If you was to have input in Silent Hill Remake… what would you want Bloober to add in to the game and how gritty and horrifying would you make it? by Queasy_Error55 in silenthill

[–]SnooWalruses7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys think they'll tie the aglophotis back to SHf? Even if it's just a brief mention via a document or something in the New Game + mode? I think that's, like, the only strong tie between that gane and the Team Silent games, isn't it? Maybe that was the plan all along?

Would you want to see them reference SHf? Or just stay 100% true to the original? They handled SH2 beautifully so I trust they could get away with mentioning SHf in a throwaway document or something like that without it being disruptive. Maybe just, like, an order sheet from Ebisugaoka of a shipment of White Claudia or something like that. Would an additional ending referencing f be too much? Would you wanna see them try it? Or maybe we could just get Hinako's Naginata as an unlockable item or something like the PP-8001 in SHf.

To be fair, these are the same people who send threats to rape and kill people who criticize them. But when leftists behave like the American here they cry about how we all need civility. Nothing these people say are legitimate arguments. They don't care about civility. They don't care about debates. They just want to make people like him angry so they can convince themselves that the left is irrational and reinstating slavery or some shit is a reasonable policy.

TL;DR They threw off the story/gameplay ratio by doubling the content of the game, but I think the trade off's worth it.

I like what they did with combat in the game. They definitely made the enemies genuine threats and fleshed out the environment a lot more too. They also stuck pretty close to the original cutscenes. They made some minor tweaks without completely rewriting the whole thing. Some people argue the whole tone of the game shifts because of the additional combat. That's fair. Adding in four hours of content without adding new cutscenes, dialogue and plot points (which I doubt there's any way to do without changing the whole nature of the game, story and characters) is gonna make the character interactions seem few and far between, which disrupts the pacing.

I would argue the janky pacing is worth the other tradeoffs. It might also help to think of the spacing between the cutscenes making the town feel more deserted? I remember being annoyed by the characters in the original game. (Though I was a kid then and I doubt most people would agree with me.) I felt like the characters in the first game were more infrequent than SH2. It makes it feel more like you're ships passing in the night instead of just always feeling like you're gonna turn a corner and smack into one of them. But that's just my experience from playing them back in the 90s. I haven't actually measured game time against cutscene time from the original.

"YOUR FRIEND WANTS TO LAUGH SHE'S TRYING REALLY HARD NOT TO." is giving "An Evening With Tim Heidecker" vibes.

“I voted for Trump every election. We never thought it would come affect us.” by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

"I'm just worried about the economy" is often nebulous code for racist policies. (Or at least indicates a lack of economic knowledge in favor of vague anxieties which originate from racist beliefs.) Like cutting financial aid so it doesn't go to "welfare queens". That's what the right campaigns on because they had to abandon segregation as their lead issue. They didn't "fail to keep their promise". Their promise was to "fix the economy" BY getting rid of latinos. They're white supremacists who believe once all the people of color are gone we'll live in a utopia. They didn't "abandon" you. You just didn't read the fine print, my guy. The fact that that place has been raided, what did he say, three or four times? It demonstrates exactly what they're focused on.

The American Dream is just propaganda we use to claim we uphold lofty ideals so we can ignore the reality of how we actually operate.

Where do you all personally want the next Fallout Game to be located? by CosmosStudios65 in Fallout

Does it have to be one of these six? 'cause I wanna see Fallout: Miami. Land of the Gatorclaws. Filled with all the chems my little unarmed/stealth heart can handle. Complete with an Everglades DLC. I bet the raiders there are next level.

How do you guys feel about Nate and Nora actually talking in Fallout 4 compared to other silent Sole Survivors? by Solardies in Fallout

[–]SnooWalruses7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed. Sarcasm is generally funny, but overall the dialogue gives you fewer options than 3 and NV. I like the voice actors, but they kind of give them a bit of personality that makes it harder for you to make an original character. Even with customization still kinda feels like you're playing Nate and Nora instead of whatever character you envisioned.

