The next video I'll release will be a proper shock to the system.

My new video on PHANTASMAGORIA is out! I've been wanting to give this one a critical re-appraisal for a very long time, because it's genuinely one of the best FMV-Horror Thrillers of all time. Let's find out why! youtu.be/ioxXMGRXP08

Thanks, but I would rather rawdog a lawnmower than using your uncanny-valley-AI-dubbing feature in my videos.

if people could stop slamming in the back of my Dragula that would be really nice, smdh

NEW VIDEO! The FEAR is a 2001 horror FMV game that never left Japan. Unlike other FMV games you can move around freely in 1st person, and the plot is a murder-mystery that involves women spontaneously exploding. Yes I’m fully serious. Click in to hear about the chaos 💥 youtu.be/HpqE-0Asrvo

Just wrapped up Labyrinth of the Demon King. Easily one of the best-executed indie horrors I've played in recent memory. Atmosphere is oppressive and unrelenting, and even as someone who normally shies away from Souls-like combat, it was so accessible and addictive here. Strongly recommend this one!

🎮 Retro games shaped generations. But many are vanishing. Some, like educational games by Yaakov Kirschen, who died on April 14, were almost lost forever. Journalist @kirkman.bsky.social explains why preserving niche software matters: blog.archive.org/2025/05/07/v... 🕳️ #VanishingCulture

It's a brutal time for young men. April — 1805. Napoleon is master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him. Oceans are now battlefields.

Finally moved away from the 'gamer' office chair and got myself an actually decent office chair; the difference is mind-boggling. One day with this chair and I feel like there's absolutely no going back.

Happy May Day

Currently editing the voice over track for the upcoming Phantasmagoria video, and to create the right mood setting, listening to Basshunter - DotA on loop.

New video's finished and uploading (but since it's on Post Trauma, it will release on the 22nd of April when the game launches)✌️

The reason The Crow (1994) is the best movie ever made is that it's essentially a 90 minute Brandon Lee thirsttrap.

Vore. Vore never changes.

Hey folks, Lunacid - Tears of the Moon is out now It's a free prequel to Lunacid which was made in FromSoft's own King's Field engine. store.steampowered.com/app/3506110/...

The "awful", previously-lost FPS game The Fortress Of Dr. Radiaki is coming to Steam on May 8, with a range of new improvements. (Wishlist it on Steam)

Just checked something, and what. Not only does Apple charge Patrons EXTRA, but transactions take 75 days after purchase to become available for withdrawal? Anyway, support creators through web browser, NOT app. Jesus.

Hey folks, I've added Asylum to my curator page If you've not heard of this, it's a first-person point & click adventure from the developer of Scratches that feels like it was plucked right out of the 90s rough edges and all, but plays like nothing else today store.steampowered.com/app/230210/A...

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

Honestly speaking, Phantasmagoria is genuinely a truly pretty good-looking game. While many make fun of it (and others of the genre) mix between 2D/3D and live-action segments, I seriously love this experimental take on it. Besides, the gore effects still stand up in this day.

i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

ROSEWATER IS OUT! A Wild West adventure about friendship, storytelling, and found family. It's been a journey making this game. I sincerely hope you enjoy it. 🤠🌵 Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/... GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/rose...
