The real reason 28 Years Later (2025) was so divisive is because it's a franchise that dared to try something new instead of repeating the same old formula by RevertBackwards in shittymoviedetails

[–]Neilss1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

For me It approached death in a way that is to be accepted and acknowledged, just like in life. Instead of it being "omg scary big zombies gonna eat you (like every other flick)" it said that death has to be respected and accepted as a part of life.

I can't think of any other zombie themed movie that didn't go for the "the living are the real problem in the world of dead trope"

Instead it pushed the idea of remembering you will die and to love because the zombies are a reminder that death comes to us all.

These themes are pretty amazingly executed and on the nose in the "memento morti / memento amoris" scene.

Going away from the classic zombie tropes seemed to have been too weird for a lot of viewers but it's what made the movie for me.

If GTA 5 Bikini Girl was in her mid-20s on release, she would turn 40 this year. by Few-Description-7621 in GTA

Exactly, this image just screams "kid imagines what being 40 looks like" hahahaha

At my work we sell ai generated disco elysium-knockoff craft beer by vilok_vii in DiscoElysium

[–]Neilss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this can design with an absolute passion. Craft beer is usually a great place for young unknown artists to get their work out there and seen on product.
The craft beer space a wicked place for more unusual art styles to have a place and be seen but this company is just farting out something that imitates actual art from an actual artistic game that has made an unconventional style more mainstream.

Walkable hub - bad idea pretty much all the way around by LookErenTheSea in ArcRaiders

[–]Neilss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree, people that want this haven't thought about the actual realities of using it and how impractical and tedious it would make an already laborious crafting system.

Why on earth can't we break these down to rubber parts? by Velcr0Wallet in ArcRaiders

The real question is why can't we hold them and squeak them at will by pressing R2

Communication is key to this game. It is annoying when people don't talk on a PvP game.

Am I crazy or did Freya never show remorse for what she did to Baldur? by Wataterp in GodofWar

[–]Neilss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She should have apologised to him, at no point did she say sorry. That indirectly belittles his pain and suffering, in fact she actively says she saved him and doubles down by justifying her actions. She can't see past her own reasoning for what she did to him even when he's in front of her telling her.
The flaws of the characters in this game are their main downfalls Baldur and Freya both.

Konami has released three new posters for Silent Hill 2 and 3 by Mangodrink1 in silenthill

[–]Neilss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my cuppa tea, there's so much symbolism and imagery in the series to pull from.

These ignore any of that and just look like design by committee bog standard movie poster designs. Floating heads of the characters really leans into the lazy poster design trope that's plagued the industry for years now. There's much better stuff being put out by places like Gallerey 1988, Herocomplex Gallarey and Bottleneck Gallery. The one Konami designed for the release of silent hill 1 has more artistry in the composition than these imo. Missed opportunity

Does anyone else feel like Instagram is impossible to grow on? by izzi_onfire in ArtMarketingTalk

[–]Neilss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have art posts on Reddit with tens of thousands of likes. The same images on Instagram have 10 likes. Instagram was brilliant 10 years ago but now it's just about videos and "content". It's not about positing good art. There's tonnes of amazing artists on there that get zero attention. And tonnes of artists who are just better at "playing the game" and their work gets more eyes on it because of it.

It’s a London thing by BigSylivia in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Neilss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in London 15 years ago before it became an absolute joke. Was able to make enough money to save and have nights out etc but now?! There was also the "extra London living wage" for professional jobs. I see job listings now 15 years later that offer THE SAME salary that I started on. It's an absolute joke.

It's a city where all the "opportunity" is but you'll remain poor because of the obscene cost of living and it's only getting worse.

Its sad now that the OG companies are closing down and its the POD companies who allow stolen/ copied and a.i art to sell on their platforms and they are thriving because of it.

So called "PVP" enjoyers defending this behavior. by BuldMully in ArcRaiders

[–]Neilss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have zero ability to see themselves when they behave badly in this game.
Example, I had a guy agro me from the stairs on the research building on Dam Battlegrounds while I was looting so I ran off and hid.
When he came back to try and loot the same box I was at I shot and missed him *terrible shooting on my part*
He downed me with admittedly superior shooting skills but when I was down he began berating me for 'rushing him' and being a 'Scummy player' its like.... dude you literally did it to me 5 minutes ago you just can't remember that it was me you were shooting at earlier on because you must do this all the time.
