How do you go about researching?

Gathering new information at the beginning of a project can be very important and takes a lot of work to do effectively. It nearly always pays of in the end though!

Do you enjoy tackling research, or is it something you like to get out of the way quickly? Are there any sources you find yourself using a lot, or any that you find particularly reliable? Leave any links to good sources for other people to check out below, regardless of the topics they address!

Personally, I find that I really enjoy doing research, given that the topics are things I have some level of interest in. Learning new things is exciting, and being able to use that new knowledge to create something just adds to that feeling for me. I find it's good for expanding upon your collection of random trivia pieces too, haha!
I don't have any go-to sources though, I usually find myself picking bits and pieces from all over the place. I do make a habit of checking several sources though, that saved me a couple of times =v=;;
