A writer with a website: https://varietal-literature.ca/

I was there for the collapse of LiveJournal, MySpace, Google Plus, and now Twitter.

I also host two livestreams a week. One where I read folklore with sfx & drama. The other where I write using Solo TTRPGs & live chat suggestions.

Tis my Birthday this weekend and my sister bought me the game "Bramble: the mountain king".

The #game is "Little Nightmares" but with Scandanavian folklore. Overall, l'd say it succeeds. It is mostly inspired by folklore, with only about half of the creatures being lifted directly from it while the rest are only loosely based on folklore creatures.

However, it is a horror game. I don't understand why the only modern adaptations of #folklore is as horror. Folklore is uncanny, less so gruesome.
