October 26th 2025

We’re closing out the last week of October with the final spooky update. All things scary and terrifying do not necessarily need to be the unknown. I often always tell folks I’ll gladly sleep in a graveyard or haunted asylum then on a park bench in a crime ridden city. Thanks to Grizzly True Crime for the video on a deranged person across the globe.

I know I haven’t been actively talking about FGC tournaments in a while. That’s because I personally feel a lot of the major events have been a bit “watered down” as of late in terms of prestige and competition. Someone a while back had mentioned that the Developer / Publisher circuit one day would carry more prize money and prestige than the ones ran by organizations. I feel that reality has finally come to pass in 2025. In any case, the finals for the SNK circuit is on Halloween weekend, and you can find more details about it here.

I know the image above can invoke eye rolling and sophomoric criticism, but I needed to post it anyway cause that’s why you’re all here! Megabonk came out last month and has been extremely successful financially and critically. That’s a fancy way of saying it’s good. Tools have been created to import custom character skins into the game, and basic examples are shown above. As the interest continues, I’m sure a lot of cool looking stuff will be down the road.

Artist is TwistingToxic

I think TwistingToxic has claimed the most amount of recommendations on my site over the years. I’ve maybe recommended him over ten times by now? Expect the the number to steadily increase too, as I have no intention of slowing down. As always, a kind word to his social that he’s awesome would be also be awesome of yourself. His pixiv has a lot of goblins waifus too.

October 19th 2025

I’m going to level with all of your folks this week, it’s been REALLY slow news. I’m talking absolutely nothing happening of note that is not drama related. There are always going to be people who are angry, but there’s considerably less people who are cool doing interesting things. I dug up this potentially interesting upcoming gacha game called MIRESI. Thanks to Chaotik for the footage.

As of the time of me posting this, the current shipping ban to the United States from Japan is still in effect for merchandise “perceived” to be in value of excess $100. There are more details but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that your local Amazon (wherever you are in the world) is conveniently immune to these restrictions due to various “Bezos” related factors. Also, 3rd party “plus” figures (like the ones seen above) are not as restricted. More details in the audio blog (I can’t link stuff), but if you need your figure fix in these times there are still options.

Spooky update of the week relates to real world horrors not of the supernatural kind. You can think of it as “beyond normal circumstances” that lead to the story above. Scary Interesting is the channel and has been a long time recommendation from me for stories worth checking out.

Artist is Aleriia V

Artist of the week is the very talented Aleriia V, who easily could be artist of the month. Very old school “pin-up” style work, and something I think is slowly fading away in modern times. Please visit her socials and send a nice word of appreciation for her talents!

October 12th 2025

Thanks to Scion Storm once again for finding some pretty obscure titles to look at; this one in particular called UltraGirl Alters. I was shocked to find out it wasn’t a gacha game, but a stand alone Steam game (apparently) from the looks of it. It has fan-service and a unique premise to it, so it might be worth checking out if you’re running low on things to play at the moment.

The bubbly Sakura Stardust is making her “lost media vtuber” debut on a new channel SakuraStarVtuber. If she sticks to her guns and only focuses on such content, then she definitely will be one of the pioneers in the field. Let’s wish her well! Check out her first video above and leave some encouragement if you like it.

Spooky topic of the week is a mix of something old and something new. I added this recommendation ages ago to The List when it was running under a different name. It used to be called Supernatural with Ashley Flowers, and it has since been rebranded to So Supernatural. I’m digging it out of the graveyard (ha!) to give it another recommendation to you all during this month. It’s a fantastic podcast about many supernatural topics, and everything is categorized neatly so you can pick the ones you have an affinity to.

It’s spooky month, so doing something a bit different. Talented artist is MonoLiTwec with a lovely walking cycle of Mal0 from the SCP universe. If my last sentence made absolutely no sense to you, don’t worry about it and just enjoy bouncing monster boobs. Hit up MonoLiTwec on their linktr.ee and leave a nice word.

