i have many favorites but i don't think anyone bests joanna newsom here, though sean nelson (of harvey danger fame) is a close second in a very different lyrical style

getting a bad feeling about the future of this website

after a paltry 70-ish hours i have finally beat silksong! what a good game

new post! been a while. for completely inexplicable reasons i have been thinking about hollow knight recently, and my mind has always juxtaposed it with breath of the wild for reasons of i played them both fairly close to each other www.vaudevillegho.st/exploration/

too lazy to update my display name, please pretend i have added a ghost and/or skull and/or pumpkin emoji or the word "spooky" or something in honor of spooky season (for added verisimilitude also please pretend i forget to change it back when spooky season is over)

Saw thumbnail for a video on YouTube talking about "[x] crazy fan theories that explain everything about these films" and one of the panels in said thumbnail was "007 is a code name" and gang if this respiratory infection didn't already have me in bed I'd need to lie down

environmental storytelling

Here is a comic from March 2024 that I forgot to post here, featuring my whimsical characters whose names I also forget

i think the part of "war of the worlds" (2025) that will forever haunt me is the elite hacker who can effortlessly seize control of the omnipotent govt surveillance net (which ice cube operates with a staggering lack of profesionalism or oversight) is revealed to be using the password "erika2020"

the hallmark of a great movie is that it makes you think, makes you ask questions the war of the worlds (2025) made me think "the writers didn't even read the wikipedia article on any of the things featured in this film" and ask "why did they make this film" it is, as such, a great film

new post! i am finally catching up on all these things i have been meaning to write for a month; anyway, this film rules www.vaudevillegho.st/tampopo-1985/

you ever encounter someone so unhinged it makes you dislike other people less

graffic design our passion

happy labor day, workers of the world

met a copyright maximalist who kept saying "i have just sent a screenshot of your message to all of my artist friends and they are all laughing at you" to the most anodyne sentiments i am beginning to suspect their friends *aren't* just out of frame, also laughing

Im releasing Silksong first

this is a touch baffling

A nice review by @coreyredekop.bsky.social about my book! asofterworld.com/joey/grandmo...

can we just burn this shit to the ground already no actual living person should be denied necessary medication because the lying machine that lies, lied

sorry we're late. we were radicalizing your mom.

watching someone confidently giving hints to a puzzle in twitch chat when they do not, in fact, know the correct solution to the puzzle is always a magical experience

today's algorithm slop article is asserting that in the ending of the original scott pilgrim comic books, scott ends up dating knives chau, and that the movie differs on this point by ending with him dating ramona flowers can't tell if this is AI hallucination or false memory

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this goes for all media. People haven't played your favorite classic video game or listened to your favorite band that definitely everybody has heard of? Instead of making others feel worse, be excited that you get the privilege of sharing it with somebody new.

We fast-forward through games like we fast-forward through life, chasing the “good part”, and erasing the friction that gave it meaning. The rush of getting through something feels good, but the real joy lives in taking the long way around. #blog #gaming #backlog

fellas, is it gay to like music

it has a little house

One of the reasons the sort of vulgar poptimism thing of the 00s and 10s always felt off is that the best truest and most interesting work is rarely ever made for a pop audience. Something that appeals to everyone is usually not going to be the hole that was made for you OR the creators.

i have questions and i don't think they can be answered using these buttons

new post! www.vaudevillegho.st/an-anecdote-... i committed to a bit in this one. sometimes you have to write to amuse yourself

criterion channel has just added REDLINE (2009), takeshi koike's buckwild racing anime, as well as Paprika (2006), the final feature film by the late great Satoshi Kon, one of the most inimitable directors of all time. these are both extremely worth your time

i have never seen wikipedia do the "webster's defines it as" thing before. this is beautiful

there is a whole genre of sticker in seattle that is mad about how this city doesn't like talking to strangers or being bothered in public it's a bit like going to the uk and being mad about the orderly queuing

finally fixed the html on this old shitpost from the cohost days that has renewed relevance in this era of people playing horse games obsidianmoonshine.com/public/1-blo...

it's bandcamp friday! did you know i wrote up a list of cool bands whose music you can buy? it's true! www.vaudevillegho.st/bandcamp-fri...

dreamt some famous internet comedians tried to file a frivolous lawsuit against me as a bit

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

Hey do you want to inconvenience some of the most obscenely wealthy, powerful, and sinister organizations on the face of the Earth? yellat.money Get in there.

i don't generally engage with engagement prompt posts but the "cool albums that came out when you were sixteen" one was interesting to me because even though i did not, broadly, like good music at sixteen, these two absolute bangers did come out that year

what i love about the painting of the arrest of charlotte corday i use as my profile picture is how done with everyone's shit she looks "oh wow you're mad i murdered marat? that's so novel of you"

reminded of the time i was sharing my screen to get some help setting up some tech bullshit and tabbed over to notepad to take some notes, where i just happened to have a file open just called "fucked up little guy.txt"

the teriyaki place we usually order from has a BOGO deal on chicken and gyoza and it is not optional. you *will* get two of them.

"gee, i sure wish a vaudeville ghost would write up a list of cool bands i could give money to on the bandcamp friday coming up on august 1!" does that sound like you? then i have good news for you! please enjoy cool bands for cool and attractive people www.vaudevillegho.st/bandcamp-fri...

i have just encountered a man wearing a "fight club men's ministry" t-shirt i have so many questions

thinking of that time a receptionist told me i looked like a nice young lady i don't think any of those three words are accurate but i appreciate the sentiment i think?

it was a treat catching illuminati hotties live this weekend. this song has been on regular rotation for a week or so now; i can only hope one day to achieve half the unhinged energy in this video youtu.be/fvQCWX8w_Yw?...
