Emptiness in Video Games

Haus of Decline ·

2023/07/09

I talk about past video games that use large swathes of emptiness in their design and how it contributes to an almost meditative emotional quality that is lacking from current mainstream games whose design philosophy instead emphasizes massive amounts of content. Games mentioned include: The Wind Waker, Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts, Penn and Teller's Desert Bus, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.~~~Support Haus of Decline on Patreon!Visit hausofdecline.comNostalgia is fleeting,but @hausofdecline

Steven Universe and Parental Reconciliation

Haus of Decline ·

2023/07/04

I talk about the media subgenre that was termed "The Millennial Parental Apology Fantasy" by Vox writer Emily St. James and how I think Steven Universe may be the most significant progenitor of this trope. ~~~Support Haus of Decline on Patreon!Visit hausofdecline.comNostalgia is fleeting,but @hausofdecline is foreverPlease email complaints, suggestions, or requests to hausofdecline@gmail.com Thank you for listening.Explicit Content Warning.

Body Horror feat. Shannon Strucci

Haus of Decline ·

2023/06/25

This week, I am joined by Shannon Strucci (@plentyofalcoves) to discuss everyone's favourite goopy, viscerally disgusting genre. That's right, it's Body Horror. From Cronenberg, to Sweet Home, to Silent Hill 2, to the Old Testament, we do a broad survey of the genre's best offerings, while touching upon how formative personal experiences shaped our curiosity about the world of eyeballs in places where they shouldn't be. ~~~SHANNON

Comics Saved Me

Haus of Decline ·

2023/06/19

On another solo episode, I discuss my existentially-damning sense of purposelessness before I discovered comics, and how even though the industry has a hard time paying artists decent wages, it is a medium that has brought me immense joy and surprisingly, a sense of dignity. ~~~Support Haus of Decline on Patreon!Visit hausofdecline.comNostalgia is fleeting,but @hausofdecline is foreverPlease email complaints, suggestions, or requests to hausofdecline@gmail.com Thank you for

This week, I am joined by cartoonist Jason Novak (@hackcartoonist)! We talk about the public utility of decorative fountains, the field recordings of Alan Lomax and Béla Bartók, discovering the inevitable similarities between you and your parents, the cartoons of Ronald Searle, and our shared suspicion that there may be no such thing as free will. ~~~JASON LINKSJason's Twitterhttps://twitter.com/hackcartoonistBuy Jason's Bookshttps://www.fantagraphics.com/collections/jason-novakRead

The Depressive Episode

Haus of Decline ·

2023/05/22

This week, I forgot to book a guest so I have decided to do an unprecedented solo podcast. I talk about my struggles with mental illness and specifically, depression and suicidality. I go into a long history of my fluctuating mental state and come to an unsatisfying, but honest conclusion. ~~~Support Haus of Decline on Patreon!Visit hausofdecline.comNostalgia is fleeting,but @hausofdecline is foreverPlease email complaints, suggestions, or requests to hausofdecline@gmail.com Thank you for

The Agonophone feat. @rftbAudrey

Haus of Decline ·

2023/05/16

This week, I am joined by Audrey from Radio Free Tote Bag (@rftbAudrey)! We talk about Magic: The Gathering and the arms race of bloated rules text that continues to turn cards into very dry little novellas. We also talk about the current cultural trend toward maximalism and how we are in an era where multiverse narratives are dominant reflecting a sort of grand cultural uncertainty. ~~~RADIO FREE TOTE BAG LINKSRFTB Websitehttps://rftb.meRFTB on Apple

God's Debris by Scott Adams feat. @bonejail and...

Haus of Decline ·

2023/05/07

I am joined by Rory (@bonejail) and Lux (@Tail_boi) for Part 2 of our Scott Adams reading series. This time we tackle his metaphysical text "God's Debris," in which two dumb characters have a dialogue about the nature of God. It reads as if a guy who never smoked weed before independently thought of all the greatest hits of entry level stoner philosophy and then presented them as the musings of the smartest man of all time. It's a delight. ~~~RORY BLANK/LUX LINKSRory Blank

This week, I am joined by Josiah Hughes (@josiahhughes) from 155 (@155pod)! We talk about the somewhat unexpected, but nonetheless triumphant return of the greatest musical genre of all time - Pop Punk. Machine Gun Kelly. Avril. Blink. Mod Sun. It's all here for you. We also talk about defining yourself by your taste in art and how the conflicting desires of that feeling subtly change as you age.~~~JOSIAH HUGHESI155 LINKS155 Websitehttps://155pod.com/155

The Magic of Rupi Kaur feat. @rftbdono

Haus of Decline ·

2023/04/17

This week, I am joined by Dono from Radio Free Tote Bag (@rftbdono)! For some reason, this week on Twitter everyone collectively remembered that Rupi Kaur exists. We read some of her poems and come to the conclusion that she's fine. We also talk about managing your ego and trying to get past the somewhat self-involved quality of modern mental health language. ~~~RADIO FREE TOTE BAG LINKSRFTB Websitehttps://rftb.meRFTB on Apple
