    “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.” It plays into horror tropes using "found footage. "

    Also, “Digging Up the Marrow.” It’s another found footage, but it’s down to earth (in storytelling, not plot) with AMAZING practical effects and an actor who is way too hilarious to fit his role. If you like adult swim you’ll recognize him.

    Edit:

    Also, “Oats Studios” is awesome. “series of experimental short films that envision post-apocalyptic worlds and nightmarish scenarios” -imdb

    SCP: Overlord by Evan Royalty is free on YouTube and a fun watch.

    Also, people might be over it, but I don’t think they realize it’s being updated - Kane Pixels is making more “Back Rooms” content on YouTube aswell.






  • It was more the dicks showing up in class unprompted. Then, it was people sharing links to shock sites. Now we have to worry about people stealing information. That was always a thing, it’s just a lot more common now.

    Edit: I also have to admit, I remember helping the teacher enough with their computer to get Admin privileges by using their console. It was literally stuff liking helping them make a PowerPoint full-screen. I’d download games and then dispense them through little known shared files on the network (usually old forgotten projects). I’d also save shortcuts to google proxies. In hindsight, that was exactly the kind of thing they’re probably trying to stop. I was pirating stuff at a young age. I definitely could’ve downloaded malware and shared it with the network.




  • I’m the oldest of Gen z (late 1990s). I have two younger siblings who are also Gen Z. Typing was a skill we learned in middleschool/ elementary. When I was about 8, we learned how to use google because it was considered a great resource to find information. By the time my middle sibling was in similar classes, they moved away from Google due to NSFW search results. When my youngest sibling was in school, they worried about shock sites.

    They’ve slowly been removing computers from the school curriculum because of fear of outside forces. That includes typing, sadly. This is all coming from someone who grew up in a Plato self self education plan. (Online, self studies)

    Ai is a great tool for VFX and plenty of other things. It’s been the norm for decades. Fake techies turned it into a buzzterm. It’s a great way to enable up and comers without resources to grow. If you’re lazily replacing people in workflow, of course, that’s predatory. That’s what a lot of CEO’s *want, but they won’t achieve. In reality, these tools are being created by the people they’re supposed to “replace” to make their jobs easier. I have a passion for art, programming, and a lot of other things that are “effected” by ai. So far, it seems like fear mongering. Traditionalist always get fucked in the art world. You just kinda shoot for it. (I work in graphite and animation)
