    The fact that Diggy Diggy Hole exists is such a wonderful thing. It was fun to watch the original, and then various evolutions of it. Its what the internet should be instead of the corporate, pay to play garbage we have ended up with.

    Also Powerwolf and Wind Rose are just fun bands to listen to. Metal that doesn't take itself too seriously of great.

    Blind Guardian is another good one that makes songs inspired by fantasy. Their Wheel of Time album is pretty great.

      My wife discovered "Powerwolf" recently. Not death metal, per say, but I've yet to meet anyone else whose heard of it. Worse still, this lead her down a rabbit hole to Dwarf Metal and the accursed song Diggy Diggy Hole which has bored its way into my brain.

My personal favorite is Ride Into Obsession, which is sung from the point of view of one of the series' main antagonists, though the last section of the eponymous "Wheel of Time" is also a banger.

        My favorite thing in the whole world is dropping LSD, and listening to obscure music or watching weird shit...

        Dude I can't find ANYONE to hang out with me... I wave that flag in every social situation I find myself in. I really thought there would be more people into it.

        Well, that or I'm completely unbearable to hang out with. If that's the case I just wish people would tell me.

          200 is a lot of people for a mud. The only one I know of that's that big is aardwolf. Which do you play?

            I curate about 90 cartoons and almost as many indie animation channels to create a weekly block of Saturday morning cartoon programming for my wife and kid.

            I edit it together in kdenlive from files on my media server, and we stream it to my mini projector each weekend. Been going over a year now, only missing weeks when we're traveling. I would love to be able to share it with a wider audience, but I'm still not sure how, given it's all pirated.

              There's an Aztec city building game called Tlatoani. It's in early access, but has enough meat on the bone that it's one of my goto games.

              Out of curiosity I checked Steam DB for active player numbers. I have discovered at any given point I am 10% to 25% of the given player base BY MYSELF. I am 1 of 4 people playing this game right now in the world. With the prevalence of the internet I always assume whatever weird bullshit you're into there's at least a thousand people talking about it; making memes outsiders could never comprehend. It's actually novel to fly under the radar for once.

              What do you do that doesn't have a community associated with it?

                I ended up flipping through a bunch of Punch magazines from the 20's a bit ago, albeit just digitally. It was fascinating. You get a perspective that way that reading curated highlights and stories compiled afterwards just can't give you.

                Edit: I guess you actually have to specify 1920's now.

                I have a habit of looking at archive.org’s recently uploaded magazines because it is always cool to look at periodicals from a different time.

                Even things that seem unrelated to my interests at all end up being a riveting window into something unfamiliar!

                  I like to analyse stickers stuck on traffic lights and road signs.

                  I plan on making an app someday where people can contribute to a database of stickers and compare the sticker culture of different regions.

                    It's the highlight of my week. It's great to have culture in common with my kid and to get each others references. I also like to cook big breakfasts that day, lots of waffles, bellinis, fancy stuff, fresh fruits. Real bougie with it.

                          It lets me cut out any unnecessary credits or repetitive intros, and I have a little fun with commercial breaks sometimes. Once I put the Heinz automato robot video into the commercial break of a Mega Man cartoon. That got a big laugh.

                              Nice! I got about two remorts in, but haven't played in a while. It's a pretty solid mud.

                              I'll always have a soft spot for Project Bob, which I think shut down. Diablo-style items and a very fast paced combat system. Alas. Time marches on.

                                I have a lot of obscure interests, but not as obscure as yours.

                                • Finding former Pizza Huts in North America. It's just such an iconic building design. There's a documentary out now on them, but I've been fascinated for almost a decade now.

                                • Meshtastic

                                • John le Carré novels. He was huge decades ago, but basically nobody knows the name now besides Boomers and genre fans.

                                I've seen a bunch of old Pizza huts turned into Chinese food restaurants and I saw two that became small used car offices. They are always so easy to pick out. I legit loved old Pizza Huts with the sit down pacman machines being a common fixture when I was a kid.

                                  Blind Guardian was in an older PC action RPG Sacred 2. There was a whole quest to find their lost "weapons" (wand was a microphone, axe was a guitar, etc) and then there was a full in game video of them playing in front of orcs. I am not a particular fan of theirs, but it was so awesome.

                                      I really like this one MUD. I’m super casual. I guess about 200 people play. Which in the grand scheme of things is almost no one.

                                        I've been trying to find cool stuff on PeerTube. Sometimes it feels like wandering in the wilderness. I guess people really only do post cool stuff to YouTube for the money. I found this, though it was pretty cool. https://video.mycrowd.ca/w/8wu8fRidkbjQ1FK3zqo1Mp
