Do Most Podcasters Actually Need 32-Bit Float?

Why Old Internet Forums Felt More Human

Before social media feeds, algorithms, and endless scrolling, the internet felt different. Smaller. Messier. More personal. In Episode 2 of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores the strange emotional connection people still have to old internet forums - from recognizable usernames and chaotic communities to forum signatures, inside jokes, and the feeling of belonging to tiny digital neighbourhoods. Why did these spaces feel so human? And what did we lose when the internet became optimized for performance, visibility, and engagement instead of connection? From niche communities and message boards to the emotional texture of the early web, this episode explores why people still miss an internet that was slower, weirder, and more personal. Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t. GET INVOLVED If you enjoy Artifacts, you can support it with a one-off tip.

The Dreamcast Wasn’t Supposed to Matter This Much

The Dreamcast failed. At least, that’s the official version of the story. Released on 9/9/99, Sega’s final console lasted only a few short years before disappearing from store shelves forever. But decades later, people still talk about the Dreamcast with a kind of emotional reverence usually reserved for much bigger success stories. So why does it still matter so much? In the first episode of Artifacts, Danny Brown explores how the Dreamcast became more than just a game console - it became a symbol of optimism, experimentation, creativity, and a version of the future that never fully arrived. From Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi to online gaming over dial-up and the strange emotional power of failed technology, this episode explores why some artifacts stay with us long after they disappear. Because sometimes the objects fade. But the feeling doesn’t. GET INVOLVED If you enjoy Artifacts, you can support it with a one-off tip.