October 5th 2025

I turn around and another month passes, let alone another week. October begins the “try to include spooky topics when possible” fad among the internet and I’m no different. I’ll try to keep things nerdy though. We’re starting off with “games as movies”, and this one is recent. It’s Silent Hill F. If you’re not a fan of the gameplay but like the Silent Hill narrative; sit back and relax while Gamer’s Little Playground does all the work for you.

A game I recommended a while back literally called Your Wife has released Steam workshop support! That means this already niche affordable title has opened the flood gates to the modding community. For those who don’t remember, Your Wife is simply a desktop companion app that creates a fully rendered “Live 2D” model on your desktop. It’s incredibly cheap to purchase, and now that modding has become a thing for it, expect things to go off the rails quickly.

Here is the obligatory dark story for the week. It’s not entirely focused on the paranormal, but dark in its own way with regards to both the individual it focuses on, as well as the subtle societal commentary (maybe at the time) of the incident. Thanks to Lazy Masquerade for the content, as well as a ton of other stuff on their space.

Artist is Aesthetic Meme

I love it when worlds collide, and in our case we have Sadako Yamamura and Brazilian Miku to form the even more powerful Brazilian Sadako. In any case, feel free to check out Aesthetic Meme for more artwork, as they have a ton of good stuff! Also pay their Patreon a visit if you please.

September 28th 2025

Weird gaming filled news week, but might as well make it fun I guess? In any case, one of the most modded games known to man Skyrim has had a recent mod package updated. The only reason I’m even remotely talking about it is because it’s an all in one download that includes a ton of “naughty” stuff, and the prudes on Nexus got butthurt about it. Oddly enough, it’s not Nexus staff this time around (which is startling) but random NPCs that got butthurt about it. More nuance in the audio blog as always.

I got furry waifu baited into trying this game via a thumbnail, and what I ended up with is one of the most awkward gaming experiences I have ever had in 2025 so far. It’s definitely going into the 2025 retrospective rewards for sure, unless something completely unhinged replaces it by the end of the year. It’s not a game worth playing, but a game worth talking about. If you’re intrigued, listen to the audio blog. If you dare however, you can just play it yourself. Thanks to Scion Storm for the incredibly niche title.

Making the influencer rounds is something actually worth checking out and not an elaborate marketing campaign. This game is called Megabonk, and chances are you may of heard of it though your various gaming social media channels. The long and short of it; it’s cheap and it’s fun. Once modding opens up for the game, I’ll probably loose a good hundred hours or so. Thanks to Joshyo for making a video on Megabonk that isn’t AI or 3+ hours long for no reason.

We’re finishing up Synthwave September with Kalax again, who started us off with the first song recommendation. Not much else to say other than I hope you enjoyed the tracks this month and I’ll probably do it again next year if I remember.

Artist is Megumi740

Closing out the end of Summer with one last bikini picture from the talented Megumi740. My mind has been in a haze this past week, so there’s a very good chance I recently recommended this artist. I don’t think anyone here is going to complain though, cause as you can see above - they’re very good at what they do. Send a nice word on their socials as always.

September 21st 2025

It’s rare to talk about YouTube in any positive light, but this particular video from GamersNexus has a somewhat happy ending. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with YouTube being virtuous. It has everything to do with showing the rest of us how things work and what to do if you’re dependent on the platform. A ton of nuance in the audio blog of course, but it’s nice to see the good guys win one once in a while.

Anchor Panic technically released last week, but of course I finish my weekly news updates far ahead of the Saturday night deadline. Still, it has had some time to cook in the oven since release and it looks interesting enough to share with all of you to check out. It has a PC client by the way, which gets bonus points from me automatically. Thanks to Samool for the insightful video.

Synthwave September continues with a rather nostalgia bait music video admittedly. But that doesn’t take anything away from the song itself, which is rather catchy and chill. The artist(s) in question is actually a group called Retrosync that does a lot of thematic 80’s style videos, and you can check out their channel for a lot more songs.

Artist is Secretly Saucy

Artist of the week is not an unfamiliar face, as they have been mentioned a lot in the past and will continue to be mentioned until morale improves. Or maybe I just really adore one of their OC characters and she thematically fits the “end of summer’ thing I have going on. In any case, please visit the talented Secretly Saucy on any of their socials and send them a nice word for their work.

