Awesome psychological horror from a couple years ago, about a very religious nurse, her relationship with God, and the patient whose soul she mut save

4. The Nightshifter (originally Morto Não Fala - Dead don't Talk)

I think this might be one of the most clear-eyed articles about Cyberpunk 2077 I've read. Actually looking at the game's themes, rather than getting caught up on a thought-terminating cliche and single word in the title.

There's more to narratives about dismantling power structures than cheap #dissent, writes @strangelibrary.com

There are few easy answers to the questions the cyberpunk genre asks.

3. Butterfly Kisses

Creepy found-footage mockumentary that is very genre aware and not afraid to be weird. Killer ending

Leo Andrade @wizleo.bsky.social · 6d

2. Oddity

A fun Shudder original that goes to unexpected places. Real step up from the writer-director's debut Caveat, which was interesting and creepy but did not work as well as this one.

Go in blind.

Black Tabby Games (This is Tony) - Slay the Princess @blacktabbygames.com · 9d

For us, an ideal choice in a game twists your form and holds you up against a mirror, reflecting a part of your person that you haven't seen in the light of day.

There are no right choices. No wrong choices. Only fresh perspectives.

Scarlet Hollow and Slay the Princess are a combined 35% off.

Holy shit, October 1st is upon us. I shall once again recommend a horror or horror-adjacent movie every day until Halloween, folks. Because why the hell not.

1. Red Rooms
It will get under your skin without ever making you look at the horrorific things it's about.

Leo Andrade @wizleo.bsky.social · 9d

5 pages into the sample chapter, it stopped being funny

Leo Andrade @wizleo.bsky.social · 9d

it starts with a note on howinternal thoughs will be between quotation marks and spoken dialogue will be marked by an m dash

uses them interchangeably within the first PAGE

also cringe shit like the very western prince "using his hashis like a warrior"

I guy I know randomly put out a 700 page laughably bad fantasy novel that is 100% gpt generated

guys are so lost in the sauce they think asking gpt to smash together a few hundred pages of mediocrity makes them writers

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.

great writing environment if you're okay with dropping a placeholder every time you want to do research and just forging ahead until the return to the continent lol

Have personally fantasized about internet-less living in a lighthouse with a basic laptop and some workout equipment lol

I'm preparing to join a streamed game of @stillfleet.bsky.social's Danse Macabre with some extremely awesome folks.

Something I wrote for DM's companion book Guide to The Abandoned World has just gone to layout, too.

best sounds in the world
-my baby laugh
-that one bone-crushing riff in Mastodon's High Road
-popcorn popping while wife is in the kitchen and I'm pícking a movie for us to watch
-successful parry in bloodborne

Leo Andrade @wizleo.bsky.social · 14d

mushy parent moment - I usually wake up earlier than the rest of the house to try to get the jump on work, but I often """waste""" a couple minutes watching videos of my baby - who is currently sleeping - laughing at random stuff or playing and it's a moment of absolute peace and quiet happiness
