That’s absolutely insane, my country sure as hell isn’t perfect, but I can’t ever imagine something like that happening here and it not making semi-national news
The easter one doesn't even make sense lmao did they glue them together???
worst take ive seen on this site ill fight you
Been playing Book of Hours. Has anyone else played it? The vibes are immaculate but i keep going back and forth on whether or not the actual mechanics are fun or not. Managed to fill out me spreadsheet for all the prentice-level recipes tonight so that was good!
Yes actually! One of my favorites is Matt Dimersky, he wrote some shorts on nosleep under the handle M59Gar. One that sticks out as being particularly amazing is Stuck. Long-form books is the horror medium I’ve consumed the least, unfortunately.
Slipstream is derived from mainstream (and is apparently a pretty old term) and is sort of “the genre of strange”. It’s a bit hard to describe but if you look up some definitions you’ll definitely know if you’ve read anything that fits the bill, it’s a very peculiar vibe.
New Weird Horror is related to Weird Fiction, yeah! It’s sort of what it says on the tin, horror that aims to push the boundaries of the genre, so no monster-of-the-week or gory slashers with stupid teens. Usually it involves genre blending and themes that are closer to magical realism or such, usually more unsettling than scary, or if it its overtly scary, it’s scary in some strange and existential way (think of good cosmic horror or weird unfiction narratives like the monument mythos)
Thank you for humoring me comrade if you’re interested i have tons of recommendations across several mediums <3
Ok this may not be exactly what you meant but I am a horror nut (dont read that many books but i read tons online and consume other horror content). I have some strong opinions on the genre, its tropes, what I like or don’t like, etc. I was itching for something new lately so I got into audio dramas, and it rules! Listened to a few, going through The Silt Verses right now and the world building is just fantastic. It also introduced to the concept of Slipstream and New Weird Horror, with the latter being one of those things I have felt for a long time, but I have been unable to articulate what exactly the vibe was.
Ok im so sorry for this rambling that was only semi-related to your post im just very excited and i dont have that many people to share this stuff with irl
Yeah it was just an open goal of a joke, didn't mean to be an ass 🙈
I have a family member who quit his job as a correctional officer after just a few months due to how his colleagues were treating the inmates. He went to work at a homeless shelter instead and became a pillar of the community to the point of being the only one to manage a rapport with some of the addicts and what not 😎
Lethal Company is genuinely a great game too. Theres a lot of attention to detail in many aspects of the design, insanely impressive for a solo project
It's canon that fallen knight set is full of piss
Then he’d laugh and yell at chat for not eating veggies with theird tendies
