Ow

Yeah I’m still sensitive to weather changes: woke up at 2:30 AM, unable to sleep until I gave up and took melatonin at 3:30. Emailed [personal profile] myrialux to say not to wake me up until 10AM, but at 8:30 a text from a friend woke me up and I had one hell of a headache. So I got up anyway to take Excedrin. And looked at the weather to find thunderstorms are predicted today, which seems to correlate quite well with sleep troubles and bad headaches upon waking.

Anyway! So this post isn’t entirely me complaining, here’s a couple of YouTube channels I have been loving recently.

Beryl Shereshewsky
https://youtube.com/@BerylShereshewsky

Trying foods from around the world. Her usual video format is themed (breakfasts, comfort food, cheese, deep frying, etc.): she shows 4-6 video clips sent by viewers describing a dish that fits the theme and what it means to them and their culture. Beryl then makes the recipe and tries it on camera, giving her reactions. She is utterly delightful, in part because she likes just about EVERYTHING. And even in the rare event she doesn’t like something she finds something good to say about it. She occasionally does videos of recipes involving foods she doesn’t like to see if she can find a preparation that she likes—bitter melon was the one I watched recently. Recommend when you need to see people around the world excited to share their cultures with others. Warning: you will get hungry.

Let’s Game It Out
https://youtube.com/@LetsGameItOut

A channel wherein a guy named Josh takes on simulator games and plays them in ways that were not intended by the developers. He finds ways to break them, ways to exploit them, ways to crash the game. His favorite thing is to ask “Is there a limit?” and then see: can you build a tornado of conveyor belts, can you hire one million workers, can you spawn an endless amount of boxes? He has endless patience in doing this, too. I’m not getting across how funny he is, but frequently [personal profile] myrialux and I end up gasping for breath because we’ve been laughing so hard. I’d suggest searching his channel for his SimAirport video and the earliest video on his Hydroneer playlist and watching those. If you like them, don’t worry: there’s an almost inexhaustible supply of other videos.

Sympathies about weather/headache.

Let's Gaem It Out dude sounds like he should be on a QC team at a video game company EXCEPT I bet this is more fun and probably makes him more money if he's doing it right. XD
