A preview of the Lovecraftian short story I'm contributing to @huntersmarkzine.bsky.social, a Bloodborne fanzine free to download on November 20. It may or may not be based on my own experiences in academia...

A gothic-themed story preview graphic. The text reads:

“You do not see, dear Rom, but you will,” Micolash countered. “It’s a pity you weren’t able to accompany us to Innsmouth. Do you know what we found inside the skulls of those benighted villagers? Eyes, Rom. A veritable feast of eyes. With such insight, even the most inbred and illiterate among the poor fools were able to commune with the Great Kosm. Think of what scholars such as you and I could accomplish.”

Micolash rested the bloodless tips of his fingers on the cherrywood seal of the flask on his desk. The severed eyes preserved in the pale medium continued to float, sightless and unconcerned.

My annual list of free-to-play retro horror games is live on @sidequestzone.bsky.social. There's a gritty mix of fresh blood and decayed favorites in this year's creepypixel harvest: sidequest.zone/2025/10/15/r...

Dreamcore pixel art of an old computer abandoned in the woods. A text box reads: "Play game? >Yes / No." This art was created by teller-of-tragedies on Tumblr.

In less than a month @huntersmarkzine.bsky.social will release a zine to celebrate ten years of the best game ever, Bloodborne. If you'd like to grab a copy and donate some money to a good cause give it a look.

Here's a snippet of my contribution: THE FINAL DAYS OF YAHAR'GUL.

$Writer Spotlight THE FINAL DAYS OF YAHAR'GUL Micolash inhales the final days of Yahar’gul in the form of a strong sea wind stolen from memories of his childhood coastal village. A death smell, salty brine bringing finality. Of course he is working when it comes; he has not stopped working, not since that prophetic visit years ago that showed him his destiny. Still, he is taken by surprise. He regards his fingers. Sickly, frail, arthritic, pressed against the lining of stomachs turned inside out, the smooth underside of lips, the inside of the brain. A vessel held together with sutures he and countless other scholars have placed. A bespoke suit fit for a Great One. Between the scents of decaying flesh and formaldehyde and starched collars of the choir in the church he has built on the bones of innocents, he inhales the briny deep. Yahar’gul is nowhere near the ocean, but here is his reminder that everything returns to the sea. The breeze blows again, making him shaky on his platform. The revelation clenches his heart with fear as he leans onto the vessel, holding tightly for support. He looks down. He is balanced on a piece of wood between two tall ladders. Over a pool of primordial blood, iridescent like oil, but in purples and blacks and grays. The sea wind blows yet again. When he finally understands what the whispers asks him, (not through words, per se, but rather like the sea foam fractalization of the cosmos) he is afraid. Not of the coming of the end of his toils, but rather, if he is ready to meet it. Hunter's Mark: A Bloodborne Anniversary Zine$

Nieve is the new head of Biotheology in a shrinking world. Will she rise to meet the entity devouring society, or will it subsume her?

(illustrated by me)

A promo graphic for Beyond Bringers with Molly drawn in bright yellows and greens. Her arm has been replaced with a twisted gnarl of organic shapes, growing from her shoulder. The text reads:"That's going into me, right?" Molly asks, an intense look aimed at the long needle waiting on the workstation. Her eagerness makes her look like she's boiling, tiny bubbles of desire bouncing around so vigorously inside her she can't even sit still.
Nieve's hand pauses over the syringe.
"If you have any objections, speak now."

The cover of Beyond Bringers. A woman falls from the sky like ink dropped in water, the flowing shapes obscuring her skeleton as is twists and turns in a surreal fashion. An otherwordly landscape made of cascading patterns is behind her. The book's titles is aligned vertically on the right.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

It infuriates me that as human-made porn is being increasingly censored across the board, AI porn is not only allowed, but celebrated. And AI porn exists because of stolen content from non-consenting, unpaid human pornographers. It's maddening.

“I still can’t believe how unhinged the last update was. Not only the nudity but the motions, boobs bounces more realistically, it’s incredible.”

Elon Musk's xAI seems to have relaxed filters on Grok's video generation, allowing users to create and share explicit AI pornography.

I cut back on caffeine which I think has been good but I’m so tired when I get home that I barely bring myself to do anything and tuck into bed at like 8:30 which is bad. There really is not enough time in the day
