What is the shared wavelength between the creator and the monster? In this episode, Madpo3t explores the intertwined architecture of beauty, art, and the raw frequencies that dictate human perception. Stepping away from the fairytale, we break down the kinetic exchange between Beauty and the Beast. From the mythological collapse of Helen's Troy to the modern visceral reality of The Smashing Machine, we examine how beauty operates as a "soft power" capable of altering the solid state of the beast. More importantly, this dispatch unpacks a core realization: The Artist and the Beast are the exact same biological machine. Both are forced to endure the high voltage of infinite intelligence. The only difference is how they channel the lightning. In this episode, we cover:The Mythology of Beauty: How historical and cultural ideals of perfection serve as both a gift and a destructive burden.The Lightning Rod Concept: Why the extreme sensitivity of the Beast becomes the greatest tool for the Artist.The Compulsion of Change: How archetypes like the Hulk and Mark Kerr demonstrate the Beast's inherent need to bow to a grounding frequency.Nietzschean Standards: The heavy toll of maintaining infallibility and the strength required to wield beauty.Recorded raw and unedited.

By itself, "watching one more" episode or scrolling through social media isn't an issue. But if you're using screens to escape your own intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or uncomfortable feelings, that might be a classic OCD safety behavior. The relief feels real — but only until the screen turns off and OCD comes rushing back. In this video, Dr. Patrick McGrath explains how binge-watching and doomscrolling can become compulsive avoidance, and how to recognize when screens are helping you relax versus helping OCD stay in control.At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life.

Why do we keep repeating the same painful patterns… even when we know better? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Wendy sits down with somatic practitioner and author Lauren Duke to unpack the truth behind repetition compulsion, the unconscious pull that keeps us stuck in familiar cycles of pain, conflict, and disconnection. Lauren shares the extraordinary story of walking across Spain on the Camino de Santiago with her family, a bold, healing journey that helped her finally interrupt lifelong patterns of avoidance, reactivity, and emotional pain. Together, they explore how our nervous systems are wired to repeat what hasn't been resolved, how awareness creates the opportunity for change, and why real healing often begins when we're willing to look in the mirror and take responsibility for our part. This episode will challenge you, empower you, and remind you that even the deepest family wounds can be transformed. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/332 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

God Sees a Jesus Follower as Being “In Christ”; Therefore, God Sees a Jesus Follower as His Son or Daughter MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Followers of Jesus, you are "In Christ" -- God looks at you, as a Jesus Follower, and He sees Jesus in you. Throughout the Epistles we find: "In Christ" or "In Him". In Galatians 3:14, Paul tells you that your faith in Jesus makes you “In Christ” and a recipient of God's Covenant with Abraham: “so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.". Also, Paul goes even further, in Galatians 3:25-28, to tell you that, through your faith in Jesus, you no longer need any kind of intermediary because you are “In Christ” and you have a personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe: “But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.”. When God sees you, “In Christ" as a Jesus Follower, He sees Jesus, the Son. Therefore, God sees you as His son or daughter.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

3,200 Xbox jobs. Studios sold, studios cut loose, studios just gone. And PlayStation is telling us physical discs will be done by 2028. I sat down this week and gave you my honest, unfiltered take on all of it — not just the business moves, but what this means for the actual human beings living through this. As somebody who is currently laid off himself, this one hits close to home, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.This episode covers:-

Dr Xavier Ho from Monash University returns to Bargain Bin Gaymers, and it's Yap Week at the Bulldog — three gaymers squeezed onto one couch, one associate producer named May, and enough industry talk to power a small game studio.Davey, Mitch and Xavier get into the news that's actually mattering right now: Microsoft cutting 3,200 Xbox jobs and spinning off Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs.

