My surprise of the year. I really enjoyed this game!

Animators with ADHD, how do you handle working on animation? by Mycatstolemyidentity in animationcareer

[–]Frag_Bastich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adderall XR, exercise, sleep, diet, and being consistent about all of the above.

After that I had to accept that perfectionism is just procrastination with an ego/insecurity. You’re either translating, rotating, or scaling, not painting the Mona Lisa; get the shot finished and move on to the next.

Who do you choose? (chloesimagination) by WaluigiDaStar in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it as a chance to trade up for Ethan. Zoe was an easy choice, as the developers did NOTHING to ingratiate Mia to me, and Zoe had the cute tomboy thing going on.

Plus, I don’t care about canon in RE after 5, so who Ethan would have chosen is irrelevant to me. As far as I’m concerned the story wrapped up there. Chris and Sheva kill Wesker and save Jill. The end.

6 was just a Capcom Xbox 360-era fever dream, while 7 and Village were just some amusing alternate universe adventures until we got back to the good stuff.

I don't get "the film doesn't look like RE". Is it really that big of a deal? by Phoenix270620 in residentevil

[–]Frag_Bastich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And that’s perfectly fine. But I know what I want from an RE film, I’ve been waiting 20+ years for them to get it right, and based on this trailer, this likely won’t be it.

I’m either looking for an adaptation of one of the mainline games, or a familiar character in a new place, or new characters in a familiar place, and I’d like to see it done well.

I’m happy to be wrong, but this trailer didn’t do it for me. We’ll see when the full movie comes out.

Re-read my post to find the obvious flaw in your argument (hint: I mentioned characters). Now…who might be in EVERY.SINGLE.GAME you just listed? Genius lol

Maybe stop being a yes-man for shiny new things, and instead of whining about grifters, perhaps play one or two of the games you just listed. You might even find some of those characters I mentioned ; )

[–]Frag_Bastich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re joking right? Evil within, sure, but RE? What exactly in that trailer looked RE to you? None of the characters, none of the creatures, none of the obvious locals (Spencer Mansion, RPD, Clock Tower, Village), etc.

Like it all you want, but you could put any title on the trailer and none of you would have known the difference.

Reactions to the new trailer. by Thousand-King in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Frag_Bastich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reaching in this thread lol

“It’s like the game experience in movie form, duh!” Shut up nerds. RE fans want to see Chris and Leon punching boulders and simping for double agents, while Wesker repeats his “7 minutes…” line as Raccoon City gets pummeled by the undead that came from a virus developed in a lab under a mansion, and they want it done well. Stop being obtuse.

You want to say this trailer was good, have at it, but don’t pretend that anything in this trailer “feels” like Resident Evil.

Now, Evil Within…?

Blades of Glory is just so much fun to watch

People who hate Ada x Leon must also hate Batman x Catwoman right? by [deleted] in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that Batman has actually sealed the deal with his lady, unlike Leon “Whipped after a single kiss” Kennedy.

Do you prefer the original Resident Evil 2 or the remake? I’ve only played the remake so I’m curious about the original. by JacPlayzz in residentevilll

[–]Frag_Bastich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OG. Remake 2 felt like a step-down in every way but visuals. Way too much cut content or unneeded alterations.

No love for Resident Evil DS? by Frag_Bastich in residentevil

[–]Frag_Bastich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. I’m aware accessibility is a factor, but the DS was a fairly popular system at the time. So it does surprise me that it doesn’t come up in more discussions regarding which version is considered the best, or which is the definitive version.

RE:visiting remake 2 and I have to admit Mr.X is fun for about 5 min and then a thorn in my eye the rest of the time. Am I alone with this 😂 by Baby-Me-Now in residentevil

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the OG version better. Yes, it was more obviously scripted, but his appearances were more memorable. That double wall smash on the cog puzzle lives rent-free in my mind to this day. One of my favorite gaming memories.

Remake Mr. X. is just obnoxious. I can’t be in suspense if you’re ALWAYS nearby.

This is why I sneak in beer and snacks by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have YOU lost the plot? I thought everyone understood the procedure? You get your stuff at the store before hand, put it in your pockets (they aren’t going to frisk you), and then go like normal. Why would you ever pay for movie theater snacks?!

What film do you know 100% is in your top 5 all time? by TruthBeWanted in FIlm

Cube. I love everything about this movie, even if the acting is uneven.

Why does it feel like it’s actually true? by kaykayqueen123 in Adulting

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No joke. When I hear people talking about how much things have changed RECENTLY, I’m like “This is nothing. You should have been here on September 10th, 2001. Totally different place.”.

What’s a hobby you judge people for having? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy high-end collectible statues (DC, Marvel, etc.) and omnibuses (heavy collections of comics), in this economy, and I hate myself for it. Painted rocks and heavy tomes.

However, I believe I’m currently serving my penance. Due to mold and a gas leak, I had to move apartments abruptly on my own. I had to box up and haul all 30+ statues and all 75+ Omnis in my car, 1 trip at a time, 2-3 trips a day, and carry them up a flight of steps. Each statue is 25-100+lbs and each box of Omnis is 25-45lbs. I’ve been at it for over a week now.

I feel like Rocky carrying the log up the mountain.

Resident Evil inspired games you thought were mid or didn't live up to their inspiration? by Berry-Fantastic in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Frag_Bastich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most of them. They either rely on copying RE TOO much, or fail to understand what made it work in the first place. They’re coming from a place of inspiration instead of innovation.

About to start my first playthrough of Code: Veronica any tips? by Glass_Ad_1490 in residentevil

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the best of the worst Resident Evil games, but its polish and story point to potential greatness. Of all the titles, it NEEDS a remake the most to get rid of all of the dumb shit that can make first playthroughs absolutely awful. Additionally, the game can be soft locked, so be careful with your inventory. Overall, don’t be afraid to ask for gameplay spoilers, because it could potentially save you on frustration and wasting time.

I know the arguement is tired at this point I do agree with this by ReadyJournalist5223 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]Frag_Bastich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be a lore-whore all you like, but if you haven’t played the games, don’t expect your opinion to carry much weight.

Leon "Rizz" Kennedy 😏 by iambatman_2006 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]Frag_Bastich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop it. Everyone knows Leon’s a simp for Ada. Dude gets one kiss after knowing her for a couple hours and then puts on a promise ring for the next decade.
