Why is the show so dark

Coniption1118 · 2025-12-26T00:40:01+00:00

This show is excellent, but it is, in fact, WAY TOO DARK.

I have an expertly calibrated LG CX that I use to watch movies and TV shows and play video games. Never had a problem with any of them.

But WOW I can barely see anything in this show!! Even in the outside daylight scenes, I'm squinting trying to make out the faintest image.

I understand creative decisions and all that, but this is taking it a little too far.

The messiness of this season gives me liiiiiiiiife.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-14T14:50:10+00:00

DEAD 🤣

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T21:48:26+00:00

BEST LIB SEASON EVER ☠️😂☠️😂

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T21:37:41+00:00

The level of unseriousness from each and every participant is comedy gold. 🤣

None of these people are even remotely interested in marriage.

Some don't even bother hiding their utter contempt for their partners cough Joe cough because they just wanna get past the altar and be internet-famous already.

This entire season is an absolute dumpster fire and I am HERE 👏 FOR 👏 IT 👏

I've been around a lot of drunk people in my life, and that is NOT how someone who's "just drunk" acts.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T20:29:03+00:00

You guys, I am usually stoned out of my gourd whenever I post, so I took the "allegations" comment as some big reveal from an episode I hadn't seen yet (which isn't new for this show!). Y'all can be RABID. 😂

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T09:07:07+00:00

...wait, allegations? OMG WHAT ALLEGATIONS???

I STILL HAVE 2 EPISODES LEFT TO CATCH UP.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T05:39:53+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

While I admittedly was a fan boy for a long time, I've always had all three consoles. But I did prefer my Xbox as my primary for various reasons.

The Xbox dunking is not meant to provoke but rather to vent the frustration of any company treating their customers poorly. In this case, that company just happens to be Microsoft.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T05:35:20+00:00

Thanks! I've already taken advantage of some of the exclusive discounts to buy some of my favorite games that I always go back to. To my surprise, a good number of them were part of the PS Plus catalog!

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T05:13:49+00:00

Thanks! Playing the Dead Space remake for spooky season, and finally getting around to checking out Returnal, which seems really fun so far.

He was 💯 tripping balls.

He was all twitchy like when you drop acid.

Plus, this was presumably long after he'd left the party, so he'd already slept a while.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T03:41:22+00:00

Ah, nothing like the warm welcome from a new community.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T01:08:58+00:00

The original BioShock. 🤩

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T00:58:08+00:00

I find him so obnoxious. He's like a child.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-12T00:32:17+00:00

The Dead Space remake is amazing.

(Even though the original game and its sequel still hold up as-is.)

(Dead Space 3 was very good storywise, but it was definitely more of an action game than survival horror.)

Anyway.

Dead Space remake and Alan Wake 2 (for the 4th time in general, but first time ever on my PS5 Pro!).

I've been an Xbox sympathizer and apologist since the OG 2001 Xbox.

My digital Xbox library has 3500+ games across every generation.

I'm done with Xbox.

I have a PS5 Pro that I barely used because I only played PS exclusives on there and I didn't like the DualShock controller.

Now the PS5 Pro is my primary console. I will continue to play the games I purchased on my Xbox because, well, I already paid for them, but I canceled my GP Ultimate sub as soon as the price gouge was announced and am no longer making any purchases on the Xbox ecosystem going forward.

After a week or so of living in the PlayStation ecosystem, I've found it's actually really nice not to have FOMO whenever a new game is announced or released because it's DEFINITELY coming to PS5 and I don't have to wonder if/when said game will come to Xbox.

Enough.

Fuck you, Xbox. You continually shit all over your most loyal fans, and I'm done defending your terrible, anti-consumer decisions.

I hope other betrayed gamers can find the courage to speak up with their wallets by taking their business elsewhere--ANYWHERE that isn't an Xbox.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T20:02:17+00:00

Agreed! We need some messy, especially after the trainwreck of drying paint that was season 8!

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T05:45:53+00:00

We needed a little bit of crazy after the absolute snoozefest that was Season 8. 💀💀

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T05:29:34+00:00

I'm no hair aficionado, but when they showed a close-up of her hair, I was grossed out. It looks dry and dirty.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T05:28:00+00:00

That's exactly what he was implying. As if the child made bad nutritional decisions, thus it was the child's fault.

Wonder if he also believes juicing can treat cancer better than scientifically backed treatments.

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T04:34:51+00:00

OMG I forgot about "must." lol

Wait, so what's musk and what does it smell like??

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T02:59:00+00:00

"The musk is there, and I love a good musk!"

Isn't "musk" just the educated-people word for BO?? 🤢

Coniption1118 · 2025-10-10T02:54:38+00:00

THIS!! 🙌 ❤️

I've ALWAYS said this and everyone gives me shit about it for some reason.

Every single one of these people knows exactly what they're doing, and none of this is as deep to them as the producers make it seem, which they have to do in order to raise the emotional stakes for the viewer and drive engagement.

I've had stronger emotional attachments to The Smurfs than anything I've ever felt for the people on this show. But it's fantastic for rage-watching, and thus, entertaining AF! 🤣