Davey brings up the 1983 E.T. moment and asks whether GTA 6 could be the harbingerThe double-A renaissance argument — why Gen Z doesn't care about photorealism and why the middle tier is where the best games are coming fromSony's tone-deaf social media moment — because reading the room is hardA packed Release Radar covering every game landing before end of July: Fading Echo, Tears of Metal, Avatar Legends, Disgaea Mayhem, Dino Blade (yes, a Souls-like where you're a Spinosaurus with a sword), Ronin, Splatoon Raiders, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Halo Campaign Evolved, BloodRayne, Sextet, Mistfall Hunter, Truxton Extreme, and Xenoblade Chronicles XThe Bargain Watch List: Xavier flags the Non-Binary Coded Games Steam Fest (running now) and the "Figuring It Out" itch bundle of queer identity novellas and short stories

Eddie Hobbs is a financial advisor, bestselling author, host of the Counterpoint podcast, and a former consumer advocate turned fierce critic of centralized power. In the early 1990s he took on Ireland's endowment mortgage industry, and later won a Competition Act case that forced the government to bring in consumer disclosure laws. His TV series Rip-Off Republic set audience records in Ireland and helped bring down the country's Groceries Order. In this conversation, Eddie traces his own turning point back to February 2020, and lays out why he believes Ireland has become a testing ground for policies with global reach, from digital ID to stakeholder capitalism, and why he sees critical thinking part of the way people reclaim sovereignty.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.

Xbox just got hit by a sledgehammer. In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank breaks down CEO Asha Sharma's announcement of 3,200 job cuts at Xbox, with 1,600 happening immediately and the rest rolling out through 2027. Sharma calls it a major reset, admitting Xbox margins are 3 to 10 times lower than comparable companies. Four studios are leaving Microsoft entirely: Compulsion Games (South of Midnight) and Double Fine (Psychonauts 2) are going independent and keeping their IP, while Ninja Theory and Undead Labs head to undisclosed new owners. Frank also covers the cuts hitting Activision, Bethesda, ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and Xbox Game Studios, the refocus on tentpole franchises like Halo and Gears of War, and why King and Mojang now report directly to Sharma. It all lands just one year after Microsoft cut 9,000 jobs and cancelled Rare's Everwild.Timestamps:00:00 Xbox announces 3,200 layoffs and a company reset00:17 Four studios leaving: Compulsion, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs00:36 Cuts across Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and more00:57 King and Mojang now report directly to Asha Sharma01:11 One year after 9,000 layoffs and the Everwild cancellationKey Takeaways:Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs total, with 1,600 eliminated immediately and the rest through 2027.CEO Asha Sharma says Xbox margins are 3 to 10 times lower than comparable companies.Compulsion Games and Double Fine are transitioning back to independent studios and keeping their IP.Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms with new, undisclosed owners.No recently announced first party games are being cancelled, and Xbox is refocusing on beloved franchises like Halo and Gears of War.King (Candy Crush) and Mojang (Minecraft) will now report directly to Sharma, showing how vital those tentpoles are.This follows last year's 9,000 layoffs and the cancellation of Rare's Everwild.Memorable Quotes:"Xbox just got hit by a sledgehammer.""Compulsion Games, the team behind South of Midnight, which is a beautiful game, and Double Fine, the team behind Psychonauts 2, are going to transition back into independent companies.""There's a lot of people out there looking for jobs in a very competitive market that's being threatened by AI."Call to Action:If you want to stay on top of the biggest stories in gaming and geek culture, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines wherever you get your podcasts.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#216 America's 250th B-Day-Fuck Yeah! - Podcast Show Notes Summary 7-4-26 Quick Summary Tim and Nate record an early July 4th episode to avoid fireworks. They catch up after a long gap since June 13th with very personal stories: Tim's horrific both-ends food poisoning from a fancy burger meal, Nate's Caribbean cruise (complete with dolphin swims and his wife's severe UV reaction), Nate's first visit to California Adventure, and Tim's luxurious Ocean Shores beach house rental where every TV mysteriously defaults to Michael Bay Transformers movies. The episode then dives deep into video game industry chaos, including widespread Xbox studio turmoil and the official GTA 6 release date. They also discuss Apple's shift to M7 chips for on-device AI, Nate's new motorcycle turf-claiming app, and give a mixed review of the new Supergirl movie. Kara's cookie post sparks a passionate debate about mint chocolate chips in blonde cookies. Detailed Show Notes

GTA 6 preorders are here, but Rockstar's physical edition is already stirring controversy with no disc in the box. We dig into the $80 price point, whether GTA 6 changes the ceiling for AAA games, and what this means for physical collectors. Then we get into a rough week for Xbox: Call of Duty leaving day-one Game Pass, major Xbox Series X|S price increases, and reports that Microsoft may be looking to sell, spin out, or shut down studios like Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Undead Labs, Compulsion, and Arkane Lyon. We also talk LEGO Batman, Stalker 2, Mixtape, 007, short platinum trophies, and our top games of the year so far. Join us! New episodes post every other Wednesday at 12PM CST/10AM PST!

