Someone I was listening to recently said "you are a product of what you consume" (sadly, I forget who), and I think that's pretty accurate. I watch a lot of videos from other creatives in worldbuilding/GMing space. I read a ton of TTRPG blogs. I look at a bunch of indie ttrpgs and how they've done things... and together it keeps me thinking of new inspiration.
I'm sure, like everything in life, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, but if you're not consuming the media you want to make, I would start there.
That's actually pretty good advice. Might be why I think the way I do. (Buried in code a good chunk of the day.)
haha same dude! My day job is programming, but I try to keep a podcast or youtube vid about D&D or Worldbuilding on as background noise. Sometimes I have to go back after work to re-listen as I can't focus on the media while I'm fixing whatever is breaking (I do a loooot of devops), but it's still nice to have on.
For podcasts lately I've been listening to https://worldbuildingformasochists.podbean.com/
And I bounce around between solo-ttrpg plays on YT and more focused/better produced stuff that is more 5e-oriented (with a bunch of good worldbuilding splashed in) such as https://www.youtube.com/@Mystic-Arts-DM.
There's a ton of great content out there though, but I thought I'd at least send ya what I've really been enjoying recently. Gets you a couple things to start with and see if they resonate.
