Some updates (podcast, zine shop, plans!)

Hey everyone! It's been a minute!

I just finally wrapped and printed the TTRPG body horror zine I kickstarted in 2020!!

Before I retake some product photos and figure out social media promotion, I'm soft launching the store for physical zines! Patreon backers (and KS backers) get a 10% off $10+ order discount until the end of the month with the code BACKER23. You can also buy a digital zine here for $5.

I am so proud of how this zine came out!! It features work from Stephen Dewey (Ten Candles), Trevor Henderson (Siren Head), Xalavier Nelson Jr. (Hypnospace Outlaw), Tess Stone (Not Drunk Enough) and a bunch of other awesome authors and artists! Nick Tofani drew the cover! If you liked my Feast for a King video, Kosmic did art for it too! And the inimitable Tyler Crumrine was my editor and project manager as well!

I'm also setting up a Patreon to help fund future issues. I'm still experimenting with it but if you'd like to get in early, there you go :) If you're a TTRPG fan please consider supporting it, it's an exciting project to get in on the ground floor of!

As far as video essays, I have so many scripts I've partially written and then not followed through on. I have one that is about making video essays and trying to reconcile art vs commerce that I spent a lot of time on and even bought some equipment for but I got obsessed with making it a "perfect" return to the channel and stalled out. So I think realistically I will write an essay on Danhausen or Nick Lutsko or something, or make a big video on what I've been up to over covid and take some of the pressure off of myself.

Maybe a video about Dredge. I love Dredge!

I have also spoken to some great writers I know about collaborating with them on video essays for my channel!

I play a gay con man on the Monster of the Week dark comedy/horror podcast Oddity Roadshow. I am still very active on twitter (for now lol). I have a fulltime job and a cat now, so video essays have obviously taken a back seat, and I appreciate everyone being so patient with me as always.

Thank you everyone for your continued support! I hope you're well! If there's any weird media stuff you think I should review/analyze, let me know!