September 14th 2025

My wife and I have been together for more than 25 years this past week. Thought I would share a video I came across that spoke on the current state of discourse with relationships, but not in a cynical way. Thanks to Suburbanwill for the pragmatic explanation of things without diving into rhetoric. If you need the waifu version, check out SmugAlana’s video here.

What if I told you there was a video technically under 30 minutes that would make you a better photographer regardless of skill level? Well here it is in all of its glory courtesy of Cody Mitchell. I only came across this video because I was having a discussion with someone on the importance of settings on a camera, and they said “AI can fix anything in post”. I then kindly reminded them the golden rule, “garbage in, garbage out” when it comes to anything creative.

You want to do some retro gaming right now literally for free? Would you be surprised if I told you probably have hardware (aka an old phone lying around) that can do that? Follow the above video instructions from TechDweeb to start the ball rolling. I give more nuance in the audio blog.

Continuing Synthwave September from a very indie artist FrainkWave. He’s so indie in fact that he doesn’t even have an apparent Linktr.ee, so I’m going to send you over to his Slaps page if you want more of his music. Extremely chill synthwave vibe from the track by the way.

Artist is 蛇腹トルネード / jabarand

September is the official last month of summer, so it’s fitting we try to get as many bikinis in here as possible before the sun starts setting sooner. Artist doesn’t have an English name officially, so I’m going to call them by their Patreon handle Jabarand. Do whatever you need to do in order to show your support for their work!

September 7th 2025

Welcome to the last month of summer officially here in the northern hemisphere. Some life topics this week, starting off with the question of whether or not any of you have considered moving to another country before? It’s lot more nuanced then it seems, but some folks do it quite regularly. Megan and Ben show us how it works in Japan, and a 21 year old me in the past would of MURDERED people for that $300 apartment at 9:51 in the video.

This game came up on my Steam recommendation feed, and it’s apparently a somewhat lewd (?) auto battler gacha style game that’s free to play with microtransactions. Also, it’s hilariously buggy and constantly getting patched daily. It’s called Monmusu and you can see it here. Speaking of patches, the game has a Discord where you can get an “alternative art” patch, but it only makes the characters lewder but no real nudity. Things have been slow, so the game is worth checking out if you’re just morbidly curious about something that can kill a little time. Thanks to Maeka Amaya for looking at it.

Bringing up another game that was recently released on Steam, I think many of you might have forgotten about Horizon Walker. I mentioned this game a while back and played it for a while. It’s fine as a good time killer, although I really wish it had more waifu types. Still the ones they do include are pretty top tier, so if you haven’t checked it out already and want to play in PC - now you can. Keep in mind it’s riddled with a ton of bugs, so patience is strongly recommended.

I’m declaring synthwave September a thing. So I’ll be uploading a recommendation every week for you to check out. We start with a cozy one from Kalax, which will easily be making a return a few times in the future for sure. But for now you don’t think, and just listen with the vibes.

Artist is Piukute062

Make no mistake, artist of the week easily could be artist of the month. But I got to keep my monthly’s a little bit on the reserved side, but of course that means no restrictions on the weekly side. So if you really like what you see above (and I don’t blame you at all), please send Piukute062 a ton of love.

August 31st 2025

At the beginning of this month, I made a comment about how I’m done with nostalgia because everyone wanted to put a price tag on it. I’m glad some folks out there also have a similar line of reasoning when it comes to nerdy stuff. Joey's Retro Handhelds is a kindred spirit for me in regards to the portable gaming market. Nuance as always in the audio blog.

Friendly reminder that Spirit Valley, a game I recommended a while back is now out of early access and in full release! Games can be fun, creative, and lewd (for adults only of course!) contrary to what certain corrupt and or hypocritical organizations out there may tell you otherwise.

