[Sunflower Samurai]

Don't want to get too offtopic, but I love laughing at shitty horror games like that, remember the name?

Turns it was a mod for that shitty horror VN everyone ripped off now, Doki Doki Literature Club, have a gander at it

Ive been meaning to make a writeup about that community for a bit, theres a fuckton of drama since at one point it was all tweens with suicidal ideation with a suprising amount of groomer discord mods alongside some early AI fetishization from lonely weaboos

suprising amount of groomer discord mods

There is NEVER a "surprising" amount of grooming from Discord mods unless they're doing some record-breaking amount of it, that shit's just expected.

I was surprised seeing that Nexpo's newest video only had about ~300k views, and that the videos on bis newer channel with Nick only have about ~150k views each. Kind of supports the idea that a majority of people don't watch his videos but listen to them while doing a mindless task.

I'm surprised Ryan didn't go all out and create actual promotional stuff for his ghost hunting series and instead the thumbnail is just a screenshot from the video. For someone who's been trying to break away from the spooky narration/research essay mold, Ryan sure is half assing it. There's also already people in the comments saying that a lot of the stuff seems faked.

The only ghost hunting webseries on youtube I've enjoyed has been from those guys at Buzzfeed shane and Ryan. Idk if it's because they show how boring an actual ghost hunt is while their personalities keep it entertaining, but it works for me at different aspects.

Hey remember when I sperged about that Lacy video and how it hardly looks like a flash game from 2007? (The video's at 300k views now, jfc youtubers don't know SHIT about what counts as "scary" if they're shilling this shit)
Well I was made aware of this new series called Bugbo:

It's not scary per say, actually there's nothing scary about it really, just mostly comedic and kinda mildly unsettling over how Bugbo knows things and chooses how they should go for the most part. But I bring this up because THIS is how you do your research and actually make a piece of Flash content that ACTUALLY looks like it was from the early days of the internet; right down to the shitty audio, bandcam watermark and 360p glory. There's 2 episodes out right now (+ a HD version of the intro & outro footage) whether this will continue to be something bigger or just be a mostly funny webseries with some hints of mild uncomfortableness thrown in only time will tell, but in either case I like this and would like for this to continue if the dude continues to work on it.

The original DDLC was great, yet then even the creators ruined it.

They had a “premium release” for consoles and PC stores that inexplicably took long enough that people got excited, like “what could they be adding to it that would take this kind of time? They have to be doing a bunch of secrets or maybe-“

DDLC+, said premium release, was genuinely ashamed of being a horror game. It effectively tried to de-emphasize that fact as much as possible, instead adding extra “prequel” content that were literally static VNs (with no player input, otherwise known as kinetic novels) about the platonic relationship between each girl before all the horror was an issue, and some extra bits that tried to “deepen the lore” about Monika bring some super experimental AI or some shit.

It was a profoundly disappointing way to take the game.

Another said that people would ptsd who took trigger warnings to heart and avoided the subjects were actively harming the process of healing from their trauma.

Without getting into specifics, back in the day I swept it up for free for a forum dedicated to people living with a particular phobia.

This is essentially why I left. Users were encouraged to talk about their experiences openly and offer support but ultimately the site culture devolved into abbreviations, trigger warnings, asterisks, and people reporting each other for triggering content. The advent of trigger warnings and snowflake behavior was very similar to a troon infestation in how rapidly it changed the atmosphere and site culture, in this case from celebrating and encouraging progress into marinating in drama and fear of words. A support forum for mental patients run by mental patients was always about as good of an idea as addicts leading each other's recovery without professional oversight, but there was an era where it was actually a nice, civil place.

Trigger warnings are fucking retarded and I lose respect for any creator as soon as I see them.

New DireTrip video about a case I remember reading about years ago:

And I thought An Hero was bad for that family damn.

I can't even imagine living through that, damn.

That reminded me that Horror Stories has a video on her as well. He gets mentioned every so often in this thread and since his channel is like the most sensitive content pop-up, age-restricted, and demonetized you can get on YouTube and still have a presence as a creator, might as well preserve it here before it's eventually terminated.

This does show the crash aftermath photoset that was used to harass her family uncensored from about 1:55 til about 2:25. If you haven't seen it before and don't look at gore, maybe don't have the video full screen. It's certainly an effective caution against reckless driving.

 

[TokiBun]

The crash is pretty brutal. I'm still confused why people trolled the family over this. Out of context it's just a car crash. How did people back then attack trolling shit to it.

i think it's part people on the internet are messed up, part people thinking there's some virtue in harassing them because she was driving erratically, acted very entitled in the fact she stole her dad's car, and was also doing cocaine (crazy her dad took her car keys for trying to sneak a cigarette into the house yet the next day she had access to cocaine).

some people just do some really shitty things if they can justify them.

 

[Sugriva]

I'm not really a fan of Urbanspook's videos. I think they're pretty poorly made. But man, I love his art. Objectively, he's not even a great artist, but something about them is so unsettling.

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

Is the Mario Nights guy still around? I found your bat with hypno eyes. It's the bat from Fern Gully. I'll try to post small pictures. Whether intentional or not, the artist did a good job of combining elements from character designs of media that really existed, but got buried forever as soon as the original promotional contracts ran out.

Okay so it's been a hot minute since I've last looked at the backrooms, and I have to say the overall area does look a bit... off?

Like I don't know why the two walls in front here have completely seperate wallpaper, and I'm not sure what's going on with the wall branching off into the hallway(?) on the left past the front doorway. As well it's kinda weird how the wall in the middle of the doorway just cuts off before it reaches the ceiling.
This is a very structurally strange building no doubt, and whether it's edited or cobbled together to make it look more odd or not now I'm not so sure. :thonking:

I assumed it was part of some miserable cubicle farm, further subdivided with prefabricated cubicle crap. The walls were probably there to block sound and give workers a tiny bit of privacy, but not really.

Tenbond, formerly Creepswork, will be going on hiatus soon.





What a shame. He's an excellent narrator, both for horror and when he used to read greentext stories. His woman/retard voice imitations are a riot.

Gonna miss the guy, he made good OC stories and his narration was pretty good too, although some of his later narration always felt a bit too depressed sounding, I guess the first post lights on why it could be. Let's hope he doesn't die for globehomo.

I don't think Batty is really involved with making the Mario Nights guy. They may look related at a distance but they don't look the same.

 

[Chop Top]

Somewhat tangential, but for anyone who likes The Vile Eye, a channel called Colaws released one of the best parodies I've ever seen. The vocal performance, writing and sense of humor are all executed very well.

Also formerly Punished Creepswork. TenBond is one of the few people that has any tegrady on this platform. I respect the fact that he was willing to leave his nearly 100k channel and start from zero instead of exploiting their current audience to spear head into a different genre. Most YouTubers can't even comprehend starting over to do something different because they want to have their cake and eat it too.

 

[TokiBun]

We've really entered a dark age? boring age? Of true crime content on youtube. I can't think of anything that's surprised or interested me lately. Not even in the podcast sphere.
At least This is Monsters is still good Dreading could take a page from his fucking book when it comes to using clips for context.

 

[The Skeksis Emperor]

Fascinating Horror started a new channel, Kristian Crow.

This is my personal channel. My name is Kristian - though I'm better known as the voice of Fascinating Horror. There's no particular theme to the videos I post here: I like to read classic horror stories, tell some personal stories, and try some experimental formats now and then. Thanks for watching!

It's difficult to find interesting and impactful stories while also making them "ad-friendly" on YouTube. Unless there's some rando with 13 subscribers that is flying under the radar enough to not be btfo'd from the platform, you're never going to find anything worthwhile.
