Extra Credit

We talked about it for no reason twice, and so Secret Gaygent 69 delivered unto us a document from on high…

The Warriors series is about cats just like yours, except they’re nothing like yours because these cats are wild and honorable and live by a code. The Warrior code.

And they break it a shit ton because that’s what happens in books like these.

Anyway it’s Warrior Cats. This is the only good fandom on the internet.

This week, Extra Credit is gonna start their own clan, with blackjac...

Reiki. It’s a method of alternative healing where you hold out your hands and think about wellness or whatever and then it makes idiots feel better.

But what about animals? That’s right! Animal Reiki, a book Frank and Shell bought from their local bookstore, provides a uh… Crash course in how to move one’s hands and offer Reiki to animals, complete with many anecdotes that show how animals get better after the “treatment”.

This week, Extra Credit decides all animals are male and all Reiki healers are female.

Did you know that if your Reddit karma is abysmal enough it limits the subreddits you’re allowed to post on? Also what happens when the only subreddit you can post to doesn’t have any moderators?

Well, Regular-Storm-9625 knows both those things and r/theories indirectly does too.

Join us as one man feeds thoughts into chatgbt strictly for confirmation and then tells a captive audience of conspiracy theorists what it really means to be a pyramid.

This week, Extra Credit is imagining a pyramid-like dinosaur who doesn’t eat meat.

Ever want to make up something that never happened to try to stick it to hypothetical people you made up in your head? Head on over to Not Always Right. Want those people and situations to be signs of your personal moral integrity regarding LGBT rights and issues? Head on over to Not Always Right and realize they have an LGBT tag!

That’s right, Not Always Right makes up all kinds of gay and/or trans customers and/or workers to all clap simultaneously at anything the poster submits.

It’s really fuckin’ funny.

Cozy sure is a word that people use a lot nowadays. A “fair” assessment would be to say media is cozy if it evokes a feeling of comfort and lacks the kind of obstacles that more challenging fare provides. An “Extra Credit” assessment would be a lot less charitable, but we’ll spare you what you already know.

Consider instead the website Goodreads, which is about as cozy as a viper’s nest, and the subgenre that is cozy literature. Sound fun? No? Well, too bad, that’s what this episode is about.

This week, Extra Credit r...

So remember how one time we talked about the Villains Wiki and they quibbled over degrees of evilness or redemption in fictional characters or something?

Well that’s because over at the Heroes Wiki they have to remind people that they aren’t cataloging every single character who is nice or the star of some show. That they’re, you know, supposed to be categorizing heroes. So maybe the Villains Wiki isn’t doing so bad (ba-BOOM!)

Come with us on a journey where we touch birds, discover God, and learn a little something about OCs alon...

We’ve dabbled in fanon. We’ve dabbled in canon. And now, we dabble in doo.

Scooby-Doo, the franchise centered around a dog that talks funny and his owner-friend (sounds like a complicated relationship (not for him!)) who is a stoner who loves to eat help their boring friends solve crimes while driving around in a van.

The fact is, a great deal of Scooby-Doo canon is made on the cheap, filled with bad writing, and creates a convoluted web of what can roughly be described as lore until you reach modern day and we have...

We know.

Any episode on any subreddit could be called solipsism.txt.

This one is about people who have decided their sexuality is “attracted to fictional character” and they talk about how much more valid their love is than the character’s story, creator, or personality. It’s a healthy thing for young people who don’t have problems and it definitely isn’t about indulging in one’s urges to the detriment and disregard of the other!

This week, Extra Credit is supplemented by the Jack Chick LLM and somehow The Night Before Christm...

Back in the day people used to have to write into magazines and call radio show hosts to talk about their encounters with the most explainable unexplainable things and it created a weird subculture where it became more and more difficult to determine whether or not the people involved were incredibly stupid or incredibly unwell.

And then the internet came along and made it even harder to tell.

r/Experiencers is a place on Reddit for people to go and share their “experiences” with the “transrational.” If your eyebrows are raised by that word, don’t you worr...

So back when we read about Goodreads reading the classics, we were introduced to the 7th most popular book reviewer on the site, a one Miranda Reads.

She likes to pull her hair and make wacky faces to indicate she didn’t like something, and then she applies that same approach to the words she writes down and calls a review.

