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".

Top 3 reasons why you need to play the demo for Welcome To Doll Town by Bad Wish Games 1) Beating up enemies with your fists 2) Petting the kitty cat 3) DEDICATED MACARENA BUTTON! store.steampowered.com/app/3204320/...

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.

Just got my first ending of Silent Hill F. ... I need to jump straight into New Game Plus and get more information because goddammit Ryukishi07 gave me just enough information to put together a picture but hid enough pieces that curiosity is ripping my brain to shreds!

So my Silent Hill game suddenly became Onimusha. ... I don't know how to feel about that.

So after umming and ahhing over pre-ordering Silent Hill F I still haven't finished my first run 🤣 Part of that is because I had a holiday to go on and part of it is a frustrating cough that will not leave (currently waiting on X ray results). But how is the game so far? AMAZING!

I got it

Started looking through some old files on my computer and came across a folder of stuff I used to post on deviantart. Not ready to share my full cringe history yet, but here's one thing I made that was hilarious to me at the time (and honestly still makes me giggle... my sense of humour is weird).

Not long to go until release and I'm still debating pre-ordering Silent Hill F. I'm not one to pre-order games, honestly I tend to wait for sales. But I really want to experience this story myself completely blind, I do not want anything spoiled if I can avoid it. I mean it's Ryukishi07's writing!

!!NEW VIDEO ON PATREON!! The next video essay is now available, close to a whole month in advance, to everyone who donates $1 a month or more! If you aren't a patron, and can't afford becoming one, it would mean the world to me if you'd share this post around. 💜 www.patreon.com/posts/yes-bo...

Working through my itch backlog again and I've got to share with you this fantastic little horror game 'Trash Collecting In A Cave' by @catfish-fts.bsky.social Just like the title says you pick up trash in a cave. And it's HORRIFYING! catfish-from-the-sun.itch.io/trash-collec...

Dumbest thing about this online safety act implemented here in the UK (apart from the invasive requests for personal data) is that on itch I can still access many 18+/NSFW game pages but not the pages of the games creators. EVEN FOR CREATORS WHO I KNOW ALSO MAKE SFW GAMES!

Promoting my friend's music again because his band is genuinely one of my favourites. Check out the newest EP by The Crimson Rays, it is a great listen for rock fans and the lyrics hit incredibly hard. Personal favourite track is Scions Of The Revolution 😁 open.spotify.com/album/2yi5UD...

5 Favourite Things! (I am late on this 😅) Band: Evanescence Novel: Amygdala by Sam Fennah Podcast: Don't have one, any recommendations? Movie: The Shape Of Water Show: The Apothecary Diaries @checkpointsam.bsky.social @tiduidu.bsky.social @maybemockingbird.bsky.social @phantasmrain.bsky.social

The demo for Mindin Studio's game Liminophobia is BREATHTAKING! If like me you're a fan of the game POOLS by Tensori or just generally enjoy liminal space games (especially with the poolrooms aesthetic) then you should definitely try it out. store.steampowered.com/app/3370640/...

Too warm... have stuff to do... things to write... games to play... but no... don't wanna move... stupid heat...

Just played 'Listen To Simon' by Bumtum and it's a really cool little horror game, very simple gameplay combined with an incredibly unsettling atmosphere. Definitely worth giving a go. bumtum.itch.io/listen-to-si...

Finally got around to checking out Chapter 0 of Pools and WOW! This was already one of my favourite games of all time but @tensori.fi somehow made it even better. Wonderful liminal weirdness, plenty of NOPE moments and the one thing I really wanted from the first 6 chapters... UNDERWATER SECTIONS!!!

So the game Cold Abyss by Studio [.notes], which I previously discussed as one of three horror games that terrified me, is getting an expanded release on Steam. And yes I have requested access to the playtest because apparently I'm that much of a masochist. store.steampowered.com/app/3260040/...

Hey peeps 😁 I'm not dead, just been busy the past couple of months. Not long returned from a brilliant holiday in Japan to visit family and I had a lot to do in preparation for that. Hoping to catch up on stuff I've missed here and seeing what you've all been up to.

Just got my first ending in the amazing game DEAD LETTER DEPT. by BeliefEngine ... I am conflicted between wanting to immediately replay it to find other endings because of how satisfying the gameplay is and never wanting to go anywhere near this hell ever again.

Continuing my current gaming kick with the brilliant visual novel RoboCult by biinxiix! This game where you wake up in a strange world with a robot claiming to be your saviour is so much fun to play through, I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story. biinxiix.itch.io/robocult

Just played this demo and I love it! The short prologue already has given enough story details to get me hooked, while both Rue and Parker are brilliant characters (Parker especially is a riot). I definitely recommend giving it a go, can't wait for the full game to come out 😁

So to my utter shame I've discovered that one of @arcadekitten.bsky.social's games completely flew under my radar. That has been quickly remedied and I can now say that Once Clover Died is one of the most emotionally impactful games I've ever played. arcadekitten.itch.io/once-clover-...

My favourite game dev @arcadekitten.bsky.social has knocked it out of the park again with her newest little game One Girl's Trash. This game is cute and fun and has nothing horrifying in it! No I'm not being sarcastic, there's genuinely nothing horrifying here. arcadekitten.itch.io/one-girls-tr...

STOP... and drop a horror movie gif/image/vid

Nothing kills your writing/editing mood like having to spend nearly half an hour trying to figure out how to turn off stupid AI on your word document because clearly having the service provide an on/off button would be too convenient. Thanks Microsoft

I think Fear the Spotlight by @cozygamepals.bsky.social is one of my new favourite horror games ever, this short experience just seemed to tick all of the boxes to instantly make me fall in love with it. store.steampowered.com/app/1959390/...
