I just found 'Album Affairs' on YT because of their Boards of Canada video. They did a really good job explaining the nostalgic love for this band from people like myself. His voice is super chill, and has a lot more videos for other musicians too!

a truly amazing and underrated channel making vibey playlists (and sometimes video essays) on classic videogame music. he doesn’t just have the music, either - he typically puts the music in historical context and sometimes also has an interview with the composers.
it’s honestly so wholesome because the people who scored the childhoods of thousands of people throughout the 1990s usually had no idea that their work would have such wide impact - sometimes getting the interview call from gst is the first indication they’ve ever had that they had any impact at all. he’s so thorough and thoughtful

I found this channel years ago. I guess it's a music performance club at a prestigious Japanese research university but the material they choose to cover is very eclectic. The five most recent sets they have uploaded cover the material of: The Mars Volta, Mineral, Weezer, Emerson Lake and Palmer, & Dystopia. I watch this videos when I'm bummed out a lot, they are incredibly endearing.

A calm British lad nerds out over retro handheld gaming devices. This is what I put on when I want to turn my brain off.

Discovering new music as a teenager through those late-night bumps felt like uncovering hidden treasures from a world I never knew existed because our family didn't have a computer I could hop onto at any willing time. The way they engaged with us made the network feel personal because it didn’t treat us like passive viewers. Instead of just putting things on TV and calling it a day, they acknowledged that obscure media existed and wanted to share it with us. It felt intentional, like they were curating something special, and that’s what made every night an experience worth tuning in for.

Fire Emblem Echoes if you're looking into TurnBased RPGs. It's a remake of the original Fire Emblem Gaiden NES game but more modernized of course.
I'm aging myself here but personally I like it because it feels like a classic Fire Emblem game as opposed to the newer games where they go into a Persona-style route :(.