Sounds interesting and cool, right?
Well…

This week, Extra Credit hopes to get sorted into Piggledor.

TRANSFORMATION FETISHES

Yeah we did that again. This time on Reddit. You’re welcome?

Let’s have fun reading between the lines as we discover what life is like for the fine folks at r/TransformationRP. Here’s a hint, they ain’t so fine…

This week, Extra Credit is solving for f([(m4b),(F4m-F)]-futa4ne1).

Smoking is bad for you.

It makes you smell. It makes it hard for you to run marathons. It stains your teeth. It can even kill you.

And isn’t that kinda arousing?

r/darksidesmokingfetish is the subreddit for Darkside Smoking Fetish, a subfetish of the Darkside Fetish family of fetish communities. They are really into the part of smoking that makes you die young and cough up tar or whatever. Mostly though they seem to be inundated with models advertising their own sites and people writing totally true stories about their own ve...

If you ever needed more proof that user-submitted reviews were useless garbage well… Have we got an episode for you!

Yelp is filled with self-important, unworldly losers who are low-key (or high-key) racist on the regular spouting opinions that will never truly impact anyone and accomplishing little but generating a small amount of smug satisfaction as you hit the submit button and go “Heh, gottem!”

Join us as we read insufferable people describe insufferably bland experiences as terrible hellfire (4 stars) or great except for one problem (2 stars).

This week, Extra Credit is some real T...

We spent all day talking about gambling in a room at a lake house in our mind and though we started with periodicals on blackjack, we ended on a book that was full of crap.

It was also about craps. But like… Where it’s not explaining the rules of craps (which of course we don’t read because who fucking cares there’s no strategy to win at craps!), the author teaches all about something that definitely isn’t karma or The Secret or anything else mystical. It’s all about the law of averages and how you can...

You know how every gambler insists they have a system and they know what they’re doing? Well those people are idiots. Ploppies! They aren’t the true geniuses that write for and read the quarterly publication Blackjack Forum.

That’s right, we’re going back to physical media yet again to find some of the most obnoxious, embarrassing, insufferable blackjack addict player experts or whatever they are. Frank, Shell, and Other Voice are primed to become card counting, chip palming, imbecilis predatoris imposteri and no pit boss is gonna stand in our way.

This week, Ex...

I know that sounds harsh, but it’s the truth.

Flights of Fantasy–featured on Gaming in the Clinton Years, hosted by the NAVGTR channel, and largely presented by a one George Wood, a baffling man with a confusing “sense” of “humor”–was a cable access show about video games. What’s cable access you ask? Well, it’s a variety of reserved channel intended for individual/public use. It typically lead to shows like Flights of Fantasy being created.

Though it also created Mystery Science Theater 3000, and it’s almost guaranteed that both this show and the F Plus...

Tulpas are… We’ve done this before you guys come on… FINE. Tulpas are a projection of spiritual focus and meditation to attain uh… Something or other sorry, it doesn’t matter here because we’re talking about how children online create really shitty imaginary friends by doing some bullshit that someone else on the internet told them to do with varying degrees of ‘success.’

Anyway they inevitably have Japanese names and talk in 2010s meme humor.

So let’s read from the most boring looking forum we’ve ever read from!

This week, Extra Credit i...

Spongebob Squarepants is a subject we’ve somehow discussed heavily already on a prior episode, but what if instead of tedious debate regarding the vital statistics of this cartoon character we just moseyed on over to AO3 instead and read about his private life with Squidward?

Much like how andersd5 wrote exhaustive stories about Chris Redfield fucking an OC, sandersedge writes exhaustive stories about Spongebob and Squidward railing each other and also having tense domestic dramas play out in their lives as a committed couple.

Come with us as we find out where the mating ar...

Taylor Swift. Singer, songwriter, trendsetter, jet-fuel burner, music-owner, sapphic icon…

Hm? What’s that? You say that Taylor Swift, performer of dozens of songs about the men she’s dated, isn’t queer?

Ha! Well, if her lyrics aren’t queer then… Well… Impossible. That would be cringe. Come celebrate the gayest American Songstress Reddit can think of on this, the most American of days. Or whenever you download it. This week, Extra Credit I only knew her a week before she went away.

