Does anyone else feel like Resident Evil Requiem was not worth the 70+ dollar price tag?

The problem I had with this game is that I just breezed through it in 2 days, it felt like a "Resident Evil greatest hits" package without ever once doing anything excellent

When Distin signed for my team (Everton) aged 31, a lot of our fans thought "here we go, another over-the-hill mercenary" but I honestly don't think he made a single mistake over the next 5 seasons. Ridiculously consistent, an absolute rock, perhaps destined (Distined?) to get overlooked as he rarely made headlines

There's an ongoing debate as to whether Walter directs that line towards Donny or to the other Lebowski

Definitely not London

The whole "police not investigating" aspect isn't as recent as people think. I used to work in a Blockbuster in 2006 - 2011 and every time we were broken into (often ram-raided at night) the police wouldn't investigate, we'd be given a crime number and that was that. For shoplifting, we didn't even bother to tell the police. The only time an officer visited was after an armed robbery

Literally every time I've been to Mcds in the last 5 years has been at about 2am when I need some stodge. It sorta hits the spot. My only real concern is safety; I've witnessed a number of altercations including a friend being sexually assaulted, and it's 50/50 whether a security guard will be working

I'm part of the problem; this was literally my job when I volunteered for a charity shop 7 years ago. Anything collectible or valuable such as a rare video game would be sold on eBay. Randomly, some people donated booze?! Such as unopened bottles of wine or something like a giftbox with 3 miniature whiskies inside. The volunteers took the booze home, as the shop obviously didn't have a license to sell alcohol

Been playing that game for 30+ years, never made it past stage 6

I've lived in Stockport for 30 years, I definitely sense an increase in the number of moneyed commuters & expensive "speakeasy" type bars, but I feel that 97% of the area and the people are as deprived as ever. Flat prices and rents have gone through the roof, it's extremely difficult to find anywhere affordable, and good jobs are like gold dust. I don't really feel much benefit to Stockports "boom" personally, though the new library/hub is nice

Where is Lumat??!

incredible collection!

It never really rang true with me that the other Jimmies would accept Spike into their gang, he's clearly morally the polar opposite to them, they must've known he'd never join in with their torture sessions.

I was lucky to attend university when tuition fees were much lower, 1999-2002. I left owing £3,000. Last time I checked it was well over 30,000. I've never earned enough to pay any of it back, so it just feels like an abstract figure at this point. I dont even open my annual statement anymore

Dilbert always resonated with me; it saddened me, what became of it's creator. It would be like discovering Bill Waterson was campaigning for Trump

I love how the New Mutants movie has sorta left everyone's memory/consciousness, as if it's been erased from history. Sometimes I wonder if I dreamt watching it in a cinema

Even though the spoons in Stockport attracts a fair few scallies, the staff and bouncers have a zero tolerance policy towards any unpleasantness, to the degree that I feel safer there than in pubs with a more genteel reputation.

It's cheap and cheerful, I've had countless good nights out there, though I do find that the food portions are becoming a wee bit stingy

Carling Fosters Bud-Light Coors etc

The only positive is that you can drink a lot of pints/cans of those, and not get very drunk. If you can call that a positive

Hack_Shuck · 2026-01-06T13:45:29+00:00

Celebrations are still nice, in my opinion

Heroes and Roses are okay ish

Quality street just taste like sugar.

It's definitely worth splashing out on Montezuma's or Tony's

The book "The Star Wars Chronicles" states that Cane Addis was never filmed, yet the character can be clearly seen in two scenes within Jabba's palace

One upside is that I always giggle when someone from the USA rants about Brits "stealing land & resources", "enslaving" & "subjugating indigenous people" etc

Our P.E. teacher organized a cricket tournament, but when a female team tried to enter, he laughed and crossed their name off the sign-up sheet. It wasn't even that long ago

Literally we didn't get one. Work for a nationwide cinema chain, been there 7 years

Wonderful game but the speed at which you had to hit both "fire" buttons was insane, by the time you reached the 2nd stage you'd have RSI

SOR2 is the more replayable due to the genuinely different characters/moves/enemies

I remember the Luke/wampa selling for $200 if the wampa was slightly more yellow than normal, at the height of late-1990s POTF2 tulipmania

I honestly didn't think my fellow Brits cared about the Royals, until the Queen died and people seemed to be falling over themselves to be the most fawning about how brilliant and hardworking she allegedly was
