Just realised after about 4 hours of playing Hellraiser: Revival that my mouth has been open pretty much the whole time 😅 It's so fucking good.

Plenty of people talk about The League of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9... Not seeing much love for Psychoville. It's criminal. Such a beautifully dark and funny series. #Psychoville #Horrorsky

We watched Unhinged (2020) the other night. It was amazing! It seems criminally underseen. At first I was expecting a Changing Lanes style flick but it quickly became Falling Down in the modern day but on hard drugs. I highly recommend it 🔥

Graveyard Keeper 2 has become my new hyperfocus. Lately, I'm jumping on Fallout 76 for the dailies and the Pint-sized Phantom masks and then hitting up GK2. Loved the first one but was buggy as hell. This, aside from some weird screen stuff at times seems so much better 💀 #Gamingsky #Gamersky
