modern railroad magazines seemingly the only genre still going somewhat strong
Game informer was good but it got canceled by game stop, went independent for a few months, and then went bankrupt 🙃
I think Popular Science still puts out issues? That's where I first heard about Raspberry Pi and such a few years back there's usually something interesting in each issue. The Atlantic is decently leftist albeit annoyingly liberal at times. National Geographic is a reliable go-to.
There are actually a couple fiction magazines still running. Cemetery Dance was always one of my favorites but it seems they hardly put out an issue or two a year these days, Clarkesworld, Albert Hitchcock/Ellery Queen, Asimov, and Science Fiction & Fantasy pulp mags are certainly still produced and you can find overpriced lit mags nearby them usually with plenty of pretentious fluff in them haha.
I have a print subscription to The Baffler but I only read the articles digitally. and they're cutting back from six print issues a year to five
these were three of the four I was going to cite. The fourth is Games World of Puzzles
i have not actually bought it but i saw this online a few days ago and it looks cool https://lgyshop.myshopify.com/products/blag
there's a great episode of decoder ring about bookazines for what we have now instead
oh THOSE things, they're so weird. i could make my own, way better bookazines...
oh man i wish i was a hacker. i feel like i wouldnt get the full effect if i subscribed hehe. cool to hear they're still around
I remember liking Make back when I was subscribed to them, not sure how they're doing now
running joke on trashfuture is that riley subscribes to a lot of magazines, partly because trade magazines can be a good source of leads for tech bullshit, but also for all his fancy boy hobbies like "decanter magazine"
