He looks good I think. Isaiah doesn't have a weak chin so he can pull of both looks - he actually looks quite a bit younger than he did with the beard.

Link to the latest Creepcast. Only just started it, and pretty much immediately Hunter off-handedly mentioned his grandfather accidentally shooting the family hunting dog CC is the only podcast I listen to and it's because of moments like this and how unsanitised it is relative to most mainstream podcasting "entertainment" (not that I'm revelling in a dog being killed of course).

I loved how Isiah just kept bringing it up. Hilarious

Momma Meatcanyon sounds surprisingly young. Swear she'd be totally ancient or something.

The rest of the story is just okay. Nothing special. Kind of underwhelming if I'm being honest, like the nosleep guidelines really crippled whatever potential this story might have had, so the dog literally just stood there awkwardly before the protagonist just decides to leave. Gotta agree with Hunter, these out in the woods horror stories are getting really cliché now, especially when all they include are Wendigos, Skinwalkers, and poorly researched Indian myths, legends, and practices.

The grandpa subplot was kino though.

I laughed out loud multiple times

It might have been a better story without the hilarious suffering of Hunter and the tales of his dog shooting stroke grandpa.

To me the faggiest thing about the nosleep guideline is that the comment section has to treat the story as completely real, so in effect they can never engage with the story *as* a story and can only leave braindead comments like "Sorry to hear you were molested by a totally real mannequin named Tommy Taffy as a child". I don't see the point in a narrative based community where you cannot provide effective feedback. Not to mention the guideline skews heavily towards first person narration; it would be very difficult to write a third-person story absent of some gimmick like a police report. Eventually the boys will have to venture beyond nosleep but it seems to be the most fertile ground for Internet horror writing.

Yeah, if there’s a promising but somewhat flawed first entry in a story, the comment section is just going to be sucking it off, any constructive criticism needs to be delivered in a very roundabout way which can easily be overlooked or misconstrued.

 

[Rick The Stick]

I liked this story too. It was simple and creepy and didn't go off into any retarded adventures and wasn't full of smoothbrain choices by the MC. Meat can go fuck himself for unironically arguing in favor of retarded protagonists who make stupid decisions solely to push the plot into new territory. That's lazy as fuck writing.

When I still had a resdit account I once asked the mods what the actual logic behind the whole "roleplay comments only" shit was and before being banned got told "guess this isn't the community for you if you have such a problem with the rules" kek.

Having done zero research into this, it seems obvious that they could just have a sister sub that was something like r/nosleep_ooc where the same OP could talk about foreshadowing and semicolons.

They can't explain why because they stole it. It might have been /x/ or some other site during the early days of creepy pastas, everyone would go along with the stories being totally true but it wasn't some autistic rule it was just the culture. You wouldn't get banned for not going with it. They would just fuck with you for it.

R/NoSleep it the worst thing to happen to internet horror, all the stories are basically the same. I miss the days of haunted video games and lost episodes of cartoons.

She's been in one of his videos before, she is certainly not young but not elderly or anything.

 

[ReasonablyRetarded]

Haven't had time to watch the last 2 creepcast episodes, caught up today and I can confidently say the more "complex"/in-depth stories they cover the more I'm standing by my earlier "Lore-rot" claim.

The latest episode doesn't really have almost any examples because the story is so plain, dry and straightforward.

However, the "My husband/wife took our role play too far' episode has so, SO many cases of it, from both Meat & Goon, both of focusing too much on some elements and completely ignoring others.

Spoiler: Examples

They fixate on seemingly trivial parts of the story & during the comparison between the two but ignore pretty significant plot-points that would put holes in Meat's "same person theory":
-Mention of a dog only in the wife's perspective
-The mention of "spores in the lungs" in the husbands' perspective.
-A body being found(could be mailmans') only in the wife's perspective.
-The MASSIVE discrepancy in timelines, where when the wife mentions hearing the husband skitter around, he was already outside.

It's really getting to me I can't lie, you'd think that two guys with so much experience with the genre between them they'd be able to do a better job of analyzing, speculating and theorizing.

No CreepCast this week

 

[TheOtherSideofMakeBelieve]

I've noticed I've started looking forward to Red Thread every week now. Not sure if they're just covering better stuff or if it's Oompaville/Caleb but I've enjoyed every episode since he joined even on the stuff I wasn't interested in

Disappointed on no creepcast this week, hopefully they upload the live at some point even if it's terrible

They're tards and/or just try to get what they want out of a story and bend things to make it happen.

Not sure if they're just covering better stuff or if it's Oompaville/Caleb

I've enjoyed every episode since he joined even on the stuff I wasn't interested in

Well I think we found out why

 

[BrightonAndHoveAlbion]

enjoyed every episode since he joined

Charlie's voice being one monotonous drone is the most boring thing to listen to when it comes to podcasts. Not to mention his total disninterest in any topic he was presented with. Oompaville brings genuine energy and fits in way better. Charlie's other podcast he was involved with has improved massively since he left that as well.

 

[Curious Lurker]

Might give Redthread it another try, i tried the first episode and didn't like it, but i think it was mostly Charlie. Can't stand him.
