Q: Who runs this blog?
My name's Sophie, and you can find out more about me on the About page.
I started Psychic Damage because I wanted to blog about playful reality TV with a focus on Dutch and Belgian formats . My hope is to become a subject matter expert, particularly from a game designer's perspective, and connect with superfans around the world.
Q: Where can I watch X show online?
It depends on the show and what country you're in, but some episodes can be found on YouTube (or other streaming sites). For links and international subtitles, I recommend looking for a Reddit or Discord community and going from there.
Q: Are there spoilers on this blog?
Yes! I will talk spoilers, but I'll always try to give readers a fair warning when I do.
Q: What does "psychic damage" mean?
It's a concept from social psychology that is also a D&D term and internet meme. I chose it because it aptly describes what reality game show contestants tend to endure.
Q: How can I support your work?
Psychic Damage is 100% free, but you can either buy me a coffee or subscribe to my monthly roundup posts via Substack to support independent blogging!
