About this episode
In this episode, J. K. Slaughter discusses his recent life changes, creative projects, and reflections on society's outlook on the future.
[audio log / update] A week after recording the previous episode, life has already shifted dramatically. In this episode of The Xeroforhire Podcast, I talk about rebuilding after walking away from my old job, juggling three new part-time jobs, restructuring my schedule around church and worship ministry, and trying to create stability without burning myself out in the process. On the creative side, I dive deeper into the infrastructure I’m building behind Apocalyptiverse and The Last Day. Instead of rushing another crowdfunding push, I’m focusing on systems first — Gumroad integration, website functionality, collectible digital card mechanics, wallet systems, and building something that feels more retro-futuristic and user-owned instead of trapped inside modern platform culture. I also talk about AI-assisted creative tools, the new group banner for the Facebook page, the philosophy behind decentralized ownership online, and why I’m trying to avoid building another exhausting “make-an-account-for-everything” ecosystem. Along the way, the episode drifts into reflections on optimism, conspiracy culture, fear-based thinking online, and why society seems to have lost its excitement…
