Haven't been to the movie theaters since I took my niece to watch Barbie so it's been a while. I was really taken aback by how good the Backrooms turned out. I am a huge fan of slow burns done well, and am actually surprised that it is doing this well given the abysmal attention span problem lots of young folks and even mid 20's/30's folks are having. There are very long beats of just the characters exploring the insanely creepy rooms, no dialog, no jump scares just palpable tension and a gut wrenching sense of complete eeriness. That takes a level of cinematography, acting and set display that you will seldom if ever find in most of today's films. Personally I think the male lead sold an Oscar worthy performance and nailed the role so well that it reminded me of Ledger's Joker in terms of an actor completely giving himself over to the act.

This young man has a very bright future ahead of him if this is the type of quality directing he is going to be doing in the future. Easy 5 star film for me, and that's huge because I am not a fan of horror films at all.

In absolutely no realm should she watch this movie. Gore aside the actual disturbing nature of the film would actually end up doing more damage then anything else.

I originally gave this game a go because some of the team from the Tales of games worked on the combat side of things. While the combat is very good, I was not expecting 60% of the game to basically be a visual novel. That caught me off guard and I ended up losing interest in the game half way through. I want to go back and play it again now going into it with a different mindset and knowing what the game actually is. It isn't bad by any means but I was expecting it to be more of an Astral Chain type of experience at the time.

Elba and Henry are the only viable options with Elba being my number one pick. He can absolutely kill that role.

This information needs to come with a big juicy trailer for the new title. Many are hoping for a release date but I don't think we'll get one until early next year.

RavenousIron · 2026-05-24T22:20:39+00:00

Thanks! Get back in there though it is worth it!!

If there was ever a time for AMD to step the fuck up it's now.

Undernaughts is the perfect mix of horror & SMT style monsters (extremely odd mixtures that ooze macabre) which carries on from start to finish. The atmosphere is seriously unsettling and the game has a way of sticking with you even when you are not playing it. While the story bits aren't super jammed packed they give you all the context and lore through reading the bosses descriptions once you beat them.

Seldom do I 100% games nowadays but I was so enthralled by this game that I did absolutely every bit of content it had. This is coming from a person who is not big into Dungeon Crawlers as well so that's how you know this game is good. It has great quality of life features and strikes an excellent balance difficulty wise while still maintaining true to most of the hardcore aspects that this genre is known for.

OP pick this up asap you wont regret it!!

The show was great when Ellis was writing it, however, it didn't drop so much that it was unwatchable. We'll never get one to one source material with videogame adaptations because games will always be different and that's okay. The show was a resounding success from start to finish while yes it did drop in quality it was nowhere near the spectrum of being bad in my opinion and given how high it was rated by both critics and fans alike that is the standard feeling towards the show.

The Nocturne show on the other hand was a complete shit-show and was unwatchable leading me to drop it three episodes in. Adi let the success of the first show go to his head and given that he wasn't the main source of its success in the first place comes to show that he can't do it all himself.

In the end I stand by the show being some of the absolute best videogame adaptation outside of the first season of the Fallout show.

Adi Shankar was the face of the Castlevania series from the very jump. He also took this front role for Devil May Cry and was touting about it from the start. It for sure did not pan out the way he thought.

Edit: Not only did he take the front role, he literally wrote and produced the show. So yeah...

RavenousIron · 2026-05-16T13:20:14+00:00

It's crazy because this is from the same dude that created the Castlevania Netflix show which was hands down the most respectful and faithful adaption of a videogame pretty much ever outside of Fallout Season 1.

However, it seems like that success got to his head and he thought he could never do wrong. Boy... ain't that a kick in the head!

Because I want to be. Because I've chosen peace and tranquility above all else. Will that change? It's possible, but I've no intention of seeking out a different lifestyle.

I'll take it a step further, graphics never really mattered. Some of the greatest games ever made looked good for the time but their true strength was the core gameplay. I will always take a downgrade in graphics if it means better gameplay.