I know this is a react video to the original source, but I feel like a lot of you would probably not care too much if there wasn’t an animated waifu talking about it. So hats off to SmugAlana covering it and Luke Stephens LIVE for the original video. In any case, I’m glad there’s an example of censorship I can talk about that isn’t actually related to lewd content, because it’s equally just as important in the absurdity. A lot more nuance in the audio blog.

Artist is Kuma 4Go

Artist of the week is the talented Kuma 4Go. Apparently they’re a very good Vtuber concept / design artist. Although this is outside of my expertise, I do know a good artist when I see one. Feel free to check out their pixiv and X accounts respectively. Please always send a nice word if you like what they do.

August 24th 2025

Very brief update this week due to the upcoming schedule at the end of month. In other words, I’m going to have you all tied up in internet mysteries while I look for more topics to talk about later in the month. So our good friend Connor’s Curiosities will start you off with an appetizer of strange things in the world.

There has been an extremely disturbing amount of video theft on YouTube recently, so I just wanted to make this a short PSA to verify what you’re watching isn’t an AI generated profit farm. Upcoming content creators like Threadbare work hard to do the research and narrate their stuff. I’ve literally seen 1:1 AI bot channels repost a video with AI narration, and they’re quite literally in the hundreds. You’ve been informed I hope.

This video is really for Nikke fans, but I’ll try to make the talking points as universal as possible. For whatever reason, Nikke right now is going through “anti-power creep” from the developers and it’s throwing the community in a weird loop. I’ve always offered a simple solution: pull who you like looking at. Everything else is a bonus! Lots more nuance in the audio blog. Thanks to Skyjiv being the hero every patch doing the math.

More chill music to start or finish out your week. This one is a bit older, but still a goodie. Brennan Wolf is the artist, and if the above video is not loading (or restricted) visit the SoundCloud here.

Artist is しろしす / sh1r0sh1su

Artist of the week is the talented しろしす bringing us a lovely version of Barghest from FGO. I have no idea who she is (not a follower of the series) but she get’s my vote for Death by Snu Snu.

August 17th 2025

We’re vibing and chilling out this week. There are a lot of games out there that I don’t distinctly have an interest in playing. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care about their particular story or setting. So if you would rather just watch someone else do all the hard work and enjoy the narrative, Shirrako has you covered for a lot of games.

Legendary shmup god Jaimers put out a playthrough of Salamander III on the recently released Gradius Origins collection. Sit back and relax as he quickly demolishes a shmup in his usual fashion. If you want to feel even more insecure about your abilities, check out the rest of his videos on various shmups.

It’s been a hot minute since I lasted recommended a DancingBacons video. He’s been on TheList for quite some time now, but I’m sure many of you with busy lives and attention elsewhere have probably forgotten about him. So consider this your friendly reminder that he puts out a lot of chill nerdy / foodie content perfect for watching when you want to unwind. No obnoxious vocal commentary, opinions, or drama. Just enjoy the atmosphere.

Chill synthwave song recommendation to conclude the update. With recent YouTube shenanigans, I’m not sure everyone will be able to listen to the above track. If you have a hard time, the artist KXST has many other platforms their music is on. So if you find yourself blocked or “unavailable in your region”, check out SoundCloud or Linktr.ee. Actually, both of those sites are infinitely better than the clown fiesta that is YouTube, but I digress. We chill this week, no need for that energy for now.

Artist is フランク-兄さん / Rioliogiz

It was quite the task finding a waifu picture with headphones on that wasn’t AI generated. Thankfully Rioliogiz has a lovely waifu with headphones on and is their own creation. Please visit their social and send them a nice word for their effort!

August 10th 2025

Not a gacha game we’re looking at this week to start things off, but a PC game that I’ve been playing for a while now. Star Valor is a fun little space game that scratches that itch for those who like these type of cozy base building games. Speaking of which, they recently got a DLC literally focused on base building, and hence why you’re hearing the news here.

I talked about Elin a while ago as being my addiction of choice. I put 500+ hours into that game before I called it quits for a while to move onto other games. I was waiting for someone to review the game in a way that makes sense. SsethTzeentach perfectly encapsulates what Elin is all about. If you’re still confused about what the game really is, you’re not ready for it.

