Finished Clair Obscur finally (I know, I'm late to everything). Would have platinumed it, but one achievement glitched. What an incredible, beautiful, sad game.

On to Nioh 3.

My man Skratch Bastid played this today. It's impossible to pick a favorite Earth, Wind, & Fire song, but this one's in the conversation. Love that Just-Ice sampled that opening section in "The Desolate One"

Life on Youtube as a creator can basically be summed up as getting a lovely comment from Roger Watkins' nephew on your Last House on Dead End Street video, followed immediately by some rando telling you he's tired of videos talking about films that inspired Alien like you give a single solitary fuck

It's early, but so far 2026 feels like 2025 Part Deux. I never thought I'd long for the sweet boring days of 2012.

My new favorite thing is every dipshit chucklefuck thinking literally everything is written by AI. I mean, it only stole all of our work to get where it is. but sure. I was writing professionally when AI was still a fantasy of dystopian sci-fi, but sure.

We're kicking off the new year with a Grindhouse Gospel ep on Chuck Norris' The Octagon! How many ninjas can Chuck kill? How about all of them. :p

The biggest takeaway from the new Youtube channel is people are profoundly media illiterate (even worse than I'd thought) and completely incapable of reading a film beyond the most surface-level plot details. It's really kinda heartbreaking.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

Weirdest thing in the world is getting discount emails from Quest Diagnostics. "Hey, we're having 20% off on heart tests this week!"

Am I supposed to be like "Well, I've been waiting for a good sale to make sure I'm not gonna keel over...better hurry on in! These prices won't last!"

So bizarre...

That whole AI podcast thing has very strong "dotcom boom" vibes, like back to when everyone was promising the moon through the internet and never delivered any of it but got rich off selling the bullshit.

What a disaster. I don't believe these goofy "AI shows" are gonna beat real creators who've built a personal brand. When you comment on my videos you get a response from me...not some AI avatar. There's something to be said for connecting with a creator.

I think about opening a video store like once a day. Physical media is making a comeback and everyone misses video stores.

Today's Deep Cuts ep takes a look at Ridley Scott's sexy vampire flick, The Hunger. Bowie, Deneuve, and Sarandon + moody lighting + Bauhaus = Classic. :p
