Audio Blog 〰️

The end of the year means I’m going to be working on the 2023 retrospective soon. This month’s update will have fewer topics, but each one will be extremely lengthy and detailed. As always, feel free to listen to the audio blog for more details, commentary and nuance for each topic. Also, if you’re a refugee from my YouTube channel, don’t forget to check out my mini-news section for updates. I am toying with the idea of completely posting ONLY to the mini-news section instead of the YouTube community section anymore; but we’ll see.

One of my smaller regrets of 2023 was the lack of updates and content for my “normie” visitors. I know a lot of folks who visit the site have little interest in gaming (especially gacha games) and really come for all the weird stuff I happen to find on the internet. I’ll try my best to course correct at the end of the year with some pretty interesting stuff and will do better next year to be mindful of my diverse audience. So, what better way to dive into the deep end of strange stuff than 10 hours of unsolved mysteries from all aspects of the known world in a single iceberg video format? Hope you enjoy the watch as much as I did and pat yourself on the back if you did the entire thing in one sitting. You should get a life achievement for it!

If unsolved mysteries (which may contain paranormal entries) may slightly put you off, then how about hardcore strange history instead? I think a lot of people forget that weird occurrences aren’t unique to modern times, and that the past actually holds a lot of head turning stuff. Some of the great movies and stories you may have watched or heard recently are probably based off these events to boot. If you think 10 hours in one sitting is too much, maybe this bite sized 1 hour video will suffice.

A final love letter this month to my normies, I will be adding another YouTube channel recommendation to The List. The channel is named after its director Harmen Hoek and is an absolutely artful collection of serene hiking videos out in the wild. I want to stress that Harmen is an artist and videographer, and his videos show this very succinctly. Even more masterfully done, Harmen does not narrate his work at all. He just lets the video do all the work and the music to carry the atmosphere. Excellent material if you need to focus, meditate or fall asleep to (in a good way). Make absolutely sure to check out his other videos and his Patreon to support him; he truly deserves it.

FlipWitch is a game recommendation I was thinking of making back in October and November but didn’t get around to. The primary reason was the entire Unity debacle that put all games made on the platform in a strange form of limbo. Thankfully it resolved itself in a positive way, and FlipWitch’s future thus became secure and released. Without spoilers of any kind, I will say that this game (on the surface) may seem like a spicier lewd game to the newcomers to the genre. But in reality, it’s far from, being one of the tamer games I’ve recommended this year and is a good starting point for those who want to ease into this type of stuff.

Monster, furry, alien, robot, and weird waifus? Did someone finally take pity on me and make something I possibly will really enjoy? The verdict is still out unfortunately since this is technically a preview of a game coming out in the future called Freaked Fleapit; a lewder spiritual successor to Crypt of the Necrodancer. It looks amazing, right up my alley, and apparently strikes that beautiful chord of being a fun game mechanically first with lewd fanservice a close second. Games I have been championing on my site since its inception.

Artists of the month is DISH & Kakuteki. These artists have been featured before on my site, but due to them being removed from my YouTube community section in a recent wave of post bans and violation; I decided to repost them since they deserve the recognition. They are unarguably, heads and shoulders talented artists, and I hope you agree with their work! Make sure to support them using the links above.
