Ein kurzer Rückblick auf das letzte Jahr auf der großen Leinwand (und dem etwas kleineren Fernseher)

Morning Folks. This morning, I dive down a bit of a guilty pleasure rabbit hole as I talk about the YouTube channels that were important to me in 2025. I watch a lot of YouTube, or more specifically, I have videos playing in the background while I do other things. These channels are ones that I rarely miss.

It is finally time for me to talk about the #Games that were important to me as part of my #2025InReview series. I am pretty certain, though, that my list looks nothing like most of the best games lists, but these were games and game events that were important to me personally.

2025 in Review: The Games - Tales of the Aggronaut

This morning I finally talk about the games that were important to me in 2025 during my Year in Review series.

I already posted two #YearInMusic posts (my #2025InReview stats from #spotify and #listenbrainz ) using my #pixelfed account (as #mastodon only supports four images per post and I had more images to share - so if you are interested in those just visit the website of that account - otherwise your mastodon site (or app) won't show all images :/ ).

Just now I unexpectedly found another #music stat for last year, from #bandcamp - as usually I recognize: I should use bandcamp more often :D But yeah, another #yearinreview post, with regards to music.

Enjoy :)

Morning Folks! This morning, I am continuing my #2025InReview series, this time talking about the #movies that impacted me for some reason. I also do something a bit experimental, where I recorded a really quick one-shot, unedited narration track after finishing with the post.

Let me know if that is something you dig.

For those that don't like math, this house was built in 1850!

This amazing home featured a fresh 2020s renovation, tons of space, and an upstairs balcony with tremendous view of the creek winding through acres of land.

All just a few minutes from downtown Centerville!

Good Morning, folks... even though I have already posted a bunch today. This morning on the blog, I am continuing my #2025InReview series, and this time I am talking about the #television and #anime series that I liked and disliked enough to talk about last year.

2025 In Review: The Series - Tales of the Aggronaut

This can be seen as a follow up to yesterday's post where I shared my Spotify Wrapped. As someone who is a fan of statistics, I soon missed Last.fm, which I quit some years a go, for a couple of reasons, with the most important one being they had two data breaches, which they tried to hide, and only admitted, once the passwords where available in databases on the darknet. Thanks, last.fm! Oh, and thanks again!

Someone who doesn't care the slightest bit about your data but wants to collect it all, is someone you shouldn't support. But whom am I telling this on the #fediverse?

The cool thing: Once I started missing it, a couple of year ago, I started looking for an alternative and found one in #listenbrainz - it's basically the same as last.fm, but it's community driven, open source, and your data belongs to you (you can donwload everything in JSON format, if you want to).

Plus, it is liked to #musicbrainz and uses the DB that many applications already use for tagging their music (open source and commercial alike!), and that is also community driven.

The great thing about listenbrainz, though: You can scrobbel from most open source applications you might use; so for me CDs and .opus files are automatically scrobbled. Plus, I have a clever player that also plays from a couple of online sources which also get scrobbled in turn: YouTube, BandCamp, SoundCloud. And there is support for Spotify as well. And last but not least: You can even manually scrobble, which I use for my Vinyl listens (whenever I don't forget :-) ).

As you can see the image generation is not always the best, but it's actually a website, that you can share, like this: https://listenbrainz.org/user/pygospa/year-in-music/2025/

The cool thing are the interactive parts, like the world map, where you can click the countries, etc. And if you missed my last years, just scroll back to those years.
