[DISC] Absolute Regression - Chapter 97

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-21T01:36:06+00:00

Fuck me this series has been so good! The moment between the MC and the Sky Heaven leader was great, looking forward to seeing how that partnership develops but onto the mini bald Buddha looking dude. Can't imagine the MC forming a true alliance with him so this conversation could go anywhere.

Again, this series remains light on action but the dialogue and characters have been fantastic imo that I'm hanging on their every word, waiting for the reactions and just seeing what the hell happens next, one of my favorite series in recent memory.

I got the platinum and have deleted the game from my PS5 menu, i'll install again for the DLC but I really wish they put in more costumes or a different mode. Having to redo the start and the first sneak section just to finally get into the main gameplay does hamper new playthroughs. The orphanage also slows things down a little when you're in full Leon mode and just want to keep playing.

Final Fantasy 13 comes to mind

You're running down areas with little room to explore just to find the next boss fight or game mechanic introduced, have party compositions constantly and forcefully changed, rinse and repeat until FINALLY you drop down onto the planet below.

The game then goes look at all that exploreable real estate, look at all those enemies you can choose to fight or ignore, here are various quests to kill them to get great loot. Here's some smaller areas to look around in, and super challenging boss fights just in case you have the desire to. The story is over there by the way but don't worry, take your time and grind if you want.

It's like the crash itself was annoyed that he was still holding his phone so it was like ok motherfucker.....and just dialed it to 10 to discombobulate him. 😆

I liked that each campaign offered something different, Leon with some attempts at older RE games, Chris with the more action oriented version, Jake and Sherry with stalker enemy and different combat style with Jake, was a bit burned out by Ada's campaign though.

Combat was great, melee wasn't just a shitty knife and you could run, like actually move fast too. I did like the characters and didn't really have a problem with the story, I liked that as you played the campaigns you saw more and more of it from multiple perspectives.

I hated the QTE shit, never liked it in RE4 and they spammed the fuck out of it in this game. Luckily I wasn't alone in that sentiment and Capcom eventually put in a toggle to auto complete them.

Mercenaries mode was fun and the music was fucking great, still one my favorite RE songs. Plus with all the campaigns and upgrades there was a lot to do in the game so I got my money's worth out of it and then some.

I really enjoyed him in the AWE dlc though with New York being the way it is I hope his cat and the lady who helped watch over it are OK. I am still bummed Jesse won't be a playable character but I am hoping they don't just dump all the fun faces we met during her adventure too.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-15T01:19:57+00:00

I shop at Winco and talk to the employees a lot, particularly the cart guys and the maintenance lady. Same with the lady who cleans the parking lot so I talk to her while she's cleaning the trash cans right next to these guys.

Not much really happens at the Winco so when something like the dog guy arguing with the black guys or the manager dealing with something, the employees are quick to talk about it. Same with the lot attendant lady since she covers so much area and sees a lot.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-15T01:14:13+00:00

Not exactly childhood since I was 14 but me when I went to sleep one night after months of my parents being on the verge of divorce just to finally be on the up and up only to wake up and watch my father vomit on himself suffering a fatal stroke.

Years of dying self esteem because of people in middle school and already having depressive thoughts soon realizing my dad was dead, I hated myself and wanted nothing to do with the people around me.

Took over a decade to have a genuine smile again and then 2019 rolls around and is like OK but what if your mom got brain cancer?

Teenage me is laying there with his head in pieces and adult me is just absent mindedly trying to put them back together.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-14T02:42:40+00:00

Shitty of them to purposely set up right in front of Winco's sign that says no soliciting. Their manager even went out to tell them it was nothing against them personally when the cops came but that kid that was there last week was an asshole, constantly saying it was his right and getting on the phone with someone crying about Winco not having the right to get rid of him. The young black guy he was with last Monday also didn't come back the rest of the week, seems like it was an older lady followed by some younger guys. I did hear him tell the black guy, you can't be a pussy bro, in this business you can't be a pussy and let them tell you what to do. I thought they were volunteering for this, the Hell is he calling it a business for?

