(they/he)

he/they. I used to work in publishing. I don't anymore, and I don't know what to do with my life lol. I stream mostly retro games over at twitch.tv/ripleydottelevision. I think these bios are awkward.
The ginormous stripes Adidas went for with the national teams this year borderline ruins so many good kits.

Horror movie (ish) 8/however many I watch this month: Frankenstein (2025).

Holy fuck this sucked. Nothing happened, it was way too long and boring, and the character motivations were all over the place. The monster design was pretty shit, too. I hated it lol.

Horror movie 7/however many I watch in October: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Holy shit Keanu's accent. Winona Ryder's isn't much better, but omg Keanu's is so bad. Oldman is great. This film is SO HORNY. It also has such an aesthetic about it—in its editing, its costuming, its set design. It rules.

Horror movie 6/out of however many I watch in October: Dead Alive (1992).

It's so weird to think this is directed by Peter Jackson. There's some great practical effects, but it's just so ridiculously stupid at some point I kinda just zoned out. It just felt like a cheap Evil Dead homage. Ehhhhhh.

Horror movie 5/out of however many I end up watching in October:
V/H/S Halloween (2025)

Oh, boy. Wildly inconsistent, as V/H/S often is. Some great effects, acting, and story mixed in with just as much laughable dogshit. Overall it was middling as hell.

Horror movie 4/out of however many I watch in October: The Blob (1988).

It's goofy as all hell, but like 90% of it is also gnarly as all hell. People die in some really fucked up ways and the practical effects rule until the last 10 minutes when they go to shit. Still loved it.

Aw no don't fuck it up, Jays.

Horror movie 3/out of however many I watch during October: I Saw the Devil (2010).

One of the best revenge movies ever, to me. Bleak, brutal, kinda funny in a fucked up way. The two leads, Choi Min-sik and Lee Byung-hun are amazing on it. It maybe goes on a bit long at 2.5 hours, but I love it.

Horror movie 2/however many I end up watching during October: The House of the Devil (2009).

Probably my favourite Ti West film. Slowest of slow burns. Some people hate it for that but I just love soaking in the vibes of it. Does a great job of authentically feeling like a lost film from the 80s.

Horror movie 1/however many I end up watching during October: When Evil Lurks (2023).

Love this movie. A demon terrorizes a rural Argentian town. Like five minutes of setup and then it's mostly just balls to the wall bonkers shit for like 90 minutes. Absolutely worth a watch.

Just listening to this album again in full and remembering how it's absolutely GOATed.

What a fascinating, ultimately not very good book. D:

The interesting anecdotes are REALLY interesting, but you're left wanting so much more. It's uneven in its recollections of the games, and some of the most seemingly interesting development stories don't get much coverage.

Absolutely bonkers that Carly Rae Jepsen just casually released the greatest pop song and album ever a decade ago.
