I am trying to improve how I manage my arachnophobia. I know it's irrational, the spiders aren't there to hurt me and I shouldn't immediately resort to the shoe when I see one. SO WHY DO THEY INSIST ON HANGING OUT RIGHT ABOVE MY BED WHERE I CAN'T IGNORE THEM SO MY NERVES ARE CRANKED UP TO MAXIMUM?!

Trying to be good and work through my backlog so I played Mouthwashing recently. Fantastic horror game, I see now why it got so much attention. Everything was so brilliantly done that I still feel horrible thinking about it yet I also want to experience it again. And Jimmy can go fuck himself.

Well I really enjoyed watching this, the setting was brilliant and there was a great atmosphere, plus all the filming underwater looks really impressive. The story felt a little bit lacking, especially in the backstory of the house, but I'd watch it again for the spectacle alone.

Finally getting around to watching another horror film I've wanted to see for a while. The last film I watched about a creepy house was horrifying so let's dive in to see how this one plays out (I'm stupidly excited already because it's underwater and I love underwater settings).

I know some of my moots are also Junji Ito fans so I wanted to ask if any of you had seen this. And if so, what are your thoughts? I'm curious to watch it. Someone in the comments said it looked more like a tribute than an adaptation and that's how it feels to me too. youtu.be/P5IoKVmRdCk?...

6 likes and 6 moots! (Very late 🤣) 🩵 Ancient Egypt 🩵 Horror 🩵 Cookies (baking and eating) 🩵 Mermaids 🩵 Gregory Horror Show 🩵 Discworld @checkpointsam.bsky.social @scottsgameasylum.bsky.social @ragnarrox.bsky.social @tiduidu.bsky.social @amberwrithing.bsky.social @steveofwarr.bsky.social

together we are... horror games 🎮🌹

Dropped a tub while cleaning and now I have a pasta disaster 😭

You know what’s good? Sweetcorn. It doesn’t try too hard but it’s no slouch either. A good hand, it pitches in with any meal it’s part of. It is top tier vegetation.

Me: Well after nearly two weeks it looks like my cold is starting to shift, this is the liveliest I've felt in a while. It looks like my body is finally giving me a break from feeling run down and not wanting to move. My uterus:

My first instinct is to joke "this is how the robot uprising starts" but at this stage it doesn't even feel like a joke, it just feels inevitable. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Today is cursed. First demo I tried is unplayable because the camera kept sliding downward. Restarted 3 times and tried both controller and mouse controls but every time the same thing happened. Made me feel nauseous and made selecting anything a nightmare. Fingers crossed the next one is better.

Got a leak in my airing cupboard so having a plumber out today to see what the issue is. Trying and failing to do anything other than looking out the window to see if they've arrived yet, I am terrible at waiting.

Well the backlog is just sat there collecting digital dust, maybe this will be the kick I need to brush some of it off.

I'm not massively into competitive online games, especially jumping into a lobby full of strangers. But this? This is my jam! Y'ALL ARE NOT PREPARED FOR MY TYPING SKILLS!!! store.steampowered.com/app/4021860/...

Fuck. That. House.

Finally giving this a watch, let's see how bad this house is.

If you see this, post a character whose name begins with L

Grab your Wii remotes and nunchuks, @pimscrypt.bsky.social is talking about Wii horror games! This was a really fun watch, and I'm especially happy because they talked about the Ju On wii game in it. Definitely give the video a watch if you haven't already!

Just got around to trying the playtest for this game and it is CREEPY AS HELL! Really interesting mechanics and puzzles, a very tense atmosphere along with some genuinely uncomfortable scares that quickly triggered my paranoia. Very excited to see how it develops, I definitely recommend trying it.

I don't think it would. Yes I do share my writing but I don't do nearly enough marketing, this is still mostly a place for me to follow creators, chat to people and share the stuff I love. If I was suddenly set for life I'd probably write more so I'd post about it more but otherwise? No change.

Still not done but making progress, the final piece is definitely going to end up over 10k words which is my longest piece yet. Don't know if I'll get it out this weekend simply because I've got work and I'm going to be visiting family at the start of next week but I'll continue chipping away.

