It’s been five years since I last made an AMV, but I felt inspired.

“It’s going to be a little more adventurous, and I hope to inspire a new generation of 10-year-olds to go into the forest to play Rambo.”

That a director could say those words with no awareness of how fucked up they are is pretty terrifying.

My video about that time Goggle AI made up a feud between me and Jessie Gender that supposedly “ended” my channel. Yeah, AI screws up everything and here’s one more example.

Something I think needs to be better understood: corporations & billionaires often spend more trying to defeat progressives than it would cost them in the proposed increased taxes if those people won.

It’s never just about the money. It’s about no longer being the sole beneficiaries of society.

Hades 2 has had its full release and even though I reviewed it in early access, I think there's enough new to talk about since then.

Saturday's video is now in early access for YouTube Members and Patreon Supporters, and I just want to thank @jessiegender.bsky.social for setting aside our "highly publicized feud" to do some voice work.

"My channel is DEAD... according to Google AI" will be live to the public on Saturday.

Something I hope more readers understand:
If an independent author has made their work available anywhere besides Amazon, they're likely losing money to do that.
You get a bigger cut if you go Amazon Exclusive, and the sales you can make elsewhere don't make up the difference for most of us.

Thought I'd already posted this review, but got commissioned to look at Mississippi Burning which... is well made and well intentioned, I'll give it that.

Don't normally discuss spicy videos here, but I'm bitter over the original video actually doing well (by that channel's metrics) only for YouTube to take it down and deny an appeal. That means all comments and views are gone. So yeah, I'm gonna promote the revised version here.

Something I forgot to mention in my Hazbin review.

I love the backstory we get for Pentious frames his redemption comes from doing the polar opposite of his greatest sin in life. It (hopefully) implies redemption isn't one-size fits all, but will vary depending on the reason they're in hell.

Hazbin Hotel is back! So let's see what's going on in Hell, and also Heaven! They seem to be in a competition for who's got the bigger problems.

Watched the latest Stranger Things trailer and all it did was remind me how much I fucking hate Vecna.
I hate his face.
I hate his backstory.
I hate how he made the upside down almost infinitely less interesting.
And more than anything I fucking loath his voice.

I hate that this is the how it ends.