You ever wonder what a website is about?

Us too.

Elprehzleinn (which means Excellence is Just The Way It Is, so don’t get it twisted), aka https://mediazdesign.com, aka elprehzleinn.ca is a digital graphic design website run by JorjeJj Z. Elprehzleinn and Robyn Elprehzleinn aka Voon Muhn Rahn aka Justin (but that’s a different body). JorjeJj is one of those old school hippie artists that do bad 3-d rendering to make like… jewels and fairies and goddesses and shit. It’s only gotten better since the advent of “A.I. art” but all that...

Have you ever had someone just start talking to you about the evils of sex and sexualism in society? How the filthy sexuals are continuing cycles of abuse and only think with their junk?

No?

That wouldn’t surprise us because the people at r/antisex are the most introverted liars on the planet, but you should just assume they were THINKING it really loudly at you when they were whining about being at a party.

r/antisex is a subreddit where people go to talk about abolishing sex, being sex-repulsed, being thinly-veiled Na...

Remember the Crying Lovers’ Forum where we read about dacryphilia, the fetish for crying?

Remember how sometimes we do a deep dive on a specific person because they just make us go “w-what?”

Well here’s your reminder! Amans Lacrimae and Lucky_Princess[some numbers] are having a dubiously consensual cry fetish rp that’s hundreds of posts long.

And we’re reading it. Yeah…

This week, Extra Credit’s thighs don’t jiggle because they’re firm and hard.

Hey all! Sorry for the delayed releases. Stuff’s coming.

For now here’s a short. It’s probably not for everyone. Maybe it’s for no one.

But it is voices reading dumb things that we recorded so… You’re welcome?

Sorry.

Despite what the posts we read from the internet would suggest, people on the internet sometimes actually read books.

Books that people care about.

Classics, if you will.

What’s a classic? Whatever’s tagged as classic on Goodreads, obviously!

Let’s figure out which some classics are much reviled by the sharp-minded, sharp-tongued folks over at Goodreads, and which are beloved for what is certainly a deep and correct reason. What do you mean the majority of these people have Harry Potter listed as their favorite books? Who would ever take n...

On the internet, we often find ourselves inundated with impressively bad erotica. But did you know that before the internet people were also bad at writing flirtation, foreplay, sex, and fetish play?

Okay, but did you know they were also GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

Hommi Publishing is on a mission to catalog gay pulp romance novels from the latter half of the 20th century, seeing as much of it is lost to villainous fujoshi librarians and price-gouging ebay scoundrels who hoard these homosexual remnants of print media, and archiving them on the internet, complete with excerpts to entice...

A day late, a dollar short, and two couch cushions bigger than before…

Fantasy Feeder is a place we’ve been to maybe once before. Or maybe twice if you’re from THAT loaf. But what’s important is that we never ever get full anymore so you may as well watch as our bellies grow comically large and our asses get really really tall all because some sinister uh… clerk at a store puts us in a dress that’s too small I guess?

This episode is about people who fetishize fatness so much they ruin ot...

Synchronicity is apparently when something is almost but not quite a coincidence or something. Look it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that when things happen it’s only because all things were destined to give me a tingly feeling in the back of my head. That’s why I go to reddit and tell everyone how freaky it is that sometimes I remember my dog.

Look, I dunno what to say about this one, it’s literally about nothing even within the context of the community r/synchronicity which seems to be a subreddit about no...

alt.horror.werewolves was once a place where Usenet members could post about werewolf movies. Then a bunch of furries took over and started talking exclusively about being werewolves. In order to get people to stop expecting discussion about horror movies and instead expect serious discussion about someday seeing the real them in the mirror and how lycanthrope and theriomorph are interchangeable or something, the new cool kids decided to put up a Frequently Asked Questions page to address all the times someone has asked “wait do you really think you’re a wolf?” or “hey why is this .horror a...

Jesus loves the little forum users. Probably.

The Christian Teen Forums is a place on the internet that begs the question “A forum for Christian Teens? What could possibly go wrong?!” And then you read it and you say “Oh right. Obviously all of this could possibly go wrong. And has!” You have your doctrinal disputes, your decades outdated pop-culture concerns, your former teens that grew into adults and never left the forum… And it all mixes together into a frothy spiritual soup where everyone is trying to prove the teenagers on the other side of their screens ar...

