Day 25. For all the people who got bad jeans.

Amanda/iamatrex@iamatrex.com

Happy #hauntalong! Today I'm recommending Slaxx (2020), a Canadian horror comedy about a pair of jeans that come to life and murders employees at a trendy clothing store. Yes. Killer jeans. That's the movie. It’s really silly and really fun.

I'm still going to be talking about the crowdfunding a bunch, I would love to get to 300+ Follows on the pre-launch. But I was advised by folks who know that maybe my first Backerkit wasn't something I wanted to try in a rush.

Some quick deadline updates: - Issue #6 of The Hearth Magazine will release on December 15, to better facilitate the contributors' time - the Backerkit for Volume 2 of The Hearth Magazine will now launch on January 19, 2027. This will save me having to get an issue of the magazine out at the...

People will tell you that only certain folks should play DEAD-PILLED due to the mature themes, but I argue that if you want more people to recognize redpill dog whistles and further bleed the manosphere, then there should be more games like DEAD-PILLED. More games should deal with mature themes.

If you have yet to play DEAD-PILLED or have a physical copy, and are unable to grab the game, let me know. I have some spare and am more than happy to send you one, as well as resources on recognizing, researching, and confronting those who have been grifted into Red Pill thinking.

However, the movie never decides its ridiculous premise is beneath it. You don't have to make your weird idea more respectable before you're allowed to explore something meaningful with it. Sometimes the murderous jeans can just be murderous jeans.

Slaxx is ridiculous, bloody, and entertaining as hell If you like horror comedies, absurd premises played completely straight, or watching terrible retail managers get what's coming to them, give it a watch. For more #hauntalong recommendations, follow this thread! bsky.app/profile/clea...

And then the jeans start killing people. I need you to understand that these are JEANS. They don't have arms. They don't have hands. And yet somehow they manage to strangle someone. I love horror movies.

Underneath the murderous denim, Slaxx is a satire of fast fashion, consumerism, and the way companies use ethical branding to sell us things. Everyone is very concerned about the company's image and its supposed values. The people actually making the clothes? Considerably less important.

The movie takes place at Canadian Cotton Clothiers, a trendy clothing store preparing to launch its revolutionary new jeans. The employees are expected to be relentlessly enthusiastic, completely devoted, and willing to put the company ahead of absolutely everything. So, you know. Retail.

While I have had many excellent pitches I am severely lacking in pitches from non-white people and I am very aware of that. I really really really want to elevate some non-white voices with this so I urge you to apply. Please please please.

In 1958, Muriel Billes hit upon an idea. Why not introduce a form of store currency in the form of a coupon? She took her idea to her husband Alfred, the president of Canadian Tire. Thus Canadian Tire Money was born. This is the story. 📸 Canadian Tire 🧵 1/8

Finally had a chance to actually run Into Darkness. Can confirm that it hits like a truck. It can be done in 3 hours, but plan for 4 if you want to let the scenes breathe a bit.

Dear EA I will give you $100 USD for Dragon Age. Since you're shuttering Bioware, this is the most you'll be making on it anyway so why not go for it? Heck, why not throw in all of Bioware for a real deal? $150 for it all. C'mon, EA. You know you wanna

Very heavy news as our former studio, BioWare closes its doors today. It was a formative place for many. However, many former BioWare devs are scattered around the industry. Find them, support them. Like, follow, comment and help us prove there is still support for the types of games we make!

fun fact: Hawkins Cheezies do not advertise. They don't need to.

I was introduced to Cheezies by @iamatrex.com during the Gauntlet Writing Retreat, and no joke: one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.

At the Gauntlet Writers Retreat, attendees studied how to craft good Paint the Scene questions. Our group created a terrible town named Big Rock: Crocodile Alley Wax Museum What needed downtown service should have been in this beautiful space and central location rather than this stupid wax museum?

Just spent $280 USD on records at #Grimeys in #Nashville. We always stop at Grimeys when visiting, and my carry-on is super heavy now lol
