  • Blair Witch Project. But only as a kid. Stuff hits different when you’re 12…and an idiot. You have to buy into the “this movie is real” bullshit juuuuuuust long enough until the credits roll.

    Every fall I seek out horror as a franchise* and there are a lot of amazing horror movies that are good movies in themselves or projects on YouTube or well made crime podcasts. I love the feeling of glooming dread, which I actually hunt for once a year. But nothing is scary anymore as it was as a kid.

    *)accept video games. I cried like a bitch in RE8 in that baby basement. I left the lights on when I played Iron Lung. And even thinking about playing Alien Isolation makes me hyperventilate. I can’t handle any of this. No thanks.







  • 242 killed by returning soldiers

    The six-month battlefield stint didn’t diminish Azamat Iskaliyev’s appetite for violent revenge against women.

    The 37-year-old was sentenced to nine-years in jail after he killed his wife by stabbing her in his car in the summer of 2021 because she wanted a divorce.

    Soon after returning to civilian life, he knifed an ex-girlfriend more than 60 times in the shop where she worked in October 2024 after she rejected his advances.

    For that crime, he was jailed for more than 19 years, according to court records in the city of Saratov.

    This case is one shocking example of the social problems that could await Russia as thousands of prisoners turned soldiers return home following an eventual end to the war.

    Verstka, an independent Russian media outlet, reported that by October 2024 almost 500 civilians had become victims of soldiers returning from fighting in Ukraine.

    The report said at least 242 people had been killed, and a further 227 were gravely injured, citing data from Russian court records.

    Russia about to perform the miracle of becoming an even shittier place.






  • Rings of Power

    While it is not perfect, a lot of criticism of the show is insane or plain dishonest. It became a playing ground for shit stirring and easy rage bait.

    Death Stranding

    The worst game I ever loved. Yes, the story and dialogue gets weird towards the end. Yes, Kojima keeps over explaining everything almost pathologically. Yes, I only played the Directors Cut, which I have been told reworked most of the game into a better state. And yes, I got PTSD from getting called after every single mission. But if you keep driving vehicles into terrain that obviously isn’t suited to be driven on, or otherwise try to bend the gameplay to your liking instead of accepting how it is supposed to be played, maybe you should play something else.






  • Were Chobits ever meant to be fucked? Their ON/OFF switch is literally inside the opening representing their vagina. Seems inconvenient to me.

    I’ve seen that anime like 20 years ago and never thought about it since. But your comment catapulted this question back into the forefront of my mind.