We All Are Filled with Something. The Jesus Follower is Filled with the Holy Spirit! MESSAGE SUMMARY: If you believe that Christianity is just a bunch of rules and laws for you (all of which you cannot keep!), then you really do not know what Christianity is all about. Jesus Followers are filled with the Holy Spirit. All of us are filled with something. With what are you filled? The Apostle Peter, in 1 Peter 4:5-6, admonishes you to be faithful to the Gospel and to live in the Spirit like God: “but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.". Some people are filled with the world or the devil or alcohol or drugs or materialism or their jobs or just themselves. You need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As you walk with the Holy Spirit, Paul instructs in Ephesians 5:15-17 to make wise use of our limited time on earth and to seek God's will through the Holy Spirit: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.". Come Holy Spirit; fill us with your presence and power. Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, why not?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Why does OCD feel more convincing than your own eyes?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova speaks with Catherine Goldhouse, ICBT therapist and OCD specialist.   Together, they explore one of the most powerful concepts in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT): how OCD overrides your mind by convincing you that possibility is evidence.   Catherine breaks down: • Why intrusive thoughts are not the real problem in OCD • How OCD shifts your default from trust to doubt • Why possibility alone feels convincing when OCD takes over • The hidden role of self-doubt, identity, and imagination in OCD   This conversation also dives into: • How OCD disconnects people from their senses and common sense • The difference between normal reasoning and OCD reasoning • Why people with OCD often search for evidence after already reaching a conclusion • How past experiences become stories that shape OCD fears • The concept of "reverse reasoning" and how it keeps OCD alive • Why imagination can become more trusted than reality   If you've ever found yourself asking, "But what if?" over and over again, this episode will help you understand why OCD feels so convincing—and how ICBT helps people break free from its grip.   Whether you're struggling with OCD yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical insights, hope, and a completely different way of understanding OCD recovery.  

There comes a time in every person's life when they must contend with the question: which golf game is for me? For Rob, well he and his dad spent some time this past week hitting the links in PGA 2k25. Patrick and Chia were both won over by a totally Normal Golf Game, (which they will make Rob play next week when the crew gathers at Highground). Unfortunately, there's only so much golfing that can distract from Xbox closing multiple studios, Epic putting AI in Unreal Engine 6, and Don't Nod teetering on the edge of shutting down for good. As bleak as the AAA space is, at least Steam Next Fest has given Patrick and Chia games to look forward to in the indie zone, including Penguin Colony, the next game from the folks who made Umurangi Generation, and even more golf in the form of Sting and Swing, a stylish looking metroid-vania golfing game.Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that's pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list.

In this episode, I explain one of the most overlooked aspects of OCD: mental compulsions. While many people recognize compulsions as visible behaviors like checking, washing, or arranging things, mental compulsions happen internally and can be much harder to identify. These can include rumination, mental reviewing, counting, praying, catastrophizing, or repeatedly trying to figure something out in order to reduce anxiety, uncertainty, or discomfort.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Chris are joined by a second Chris, this one of the Plante variety, to discuss the latter's Earliest Game Of The Year awards. Why now? Because games that release near the beginning of the year often get ignored or forgotten by the time GOTY season rolls around. Also, as of now, nearly 11,000 games have already come out this year. We ask Chris why, despite a glut of same-y industry award shows, he believes we need more—not less—and what the value of those shows could be if they focused more on specific types of games or just generally dared to be weirder. Then we move on to the latest grim tidings out of Microsoft, where multiple studios including Double Fine, Compulsion, and Ninja Theory are now on the chopping block. What's the plan here? Is there one? Was there ever—at least in terms of building a coherent identity around Xbox? Lastly, Nathan gets to talk about the UFC's White House card, to the surprise and delight of no one.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person & special guest Chris Plante- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki says the studio will continue to focus on creativity rather than just safe sequels to satisfy investors. The big news this week is that Microsoft is shutting down multiple studios allegedly, with the first one being Compulsion and whispers of Arkane being next, all while Xbox CEO Asha says they're speeding up development on the next versions of big franchise games. We discuss if it even matters and what the future of Xbox even is at this point. #fromsoftware #xbox #microsoft #compulsion #arkane #videogames #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast

