* Deadstream - I watched a horror film about a someone streaming from a haunted location, which is funny because one of my hobbies is watching people livestreaming from haunted locations. It's a horror comedy. The plot came together really well, better than I typically see in horror films or comedy films. A lot of the observations about streaming, twitch chat, etc were spot on. The humor was great. But the elements didn't really come together to me. There was hilarious and perfect parts and I really liked how the plot started to click, but I also watched it in chunks because between the good bits it was boring.

It honestly might be better on rewatch, or as a group watch. Even if you don't watch it, I recc watching the trailer because it's awesome.

* Speaking of horror shows! James Somerton is attempting a comeback as The Gay Raconteur. (more like Gay RaCONteur...) He's been rebranding his privated twitter and patreon account, but some people still had access. I guess you can see the Patreon via mobile but not desktop? Also, he's been reaching out to other creators offering to pay them in exposure for having ripped them off.

Could be worse. This is at least more pop-corn worthy than some of his other possible pivots. I guess a marketing major cannot resist the siren call of having a youtube account that still has so many followers.

I can't imagine the hubris you'd have to have after getting curbstomp shamed off the Internet, come back with a tearful fake apology only to get shamed again, and THEN try to rebrand your same accounts? Wish I had that much chutzpah.

Either that or he just doesn't care, he's just so detached and manipulative.

I'm willing to put a fiver on him pulling some sort of 'isn't this what you wanted from me?' type thing about him being bad at facts but good at telling people what they find compelling.

I saw the news about James Somerton, and all I can say is wow. Some people have no shame.

Yeah, a YT channel with that many follows is something people would die for. I don't think he can resist not trying to do something with it.
