    The Hidden History of Bandanas - history via textiles. There is more quality stuff on this channel in the same vein.

    How the World's Finest Scissors are Handmade - the internet's favourite blacksmith (I dunno, Tom Scott called him that once) visits a scissor factory.

    Print-wave Metal Casting - really smart approach to the 3D-print-to-metal-casting process. Sadly I don't have an FDM printer to try this on, but I'm sure I could come up with a method for DLP with a bit of thought.

    Making a D10 Spinner - Attoparsec is, imo, a rather under-subscribed maker-of-random-stuff youtuber. This is their best build so far, a magnet powered not-a-dice dice. I really, really want one and I don't even play the kind of that commonly use dice.

    On The Rob angry silly shouty gutter-punk. Hard to disagree with their ethics though.

    This is the best version of the tablecloth-pull trick and I will accept no alternatives

    Every Frame a Painting just dropped a teaser trailer for a short film called The Second. If you've never heard of the channel they made really insightful critiques of films and filmmaking techniques until 2017 when they dropped off the face of the earth. Then, out of nowhere, 7 years later they come out of the woodwork with this. I'm stoked to say the least!

    London’s Abandoned Subway System YouTube – Faultline – 28th June 2024

    London’s Abandoned Subway System

    There is an abandoned railway network underneath London but it wasn’t part of the London Underground. It had one purpose to move mail across London as quickly as possible. The Post Office Railway (The Mail Rail) didn't just deliver mail within London but across the whole world. But at its peak in 2003, the whole network suddenly shut down and was abandoned. Overnight this railway went from delivering 4 million items a day to zero.

    Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure - The Struggles of Song Translation | Localization Lens by @Aquason

    There are many complicated fields of translation, but when it comes to art, there's very few forms quite as restrictive as translating songs. Mix the formal constraints of ultra-strict poetry with all the functional constraints of expression, and you get song translation. And what happens when this song is not just an anime opening theme or something non-diegetic, but a vital aspect of the story, like... a musical? Well, the Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a perfect game to explore that, with its highs and lows showing just how complicated song translation can be.

    Finding Aquason's channel is the only time I can remember seeing someone self-promote on Reddit, being interested enough to click through and watch, and enjoying their content so much I subscribed. I really enjoy the perspectives they highlight in their essays on game localization.
