Regardless of who you are, I think most of us can agree that the last decade has been rough. 2025 was one of the worst years of my life for me and many other people I know. Amid these difficulties, I also feel a shift coming. I can’t tell you which planet is messing with us, but I can make some harebrained predictions based on vibes.

My review of the first three films in the series can be found here. *** I'm officially frustrated. The long-awaited fourth and penultimate film in the Horror in the High Desert series, Majesty, adds little to pique interest in the overall lore. Instead, it becomes more tangled, adding more characters and lore that muddy the water even more instead of clarifying it. I defended the first three movies with the caveat that the last two movies needed to pick up the pace.

It’s easy to blame AI for everything, and to be fair it has decreased the overall enjoyment of the Internet and many services we frequently use. AI made Google Search damn near unusable. It’s led multiple people to suicide. It’s created fake videos that have made people believe things that aren’t real, and fake people to astroturf social media, pushing people away from these sites overall. Don’t get me started on the environmental impact and the thousands who have been sickened or unable to live in their homes because of data centers. It has not made us better; it’s made us worse.

2025 has disappointed me on a lot of different fronts, and unfortunately, the fifth entry in the Hell House LLC series, Hell House: Lineage, is no different.

The knock at the door was so quiet that Jennie thought she was hearing things through the increasing wind and rain. Just as she turned back to the headache-inducing spreadsheet on the computer screen, she heard it again. It was unmistakable this time.

"Faster route available." I frowned at my car's dash, but heeded its advice. I took the left turn onto State Route 78, causing the GPS guidance to chime and recalculate the route. "Now you finally find one," I grumbled. Although being stuck in traffic had set me back an hour, the new route almost made up for lost time.

“Are you finished yet?” Maribel glared at Paige, who lounged comfortably in the backseat of the Camry while she and Erica struggled with the front tire’s lug nuts. Paige was too perfect and delicate for such work, of course. “Probably would have it by now with another set of hands, asshole.”

Dragon Age: The Veilguard box art Dragon Age: The Veilguard caught an unfathomable amount of shit even before its release. It was criticized for looking too “Disney,” too “modern,” and having LGBTQ+ elements. One can even argue that these criticisms caused the game to have the lowest sales of any Dragon Age game. It was review bombed for its “wokeness” and further development and DLC seems to have a snowball’s chance in hell.

I have a coworker who I really hate working with. As it’s a professional setting, and overall, they are still part of the team, I kept this to myself for a long time. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic when masks were in short supply, I sewed them a mask like I did for other coworkers, friends, family, or community members.

Just one hour. Eddie’s stomach roared so loudly Ruby heard it from the other side of the glass. She stared at him, searching his clammy face for any change.

"Just finished your story. Everyone is dead, right?” my beta reader/husband said after finishing my latest work in progress.

I’ve written before about how social media has reinforced some questionable behaviors. It has never been easier to see than with the mass exodus of users from Twitter/X to Bluesky. While initially funny to watch trolls spiral as they can no longer obtain their sustenance, it’s indicative of a larger and much sadder social issue that we’ll all have to reckon with.
