an unexpectedly nice audio/video combo

An expression of a general sentiment that's finally coalesced into words during a discussion with my siblings:

I am an absolute sucker for liminal spaces, dreamcore, whatever you call that whole 'aesthetic'. The very specific yet vague childhood nostalgia it draws on, the loneliness, the emptiness, combined with a creeping sense that something isn't quite right here. I love it, and I eat it right up.

The millisecond you show what isn't right- add actual horror elements, or God forbid some sort of entity- the entire specific vibe that draws me in just evaporates. Endless empty corridors? Hell yes. But throw a blood splatter on the wall, and you've completely lost me and completely changed the overall tone.

AKA, that feeling when your sister professes her undying love for 'the backrooms', you get excited, but it turns out she just enjoys playing rainbow reskinned Slender The Eight Pages that coincidentally happens to be set in the poolrooms.

Dearest People of the Page. This is Christopher. In a little over a week from today this page will be marking the sad, two year anniversary of Anne's passing. While I've been moved by the response here to my sharing of personal recollections of my life with Anne, I'm curious to hear how you'd like us to mark this sad anniversary. Should it be a time for celebrating her legacy or would you prefer a more [somber] remembrance? Perhaps I should invite all of you to share your favorite quote from Anne's novels and I can share the posts to the main feed accordingly? And some of you might prefer we simply mark the day in passing and focus more posts and energies on days like her birthday and the anniversary of the publication of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. The tone and energy of this page is largely up to you as we bring her legacy forward. Meanwhile, plans for Anne's Celebration of Life in New Orleans are deepening and accelerating and we should have some more updates soon. In the meantime I'm sharing this photo of Anne from her office in our San Francisco home This would have been taken right around the time she was writing THE VAMPIRE LESTAT in the mid-1980's. Love, Christopher Rice

Old man yells at cloud moment but fr im the #1 advocate for bringing back virtual worlds. Kids need a space to be kids again. They shouldnt be engaging in useless brainrotting discourse everyday! Im acc a hater for kids on social media. Customise and roleplay as your favourite animal like God intended!!!

The Silt Verses my absolute beloved: I'm relistening and was so excited to get back to Chapter 17, and the way that most of the episode just sweeps over you with an unexpected degree of kindness. Important to be reminded that kindness — or something like it — is possible, even in this brutal world.

idk if this is a good prompt but put doomguy in myhouse.wad I think he would find it enriching

Right, so I've been mulling on this one for a little bit now, n I'm not opposed to writing something for you, I'm just not... entirely sure what to write? Because the thing is, myhouse.wad doesn't actually really have anything to do with Doom as a story. Sure, Doom is important in that it's the vessel through which the story is told and one of the connections between the narrator and his dead companion. But as far as Doom itself goes, and the story about a man who was too angry/stupid to die, fighting demons and saving earth, none of that is at all relevant to myhouse.wad and its story. For all intents and purposes, Doomguy isn't actually a character in myhouse.wad. So I'm not really sure how exactly to fit him in there.
