Vlog Ep. 106: TGIF Randomness

Last night's #BaduyPride started without an actual topic or plan but ended up being a really enjoyable hangout with many of the more regular Baduy Pride viewers. It was that weird case of not knowing what to talk about but wanting some sort of a social experience to kick off the weekend properly. 

We did cover a few things like all the big Disney/Marvel/Star Wars announcements made earlier that day and various random bits of pop culture news. We tried to cover some of the shows that we had been watching as of late and other bits of relevant news that we felt sharing. I totally lost track of everything we talked about over the 3+ hours of the live stream, but it did help us feel a little better after the busy work week. 

While we chose today's topic, we're always open to suggestions! If you have ideas for future video discussions, feel free to fill out this Google Form and your idea may be featured as the focus for an episode!

Vlog Ep. 105: LGBT Movies and Shows

Today's #BaduyPride episode was all about those LGBT movies and TV shows that have stuck with us the most over the years. Whether they're outright favorites or just have a special place in our hearts, we did our best to cite different titles of interest with an admittedly obvious slant towards older movies. 

What a time to be alive though that it feels like there's new LGBT content out there every single day. And not just foreign stuff, but a lot of local productions as well. It wasn't always like this and I hope everyone appreciates how far we've come even though we still have a long way to go.

Vlog Ep. 104: Digital Decluttering

Today's #BaduyPride episode demonstrated how our viewers are obsessed with the way we organize our lives as tonight we talked about digital decluttering. Not sure if the original request was expected to go in the direction we did since we ended up talking about a bunch of different digital solutions for organizing this and that.

It should come as no surprise that I'm a big Google person and I've gotten Tobie onboard with a lot of Google solutions over the years, which is inevitable when you live together with someone for so long. So it's funny how a lot of this episode sounds like one long ad for Google products - but it's for good reason. They really make it easy to better organize one's files and such with all their cloud solutions. And I'm oddly excited about getting started on a Google One plan once I need the storage.

Vlog Ep. 103 Competitive Tourism with Tokaido

Since we talk about board games on Monday nights, today's #BaduyPride was all about one of the most beautiful games we own - Tokaido! This travel game is somehow both very zen in mood but also very tight in terms of gameplay and always makes for a game experience that is fulfilling on many levels. 

The game really does celebrate the joys of travel. The fact that one scores points by buying souvenirs, visiting temples, enjoying hot springs, and eating good food, each game has players crafting a story based on their journey. And the many different characters make for varied gameplay options and other excellent gaming moments.

Vlog Ep. 102: Life Milestones

Today's episode of #BaduyPride ended up being surprisingly memorable - which I suppose was fitting as we were talking about different life milestones. While it took us a while to figure out what definition we wanted to work with in terms of what makes something a milestone and not just a goal or a niche experience, but the engaging comments from viewers helped us relax and just roll with things more.

And also, #FistKiss is now a thing. That and a potential International Cake Day episode slated for July 2021.

General conclusions include the fact that milestones can be positive or negative and aren't necessarily mandatory for everyone. Sometimes they're rather aspirational and in other cases, their potential is limited by other factors like one's economic reality or social status. But ultimately one can learn from them or maybe just pass through them and move forward keeping them in mind.
