Analog Horror/World Building general - A tranny boys club deciding what should and shouldn't scare zoomers + geek out about cool projects made by people with real talent

[Captain Manning]

Anybody know if "The Sun Vanished" is worth my time?

I remember it starting out REALLY strong, but I never made it that far into it.

Nope, It starts of strong then gets weird when the author troons out and adds a teen girl into the story. Go watch the creepcast episode instead, you are not missing much.

Gotcha. I'll do that. I kinda figured it was gonna be one of those things where the mystery was better than the payoff.

Sad. I remember some the effects being decently creepy. Like the alien spaceship flying across the night sky, being illuminated by a thunderstorm.

Do liminal spaces count as analog horror? I've seen some of those liminal horror backrooms games people like IGP play, and dear god they are infuriating with how underwhelming they are. Some of them don't have a scary monster, just a gimic of "oh I'm in a large pool room that's really big and endless. So uncanny", and that's the horror.

It falls off hard, also the creator tried to start beef by complaining about getting misgendered by Wendi and Meat during the episode.

It's in the same ballpark. Honestly I prefer the walking sim liminal space games, I just wished they stopped using the same fucking pool room/yellow room assets and try to give me some new and interesting architecture to gawk at.

As the faggot named OP, yes. This is for everything Internet worldbuilding and maybe some recs of stuff like that time I posted an Olaf Stapledon related video.

Despite being terminally employed no one has beat me to a very epic update on Casanas and everything related to the Manticore brand. Well, a bit ago, I saw a YouTube post talking about rebranding from the previous name (Mister Manticore) to something more reflective of my personal favourite analog creator is. In case you lost track of Casanas, Alex transitioned and deletes fucking everything. He debated changing the name of the brand to Eve, and now goes by this name. Eve Casanas' community posts are selfies and many variations of "how you doing?".



Eve has fully embraced the meme of barely photographed male turning to at least one selfie a month lady. Not trying to be cruel here but I laughed at picking Eve of all names because of the implication in looksmaxxing circles but alas, some things have happened.

Another shitting plushie with Makeship. This time the Ningen.
And Eve was interviewed about the Monument Mythos.

Additionally there's another interview on the pipeline, this time as part of a series specifically with LGBT horror creators.

Casanas has been mostly ignored compared to Kister trying to pitch himself for real movie deals and Parsons (probably) still being held as a hostage by A24.

Not really, it doesn't help the author kept breaking immersion like when there was a whole out of character thing about the George Floyd stuff, which I get was well-intentioned, it doesn't really work and some people really got to stay in their lane.

I love that the scariest part of Analog Horror is now the fear of the author going insane and ruining everything.
Has media ever been this evocative before?

My theory of trooning out essentially being a mind virus still has yet to be disproven.

I recently found this series that's supposed to be some form of alternate universe for Gundam 0079.

Seems like there's drama attached to it though, because of course there is.

TLDW: Some guy apparently tried to gain ownership of his content, seemingly threatening to dox him if he refused and is now making groomer allegations against him.
So just typical behaviour in the Tranalog Horror "Community".

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

Two things that I've been dying to share and bump the thread:
1) Kane Pixels' deal with A24 is finally moving. No matter how you feel about tranalog, his backrooms series is cool and hopefully his project delivers.

2) Given that Urbanspook's The Painter ended I got two different takes on it based on the algorithm I cultivated on my work computer:

The second one is AntthonyGallego, who considers The Man in the Suit and Dog Nightmares the pinnacle of the genre. He alone has made me reconsider if The Painter is unironic kino while everything he fanboys other gets his stank.

 

[When will it begin?]

Given that Urbanspook's The Painter ended I got two different takes on it based on the algorithm I cultivated on my work computer:

We will have abandoned Earth for the stars and people will STILL be talking about Urbanspook.

Fuck you Wendigoon. No one is still talking about your precious Greylock. Guess he doesn't really have a pulse on what people like.

Edit: I'm not even a fan of Urbanspook, but at least he tried something different.

 

[Talmudic Ketamine]

Fuck you Wendigoon. No one is still talking about your precious Greylock. Guess he doesn't really have a pulse on what people like.

I like both. Greylock is alright with TAPE 012 was the highlight but the creator seemingly abandoned it. At least Urbanspook finished his series, also on a high note.

Yeah Greylock isn't bad. I'm just being a Bitter Betty about the state of analog horror. No one really innovates anymore. For a while I was liking the Jurassic Parks ones but even they overstayed their welcome.

