Fuzzy Ghost, the studio behind horror-puzzle game 'Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch),' wants its work to start conversations about renting and landlords. "We’re not even being that abstract... It’s literally a landlord who’s a witch and is like messing you up... Subtlety is overrated."

"Subtlety is Overrated" — 'Janet DeMornay' and the Very Real Hell of Renting
"The whole vibe just came down to how violated you feel by what landlords legally are allowed to ask of you, insist of you, and the power they have over us."

Aw man, such a loss. My heart breaks for his family and friends, and I know his fans treasured him. I was a fan of his performance in Repo: The Genetic Opera, but he had a tremendous body of work.

If your university is pushing you to use "A.i." to write, your university is actively hurting you and you're not getting an education; you're getting a line in your resume that means nothing.

It’s crucial we accept the inevitable dominance of AI generated entertainment and also the top 2 movies are the product of obsessive, idiosyncratic creative visions by functionally amateur weirdos, and I mean “weirdos” in the best possible way.
