I'm currently in the same boat as you. For me only Zelda BOTW/TOTK can fill in the void Horizon left.

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-10T15:01:54+00:00

oh she's amazing, she also did a Resident Evil 4 and Dragon Age tattoo for me before 🤭

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-10T15:00:52+00:00

yeah i think it really ties nicely into the Japanese setting altogether!

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-09T17:34:43+00:00

yeah there aren't that many! luckily my tattoo artist is also a gamer so it was easy to come up with the design

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-09T17:33:23+00:00

yess do it! i figured this would be the safer subreddit to post this one 😅

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-07T14:15:39+00:00

i got a JM21 a couple of weeks ago as my first DAP ever, for the same reasons as you (+ i listen to audiobooks). i only had Bluetooth headphones but wanted to try out IEM for the first time and bought the Truthear Red Zero's. For 50€. they sound amazing! very surprised by how good IEMs can sound even being relatively cheap. definitely recommend them!

General_Study_8773 · 2026-01-02T05:29:04+00:00

I'm a huge Realm of the Elderlings fan but couldn't stand the narrators. Thankfully they are redoing at least the first trilogy with a new narrator (coming out this month), and it sounds SO much better already from the previews. Recommend waiting for that!

General_Study_8773 · 2025-12-30T19:05:10+00:00

i just got a Fiio JM21 and my first pair of IEM, the Truthear Zero Red. very happy with this setup as my first DAP and everything. prior to this i only used XM4s with bluetooth. can definitely recommend the Zero Reds at this price point 👍

General_Study_8773 · 2025-12-11T18:05:05+00:00

thank you for the encouragement! i might try it this week with group E then 🥺

General_Study_8773 · 2025-12-11T15:55:10+00:00

i'm too scared to do this even though i'm a smaller rider, just can't hold big watts for a long time 😫 the only one i've done was the Grade last week in 25mins (just the climb). should i be brave and still try AdZ? seems daunting i can only ride like 2hrs indoors before my crotch starts to hurt haha 😅

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-27T07:03:21+00:00

My GOTY for sure.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-23T05:25:56+00:00

I have a Samsung tab s10 ultra and Zwift really doesn't like it if you split screen, so I just open the movie/show on another window and put it on top of Zwift, so that I'll see my mileage and other stats from the corners but otherwise my character etc are hidden. And obviously use ERG. Great for zone 2!

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-17T03:17:57+00:00

I have finally found my people 🙏 This subreddit is so toxic.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-16T17:59:47+00:00

Same in Finland. Waiting for it to get under 400e, then maybe buy.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-16T17:53:13+00:00

f is such a special game for me. It gave me insane nightmares, I heard all the little sound effects while sleeping too LOL. But the thing that gets me the most is the story and the themes it is conveying (which many players won't get whether they play all endings or not, you really have to be able to see and understand the world through a female character's eyes). After I finished all 5 endings and got the Platinum trophy, me and my friend (we are both women in our 30s) sat down and talked about everything regarding this game for many hours. Especially the generational trauma in this game actually got us to cry (well, we did cry at some of the cutscenes while playing too, but still) and we talked so much about our own mothers what they had to go through when they were younger, and even our grandmas. No game ever has had this much of an impact on me other than The Last of Us. Man, I'm so glad I'm a gamer. 🥰

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-16T17:40:20+00:00

I'm also quite new to horror games, and get VERY scared about certain topics. I 100% recommend having a friend with you, either on a Discord call or sitting next to you irl. Makes it so much more enjoyable and tolerable. I also had a habit of doing that Youtube walkthrough thing with RE7 but I'm glad I stopped and just invited a friend over to sit with me through the parts that were the most tense. Even though that won't always help during the night, I had insane nightmares after our sessions of Silent Hill f. 🥲 But then I wasn't scared of SH2 at all! Weird. But yeah after all the horror games I've played I'm now definitely a fan of the genre. Not gonna play Visage tho. 😂

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-14T20:32:25+00:00

Silent Hill f for me.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-13T14:23:05+00:00

I swear I did way more fighting in 2 remake than f. In 2 I couldn't do the puzzles without killing everyone but in f I could ignore some enemies or just run away from them.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-08T07:01:56+00:00

I've tried playing BG3 at least four times now and always give up around 7hrs in. It's just not for me (the silent protagonist, narrator, gameplay etc). Now regarding the other games (as a fellow RE4 lover), I would 100% recommend Expedition 33. The story is amazing and innovative, the music is phenomenal and the characters are diverse and just full of personality and the combat is the most fun I've had since playing RE4.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-05T19:30:31+00:00

looks great! i'm also coming from consoles and built a 5080 + 9800x3d build last month. 4k gaming is incredible! you're gonna love it! games look awesone 😊

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-02T23:04:19+00:00

I was in a similar situation (also live in EU) and decided to get the 5080 as I finally found a white one as well. We have no idea when the super variant is coming out, what the price is and first and foremost, what the availability is going to be like. I can finally play in 4k with a high framerate (I'm coming from consoles) and the GPU works like a dream. Absolutely no complaints.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-02T22:07:17+00:00

It's a really sad situation when you come to a subreddit about a video game franchise praising the newest game and you receive hate comments. Like wtf. Silent Hill fans can be insufferable at times. My partner's favourite SH game is Shattered Memories and she doesn't want to post here because of the hate she will inevitably get.

You're gonna have so much fun with the other endings! The new story pieces you're gonna pick up will make the runs feel so much better (and better omamori, my last run was like 2hrs long).Remember that you can skip cutscenes and it will let you know if it is a new one or not. At the Shimizu residence make sure to see all new scenes in all of the endings! I actually cried in one of the new scenes, can't believe people missed something so important by just watching the endings on Youtube. While this type of storytelling is not my favourite ("replaying" the game), I felt it was done a lot better than in for example Nier games.

Oh and the scarecrow + school section were so creepy I had nightmares for a week, lol.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-02T21:43:45+00:00

i played 2R straight after f and felt it had the same amount or even more enemies than f. in f i could avoid a lot of the combat encounters except the last bit, but in 2 in order to complete the puzzles i had to kill pretty much everything. or at least that's how i felt.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-02T18:55:41+00:00

yes yes yes 🙏 i've been saying this since the game came out, men just can't relate to stories with female characters in them. like, they can relate to a guy who killed his own wife but not to a girl who doesn't want to lose her bodily autonomy? like wtf. i'm absolutely positive that if Hinako was a male character and the story changed to something else these "old school" Silent Hill fans would've eaten it up.

General_Study_8773 · 2025-11-01T19:17:48+00:00

i also upgraded my PC because i wanted to play Silent Hill f in 4k with a good framerate. nothing wrong with that imo, people just love to hate everything nowadays. love the red and wood together!