The creepcast episode is definitely the way to go. They unintentionally made the tranny seethe so hard he cancelled the series so there's not really any payoff to be had and the creepcast episode is probably better than any other possible outcome for the series. As you're watching it just keep it in the back of your mind that every time they try to praise it or otherwise be nice there's a tranny somewhere in the world becoming less and less gender-euphoric by the second because not only do they rip on the story while calling him 'him' throughout the entire thing but they rip on the tranny's gangly ass fingers and toes every time they show up as well. Meatcanyon has lost a lot of izzat lately with his faggy ICE spergout but his inner chud just wants to be free and his reaction to TSV's feet is a prime example

I decided to check Urbanspook's The Painter again just due to that fag AnthonyGallego talking about the ending and it lowkey aged better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is high art but yeah, it did what I set up to do and the fact it knew when and how to end is why now you see people coming to it and seeing that the label as the "worst analog" was just over petty drama.

The most common criticism that you see with things like The Painter and all "no-limits" horror is that it can only up the ante to keep its appeal and tbf, that's what Urbanspook does but he knows that he has to and he clearly knows how to. If you ask me, the fact that it took until about the release of MEAT (the episode with the corpse with four stabs used like glory holes) kind of just shows this was always a knee-jerk campaign. There's way more fucked up things in The Painter than that and I'm obviating the fact that from PIGS onwards, Urbanspook not only ups the ante with the goriness of the story but also ups the ante of the production value, which is saying something considering just based on the paintings themselves it already was on the upper echelon of quality.

There's something satisfying about revisiting it way after the backlash and seeing how The Painter improves as a middle finger from Urbanspook to the entire horror community. The superb voice acting, the integration of AI to make up for an earlier episode, the animation of the security cam, the footage used to represent both the hideout and apprehension and then there's the epilogue. I don't want to sound like I'm glazing Spook too much but there's something in how mundane and almost by the numbers Mona's confession is that works with the grisliness of every episode. That AnthonyGallego guy made me believe that she was really blaming the glowies but to me it seems like she is just talking about nothing because it doesn't really matter who does it or for what reason, just that it happened and will keep happening, hence the epilogue's ending.

***

Wendigoon really hurt Greylock in the end because not only it halted as the hate for The Painter was at its strongest, but it now has to live up to the mere concept of an ending and that isn't going to be easy because Greylock is just a /x/ general thread. It has good production value, Gavagang really knew what he was doing but it doesn't matter because it has been 2 years since it was updated.

***

But what has femboy shapeshifter aficionado Alex Kister been up to, besides seething about not being picked up by A24 like his buddy Kane? If we are being technical, Alex hasn't recovered since the last time Wendigoon talked about the series. The last two entries on the MC (Unraveling 1 and 2) were released a year ago and put together barely make for the total views of Vol. 5 (the last time Alex was able to clear 1M views and suspiciously streamed by Wendigoon). This doesn't look like a big deal until you remember that the series started with 10M views. In reality, Alex hurt his own stock because over half of his uploads are adverts for his own Makeship plushies or BlueRays of shit you can watch for free on YouTube, he has released some unrelated shorts that got mild attention and director's commentaries that I want to check just out of morbid curiosity. The teaser for Vol.6 of the Mandela Catalogue was released three months ago to 199k views. Unc is washed.

Wendigoon really hurt Greylock in the end

I have a feeling that anything that exists in opposition to Wendigoon is going to age very, very well. Between him "going Hollywood" as hard as he is by tripling down on his 15 minutes of fame for a quick buck and his disgustingly hypocritical relationship with turbofaggot Meatcanyon, Wendi's going to be remembered for leaving a greasy stain on everything he's touched. Give it 5 years or so, max.

Also, as someone who was following Rob Gavagan for a while before Greylock, I can safely say the dude was really just a bro who was comfortable making schlubby podcasts and chumming it up with the fuckwits from the Revenge of the Cis show. Guy was hardly a Spielberg out here looking to make the next opus. It's no wonder he got bored with the ARG and just dipped out. Where is he now? Probably being fat somewhere watching YouTube true crime videos in his boxers, same as he was before Greylock.

I hate that they all tale credit for this. Oh Urbanspook chose to listen that's why it got better.

I thought you were joking. But he really is selling his shorts on VHS for $30!

Where is he now? Probably being fat somewhere watching YouTube true crime videos in his boxers, same as he was before Greylock.

Well at least he bowed out gracefully and didn't stick around like a shambling corpse coasting of his past success. Alex...

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

And a week after I remembered the shapeshifting femboy existed, he released it.

I have the timing of an autistic wizard fr fr. One hour in and hasn't managed to clear even 5k views. Will need to deploy the Wendishill squadron.
