From Doom to Minecraft: An Old Man's Game - Music Free Static (159)
From Doom to Minecraft: An Old Man's Game - Music Free Static (159)As an aging gamer, I have come to the realization that my taste in games has changed. I started with shooters (Doom, Dark Forces), combat flight sims (X-Wing, F-117, & F14 Tomcat), and sports games. These days, all of those have given way to Minecraft, Terraria, and story-based games like Horizon: Zero Dawn. And that's okay!Join me as talk about how my taste in games changed as I've gotten older.#Gaming #Aging #MusicFreeStatic #Gamer💲 Ads 💲- PROTON VPN is open source and independently audited to keep your traffic private and secure! https://go.getproton.me/SH1sC

The Imitation Game (2014) - Music Free Static (155)
Alan Turing was the father of modern computing. He and his team of cryptographers broke the Enigma encryption and helped the Allies win WWII. But there's more to Alan Turing than mathematical genius. Join me in this Really Late Movie Review of The Imitation Game which explores his work during the war as well as his troubled life afterwards.The Imitation Game is an amazing movie starting Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. It doesn't shy away from the societal issues of sexism and homophobia in the UK in the 1940s and 1950s but does so tastefully.#TheImitationGame #MovieReview #MusicFreeStatic #AlanTuring💲 Ads 💲- PROTON VPN is open source and independently audited to keep your traffic private and secure! https://go.getproton.me/SH1sC

From the high-energy auctions on Whatnot to the inescapable TikTok Shop, we break down why these platforms are essentially just QVC for a new generation.But the "everything old is new again" vibe doesn't stop at shopping. We’re also talking about the massive re-emergence of linear TV. Whether it’s the channel-surfing nostalgia of Tubi and Pluto TV or the curated streams on Disney+ and YouTube, we discuss why viewers are moving away from the "infinite scroll" of on-demand content and back toward the comfort of being told what to watch.Join us as we explore why the future of digital media looks surprisingly like the past.💲 Ads 💲- PROTON VPN is open source and independently audited to keep your traffic private and secure! https://go.getproton.me/SH1sC