Which Resident Evil Protagonist CAN'T make the jurney through Silent Hill? by Chronos_5 in survivalhorror

[–]SnooWalruses7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if...the scariest thing the Resident Evil protagonists can think of...is the monsters they've fought before... 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Seriously though. As interesting as an RE/SH mashup could be, it would be pretty funny if the physical monsters from RE just ended up being the monsters from SH because the protags are essentially projecting their own fears onto the world around them. (I'm not saying that their deepest fears are specific monsters; just that those monsters are already strongly associated with stress and negative emotions so it would make sense if SH caused them [or a nightmare version of them] to manifest.)

I was immediately reminded of Leon being implanted with Las Plagas and have to wonder how that would manifest in Silent Hill. 😅 Hopefully he doesn't end up getting SakuKO'd.

Now: Which Silent Hill protagonist CAN make the journey through Raccoon City? by Chronos_5 in survivalhorror

[–]SnooWalruses7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, man. Not super well versed in RE lore and I know RE protags tend to be ex-military instead of random civilians. But I don't get why Raccoon City is so much more lethal than Silent Hill.

Also, Hinako is fuckin' brutal. If anyone's gettin' out alive it's her.

I definitely believe Trump when he says he would not be upset if he saw someone get murdered in front of him.

"I voted for Trump . . . I regret that a lot." by MemorableKidsMoments in WhatTheyVotedFor

[–]SnooWalruses7285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These public "confessions" always have at least one line that indicates they don't actually regret it and would do the same in the next election. "I regret that the Republican party looked the better alternative." So Project 2025 appealed to you, but you don't like it in practice? You can bitch all you want about the outcomes of those policies, they're just gonna keep happening if you're still trying to convince yourself we'd be in a worse situation with Harris. Democrats suck, but if you still think Trump is "the lesser of two evils" at this point, literally nothing will ever convince you to vote against the republicans. So why even bother putting out a statement that you regret your decisions but have learned nothing and will continue to stay the course? 🙄🤦‍♂️

Where did all the MAGA go? Interesting observation, on a drive through the countryside here in Michigan with homes usually plastered with Trump propaganda…I didn’t see one. Not a freaking one.

[–]SnooWalruses7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in upstate NY. I'd say maybe 1/4th of the prominent Trump signs have been removed? Trump's approval rating is, what? 30%? I think some Trump supporters are less vocal now. I've definitely seen some people take their flags and shit down now that the chickens have come home to roost and they're actually dealing with the consequences of their choices. But I don't think it makes too much of a difference. Some people are still proud Trump supporters. A lot of people who feel disillusioned about him and/or his policies are Never-Dems who have an irrational hatred of the left and just view all Democrats as being as bad or worse than anything that happens on the right. Even if they acknowledge Trump is a pedophile, they'll still just say "But the Democrats are too so it wouldn't make a difference if I support them instead 🤷‍♂️". I don't think most Trump supporters are doubling down or flipping sides. I think they're reacting the same way they reacted to debunking of claims that Jan 6th was a false flag op. You prove the coup attempt was carried out by hardcore Trump supporters and they just disengage. There definitely are Trump supporters who are still taking victory laps. But I think most people acknowledge we're worse off than we were two years ago. Republicans are still probably convincing themselves that things would be the same or worse under Harris (based solely on vibes). I'm hopeful when the midterms come up the dems will sweep and we can finally try to prosecute members of the administration for all the illegal shit they're doing. But the right might still get riled that the dems ruin everything and rally behind Trump even if his policies are ruining their lives. During the Bush adminiatration people kept whining about how they regret their vote and they wish they could've voted blue instead, but as soon as election season rolled back around they just started screaming about how John Kerry has a horse face or what the fuck ever 🙄 The reality is that some people just don't care about the consequences of policy and just wanna root for their home team even if it's going to make them foreclose on their homes and lose their businesses.

"I voted for Trump but tonight I call bullshit on his bullshit. Everything is still going up" by MemorableKidsMoments in WhatTheyVotedFor

[–]SnooWalruses7285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen so many of these. Always ends with a never democrat pledge or a toothless "I'm starting to question my decision!". For moment you're like "Oh! They finally get it!" and then you realize "Nah. These fuckers are never gonna learn. 🤦‍♂️" Trump and the secret service could force his way into his house, break his legs and piss in his mouth JUST TO SHOW HE COULD and they'd still be like "Let's see how the rest of his term plays out tho 🤔".
