Friends Of Echo
These are the websites of people I'm friends with! They're all really cool and you should check out
their stuff!
Other Cool Folks
I know these folks on a scale from "never spoken" to "said hi at a convention once", but I still
want to share their websites here because you should check out their work! I've followed all of them
for a long time on other sites and they're all really cool and great at what they do.
Music
You should buy music, because streaming sucks for everybody! Start with these folks:
Browser Demoscene
Here are a couple of really cool websites that push the limits of what you can do in a browser,
while also being great pieces of art:
YouTube Channels
Here are some small-to-medium sized YouTube channels that I really like and I think more people
should know about!
Small Channels
- Vimlark, who has lots of game jam devlogs that are really fun
to have on in the background while working on projects
- Sage the Bad Naturalist, who has lots of interesting
things to say about stuff like wet rocks, mycology, seasons, and beavers
- Big Yellow, who makes videos about topics like
competitive Pokémon, the unplayable boss characters in fighting games, and the history of specific
Lego pieces and colors
- Punchy, who is mainly a streamer, but also makes the
occasional deep dive into old Japanese media, horror game speedruns and challenge runs, or really
strange RPGs
- Travis McEnery, an amateur arachnologist who has a
talent for showing spiders as something to be curious about and respectful of, rather than afraid
of
- Jimmy McGee, who has lots of interesting things to say
about the businesses around video games and the ways they try to maximize their profits
- Shonalika, a non-binary video essayist and synthpop
musician who talks about gender, disability, race, and media
Bigger Channels
- 8-Bit Music Theory, who breaks down and analyzes video
game music in a bite-sized format that illustrates single musical ideas really effectively
- Cathode Ray Dude, who makes incredibly thorough deep
dives into old technology
- Farya Faraji, who talks about musical traditions from all
over the world