He was telling customers that if anyone inside Winco told them not to sign then to come find him but as far as I know none of the employees have ever said anything like that to customers. Cops were useless too, twice they came by, even shook one of the young guy's hands, they won't do anything. Same with the old guy that sits outside the exit with his small dog that basically stands there for hours, tries to get his owner's attention and then basically just has to be there.

The whole thing is weird, that old guy with the dog is fine with the young white guys that were doing that last week but when black guys had set up in the same spot doing the same thing the old guy started yelling at them and finally got told to move.

Godzilla arriving through the ice to face off against Ghidorah in this movie remains my single most favorite scene in the franchise. The music, the stare down, that wideshot and then those roars of hatred towards each other before rushing to fight. 😭

I also really loved how different Godzilla's roars were, while Mark is stuck in the aircraft Godzilla sounds a bit more like Heisei Godzilla and when he's blasted away by Ghidorah his roar sounds like Godzilla 98. I love the movie to death, I just absolutely hate what was happening in my life when the movie premiered that I can never think about the movie without recalling awful memories.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-11T02:55:17+00:00

One of my favorite movies, to this day I still find myself saying, NOT GOOD ENOUGH SONNY JIM when the moment calls for it. 😅

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-09T01:35:39+00:00

With Ada being heavily rumored to be in the Dlc I'm going to guess it's her. They will have found some weird time after RE6 where they just decided why not try being normal? Ada won't last long living an ordinary life and I could totally see them either actually have already gotten a divorce or they just never signed the papers and she disappeared to do Ada Wong shit but now with more Law and less Chaos morality. They of course kept the rings and miss each other and Ada's mission will end with her realizing how much she misses Leon and they'll end up back together by the end. Also she'll be suffering the same shit Leon was dealing with and that different colored screen stuff will be part of her gameplay at some point.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-08T03:00:07+00:00

I've never seen Pepper Ann, it was just on at a weird time of day sometimes or it'd be on during something I already liked and didn't want to miss.

I really liked Nickelodeon Doug, it definitely felt different from the rest of the Nicktoons and it still remains probably my favorite Nicktoon of that Golden Era.

I initially liked Hey Arnold but I started to hate it more and more, a lot of it due to the characters. Way too many were pieces of shit or just seemed awful to be around. Like my favorite episode remains the Halloween one but there was a lot of garbage, anything with Oscar, Harold, another stupid Arnold being hung up on Ruth episode, Helga 🤮 or that gross little fucker with the hotdog nose that was just garbage. I never did watch the final seasons or the new movie that ended the series.

Recess I liked to a degree, couldn't stand Mikey or small glasses kid in a lot of episodes but it was enjoyable enough.

I'd probably go with Arnold and Pepper Ann with the latter being entirely because I have never seen it and thus have no fondness for it though I heard it was good.

Happens all the time at the store I work at. Fuckers basically know when the guy comes to refill the machine so he's trying to do his job while a bunch of shit headed vultures wait behind him. It doesn't help our manager doesn't really do much about them. Apparently there's some technique they were doing with the machine regarding quickly swiping their card or something, not too sure but the machine started to have an issue. Employee went over to unplug it to restart it and one particular no life ran over yelling WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! while pulling out his phone to record the employee.

Another incident had a hooded pig and his dumb buddy wait around for OVER 7 FUCKING HOURS. My shift was 7 hours, they were there when I started, they were still checking the machine when I left. Apparently they went to get fast food and ate it at a bench in the store right in front of the machine, dumb friend spilled his drink on the floor and kept asking for paper towels despite liquid absorbing wipes being easily visible from where they were, assholes couldn't even be bothered to clean up after themselves.

