I’m on holiday visiting my wife’s family and I decided to chronicle our trip via sketchbook!

Part one of our road trip through Idaho:

“You ought to know that for every one human, there’s roughly 1.2 billion insects on Earth.”

“Ok. How is this relevant to ghost hunting?”

*Puts on ghost vision goggles*

“GAHHHH!!”

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Go follow this talented man!

My mom likes to dress up/style/move her Common Hobb plush every day ala elf on the shelf, and it’s both hilarious and adorable. 😆

I was talking to some friends about No Man's Sky being made from the devs of Joe Danger - and then suddenly I got curious, how many of NMS's 10+ MILLION players went and played Hello Games' back catalog?

Steam Reviews: 142.

I think it should be required that all games have key art of their protagonist playing the video game

One of my favorite things is finding out famous songs were written for shlocky horror movies.

Like what do you mean Michael Jackson did 'Ben' for a killer rat movie? Or that AC/DC did 'Who Made Who' for a movie about killer trucks?

I need more of these for my collection. 😈

In 1995, your parents forbid you from playing a solitaire game.

In 2019, you find a copy at a thrift store. You decide to install it. What could go wrong?

Wrapped up the Night Springs and Lake House DLC before moving on to Control. Wasn’t expecting The Lake House to be so funny.

The FBC trying to pin down a definition for “art” so they can quantify it for research is just too perfect.

I feel I’m very primed to jump into Control now!

Looking through new Healthcare options today and I realize it's like the nightmare version of comparing Diablo loot, but where every option also hurts you. Just gotta weigh which one hurts the least.

Anyway now I wanna make American Healthcare Diablo.

this is gonna sound weird but i think home safety hotline is a better spiritual successor to the SCP foundation than the backrooms stuff. everyone focuses so hard on all the world destroying elder beings and monsters, but not the mundane and unusual ones
i think home safety hotline is a really cool game, I like that it doesn't take itself too seriously but is still pretty horrifying. I like seeing different fae folk for people's cryptid monsters

Lussi is a semi-solid humanoid creature known for slipping inside homes during hail storms. Homeowners often report a slimy semi-transparent substance near entrances and openings.

It is highly advised to quietly hide all warm-blooded inhabitants of a home if Lussi is suspected to be present.
