Very short MM this week as my irl job and life has been kinda crazy recently. Also, I’m getting together my BEST OF 2025 lists starting December 1st

YouTube Obsession

I love a good conspiracy, that’s been known. But few people actually present conspiracy videos well. Most channels that basically read wiki articles like creepypasta¹ and even worse channels somehow always end up blaming the Jews. This is lame.

Good conspiracy channels actually present production and cited works.

Also, with FLESH SIMULATOR, he just looks and sounds like a dude that would totally have thoughts on conspiracy theories, totally adding to my enjoyment of his content.

Please peep this great breakdown of WTC7: The video that got me into his stuff.

Playing

Tarkov has finally hit 1.0! It’s not going well!

It’s going well in the sense that it’s popular, not well in that it’s broke af. This surprises no one. The design goals of BattleState Games have always been incongruent with the game people were enjoying. It’s really hard to root for this game when it has been so badly mismanaged.

Meanwhile whenever I have the urge to play I’ll boot up SPT.

Other Notables

** Romance is a Sub-Genre of Horror

** Their ability to slink into the world of the rich and powerful is no coincidence: their comfort in those spaces is a product of their identity, which also makes them prone to falling into the habits of the people they’re supposed to be covering.

** I love that Square was like: “Who would want a Final Fantasy X Yuna t-shirt? Ah yes, the homos.”

1  Don’t get me wrong I like channels like this too.
