A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

I hate AI as much as anyone, but as far as AI slop goes, this is one of the few redeeming AI video series I have seen, and is really enjoyable. It is a consist storyline written by the author, he is very upfront about what technologies he is using and how he is incorporating them.

I am surprised to find someone else was familiar with the channel given how criminally small its audience is!
