Going through my weird rambly Tumblr rants and found the 2k-word stream of consciousness essay I wrote on why people are so horny for Ghostface, with focus on how intentional inaccessibility created a generational rift in the horror community. zigmenthotep.tumblr.com/post/7947892... #horrorsky

All reshares very much appreciated, as of course are any very kind purchases, signing me onto your will, convincing Rockstar to use one of my songs as the title track for GTA 6, etc.

First new Nightlights song since early 2025. The new album is taking way longer than expected, so I decided to put something together in between. 😊 nightlightsuk.bandcamp.com/track/flight

Okay, thanks to closing everything other than the game, Steam, and task manager, I was able to get partially though a match before the game froze, disconnected, and then closed. And since I had task manager up, I can verify no performance issues with my machine, just the game. @deadbydaylight.com

Okay, trying Dead by Daylight one last time.

People keep saying "when this is over, were going to look back on it as one of the most corrupt points in American politics" and that tells you a lot about those people. To them, this is a historical period already written in a future book, and history can't be changed, only documented.

I can confidently say there is nobody I'm not willing to cut off. And if you can't say the same you might want to reevaluate if you actually believe in anything or if it jut makes you feel good to pretend you do.

"Localized massage in needed areas," like the clit.

Alright, very rare opportunity. I am actually asking for TTRPG recommendations. Hit me with your best one-page zombie TTRPGs, I need them for something which so obvious that I'm not going to bother saying what it is.

Just heard D&D has joined the race to make a forgettable ip tie-in ttrpg for everything ever made. Which is fine, just as long as they respect the long established and universally accepted dibs we have on the Murder She Wrote game.

Really cool how people are now editing nudity and gore out of the the movies their unauthorized YouTube uploads of old movies to prevent demonetization.

Why do quirky independent film makers always turn into cheap con artists later in life? Like I've seen it so many times where someone's films go from "passionate but lacking experience" to "random footage that almost seems like a movie if you're not paying attention."

I don't know why everyone says hands are the easiest part to draw. Seems to me like they can be pretty challenging.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

So I was reading an article and the next in the endless scroll was "The 15 Best Final Girls In Horror Movies Ranked," so I decided to take a look for a laugh, and they listed Brandy's character from I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

I wish IMBD had a feature like Steam where you could block recommendation of anything from specific actors, studios, et cetera.

Hey chat, guess what happened again. I decide to give it another try and literally seconds into the match my whole system freezes. AI sure is making everything better innit?

Dr. Z's Tomb of Terror@zigmenthotep.bsky.social · 6d ago

I can't help but feel that the fact that Dead by Daylight has crashed two times in two matches today is a bad sign.

Possibly controversial opinion here, people really need to stop reaching to credit things for having representation. Like, whenever I try to find queer horror films I keep running into lists that are mostly just movies with one gay character. Yes, good for them, but not what I'm looking for.

Watching this movie and I thought the main character's name was Slade, but then the credits roll and it's Slake.

Cool, so apparently the only way to get rid of all the "every movie of every actor/actress ive seen in a movie" and other such pointless lists is to block the users that make them.

Me: I'll just put this movie on in the background while I'm working The Movie: I'm so fucking quiet that you have to pay attention like your listening for EVPs if you want to understand any of the dialogue.

It's really weird how the people making movies with $100,000,000 budgets are the ones who say that they have to use AI to keep up with the industry and people making movies with $10,000 budgets somehow manage to say "fuck that."

I've seen Chuck Tingle slay before, but this is absolute peak fashion.

such an honor to be a part of @cgolden.bsky.social book event last night at village well with so many amazing authors. LOVE IS REAL. did not get a lot of photos but DID get the worlds greatest family portrait with @lizkerin.bsky.social and monika kim

Mortal Kombat is interesting in that it's a fighting game series whose lore is more interesting than its gameplay... or at least it was until they reset the universe twice in the span of four games.

I really wish "we initially used AI due to [flimsy justification], but then people yelled at us so we stopped" wasn't seen as an acceptable statement to make, and be taken as a creator's denouncing of AI.

Big problem with haunted house found footage films is they need to be filmed in a house, and houses filmmakers have access too sometimes have decidedly unspooky elements. Case in point, this foosball table really just took me out of a tense moment.

Why us "shitty found footage paranormal investigation" one of my comfort genres? I ask as if it's any stranger than slashers and Italian splatter films.

Alright, very rare opportunity. I am actually asking for TTRPG recommendations. Hit me with your best one-page zombie TTRPGs, I need them for something which so obvious that I'm not going to bother saying what it is.

Seriously, one of my wort habits is having a folder of things I should delete. Like I should not have a single folder named "do not need." If I don't need the files I should delete them.

Someone should give me money to make a found footage horror porn called "Found Frottage."
