I don't really keep a list anywhere, but here's some of my perennial favorites. Some of them are probably well known enough that you've read/seen them before, but hey, here you go:
NoSleep: The Whistlers. I love this one. Good monster, good writing, just solid. Find all the parts, well worth imo.
Ted the Caver. Holy shit what a classic. This made my heart thump when I first read it.
The Rake. Not the original (the first clump of creepypastas can be found here), but a pretty good found footage "film". Fairly short, but just long enough to not wear out the welcome.
EverymanHYBRID, probably my favorite Slenderman Youtube series. Watch in the order suggested on the wiki. Marble Hornets was original, and the first "season" was really good, but once they tried to be actors it pretty much fell apart in my eyes. EverymanHYBRID is better imo.
Ben Drowned is another classic creepypasta. I remember reading this years ago, still pretty good.
Tulpa is a pretty good one.
I don't remember where I originally read the ones off the wiki (probably on /x/, it was around that time I guess), but those are some pretty good ones.

I figured, I basically just read what I come across so I mostly just know the popular stuff.
/r/nosleep is pretty good. Just stick to the monthly winners and the top stories of all time and there's a lot of good stuff. Creepypasta Wiki and some of SCP are solid too.

Dr. H's Horror Thread has a bunch of good stuff.
And now I know what I'll be perusing for the umpteenth time this afternoon.

Nice, will skim later.

All right, thanks a bunch guys. I'm gonna start reading the Horror thread. I saw most of the movies except for May and V/H/S. I've read House of Leaves but none of the rest.

Over 24 hours in. We gonna make it.
But seriously. One of the most emotionally difficult things I've experienced for a long time.
|
Because of all the attention needed and how draining it can be, or for other reasons?

If you tihnk I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream is a good book, try the even better video game!
Seriously it exists look it up.

I am afraid my life has been too boring to have any remotely supernatural stories. The last time I was scared of any kind of supernatural entity I was 6 or younger and it was the boogeyman. Anytime someone flushed a toilet the house would start creaking and I would think that was him stepping around looking for me. Only scary at night of course.

Smite moving to Steam. Is that odd? It shouldn't feel odd, but it kinda does. Like, I don't think Valve cares that there's another moba in their launcher, especially one different enough that it doesn't directly(?) compete. But it feels like it should be awkward for some reason.

Valve don't care, they getting paid so why should they care about what is real talk a product that is doubtful to ever be an actual rival to them.

Smite won't ever compete with dota I'm pretty sure. Dota's market system and player base is too entrenched right now to even bother. Remember the twitch graph where they marked all the clusters of viewers? Dota is a separate entity pretty much.
|
All right, I'll add both the video game and book to my list.
@phyvo It's pretty much the same for me, which is why I need horror to get over my boring life, lol.

They also completely different games lol. Don't think it has much to do with entrenchment.

Yeah, probably true. I don't ever see Smite being LoL or Dota2 level popular, despite it being a unique and quite fun game. It should be, imo, but realistically probably never will.

There are a ton of second-rate mobas already on Steam. Valve really doesn't care about any of them competing with DotA at all.
