Animes
- Kaiba - trippy avant-garde memories shit. I love the character artstyle and the soundtrack. Also one of the rare things made in 2008.
- Serial Experiments Lain - trippy computer (computer!! :DD) shit.
- Girl's Last Tour - slice of life about two girls in a post-apocaliptic land. Sadly the anime never got an end.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion - i didn't like the End of Evangelion tho, didn't make any sense to me, different from the canon ending, which i liked (Parabains!)
Games
- Celeste - Great level design, great artstyle, great soundtrack. This game is perfect, a masterpiece!
- Hollow Knight - Some say it's the best Metroidvania out there. It has absolutely no oversights. I love this game to the point of trying mods and Pantheon of Hallownest All Bindings. I even made some posts here about it. Sadly I lost the magic, like I have with Celeste, from playing so much trying Pantheon of Hallownest All Bindings.
- Portal & Portal 2 - Great puzzle games and great story. Don't forget to also check out the mods Portal Stories: Mel where you think outside the box and Portal Reloaded where you think with time travel.
Movies
- Time Trap - I like the scene where she gets out and there's the spaceship in the sky. Didn't like the end though, like what do you mean they didn't get traumatized from all that?
Music
Artists
- Koronba - How do i begin saying about this man... He is a rare gem that I found back when I played osu!. His music is incredible. I love iofnrru Tn zeduaiolqs Ryegen and Etgrre. Some of you may know him as the author of LcdDem. He has some lore, there's a guy named ころんば0号 who documented everything about him, but it's in japanese. [Spoiler] Very very very sadly he's not with us anymore (in the internet or irl, we will never know). There are many tributes/imitations to/of him, I have a playlist with some of them that I found. He made me find so many great artists like とりぴよ, x0o0x, 全てあなたの所為です/Imitate Community, Speder2 (who's probably just Koronba), 2gou (who's probably just Koronba), Kaku P-Model/Susumu Hirasawa, Mr. Asyu, にす (made some MADs that gained a huge ton of views, and something in me says he started it all but idk), Geolyte Meteos (Animal Crossing MAD guy), さしゃまる (Minecraft MAD guy), and probably others I forgot. He got me into Vocaloid and UTAU.
- BASED RETARD GANG - Their mixes(?) are so good! I love them. Makes me happy.
Albums
- Hollow Knight Piano Collections - Sealed Vessel gave me shivers, but you need a good earbud of course.
- Portal Soundtrack - Some extremely eerie tracks and some banger breakcores. Other than the breakcores, I like No Cake For You as well.
- Portal 2 Soundtrack - Cool electronic mixed with natural sounds. They have an artstyle that I've rarely seen replicated, only in one or two musics. I remember I think I found one in osu! which had this vibe, it was Figue Folle by Igorrr & Ruby my dear (had to dig my profile for this), but I think i've seen others but don't remember.
Singles
- Helblinde - Putin's Boner - another gem I found on osu!
- Christopher Larkin - Pale Court - White Palace is already good, now a live session? Damn. I still keep wondering what happened to the Pale Court album that was promised.
- Christopher Larkin - Lace - Seems like a live session as well. Christopher Larkin is on another level. Silksong is gonna be great.
- Depeche Mode - Light - Depeche Mode is great overall, but this one is special.
Videos
- 【太鼓の達人】 彁 (Movie:Fiz) - The best glitch animation you'll ever see
Food
- Cheese bread - It can be hard to find a good one tho. Luckily I have a supermarket next to my home that sells big good ones.
- Pudding - I mean this pudding. This is the best sweet ever
- Zezé Folhado Doce - Brazilians reading this, search for this biscuit in your local markets. This is so good you eat the entire package in 2 days, but it can be hard to find.
Places
- Bombinhas - SC - Cool place to see some bulls in the hills, eat some fish by the beach. I have a handful of good memories of this place. I love beaches in general.
Software
- Furnace - Tracker that can play PC Speaker natively, but has many other features. I think it's a fork of DefleMask. It's extremely customizable.
- Nicotine+ - Soulseek FOSS client. Want Lossless FLACs? This is the way, but there's also many other things here. It's like a qBitTorrent with a search function. I found the Hollow Knight Wanderer's Journal and the Hollow Knight Piano Collections here.
- Vim - One of the best text editors out there for sure. This site was entirely made in Vim. It is extremely powerful if you can learn it, but it's impossible to master it. It's one of those things where you're always finding new features. Now that I've learned it, I don't know how I'd live without it. It's extremely customizable, has support for substitutions, macros, plugins and many other things. For example I just did a macro on links.html to turn paragraphs (
<p>
) into list items (<li>
) and just typed@@
in every paragraph to turn the entire page into list items, and I just changed a link in a href to another by doingdi""+P
inside the quotes, and I can navigate extremely fast withF
