One of the most artistic and gifted ASMR creators in the entire community on YouTube. Gibi looks like a sad joke compared to her.

Well now I know what Geoff Peterson is doing these days.

Wotsa Gibbi? ❔

Wotsa Gibbi? ❔

Not the short, fat kid from the old "iCarly" TV show.
Gibi is easily the most well-known/popular ASMR content creators on all of YouTube. While an ASMR-tist, she's not really an artist. Though she is creative. And, her Daisy character is wildly more popular than she is. But yeah, Gibi went to Business school. She treats her channel as a business. She was fortunate enough to create her channel (just out of fun, at first) during the years on YouTube perfect for doing so. Then with her business background, she was one of the few in the ASMR community to figure out how YouTube's ridiculously complicated algorithm actually works, and she makes sure to cater to it. 'Bout a year ago, someone figured out that she makes $48,000 per month on average. So, that amount is likely higher now.

I don't fault her success. Nor the fact that she turned her fun hobby into a money-making business. But she pretends she doesn't have money, and even worse; is a toxic person (in my humble opinion) in a community that prides itself on being altruistic, warm, caring and loving towards others. I've seen the real young woman behind "Gibi." She let her mask down for just a second, in front of me. And, what I saw was ugly.

Can't we...can't we all, just...get along? Can't we all just get along?

That sounds like something a Vegan would say, Rodney. 🤨

One of my favourite musicians of all time composed a few spooky pieces for Halloween a few years back in '19. This one is one of my favourites.



Seems perfect for a haunted house attraction.

Not bad, not bad. But the X Files music gives me more shivers.

This has all the makings of a good spooky movie soundtrack.

I loves me some Ghostbusters. How about the extended instrumental mix with a hard stop at the end instead of a fade?

I got my costume idea ready.... I am going to be a vitamin. Yes indeed. I was at CVS and saw a sign that said Vitamin B-1.


I'll see myself out.

How scary can 16-bit games be?
Turns out, pretty scary....

In the same vein, I can't let this go without mentioning Faith.

It's retro only in design, not in performance limitations. And the game uses it to very unsettling effect - look at the excessively smooth rotoscoped animations.

FROM THE US GOVT.:

Keep Your Holidays Safe From Fires

​ From lighting jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween to cooking Thanksgiving dinner, the Fall holidays can be fun and joyful. However, they also bring an increased risk of fire hazards. Fire Prevention Week is October 8–14. The week is a good time to review basic safety tips to ensure that you and your family have a fire-free holiday season. Fire safety is important because fire can become life-threatening in just two minutes; a home can be engulfed in flames in five minutes. To give yourself and your family the maximum time to escape, have smoke alarms on every level of your home and never disable a smoke alarm. Remember to replace batteries every six months unless you are using 10-year lithium batteries. Most smoke detectors need to be replaced every 10 years no matter what kind of batteries you're using. Follow these holiday cooking and decorating tips to prevent fires: Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking food. Turn off the stove if you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time. Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Position barbecue grills at least 10 feet away from siding and deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Keep a fire extinguisher available. Turn off holiday lights at night or when you leave the house. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from flammable materials or consider using flameless candles, such as in jack-o'-lanterns. Water your Christmas tree every day, and don't let it dry out. A dry tree is more flammable. Make sure your Christmas tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights and that it is not blocking an exit. Place your menorah on a steady surface made of non-flammable material and avoid spots near curtains or books. Overloaded electrical circuits can cause fires. Reduce your risk of electrical fires by not overloading outlets, power strips, and extension cords. Have an enjoyable, safe time celebrating!