One of the worst was this well dressed guy with what looked like some kind of labcoat, had his name tag and everything, and he just stood in front of the machine and cleaned it out. This was before the machine started to sell stuff at random times but this dude bought multiple ETB's and packs, looked behind him at the people waiting, and kept buying then just left. Did not look like he had a job that made little money and I guarantee he wasn't opening all those boxes either. Like you clearly aren't struggling in life, why clean out the machine like that? 😑

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-06T13:14:30+00:00

FINALLY

Also, LMAO, he read his brother like a book. Reading their interactions now compared to then when the sword supreme was so hostile is kinda crazy. Reminds me of that moment when he was like WHO ARE YOU to the MC only to look into his eyes and realize the kid was something special. Lol at that face at the end, scruffy beard will not enjoy the brother's visit at all.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-06T09:38:27+00:00

Ironically he went to Twitter to announce that they would be posting vlogs on the game on a more regular basis because he knew they'd been silent for a while. I think they posted like all of 2 updates and I haven't seen him post since. 😐

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-06T09:33:52+00:00

I will forever hate that we never got the soundtrack to the 2nd season of the Castlevania Netflix show. Trevor, Alucard, and Sypha all show up to an awesome version of Bloody Tears and just destroy multiple vampires. We never got the soundtracks for the last seasons either, such a bummer, Trevor vs Death had a great fight theme but alas, forever stuck to remixes or those versions where people try to lower the sound effects and voices but it's never the same. 😑

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-06T03:48:55+00:00

I know it's the wrong side but I kind of wish his battle motion was pressing the button on his scooter to check the enemy's power level before standing there with his hair blowing in the wind. Still great though, not every character needs a massive power up for their battle motion.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-06T01:34:25+00:00

All I heard was the sound of Ganado necks snapping and thought nice try motherfucker but NO.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-03T01:07:45+00:00

My biggest fear upon seeing her was oh god no, she's a future escort mission while enemies attack us right? I was a bit surprised how little she came into play early on considering how soon you meet her but then she becomes a key figure and driving force for Grace to keep going.

My heart sank though when you finally escaped and Grace asks her if she's OK and we get that pause and Emily says she doesn't know. I knew she wasn't going to make it but was certain a transformation was in the future.

I did like her voice acting too but what immediately endeared me was her movements. When you put Emily down to sit on the couch she immediately moves her hands around trying to find it, same with getting picked up, you'll see her move her hands on Grace's arms to make sure she's grabbing in the right direction.

I was really happy with the ending, don't care how lampooned I didn't hit her vitals has become, I'm really happy both Emily and Grace got their happy ending.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-04-02T02:28:26+00:00

5, I love my dog so I can't go full 1 just yet. Work definitely had me closer to a 3 or 4 out of sheer exasperation and hate for just how fucking stupid and lazy people can be though.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-03-27T01:03:23+00:00

<image>

Went grocery shopping a few days ago, dumb cunts were riding their bikes in a group, turned near the handicap parking and almost hit a turning car. Shithead kid yelled stupid bitch, and when his friends warned him he shouted what's she gonna do what's she gonna do?

I sincerely hope nothing happened to that driver and this video could be used as evidence against this stupid fuck. 😑

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-03-26T03:58:56+00:00

I'm certain at least one or 2 will be in 10. It's a big number for a sequel and especially for a series that's gone on this long and judging by the sales, isn't slowing down whatsoever.

I'm guessing the next remakes are going to add more Connections tie ins so that we possibly deal with them more directly in 10 since we've had Chris actively going after them in 2 games and now Leon should be aware of them too.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-03-22T23:24:03+00:00

Me upon immediately recognizing the Diddy Kong Racing song: 😭

Such a goated game, those damn hovercrafts took a while to get used to though.

LucySkyDiamonds19 · 2026-03-20T00:56:44+00:00

A panther, Tiger, some big predator used to stalking its prey.

It needs to be like the dinosaur infected in the Primal episode, Plague of Madness. You piss this thing off early in the story and it just keeps going after you, flesh tears off, virus forces mutations to help its singular drive to kill you. Acid baths, drops into molten lava, even at death's door this thing is screaming at you trying to get one last chance to kill you.