Amid reports of potential studio closures and mass layoffs, Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass June Wave 2 lineup of games. It has yet to comment, however, on this week's rumors that the likes of Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, Psychonauts developer Double Fine, and South of Midnight developer Compulsion may be shut down. Daemon has all this and more in your Daily Fix!Presented by Universal Orlando Resort, and its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

What if the scariest thoughts in your head mean nothing at all? William Schultz spent ten years trapped inside obsessive compulsive disorder. It got so bad he became afraid of his own shadow, checking it every time he flipped a light switch. Then he made one brave decision that put him in remission within two months. No drugs. No endless analysis. Today he's a psychotherapist in St. Paul, president of OCD Twin Cities, and the expert who pushed the International OCD Foundation to revise its own treatment guidelines in 2025.In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and William expose why standard mental health care makes OCD worse. They reveal what actually frees people in an in depth conversation.  If you've ever been attacked by a thought you couldn't turn off, this episode is your way out.

"Walk the Dog!!" written across the top of a six-page letter found hidden in Kouri Richins' jail cell. Inside: instructions for coaching her brother's testimony. The defense she should never have scripted.But the letter itself isn't the most revealing piece. The "fictional novel" defense is. Because when Kouri was confronted on a recorded jail call, she didn't pause. She didn't stumble. She produced a complete alternative explanation instantly — fictional novel, Mexican prison setting, Crest Whitestrips smuggled in by her attorney — like an immune system generating antibodies on contact with a pathogen.This episode traces the psychological reflex that drove every post-arrest behavior: the letters, the calls, the fired attorneys, the message to an admirer about "exposing" the prosecution and the judge and the Richins family. Not strategy. Compulsion. A narrative machine that can't be turned off because the narrative IS the self. When story-production stops, the identity collapses. So it runs. From a jail cell. On recorded lines. No matter the cost.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the recently published No Compulsion in Religion—No Exceptions: Islamic Arguments for Religious Freedom, Cato senior fellow Mustafa Akyol collaborated with a team of international Muslim scholars to articulate a noncoercive vision of Islam. Among the issues addressed in the book are blasphemy laws that restrict free speech in dozens of countries—with Pakistan often regarded as home to some of the most troubling cases.Akyol will discuss the issue with two Pakistani scholars: Husnul Amin, author of the book's chapter on blasphemy, and Muhammad Khalid Masud, the book's academic adviser and a distinguished scholar of Islamic law and theology. The three will also explore how a reformist reading of the Qur'an and other Islamic sources can help build a case against blasphemy laws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Can distraction be a compulsion in anxiety recovery? It is a question that comes up constantly in the anxiety community. Many people are told to simply "distract your mind" when they feel anxious, but if you are doing it specifically to escape a feeling, it can quickly turn into a safety behavior or a compulsion.---Want to talk about this episode with Drew, Josh, and others that are sharing your struggle and understand? We're hanging out in the Disordered Community space:https://disordered.fm/community---In this episode of Disordered, the guys break down the crucial difference between using distraction as an urgent escape mechanism and choosing to intentionally shift your attention toward something meaningful. Drew and Josh look at how the intent and the presence of urgency dictate whether an action is helping your recovery or keeping you stuck in the anxiety loop.Intent vs. Escape: Why how and why you distract yourself matters far more than the activity itself.The Role of Urgency: How sprinting to an activity to stop an anxious feeling turns a healthy action into a compliance mechanism.Attentional Control: The practice of moving your focus to value-driven actions even while anxiety chats away in the background.Rewiring the Amygdala: Why teaching your brain that you are safe requires turning your attention away from the threat response.Listener "Did It Anyways": Inspiring stories from the community, including overcoming a years-long fear of flying and navigating major life challenges while continuing to take brave steps forward.Recovery is not about achieving perfect distraction to prevent difficult feelings. It is about building psychological flexibility and learning that you can coexist with discomfort while choosing where to put your focus.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is available as a paperback or on Kindle⁠https://www.disordered.fm/the-disordered-guide-to-health-anxiety/⁠---Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control?