Peeps I need you to tell me to get on with editing, haven't done any the past few days because work has been exhausting but I'd love to get it done today because I really wanna get this story out there this weekend. Positive encouragement is great but I could do with you telling me off too 😂

Video games need more old lady protagonists, horror games included, so when I stumbled upon this upcoming title I immediately had to share it! store.steampowered.com/app/4124340/...

God I hate editing! It's all fun when it's just fleshing things out and adding flares to the descriptions, but then you've got to do the spelling and the grammar and making sure it actually sounds right to the human ear and gaslighting microsoft word into accepting your weird name choices.

#Art #dryad #fantasy #dark #Original_art #Illustration Dryad A species of demonborn carnivorous plants that can be found in forests. Most of it's body is hidden under earth from which Dryad will sprout multiple tendrills that wrap together and turn into a bait.(1/7)

Did it. First draft done. Took longer than expected, not because I didn't know how to progress the story but because I got so excited about this new character that my brain kept drifting to big loredumps about her. Time to sleep and recharge I think.

The weekend weather report.

Slow start today, did not want to get out of bed at all, but I've got a story cooking in my brain that's been hanging around for a couple of days. The writing dress is on again. Aiming to get a full first draft done, let's do this!

Tumblr Monsterfucker trying to power through a monster romance novel: "It's ok, I guess. I just thought there'd be a MONSTER y'know? It says she falls in love with a monster but he's just kind of a dude. Where are the barbs, segmented limbs, acrid fluids? where's his maw? This sucks actually."

Me: It's past the point that I should have heard back about that submission but I know from experience these things can get delayed. Be patient, give it another month then maybe try elsewhere. Don't worry about it. Also Me: *Constantly refreshing my emails just in case there's suddenly a response.*

You ever wonder if some of the monsters and entities in the Backrooms aren't actually native and just no-clipped in from their own reality? Like they're just as lost and confused as any humans who get stuck there but they're also better at adapting to the new environment than we are.

My body decided I'm starting February with bloodshed and internal chainsaws! I hate this uterus so much 😡

So I've just seen Markiplier's Iron Lung film and WOW! If you get the chance to see it you really should, this was an incredibly intense film experience. It's tense, claustrophobic and uncomfortable yet utterly mesmerizing; I barely blinked throughout the whole runtime. #markiplier #ironlung

The dress bloody worked! I've been doing little half hour burts and have got a few thousand words written, and even when I started to drift I found myself looking at things to edit. Taking a break to make dinner but then I'm eager to get back into it. This is now officially my writing dress!

Welp depression is making productivity hard and I really want to write so I decided to try something I've always wanted to do. Got dressed up in my gothic dress just for a writing session. Honestly just wearing this dress makes me feel happy so hopefully that motivates me. Wish me luck 🤞

Poolscape by CosmicArcade is an INCREDIBLE poolrooms inspired game with gorgeous PSX graphics and an immaculate sound design, it really hits that balance between peaceful exploration and unsettling ambience. Definitely recommend giving this demo a go. cosmicarcadegames.itch.io/poolscape

Why don’t we have an abundance of YA fiction where shit like THIS is the premise rather than “kids have to murder each other in the murder game.”??

Deviantart. I was introduced to it through a friend who also got me into fanfiction and stayed on it for years. It was a great early platform to share stories and characters, interact with other fans and have fun. My account is gone (deleted it when AI got introduced) but I still have fond memories.

I stepped out of work and into Silent Hill

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays peeps!

Decided to look at the Steam wrap for this year and this right here? This confirms something I've been thinking for ages. A perfect game for me (that I'm pretty sure nobody will ever make unless I learn how to make it myself) is a horror life-sim game.

Welp, time for me to once again ramble for far too many posts (that I don't think people actually read but I don't care I will keep doing it) about the newest game by my favourite developer @arcadekitten.bsky.social And yes, Lucky Rabbit Club is AMAZING! arcadekitten.itch.io/lucky-rabbit...

Merry Unbirthday to me! Wait... no that's the other 364 days of the year, today is my actual birthday. Somehow that's less fun to say.

Happy Halloween peeps!

Oh no what if the cenobites from Hellraiser are just waiting for a safe-word and that's what's wrong!!! "Dang... They still aren't saying their safe-word?? Humans are hardcore..."

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Turned on my computer and this was the date showing so... greetings from the future! Things aren't too bad. You can all look forward to poached ice cream, Saw XXXVII and the official annexation of Finland into the Insect Empire.
