Hey Dead Souls, I’m going to be stepping back from my personal content for a while so no streams or new video uploads for the foreseeable future. Work and health have been taking up almost all my bandwidth, and I need to prioritize rest and taking care of myself.

Put off submitting my Horror Game Awards nominations, but finally locked them in today! Normally I have crystal clear picks, but this year had me going back and forth right up to the last minute. Can't wait to see who wins!

Horror isn't a moral guidebook, but an autopsy of human fear. Expecting horror to be unproblematic is like expecting a hospital to be free of sick people. If you remove the disease, the institution has no reason to exist.

At the risk of sounding like an old codger: can we please stop gamifying things that have no business being gamified? My email doesn’t need achievement points. I am trying to delete spam, not beat a raid boss.

There is nothing that makes me want to break down and hide more than meaning something in the most positive kind way and someone taking it complely wrong and attacking me so harshly and then ignoring me when I try to clarify.

That said, I’m still active behind the scenes helping out with The Horror Game Awards, so you’ll still see me around in that space! I really appreciate all your understanding and support while I pause personal projects to recharge. Hope you’re all taking care out there 🖤

We crave the comfort of monsters not bc we love the terrifying creatures in the night, but because human cruelty makes us reach for something so comfortable in its nature that it simply is what it is. In the darkness there are no masks, no hypocrisy, and no surprises. The monster is honest.

Braking a lifelong streak. Zelda system & game launches have always lined up with my birthday & served as my personal reset, but I won’t be able to grab this one. Trying to remind myself the games will still be waiting down the road, but today hits heavy with the realization that I have to let go.

An unread text is not a personal attack, a moral failing, or a demand for a diagnosis. People have limited bandwidth, demanding jobs, and lives outside their screens. You are not entitled to someone's immediate energy just because you sent a notification to their pocket.

This creates a loop that makes answering messages feel so heavy: *You run out of mental energy to respond *You know people expect instant availability *The anxiety of being judged, guilted, or berated for being "slow" builds up *The cognitive load doubles, making it even harder to reply

Needing time to process, rest, or just exist without constantly performing availability doesn't make anyone cold, broken, or unworthy of care. Sometimes people are just tired.

Watching someone explain that replying to messages takes real cognitive energy, only to be told they’re "mentally unwell" or "don't deserve people who care about them" is exactly why so many people shut down entirely.

Victorian McGee's Hysteria Cheshire Cat ❤️ New bestie for the Victorian McGee Collection has dropped! A crooked grin. A restless mind. A little extra madness from Wonderland. Available on the Plushie Dreadfuls store ⭐️

I am used to being blamed for everything as a Millennial—that’s been our role since I was 13. We were "killing" every industry under the sun simply because we were broke, or we were getting written off as "too woke" for daring to ask for better.

Saying we are obsessed with it is like telling a beaten dog that still does tricks that it loves its owner... we don’t. We just didn’t want to be hit or starved. We were forced to learn the rules of a rigged game just to survive it.

In recent years, the kids have started blaming us too. They say we didn’t do enough to change the world, or that we chose to be obsessed with influencer culture instead.

I still carry the scars from the wars we fought when we were young, and the trauma from trying to make the world a better place. We hate influencer culture, too.

Congrats to the winners in the Discord!!

While I am getting better, a lot of the changes to various platforms are making me lose my drive to push myself. I still love creating and I’ll keep doing it, but it will just be as time and money allow.

Fantastic news! The medication I got from the doctor is working and I actually felt well enough to sit at my pc and edit for a few hours which I haven’t been able to do for months. I am so excited to start working again but I promise not to overdo it and set myself back to square one ❤️

If you are looking for my website, don’t worry! I just forgot to update my payment information and will do so shortly. It should be back up within a day or two!

I want to apologize for being a ghost this past month & streaming randomly. Between the demands of my new job & my health, things have been rough. The good news is starting Monday my insurance kicks in & I can start scheduling doctors appointments. I miss making content so much. I’ll be back soon.
