A lot of the media I've consumed recently is either from the past or throwbacks to the past. Maybe that makes me lame and backwards, i don't care. The modern day sucks balls.
Games:
Ghost of Tsushima.
And a lot of retro stuff.
I played through all the Doom games recently.
Right now Im playing Duke Nukem 3d.
Also have a lot of fun with difficult indie stuff with a retro feel.
The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Enter The Gungeon spring to mind.
Books:
A few years back when I got into reading again it started with classic Sci Fi. Especially a lot of Phillip K. Dick.
Eventually that morphed into cyberpunk. Most recently I read William Gibson's Sprawl Trillogy and Snow Crash. Snow Crash is especially fun if you can get over some of the stuff that feels a little cheesy now. Gotta keep in mind when these books were written this stuff was new. They inspired a lot of stuff and when something feels like an overdone cyberpunk/vr trope you gotta view it in the context that these books were the inventors that were later copied.
I can also recommend the first Altered Carbon book. Havent read the others yet.
Music:
I've always loved metal but these days I'm obsessed with Synthwave, Vaporwave, Darksynth, etc. So many awesome artists to recommend here but off the top off my head Gunship, Perturbator, and Carpenter Burt are definitely worth checking out.
Movies:
I've been watching old 80's action and horror movies. And 90's Sci-Fi.
I'm collecting my favorites on dvd/bluray so I have a physical copy when we inevitably get to the point where you can't buy physical media anymore and old media is either edited or dropped from streaming services entirely for offending some loser.
On youtube I'm subbed to so much various stuff, but sticking with the theme of everything else I've listed ... lately I've been getting a lot of nerdy enjoyment out of channels like LGR and Techmoan that take a look at old computers and media players. Certainly not for everyone, but it interests me.