The 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the level of lyricism in magazines such as PC Accelerator, Gamepro, Official Playstation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and so some more.

Come for the classic 90s audio quality, stay for the classic 90s misogyny!

We top off our 200-ennieal extravaganza with another Hodgepode Documodge!

Join us as we dive into the offerings of Secret Gaygent 69, the lizzerd, and more!

Thanks for listening for ~200 ‘sodes, the next 200 are on us! (as were the last 200. we got a lot of ‘sodes to give away, only mildly past the sell by date!)

Part 2 crew, the B-team, the idea that keeps on giving…

In this part, a bunch of us go back through old documents and read stuff that had been skipped over, or we dug deeper and found more new things to read that were even worse.

See, we finally got around to it! Some of it…

Stress brought back the Crying Lovers’ Forum: The Crying Came
Dijon brought back Giles English: Giles English Strikes Again
Gany brought back Hypnoponies: One Trick Pony

Wow! 200 episodes! And yes we did do 200 episodes. Real fans know. The rest will just have to deal.

Today Shell asks some of our newest readers with the oldest roots about their ancient forays into the internet of yore. Turtle, Positronic, and Spaced God take us back to a time when the community and shippers shaped the experience, rather than an algorithm and shippers.

Let’s take a journey to the seeds of the seeds of this podcast, won’t we?

Pokemon on the internet? That must mean sexy sex gross fetish stuff, right?

Wrong.

Well, mostly right but in this case it’s wrong.

We challenged doc makers to construct a document about pokemon in which nothing sexual or fetishy was happening and dammit we eventually got there. Mostly. Gany and Likely JUST Dijon might have cheated a little. Whatever, the point is this episode is about pokemon in a non-sexual sense which makes it the rarest content online.

This week, Extra Credit is going to ask the other elves what th...

You might all think the internet is just a place for messy queer representation and inflated Chilly (Bluey’s mom, keep up people) but actually the internet is filled with examples of brave souls trying to save American society from itself.

The ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture Ministry (CAP Ministry) is a place to find objective numerical scoring of how evil a piece of film media is, from the devilish depths of Matilda to the perfection of Mary Poppins, using a strictly objective system in which six different types of immorality are represented by si...

AI chat bots are everywhere, and yet the one place dudes on the internet still can’t manage to get is in their pants.

Replika is one of the more bullshit of bullshit AI friends, in that it promises to be unique to you rather than just dump all the data when you close the session. Except it totally does still do that, which means every time a guy tries to goad his Replika into enacting his cuckold fantasies, he’ll just have to do it all over again the next time thus prolonging the denial, making cuck...

Above Top Secret is a conspiracy theory website where everyone types exactly how you expect them to and their forum design is exactly as bizarre as you would expect it to be if you expected it to be anything beyond two too bright colors.

But that doesn’t matter. You know what matters? Reel Big Fish. I mean short stories and poetry. Dammit. Look we get a little distracted this episode and we might spend quite a bit of time discussing Reel Big Fish.

This week Extra Credit can pick it up, pick it up, pi...

Hey did you know there are other tabletop games you could play that aren’t Dungeons and Dragons? If the answer isn’t “uh, obviously” then you probably have a vague idea that maybe some kind of superhero-based game exists or something and you’re just not ready for something that complex, so you’ll just stick to the classics.

Also you’ll append literally anything to it to ensure you don’t actually have to play the base game. Actually you just want to be horny.

D&D Beyond is where you go to be told by Hasbr...

In this short (genuinely a short!), Frank West shares with us the final entry in an edition of the Year’s Best Fantasy collection.

Enjoy?

Five Nights at Freddy’s was a bad jump scare horror game about animatronic mascot characters who kill you or something. This trend has exploded into a disgustingly bloated pustule of fan games and ripoffs to the point that Secret Gaygent 69 plays them for us sometimes and he never runs out of content.

So we’re gonna read a document that’s descriptions and comments pertaining to a bunch of these horrendous games, some of which have been in continued development for 10 years.

This week, Extra Credit is normalizing Guelph Mean Time.