My one gacha game look of the week, brought to us by Scion Storm. As far as I can tell, this is not officially available yet on the big platforms. It looks like a vertical locked semi-idle game mixing a few genres. If you all download it and give it a play, let me know if it’s any good and if I should suit up. Otherwise, I’ll wait and see until it mass releases to the public.

Artist is HuffsLove

I missed a perfect opportunity last week to tie artist of the week with the topic of ID’s. I’m going to correct the error of my ways with a goblin waifu drawn by the talented HuffsLove. They’ve been mentioned many times here on the site, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Hit up their social to send them a kind word.

August 3rd 2025

Starting off the first weekly update of the month with a lesson in mental awareness. SmugAlana brings us an obvious drama related video, but it’s not my intent to focus on the subject at all but rather the lesson hopefully learned. That lesson is trusting anyone with very identifiable information, especially if it’s a government ID, can be dangerous. I bring this up because a content creator I follow made a big deal about how buying from merchants (local or overseas) who require you upload your government ID to them is “fine”. It is obviously not, for a lot of reasons. This is especially true due to recent events. More nuance in the audio blog.

Nostalgia has introduced a lot of questionable stuff in recent years. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt, we then have to live by the quote “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. LGR is absolutely not the idiot in all of this, to make things clear (he’s awesome!). The thing he is talking about, I leave up to you to decide. Hopefully it’s a quick decision.

Somewhere along the way, I got off the train of reliving my youth. I think that’s because every single opportunist out there sees me as easy prey when it comes to nostalgia. Retro Game Corps does another fantastic review video of a newly released Anbernic handheld which I all recommend you look at. I can’t help but feel these devices at the end of the day are starting to cater to a different crowd however. Lots more commentary in the audio blog.

Artist is Dishwasher1910

This was a spicy weekly update, so I’ll re-link an equally spicy artist Dishwasher1910 for good measure. He’s been around the block for along time, and a previous recommendation in the past as well. Also very vocal about trends in art, so I felt it was thematic for this weekly! Send a nice word on any of his socials as always, and he has a lot of it.

July 27th 2025

It’s that time of year again, and EVO USA is going to be in full swing at the end of this week starting August 1st 2025. If you’re looking at this update in the future, you can check out the various vods of matches that will be created on various platforms of the event. Or you can simply look at the playlists here for archives of the TOP 8 for assorted games.

Probably the most interesting concept I’ve seen in a while, Hunter Roulette is a game based on the Russian roulette game of chance. It is available both on Steam and mobile platforms, with Steam being the much “friendlier” one with considerably less micro transactions. More nuance in the audio blog, but cool game none the less. Linking Forsen for the memes, but if you want a more concise gameplay look, check out this video instead.

Not sure if I recommended this song in the past, but it’s an instrumental love letter to the 80’s, and in particular Blood Sport. It definitely rides hard on nostalgia, so if you’re a young blood it might just sound like some cool chill instrumental only synthwave. Marvel83 has some of the best synthwave in the business by the way, so take a look.

Artist is Hotkeke1

With respect to EVO, we’re going to get a 2-in-1 FGC character in the form of Anila cosplaying as Morrigan. Artist of the week Hotkeke brings us this lovely creation, amongst many others. Feel free to check out their social for more work and links. And of course, always send a nice word to artists appreciating them whenever you can.

July 20th 2025

I mentioned this last week and am doing a follow up about a week later. Lost Sword is in the honeymoon phase and is throwing out everything and the kitchen sink to entice players to try it out and spread the word. This week’s theme is frugality, and considering the game is F2P friendly (at the moment), I’m doing my part.

My pubic service announcement in these trying economic times is that anime figures and collectibles are still affordable. You just have to keep your expectations in check and know certain brand and keyword combinations to look for. Some of my favorite budget waifu options are “Glitter & Glamours” from Banpresto, as well as “BiCute Bunnies” from Furyu.

More freebies this week in the form of podcasts, and that’s where I recommend LORE. On occasion I dabble into the paranormal space and dig up what I can that is interesting. The folks over at LORE however are professionals and have been doing this for quite some time now. An extensive podcast backlog awaits you for non-fiction stories of oddities around the world.

