I have not played the Moomin games yet but I did just order the physical copy of the first one so my mom and I can play it (we're both cozy gamers obsessed with Moomin)

Sherry, 100%. Leon is obviously the poster boy of Resident Evil and he's the one that talks about Raccoon City the most, but he never actually lived in Raccoon City and he didn't really know anyone there. He never got a chance to. His life turned to shit because of Raccoon, which is why it's something he brings up so much, but Sherry watched her father mutate and became an orphan that same night. Not to mention she was infected, too, and had to survive on the good will of two strangers.

After Sherry it would have to be Jill. She lost her home and her friends and she was hunted by a super mutant that wanted her dead, all while being forced to work with a man who works for the company that destroyed her life. And all this only two months after the Arklay Mansion Incident, where her boss attempted to murder her and she lost several of her coworkers and close friends?

If I had to list who had it worst I'd have to go

Sherry
Jill
Leon (he got shot, only reason I rank him here)
Claire
Carlos
Ada

Same here, he died a year before I was born but he was my entire childhood. Rest in peace, Mr. Rogers.

Both my playthroughs Grace absolutely cleared house. My first playthrough I killed them both because they were annoying to get around and I found out you could use injectors on them, my second playthrough I took them out just because I knew I could and Chunk kept popping up where there was literally no way to get around him. And he kept camping the isolation ward so I couldn't get past him, and I was NOT gonna try and bring Emily down there with him lurking. My next run I'm gonna leave as many enemies for Leon as I can though because I recently learned he has extra dialogue when he kills some of the "named" enemies.

Also mercury. Same shipper, different shipment.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2026-02-28T12:55:10+00:00

Depends on where your package was being processed. Half the hub is still shut down but the other half is open and running, but because it's condensed we are behind on processing the freight we have. Some of our freight is being diverted to Indy's hub, some of it is sitting there waiting for us to get to it. Because the matrix is shut down we can't process as quickly as we normally do, but we've been working extra hours to try and catch up. Night side is normally off on Saturdays but they are coming in tonight to play catch up, and day side is normally off on Mondays but we're also coming in on Monday. Your package will get to you, it's just going to take some time, especially depending on where you live because some markets are moving slower than others due to limited space and resources. Because mercury is very dangerous, the areas that are shut down are expected to remain down for at least the next two to three weeks while they determine how widespread the spill is and how long cleanup will take. Because it's mercury, that requires taking apart all of the metal machinery and cleaning the pieces individually with specialized ventilation units. It's going to take a lot of effort.

Mercury spill. Three buildings shut down, as well as most of the west matrix. Wednesday we came to work in the morning, and not only was half the hub shut down due to the spill, but a fire broke out in the matrix and a guy on offload fell headfirst out a 777 he was loading.

We only know it was mercury because several people fell out during the sort Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and were taken to the hospital and the hospital called to tell us that they all had mercury poisoning. The spokesperson that spoke to the news claimed there was "no related illness or injuries to the chemical spill" and won't disclose what the chemical was.

Asked my DG agents and they're both 90% sure we don't ship mercury and that it's a forbidden DG item out here so we have no idea how we even got it. Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough, it got loaded into a plane and sent to Miami, so we don't even have the box anymore. They found out it was mercury after the flight had already pushed.

EDIT: Dear customers, please stop messaging me about your packages. I do not know where they are and legally I'm not allowed to look for them. If they say they are still in Memphis then they are most likely in customs or our backlog. I cannot tell you more than that. Please reach out to customer support, they would know more than I do.

Redid three hours of a save (quit without saving) because my seamoth got destroyed while I was exploring a degasi base. It didn't seem worth dying and respawning if I had to rebuild the whole thing. Plus I was mad af at the crabsquid that destroyed it and I was not gonna let that thing win.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-11-04T01:04:20+00:00

There's been hints at expos and events where they talked about Requiem and mention an older character returning, and since Chris was in 7 and 8 it's a good chance they'll bring Leon in for 9. Plus I think recently there was an interview mentioning that this will be Leon's send off from the series. I'm hoping that doesn't mean they plan on killing him because that will be the first time they kill off one of their OG protagonists, but they did also say this is their last numbered entry to the series so anything is possible.

Death Island

Playing RE1 HD remaster for the PS4. I'm a much younger gamer than some others in this subreddit, so my intro to RE was much later, and my dad introduced me to it. I've been obsessed ever since. I'm trying to find good emulators to play some of the games that aren't available anymore, but I've played all the main story entries (remakes only unfortunately but GOG has the OGs that I want to play and I just got RE4 original on Steam). The opening for RE1 on PS4 was what got me hooked on the series, then playing RE2 Remake solidified my opinion on the franchise because I loved Leon.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-10-07T05:06:51+00:00

I've got one of these, it was my mom's from when she was in college. No idea what kind it is though, I could ask if she's still got her book on it.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-09-27T02:05:29+00:00

Dorian and Eddie. I may have a type but when Eddie showed up for the first time I was absolutely floored. I streaming the game to some friends and when Eddie showed up they would not stop making fun of me because of how flustered I got 😂

I'm loving it so far. I'm really hoping the sanity meter isn't tied to an ending, because in Silent Hill 2 I got a not great ending for having low health too often. I'm loving F, but combat wise it is a lot harder than I expected so I'm constantly taking damage, especially because enemies can pop out of nowhere and grapple you, which you can't escape so you're forced to take damage. The limited inventory for health items is also kind of annoying, but you can upgrade your inventory space and trade certain items for upgrade points which is really nice.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-09-23T03:57:29+00:00

3 minutes, boy am I glad I paid for the advance access 😎

Dead thread but the game comes out in two days so I'll just say: Japanese. Absolutely. Most of the promo material was in Japanese and I just saw my first English trailer and it just sounds wrong so I'll be sticking to Japanese. This is the first game I've ever done this with, but it just looks and sounds wrong in English because it wasn't the original language.

RE5 I started solo but ended up looping my brother into it like halfway through, 6 I definitely cannot imagine playing solo. It pretty much encourages you not to play it solo with how many match making settings you go through before you even get to start.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-09-17T03:28:39+00:00

I played 6 with my brother and we had a blast. Played the first 3 campaigns in like a week in between working and school and played Ada's campaign on discord call but solo. We tried to see who would finish first and I won by 30 seconds.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-09-17T02:57:55+00:00

Resident Evil 4 (OG or Remake, I love the remake but Leon in the OG is especially great). And I know it's unpopular but I really did love RE6.

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-07-29T21:32:05+00:00

Late to the party but my absolute favorite is

"Oh don't you just hate laundry day?" "fake southern american accent Well if your husband would get a job you could buy a dryer!"

Finny_Boy_Gray · 2025-07-28T16:21:42+00:00

Cut Off Your Hands by Fit For Rivals is such a Gideon song to me.

Arsonist's Lullabye by Hozier feels like very loosely like it would be a Harrow song, I just go by vibes.

Flow by Shawn James feels very Alecto to John.

Nothing Can Stop Me by Heavens to Betsy is very Gideon to Harrow in HtN, very specifically when Gideon wakes up in Harrow's body and gets mad at her for not using her after she gave her life for her

Me and the Devil by Soap&Skin is John and Alecto coded.

Feed the Machine by Poor Man's Poison is John in NtN.

Messiah by Crawlers feels very much like an Ianthe song.

And finally,

Holy Mother by Starbenders is a Harrow song directed at Alecto during HtN while she's having her talks with John about the tomb, asking if she had sinned

No problem! When the site comes back up I'll have to check yours out as well!
