  • Young Souls. I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to couch co-op games if we find one we can both enjoy.

    And this one was good, but it was basically unplayable on the Switch (or, at least, constantly crashed mine). Finally got to the very end (where there’s no saving from the start of the end cutscene until the finale) and it crashed before the final battle. Restarted, got through several minutes of cutscenes, got a little farther but crashed again, this time in the final battle. Tried one more time and it crashed again in a different spot. Promptly deleted the game.

    So I guess we’ll never finish that one.



  • ClickUp has been working for my work projects. There’s a free and a paid version. Free should work for most people.

    There’s a “blocking” feature so you can see what parts of the project need to be done first, the ability to create templates (and schedule tasks based on the start or end date), recurring tasks, etc. I think there’s a bit of a learning curve and sometimes I have to go digging or contact support because i can’t figure out how to do a particular workflow, and sometimes the answer is “it’s in the works” and sometimes it’s the case of a hidden setting.





    • Revamped - a very bad vampire movie written by, directed by, and starring the same man
    • Death Bed: The Bed That Eats - a horrible 70s horror movie with a very literal title
    • From Dusk till Dawn

    I’m also including some movies that are horror comedies that are actually good and fun on purpose in case those strike the same chord with you. Some aren’t strictly comedic, but I think they’re all fun.

    • Get Out
    • Housebound

    • The Guest
    • Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz

  • Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic

    Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they’re now usually 1-2 hours long.

    Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you’re looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful

    Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people

    5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks

    Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions

    If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about “airport books”–bad pop science books

    You’re Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.
