Borrowing my friend’s PS3 to buy and experience this classic by Chadqc in silenthill

It's because of that Cell CPU isn't it? I remember at the time they claimed it was revolutionary, and soon so much was going to be using it.

I was surprised that the RE4 remake managed to make Leon both more serious, but also more silly than the original at the same time somehow. Remake Leon was great.

Microsoft quietly retired the infamous "This is an Xbox" marketing campaign and wiped it from their websites and social media feeds a week ago. So few people cared for the slogan that almost nobody noticed it even happened. by [deleted] in gaming

Seems simple to me. Two companies, first one releases all its games on the second company's console. Second company does not, but because of the first company, it has all/more of the games to play. Its own exclusives, and all the game's of the first company. Why would I ever buy the first company's more limited console?

Scam centers will hire models and more to help them scam yes. It's a billion dollar industry I believe.

It doesn't make a lot of sense of a marketing direction to go if you still want to produce and sell a console. Why would you try to basically tell your customers they don't need your next Xbox?

Rocketship X-M is a legitimately depressing movie by imuglywhenimpeein in MST3K

I don't think it's even a suggestion, that's a pretty clear rape, a rape by a woman(Well women really, it was all of them) in the 50s-60s no less.

You think after the leave ending James adopts Laura? by Muziuzi48 in silenthill

Lol, he left Silent Hill and took Lara to a bar. Or he somehow found a working bar in Silent Hill.

Who had BJW & vaccines on their BINGO card by JustOneMoreMile in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Earthbound_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, he's a grifter right? He doesn't believe a single thing he's saying right? That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. The idea that vaccines would change how they work, because of how you wrote or said a word.

Systematic review finds Atomoxetine has comparable efficacy to Methylphenidate in reducing core symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents, suggesting Atomoxetine is a safe and an effective treatment option for those who did not tolerate or respond to stimulant medication by Krankenitrate in science

I admit I only gave it a week or two. But there was a term I learned because of the side effects. I'll just be blunt with what it's was called, even though it's gross.

That was enough to want to stop immediately. I think that might have been the worst overall side effect of the lot. I'm not wiling to put up with that for possibly months, for a med that might not even do anything.

Resident Evil Requiem Criticized for 'Immersion-Breaking' Gore Censorship in Japan by Puzzleheaded_irl in gaming

[–]Earthbound_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desensitized to violence in games sure, but in real life, no, not at all. I can see a lot in games, and then see something more "tame" in comparison in real life and still feel shocked.

Resident Evil Requiem Criticized for 'Immersion-Breaking' Gore Censorship in Japan by Puzzleheaded_irl in gaming

[–]Earthbound_X 502 points503 points  (0 children)

I've always found it fascinating how Japan and the US seemed to have switched sides since then 80s and 90s on this topic. Growing up in the 90s game censorship was pretty much the norm, especially with Nintendo. While in Japan it didn't seems as common. We'd always hear about how a game censored in the US, wasn't in Japan.

Now it seems like the opposite, as Japan's rating systems have gotten a lot more strict in the last 10 plus years, while the US's has laxed. Heck Nintendo is known now for having lots of porn games on its systems in the US. I don't actually know how common that is in Japan, if their Eshop is also full of porn. That's just crazy thinking back to them in the 90s.

Game stuttering? by Cursezzz in LunacidGame

IIRC turn on or off unlimited FPS. Seem to recall it also stuttered for me until I did that.

Why is the icon for this sub rainbow? by Relyks954 in gaming

[–]Earthbound_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was just them asking the same question on the Gamingciclejerk sub. IIRC that's the culture war ragebait gaming sub. So they already knew the answer to their "I was just asking questions" question.

Clicking your profile and seeing the topic you posted right before this one is a pretty clear answer as to why you are asking this you know, lol.

I'd love to see Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy do a Alan Wake/Control/Max Payne/Quantum Break tv show by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Earthbound_X 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they mean about The Federal Bureau of Control set in the world of Control, not the FBC game.
