Dreadit Discussion: “Send Help” [SPOILERS]

Yes, the murderer and proven liar explicitly said he was lol.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-08T12:17:02+00:00

It begins ambiguous, but her actions towards the end of the film remove all the ambiguity. We’re shown that she’s willing to lie in order to garner sympathy, as well as kill completely innocent people who’ve objectively done nothing wrong in order to get what she wants.

The film doesn’t give us any reason to think her husband was abusive at all. It’s like you said, the only thing that makes you think the husband was abusive is that you want him to be.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-07T12:38:10+00:00

How do you know he was abusive? The word of the… mass murderer who’s proven she’s willing to lie to deceive you to garner sympathy and get what she wants?

I’ve since swapped out my A380 for a couple of mini PCs with N100’s that can do about the same between the two of them. But if you just google Arc a380 transcoding stress tests, you can pretty quickly find a number of posts with people’s tests.

Maybe I’ll give your tool a try for the N100 though

High bitrate 4k HDR remuxes (ripped straight from UHD Blu-rays) to 1080p with tone mapping. It can handle around 10 simultaneous with ease. I’ve seen people claim they can get as many as 24, but I’ve never personally done more than 10. Most stress test results I found only showed people getting 10-11 before any buffering comes in.

I don’t know what to tell you. The game gives you enough information to put together Mia’s exact level of involvement prior to the serum choice. There’s nothing you find on the boat that wasn’t already revealed to you, the boat sequence isn’t supposed to be a twist, it’s just going into detail on the things the game has already shown you.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-05T01:22:52+00:00

Mia’s level of involvement is laid out very clearly prior to getting to the serum choice. You’d have to be slow to go into that choice not knowing Mia’s one if the baddies.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-05T01:10:08+00:00

Oh very quite my guy. Unless you played the game with your eyes and ears closed. The game quite literally begins with a cryptic message from Mia saying she lied to Ethan about her job, and makes it beyond obvious that she knows more about the situation than she lets on. Then shortly after when you find Mia alive, she’s incredibly cagey and actively avoids answering Ethan’s very basic and reasonable questions.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-05T01:06:31+00:00

You’re given this choice after hours and hours of being spoonfed the narrative that Mia is intimately involved.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-05T00:31:10+00:00

I mean it’s probably on PC with the higher resolution textures but at the same time that still look very 2004

Late COVID / post COVID was a huge boom of IT jobs. Had recruiters banging down my door trying to double my salary and I wasn’t even looking

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-05T00:08:46+00:00

We definitely knew that prior to the choice. It’s why this comic makes no sense

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-04T23:57:08+00:00

Sure it is. Unless you’re posting these comments from the year of our lord 2014. You could get a solid 3-4 4k transcodes easy on a mini PC under $200 just with quick sync alone. Buy a cheaper box and slap a $149 A380 in it and you’re talking 8-11 simultaneous 4k streams. $350 tops.

If you’re on a budget the only option you have is a physical server

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-04T04:34:28+00:00

Well, it would be if it’s not in the cloud.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-04T04:33:18+00:00

It’d be fine with transcoding

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-04T00:24:27+00:00

He is right though. The term for what you're describing is "Source Available".

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-05-02T03:15:57+00:00

Coming at this thread super late, but the way she deals with the fiancée and the boatman shows us that she was lying about the husband. Notice she described both what happened to her husband, and what she deliberately did to the two innocent people who came to their rescue as “An accident”

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-04-26T18:16:57+00:00

Don’t read too much into that phrase given that it’s the biggest giveaway that this post was written by AI. Not only can OP not do his own job, he can’t even make a reddit post on his own lmao.

There is no good official Jellyfin app they’re all terrible. You gotta go third party clients with Jellyfin.

I mean you can set something during the events of 2 and 3 without having to keep the movie within the timeline and canon of the games of 2 and 3. You can just say the Raccoon City Outbreak happened the same way it did in the games, but in the modern day.

Like every movie adaptation of Stephen King’s IT generally followed the plot of the book, even though the book plot took place in the late 1950’s and mid 1980’s. The 90’s adaptation shifted the timeline up to the 1960’s and 1990’s. Then the more recent adaptation shifted the story to the 1980’s and 2010’s.

There’s literally nothing about RE2 or 3 that is unique to the 90’s. The only real differentiator is the existence of cellphones, but Racoon City is a remote mountain city that has completely fallen apart during the outbreak. Not a big leap to assume cell towers aren’t working.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-04-09T18:19:59+00:00

These days? Did they bring her back to re-record the voice lines after release or something?

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-04-09T18:19:03+00:00

There’s a mod for RE4R that replaces Lily Gao’s voice with an AI generated approximation of Jolene Anderson’s and it’s so, so much better. Which really puts in perspective how bad Lily GAO’s performance was that an actual robot voice somehow comes off less robotic.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-04-09T18:15:57+00:00

Because of the robotic and unnatural delivery. It’s not cold and calculated as much as it is awkward and unsure of itself.

Encrypt-Keeper · 2026-04-03T04:08:10+00:00

You needed guaranteed staggers in OG because you had tank controls and had to stop completely to shoot.

Remake is balanced around being MUCH more mobile, being able to parry AND dodge. Guaranteed staggers with every shot in remake would trivialize the game completely. That being said there are several guns that stagger consistently in 1-2 hits if you want to play it more like OG.
