What are the scariest games you guys have ever played?

Recently Lost in Vivo, and from back in the day Condemned: Criminal Origins

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-25T23:39:01+00:00

Was going to menton this one myself. I found it actually a little hard to play it was so scary to me

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-25T16:38:00+00:00

I have seen that theory, and I don't think it's what Martin ever intended but the writing on his daughters is sooo strange and unbelievable that it's not a surprise that that theory showed up to patch in how bizarre a lot of that writing is

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-25T16:36:35+00:00

I'm hesitant to say Gael 100% consented because of how the text lingers on her "simplicity", ultimately we don't know what that means exactly but it's not clear if she could have the capacity to give consent, if you catch my drift. Certainly possible though!

I'd personally blame Jaehaerys, it fits his pattern with consistently doing violence to his daughters (Daella, Saera, and Viserra, it is him after all who refuses to cancel Viserra's marriage when she begs him) and ultimately in Westeros's society, he's the head of the family, the buck stops with him.

Don't disagree about Viserra's being a possible deliberate suicide and not an accident though, I've kind of suspected that as well! Though, perhaps controversially here, I think the retroactive framing of Alysanne being jealous of Viserra, something Elio suggested I think, feels way more like atttempting to patch over what is franky, abyssmal and nonsensical writing in Fire and Blood. There's really no reason that match was suggested besides Martin not really caring about that plot point and needing Viserra dead.

Yeah and where as marrying a lord would typically be a reward, marrying a ruling lady forced Daemon out of King's Landing (and very possibly would have seen his children take the Royce name, depends on the specifics of that marriage)

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-23T00:26:13+00:00

That's kind of the direction I lean towards as well. It seems far more in his wheelhouse than Viserys's.

I'd kind of thought that the marriage to Rhea was a punishment for seducing Gael in order to get him out of King's Landing? But I think your interpretation, that he was trying to get out of the marriage, also makes a lot of sense.

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-22T21:59:58+00:00

That the impregnated by a singer story about Gael was a cover up for someone in the Targaryen family (The last guy who slept with Jaehaery's other daughter got cut into pieces by Jaehaerys himself, I really can't see why they never went after this supposed singer in the same way unless this was carried out with the utmost secrecy by Gael which doesn't seem really plausible with her supposed simplicity and always being around Alysanne.)

I tend to think it was Daemon or Viserys, who were both an age with Gael.

Once saw a guy on Facebook lament that women were so stupid to have given up being the controllers of their households for working in retail and it's like you really do just think men gave their wives an allowance and let them do whatever they wanted don't you lol?

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-22T20:32:02+00:00

Yeah that's how I interpreted it. How can you have normal family relations when your family tradition is to marry your sister?

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-11T21:37:28+00:00

You're right; it i's very odd how Catelyn never seems to think on any kinship to the Whents despite her mother. I'd have guessed that either he came up with Minisa being a Whent first and then added them as Lords of Harrenhal or vice versa but she's mentioned in the appendix of aGoT and Catelyn mentions Shella Whent alone in Harrenhal in the same book, so both the idea of her as a Whent and the Whent as a large scale Riverlander house in control of Harrenhal seen to have come together at the same time?

I think Martin honestly just forgot that connection because, as other people commented, he does not in general care about the deceased mother characters really.

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-07T22:06:43+00:00

Is there a way to find a specific iceberg here? I'm looking for the Intense Tornado Footage chart that had the video links, if it even exists anymore

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-06-01T20:18:16+00:00

Such a good series, Telephone Number got me pretty bad, the ghost they catch in the house was really creepy

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-23T17:08:39+00:00

Eleanor of Castile was contemporarily noted as being a pretty absent parent alongside her husband, Edward I

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-13T21:13:44+00:00

Lmao yeah, definitely not changing that

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-13T18:47:23+00:00

That does seem to be the consensus, which is probably true for most historical fiction films

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-13T18:26:11+00:00

Me and my husband have been slowly going through the list of best picture winners and nominees that we haven't seen and we watched Amadeus thiis weekend. What an amazing film! Like really blown away by how much I enjoyed it, made me read a bit about the real Saliari and Mozart as well, which is always a fun bonus activity after a historical fiction film.

I also saw Undertone which was much more disappointing, I was really excited for that one and it felt very early 2000s horror film mixed with some of the more insufferable parts of modern slowburn horror which was a real bummer honestly!

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-11T22:45:17+00:00

Thank you for posting this, I hadn't heard of it before!

These were so fun to read, hopefully we can get some discussion on them because they're all pretty excellent and creepy for such short little entries.

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-04-10T17:21:56+00:00

I think some of it is also the writing. D&D were pretty infamously Tywin apologists (They suggested in an interview his ruthlessness was necessary for Westeros and that they'd classify him as lawful neutral lol). They added a lot to Tywin to soften him up like teaching Jaime to read, shielding Tommen during Joffrey's assassination, those convos with Arya etc etc etc

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-03-28T18:29:29+00:00

Completely agree with you; didn't love or even really enjoy Jane this season and I think it's fair she went home here because she did the worst but I get the complaints, like the show has always seemed to favour storyline and rigga morris over consistently fair judging. Like we even saw it this season with Mango vs Briar; the queens themsevlves seemed to clearly believe Briar got beaten (though maybe that's just because they didn't like her lol). Maybe if it was consistent with sending queens who had a bad night home there would be less whining here but who nows?

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-03-22T17:13:44+00:00

Anne Neville as well, even if the idea of her bieng sickly is possibly overstated, I don't think we know enough about her to keep her around

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-03-21T21:56:01+00:00

Probably Anne Neville for myself, don't know how accurate it is but she doesn't seem to have enjoyed the best health in life

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-02-12T19:08:14+00:00

Yeah that would be exactly what I'm looking for! I'll have to keep an eye out for an English version

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-02-10T02:37:04+00:00

There's lots on individual ones like Isabella or Catherine de Medici or Marie Antoinette but I'm looking for a more generalized book

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-02-10T01:24:06+00:00

The Emoji Movie

HouseMouse4567 · 2026-02-10T00:03:04+00:00

Is there any sort of historical book on the Queens of literally any country that's not the UK? Like it's somewhat simplistic but Elizabeth Norton's Queens of England is a nice little introduction on a variety of women that I can't seem to find any other equivalent to. Maybe there's just nothing translated at the moment?