As much as I have issues with YouTube and their various sins, what they still do well is be a platform for music. Granted you may run into multiple ads which I’ve discussed you can find creative ways to bypass, it’s still a good way for artists to get their music known. W O L F C L U B has a deep library of music on YouTube you can check out, and it’s worth it.

Artist is Shchrit

Artist of the week is Shchrit bringing us a cute Ada Wong in Goblin form. Shchrit has a very clean, pastel look to their art which is very nostalgic to me. You can find a lot of their work posted for free on their various socials, and don’t forget to send them a kind word on any of it.

July 13th 2025

For whatever reason this week, I was bombarded in all of my usual feeds with AI news. Whether it be drama, funny stuff, lewd things, and various other topics. So I’ll share some of what I come across that is more interesting, and of course more details in the audio blog for the spicy stuff. ColdFusion starts us off with a story all too familiar.

A game came out this week called Lost Sword. Looks kind of promising for a time waster, and the waifus look mostly on point. My particular worry is that the backing behind this game is from Wemade. Instead of your primary phone, might want to fire up the emulator and watch your network activity. Thanks to Scion Storm for the heads up.

It’s becoming harder to separate the art from the artist. I say this because AI is being used a lot in content generation, but it’s still in the “medium” phase. In other words, AI is not generating the concepts you see in video above, but it generates it once the premise is set. Either way, absolutely mind blowing stuff if you haven’t been keeping up with it. If you want to go down a rabbit hole you’ll never come out of, The AI Daily Brief is your ticket to wonderland.

Artist is SD_Worker

I’ve always had a weird relationship with what now most people consider “conventional” digital artists. It’s strange times we live in since I remember growing up with those using charcoal pens, acrylic and canvas to be the “conventional” ones. If there’s one thing AI has done right, it’s monster girls. More details in the audio blog.

AI generated images are becoming a relic of last week it seems. We’re getting into the early stages of full blown animation by prompt, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to differentiate between hand crafted and not. I bring this to atttention only because I’m starting to see it a lot in gacha games and indie titles on Steam. I’m all for the creative freedom, but some folks may feel otherwise. Nuances in the audio blog as always. Artist is Era1701 above.

Artist is MonsterGirlLite

This is a weird one for me since it will be the first time artist of the week is an AI generative one. But I felt it was proper to do so with a weekly update that focused on the subject. MonsterGirlLite wins my recommendation for the absolute pure fact that they share the same interests as I do. The bias meter is 100% here, and I hope for others out there who enjoy the same to see it.

July 6th 2025

If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years, it’s the ability of people to give hot takes no one asked for. With every new release of a game in particular, there’s certainly a lot of hot air being blown into balloons with holes in them. I won’t go down that metaphor any deeper. Thankfully there are folks that just literally give the game a playthrough and share it with all of us to see how it is. IWinToLoose Gaming is one of those honored ones, and you can check out their experience of a recent Neverness To Everness CBT in the video above.

There’s going to be a $1,000,000 prize pool tournament at the end of the week for Fatal Fury City Of The Wolves. It’s hosted and run by EWC which has a variety of tournaments with huge prize pools. If you’re curious what it looks like to play for a life changing amount of money, feel free to tune in for the weekend long tournament above.

For a non-gaming related topic, my boy EmpLemon released another video on a completely random (but interesting) topic regarding Monoliths. If you’re new here or want a reminder of one of his other great works, I highly suggest this one regarding the perception of rare items.

Artist is Eishun Fujii

Although I really should be saving this for the upcoming Evo tournament weekly update, it was too good not to post the moment I saw it. The artist of the week is Eishun Fujii and you can see a lot of his other beautiful drawings on his various social media accounts. Please leave a nice word for him.

June 29th 2025

Persona 5: The Phantom X was recently released globally on both Android and Steam. I’m not going to even attempt to make commentary on this game whether it’s good or not since the fandom for SMT / Persona in general is pretty divisive to say the least. So if you rather not play the game, you can watch a full playthrough of the story above thanks to Faz. If you do want to play the game, ignore the video and choose your preferred platform to hop on in!

