Is Hellraiser too hot for streaming? That seems to be the word on the street with some YouTube accounts getting pulled or dinged, but how bad is it? The content moderation of certain platforms is always a gigantic headache, so I’m very curious how folks are faring while trying to show this one across places like Twitch and YouTube and if tagging it as Adult and making viewers sign into the platform is keeping channels from being penalized. Let me know what you hear out there. Drama.

We’ll be jumping into Valheim on Monday to see if we can’t tackle the next boss! Will we succeed? Find out! On Tuesday, we’re back with more Fright or Shite and while Hellraiser wasn’t originally on our six games list, I was hoping it might sneak in. Not sure that will be the case, but we’ve got plenty of other games on the list if it’s just too dang spicy. The Frights will continue! Also, maybe the trucking will continue? No guarantees, but we talked about maybe doing the American Truck Simulator road trip stuff this Friday. What if we road trip to a drive-in theater where Abby is playing Hellraiser? Works for me.

Over on the Podcast end of things we’ve got Needful Things going up for The Watchast. How does this one hold up for our spooky movie month? We’ve got thoughts. We’ll have The Ramblecast and Podcast as usual, with even more stories and games about which we chat, share, and spin into beautiful podcast yarns.
