Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?

    Demoscene stuff. Basically just digital art written for fun and to show off your coding skills. People have been doing it since the Amiga. If you’ve ever pirated software in the 90’s to 00’s, you’ve probably seen a realtime animation and mod-based techno track accompany the keygen - that’s an example of Demoscene art.

    I can’t find anyone in the US, not even one of the nerds that works in tech with me, who gives a single shit about this stuff. There are parties and conventions all the time, none of them in North America…

    I’m traveling to Germany at the end of March to go to a Demoparty just for the chance to meet a single other person who cares. It should be fun.

    I made my own prod discovery service if you ever want to check it out: https://prods.page/ (Yes, I need to update it).
