and it's one of my most popular.

@espercontrol#8453 itās not a personal blog per se, but I have some pretty personal writing in this! http://ourbroadcastday.com
I'm almost two months late, but I finally downloaded and read through all of the first issue (except for the anime guide).
I really enjoyed the Iron Chef essay.
@saddleblasters#12032 thank you!! the whole thing did not turn out as I hoped it did (turns out people donāt feel super obligated to turn things in if youāre only paying them based on how much the project makes!) but I still like the concept and I appreciate that you dug that piece.
I started writing about what games Iām playing on my website this year. Iām probably need to get a better url for this work, but for now it's at ryanzbone.com.
Iām messing around with the idea of making a for fun neocities website, but itās hard to decide what to actually do with it.

@devilsblush#17258 this kind of stuff would be pretty cool as a dynamic wallpaper for your desktop or phone!
I keep a little corner of the internet called Kimimi The Game-Eating She-Monster, because I am terrible at coming up with names. To date Iāve written about games on over thirty formats and about thirty-six years of gaming on there, so if you do pop on over thereās a reasonable chance you'll find something of interest (or at the very least an incredibly long article on one of the Resident Evils).
The aim there, as I try everywhere, is not to share facts so much as feelings - to enthuse and excite (or explain why a game does neither of those things). There's plenty of spaces online that'll tell you how many games came out on the PC-FX or exactly when Squaresoft published Racing Lagoon, but so very few make an attempt to express why you should care. I don't know if I succeed in my general goal, but that's the aim anyway.
@Kimimi#19072
Huge fan of your site! Your enthusiasm for these games definitely comes through in each article.
@vmu_beep#19104 Thank you for saying so!
@Kimimi#19072 Also just wanted to say thanks for your amazing siteāyour knowledge of video game esoterica may only be surpassed by your boundless enthusiasm! Glad that you are on the forumāalso, that Chrystal Chronicles DSi I saw on Twitter is sweet and definitely belongs among the list of favorite console color variants!
@kory#19117 Thank you! I try my best 
@Kimimi#19072 dang i just read your Suikogaiden I write-up. thatās as far as i know the only real article on the game on the entire internet?? i guess i havenāt checked in a few years but i remember being hungry for info on it ca. ā¦ 2010 i think and there was like nothing. people on the suikosource forums would have Nash avatars, which made me jealous
would like to get through them eventually. anyway great write-up~
Oh, hay! I write at https://civilfritz.net/, and I also have some short reviews up at https://www.grouvee.com/user/anderbubble/reviews/.
@tapevulture#19165 Oh that's a little sad - both Suikogaidens deserve more recognition than what I can give them! Happy to hear you enjoyed it though - thank you for reading!
i started doing a podcast a few months ago with a pal. the basic idea is we arbitrarily pick a game and decide if it's [movie preview guy voice] āone of the best games of all timeā
we mainly did it to take ocarina of time down a peg but since then we've also done hades, doki doki literature club, the recent zelda hyrule warriors game and katamari damacy. the episodes seem to me to be somehow getting worse but it's still pretty fun.
the best thing about my podcast is, due to me being a dumb ass who doesn't know how to use imovie, when i made videos for uploading the episodes to youtube, the drawing of sonic in our logo slowly scrolls down for some reason, meaning you can pause it and drag the playhead forward and backward to make sonic peek up over the bottom edge of the screen. very cool

In around 2007 I made a dumb anime site that's basically anime-gif hampsterdance.
It's whatever .gifs I could find of dancing anime characters with the song from Knight Lamune & 40 Fresh. It's extremely cringe but also there's a part of me that's a little proud of it, so I try to make sure it stays online.
reviving this a lil due to support from the āintroduce yourselfā thread!
most recently, a friend and i published a [small pathfinder expansion](https://spoonbendergames.itch.io/halosendofsanctuary), as a way to help bolster the re-release of an album of ours (lol hubris) in a setting that i'd been developing to write stories in, basically.
the small-ish pitch is: decades previous to the game's events, chaos magic has been empirically "solved" as a science, and integrated into the various intersecting military industrial complexes of the world. this leads to a global, decades-long arms race which threatens to tear apart observable reality. the story deals with regular people in post-collapse america attempting to rally change through direct action and deal with the far-reaching consequences of things they cannot control. it's vaguely inspired by twin peaks, silent hill, roadside picnic, and of course, leftist revolutionary thought.
i also make records. [this](https://thundergloss.bandcamp.com/album/halos) is the one which is thematically connected to the game described above (spacey rock music), and [this](https://soundcloud.com/user-192097177/sets/light-spells/s-GNRGv) is the one that isn't out yet (confrontational electronic music) but is probably better- it's about car crashes. i also made an [animated music video](https://youtu.be/-6Zq861S0-c) for that unreleased record too, also not out yet lol.
anyways, that's a lot! thanks for reading. reading previous posts in this thread has definitely got me inspired, there are some wildly creative people here and that rules.
@anderbubble#19183
I've never heard of grouvee before. How do you like it?
I used to 'rate' my games over on Glitchwave, as I was a regular RateYourMusic user, but there didn't seem to be much of a userbase. I've recently moved my stuff over to Backloggd, which I've been enjoying (here: https://www.backloggd.com/u/thepaloalto/ ).
Always interested in other places to see small blurbs though.
@palo#27859 Grouvee is pretty cool. There seems to be a pretty active community, though I'm certainly not one of the more active members. I wish they had a published REST api, though, so I could automate the management of my shelves.
