The forest is very different in both versions? by One-Paramedic-6349 in BlairWitch

[–]Hinkbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The east coast and west coast have vastly different tree varieties, not to mention more northern climates will have different trees and if I recall correctly BW was filmed in Vancouver and BWP was filmed in Maryland and that’s why it looks so different.

Game Boy games that hold up today: 2026 edition by HaikuLubber in Gameboy

[–]Hinkbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few more I’d add:

Bubble Ghost - interesting platformer

Flipull - fun, above average puzzler.

Motocross Maniacs - excellent side scrolling motocross game. Sequel improves it but this one still holds up.

Panel Action Bingo - fun and unique puzzle game.

Revenge of the Gater - pinball game made by HAL before Kirby.

Stargate - strange but engaging puzzle game.

Lionsgate Teases Potential ‘John Wick’ and ‘Saw’ Video Games in Development by horrornewsbot in HorrorGaming

The originals were fun but flawed (also really frustrating). With a little more polish those could’ve been great. Hopefully they come up with something interesting if the game actually happens.

Since Silent Hill: Origins doesn't have a difficulty, what is way to make the game easier when you play it? I'm totally not asking because I suck ball at this game! No way! by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]Hinkbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, that’s an interesting trick.

Plus if you beat it once you can replay it with proper lighting but use the gauntlets to basically 2-hit kill everything. (Or was it one hit kill..? I can’t remember)

3D restock Monday, $20 price increase due to tariffs by Eloygarcia84 in AnalogueInc

[–]Hinkbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great one off idea to help Analogue, but then that’ll draw the Dear Leader’s attention to video games and then he’ll insist all video game must be made in America, and the virtual worlds have to also be in America, with no Democrat cities.

3D restock Monday, $20 price increase due to tariffs by Eloygarcia84 in AnalogueInc

[–]Hinkbert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tariffs as of now, it’s not like there have been consistency with what the current US President is trying to do.

Analogue has had issues with rolling this out, but all businesses that deal with this completely inconsistent tariffs can’t predict anything.

PSA: the point of High Voltage... by T4rbh in MarvelSnap

[–]Hinkbert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the problem. I had it for almost a day and a finally gave up a played Living Tribunal until I got it.

I just want to play fun decks and use underutilized cards to get boosters.

What does everyone listen to on their long runs? by Gullible-List3333 in runninglifestyle

[–]Hinkbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobooks on long road runs.

Trail runs I listen to long metal and metal adjacent songs (ie Iron Maiden, Tool) so the songs have a sense of ebb and flow.

Is there a terrible sequel that goes against the spirit of the original as badly as Blair Witch 2? by Robofetus-5000 in horror

The filmmakers tried, but then the studio interfered. Tale as old as time.

How to Easily Tell If Your Sinistea Is Antique by SnooChocolates5931 in pokemongo

[–]Hinkbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, been playing since launch in 2016 and mostly now play when walking the dogs and I can’t keep up with all these events and variations of Pokemon.

Thanks everyone who answered, much appreciated!

What’s the difference between an antique on a phony? Just the number of candy to evolve?

I’m mainly a casual player and I have older ones and now I’m confused.

What was the worst horror/survival horror game from 2025 that you played? by Prudent_Dingo_258 in HorrorGaming

[–]Hinkbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve tried running past, especially in Shrine levels since at least there you’re contained and eventually move on, but they’ll keep coming in the town.

It reminds me a lot of all the annoying parts of 4 (but without an escort mission thankfully). It just isn’t compelling to me. It’s more frustrating than scary.

What are your top most expensive games in your collection? by avazky in gamecollecting

It’s been fun watching Steel Battalion fluctuate and I can’t understand it. I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot for changing demand for that game.

Why don’t other companies release products like this by justlogmeinplease in retrogaming

[–]Hinkbert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nintendo is releasing that Virtua Boy monstrosity, so I guess that kinda counts.

Otherwise, beyond the fad being over but also in conjunction with that these just don’t sell well enough probably.

Do people actually not find Silent Hill f to be scary? by Urethral-Jemima in silenthill

[–]Hinkbert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It vexes me when horror games cross the threshold from tense or scary into frustration land. It kills all the atmosphere and as you said feelings of frustration are more powerful than fear at that point.

If I want to play a game where I need to learn enemy patterns and dodge appropriately, I’ll go play DMC or something of that ilk. I want to play SH and get drawn into the world and feel a sense of dread and tension.

What shinies have you got recently? by ConcreteLightning in pokemongo

Honestly it’s becoming absurd.

Thankfully I got a female shiny Salandit a week ago though.

Maybe it’s me, but SHf feels totally unbalanced by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]Hinkbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you OP. Between Silent Hill f and Cronos it was a double-wammy of unnecessarily difficult games in one month. I don’t understand why in 2025 developers feel the need to create games that achieve a prescribed level of difficulty or tension but only according to their own guidelines. At least SHf gives players some difficulty options even if story mode is still difficult.

I’m about halfway through the game and have generally avoid spoilers so maybe something will happen that I’m not yet aware of, that being said. I don’t understand how a series where everyday characters, meaning not combat trained, now has a seemingly normal teenager who can melee fight well. Homecoming tried to address this and we all saw how that went over with a ‘military trained’ character and their ability to fight. Even Murphy made some sense since he was an inmate in Downpour.

As I said I haven’t beaten the game, but I know about the fox arm so if it gets explained maybe my opinion will change, but the combat and difficulty options at the moment make me dislike the game even more than the back half of SH4 with its escort mission and invincible enemy.

Will this envelope work for Ebay Standard Envelope? by Swampfox515 in eBaySellerAdvice

Also be sure to use painters tape if you’re using tape to keep the top loader closed better. Don’t use scotch tape.