There’s a ton of releases this week, but none of them are necessarily “new” in more ways than one. A recent title called Silver & Blood has had its fair share of controversies, and I’ll leave it at that. My motto on the site is simple; if a game is not a crypto / NFT farm disguised as a game, I tend to be neutral at worse. Cause at the end of the day you can play something with a throw away e-mail or guest account and not spend anything on it while being entertained. I rather leave the user to decide what is best for them, but inform them none the less if things are less than what they appear to be if possible.

Another global release of an older game, Umamusume launched the same week (also on Steam) amongst many others. I’ll be brief and to the point as always; games that allow you to re-roll tend to not make my “shit list” right away. Bonus points if they make the process rather quick and offer a “delete account” button to keep things civil amongst all parties. Although I was never a huge fan of the game’s design choices, I am a fan of their willingness to allow rerolling quickly. Credit goes where it is due, thank you developers!

I was short on time this week since I have a monthly dropping shortly after this update. So I dug back into the Essenger well of music and found this track for all of you to listen to. If you never heard of Reggaeton, it’s probably something you’ll come across sometime in your life if you travel to anywhere in South America. Add an anime waifu thumbnail and my beloved synth sound to the mix, and you get a short but horizon broadening song!

Artist is SuaviCream

Artist of the week is a newcomer to the site by the way of SuaviCream. I welcome anyone who likes the goblin waifus of course, so feel free to check them out on their Patreon or X / Twitter.

June 22nd 2025

Stellar Blade has been out for at least a week now on PC, and that means that the mods are starting to stabilize. I wanted to share a few sources for all of you in case you weren’t aware of them. Credit to Lemi21 for the pictured mod.

Nexus Mods (Most populous, prone to censorship)

Ayaka Mods (Newer site, least censorship)

Mod Discord (Least amount, new and obscure mods)

Not so spooky stuff in June, but rather fun stuff instead. It’s important to see how things are made in life just as much as what is created. In an ever growing world of “clout chasing”, I think it’s good to take a step back and look at how trending videos can possibly be made. This particular topic is paranormal related, but you could easily replace the subject or context with anything else to get eyes on the content. Corridor Crew needs no introduction, but if you never heard of them they do have quite a bit of stuff to watch.

Got another track for you this week, it’s an oldie but a goodie. Lost in my playlist, it was released in a rather “busy” year, hence why it almost got lost in the shuffle. In any case, talented artist credits are Cyazon & Essenger respectively. Feel free to check them out via the linktrees I provided.

Artist is Jabara Tornado / 蛇腹トルネード

June 15th 2025

I felt on doing some public service announcements this week in the form of “actual bad” games you should avoid. The reason I objectively label these games as bad has nothing to do with the theme or gameplay mechanics. It’s the fact that these games are nothing more than fronts for NFT / Crypto farming. I have nothing against crypto in general; it’s not my cup of tea. But video games should be entertainment, and not a weird investment opportunity (or worse yet - a scam). More observations in the audio blog.

It’s ok to like AI slop, as long as the AI slop is honest slop. We live in strange times, where people are becoming acutely aware of what they’re getting into, and that’s fine because it’s all mutual. Run Goddess was a game I recently tried “for the fuck of it”, and was pleasantly surprised it actually was completely honest in it’s advertising! I uninstalled it after a day of course (no gameplay hook), but I did so with silent appreciation of the developers having some form of backbone.

Music recommendation of the week is very upbeat and classic “80’s” vibe. If you find yourself listening to the soundtrack of “yesteryear” in particular to cheesy action flicks; this song might strike a nerve. Magic Dance is the artist and you can visit their linktree for more information and other songs.

Artist is JINGB_DX

Artist of the week is extremely unapologetic in their style with the waifus and I’m all for it. JINGB_DX has an extensive pixiv gallery for you to partake in as well as a social you can contact them on for appreciation. And appreciation is something I wholly endorse you send their way!