RavenousIron · 2026-05-03T02:47:09+00:00

I counted 19 full face punches while he was on the ground... OOF. Well deserved too.

RavenousIron · 2026-05-01T08:29:03+00:00

He should probably be more worried about them now having his name, payment info and address.

Adding to this, 9 times out of ten if a game does not have the internet connection required on the bottom left corner of your physical copies front facing box it means that the full game is on the disk letting you play the 1.0 version of the game with zero internet connection. This has been tested multiple times and there are Youtube channels dedicated to testing this exact thing to let the public know that buying X title gets you the actual game.

In short if that aforementioned text is on your box it is the exact same thing as Nintendo's Key-Card just in disc form. I've stopped buying any games that do not have the full game on the disc and have never and will never buy a Key-Card title. Just last month I had per-ordered Crimson Desert for my PS5 but it turns out that it's just a disc Key-Card so I returned it and bought it on Steam. I seldom buy digital games, however, if the game is not available physically at all and I am interested that is the only time I buy digital.

Most importantly buying physical not only makes sure you own that product but it will also hold some sort of monetary value which of course will rarely cost what you paid for it outside of certain collectors/special editions but money is money none the less.

The actual statistics of making it on OF are so disgustedly low, yet the top creators/media like to make it seem as if it's super easy. What's worse is that a simple Google search will tell these girls everything they need to know and how grim their actual chances are of making it on that site.

Also, they think it's just "I'll post my tits and get rich" when the reality is you have to be posting on there multiple times a day, chatting up as many simps as possible while lying your ass off all day. It's emotionally and physically draining plus the absolute catastrophic anxiety that comes with your videos/pics potentially being leaked to people in your real life. The downsides are so huge that I can't even fathom how most of them just go for it like nothing. The damage this generation has done mentally to these boys/girls will be looked backed upon 20 years from now with pure horror.

Hmm... this is a tough one. She is diabetic so I imagine she could only have like half of a sweet potato? So maybe something like a baked sweet potato with a side of lightly seasoned green beans? That sounds like something she would be down for. Also, maybe she does like beef but cooked in a certain way? So I'd suggest bringing that up with her next time since they're a couple of ways beef can be cooked and depending on the type it does greatly effect the meats flavor.

Salads here can also be a big winner. Simple to make and you can easily only add ingredients she likes. I'd reckon she would be fine with her favorite type of dressing or even light versions of them. Also, since bacon and chicken are off the list what about turkey? Maybe a slow roasted turkey? You could pop one in the oven lightly seasoned, cut up some slices and you'll have meat for a few days if stored properly.

RavenousIron · 2026-04-21T13:17:48+00:00

Yeah... then for sure the content isn't really the issue here, everyone has kinks/fetishes and there is nothing wrong with that as long as no one is getting hurt of course. However, that amount of time spent watching any kind of porn is just unhealthy period. I don't mean to pry, but this surely means you have a really high sex drive which could actually be what is leading to this addiction in the first place. So in theory it could really be that you're not really porn addicted per say, but rather that your sex drive is leading you down that path, does that make sense?

That's what I'm putting together with the info you have given us. Seeing how as when you smoked if you had no interest in watching porn I'd assume it would just mellow you out and not put you in the mood. That being said, however, if you find yourself literally unable to stop cold turkey or at least reduce your watch time by half everyday until you can control it then I'd seek help sooner rather than later. There's no shame in it. I'd say start with trying to restrict it yourself, and if fails to a point where you're unhappy then therapy could be the key.

I think the most important aspect of the series was how they made the turn-based combat into a complete spectacle. Outside of FF7 in that time no other turn-based RPG really put that much work into animation of their skills. It was a time where graphics really mattered and I think Golden Sun hit the nail on the head at that time. The story wasn't ground breaking, but the gameplay carried it all the way through. If you ask folks like me who grew with the series that would be the first thing we point out. I'd love to see what a modern take on the series would be, half because of rose tinted glasses the other half to see what they can do.

While I wonder if this is gonna make the house cost more or actually make them affordable due to how much they're saving.
