The Inner Sanctum
The Prince of Darkness has officially landed on Discord. Join the new Rolling with Scissors community for direct access to episode notes, blog posts, and exclusive transmissions.
Transmission 01 Frequency Guess
Bringing a classic Facebook tradition home to RWS. I used to type these lyrics out by hand—a massive pain in the ass. Identify the track in the comments, just don’t be the douchebag who Googles the answer.
The Muscle Memory of a Rap God
While grinding on the new Rolling with Scissors gear store, I rediscovered some deep-seated muscle memory. Turns out, five years away from Eminem doesn’t mean you forget how to keep up with the Rap God. Here’s a status update on the store and a reminder that some signals never fade.
Merch
You asked for it, and the Prince of Darkness is delivering. Rolling with Scissors merch is officially in development. No corporate markups, no hidden profits—every cent above production costs goes straight to WORT 89.9 FM. Here’s the status update on the gear you’ve been demanding.
Signal Lockdown
The Feds tried to put a wiretap on my tracklists, so I’m stripping the signal to its core. This week’s episode notes look different for a reason: we’ve moved to a ‘Blackout Formatting’ protocol to keep the three-letter agencies out of our business. If the playlist looks like it was smuggled out of a lead-lined basement, that’s because the Prince of Darkness doesn’t play the government’s bullshit. The signal remains ours.
Waking Up to the AI War
An IT veteran’s perspective on why the OpenAI military contract is the real-world beginning of Skynet. It’s time to stop calling it “the chat” and start calling it what it is: a weapons system.
The Jetsetter: Custom Retro Gaming PC
I set out to build a practical Windows gaming machine for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a library of retro DOS classics. What Hobbs at H-Mods delivered instead was a fully fabricated, RGB-lit piece of functional art — a custom PC so visually ridiculous I keep pausing games just to stare at the case. From accessibility realities and hardware anxiety to wall-mounted retro gaming and resurrected music software, this is the story behind the Jetsetter build and why modern horsepower is mostly being used to run 1993 shooters.
What the Hell Is Going On With Manifest?
After falling deep into the final season of Manifest on Netflix, I’m left trying to process whether I’m watching science fiction, theological allegory, or a full-blown existential fever dream. What starts as a grounded mystery about a missing plane quickly spirals into visions, prophecy, and cosmic judgment — landing somewhere between Stranger Things and Stephen King’s The Langoliers. Intriguing, frustrating, and impossible to stop watching, this show has officially broken my brain.
Digital Dust
While building the Nine Inch Nails deep dive, I pulled out one of the first CDs I ever ripped into MP3 — sometime around 2000. What I didn’t expect was hearing the digital equivalent of vinyl wear. Not damage… but texture. It raised a strange question: when does outdated audio quality stop being a flaw and start becoming nostalgia?
Silent Vice — When the Algorithm Actually Gets It Right
A late-night algorithm stumble led to the discovery of Silent Vice and their crushing track “Temptress.” What started as a random TikTok clip turned into a full catalog deep dive — and the realization that this San Diego band has been building something heavy, atmospheric, and fully realized since 2010.
