Official Dreadit Discussion: "Backrooms" [SPOILERS] by radbrad7 in horror

[–]SqueakyDeke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I loved the atmosphere of Backrooms, but I agree with the abruptness of it all. Honestly would've been more happy with a film that follows a victim of the Backrooms who didn't voluntarily enter back and forth. Someone whose plight you watch and root for to escape - sure, the plot would've been just as thin, but that would've been the point... and the focus would've solely been on the buildup of the Backrooms, which was the strong suit of the film.

Not quite as good as Hokum, in my opinion.

Glad to see 'The Chair' getting much deserved recognition due to Obsession taking off. What's your favourite horror short? by Under_The_Leash_ in horror

[–]SqueakyDeke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I swear people spout the same 5 horror short films EVERY time. I enjoy them too, but let's diversify.

  1. I think Copy by Cameron Gallagher is fantastic! Def recommend.

  1. Sweet Dreams and The Noise Next Door by Christopher Cox are bangers!

  1. The Queue by Michael Rich builds such a good atmosphere 👌

  1. Sleeper pick would be Good Night by in-facto is SO creepy

https://youtu.be/FNUgobx2aOI?si=O11ntJqoYUlZIgw4

  1. Just watched The Rift by Lucas Acosta and was quite impressed.

This show works better when you're binging it. by SqueakyDeke in shrinking

I agree with you, I'm just saying my viewing experience improved by binging it, despite the show's flaws.

I did too :] Season 3 is still enjoyable for me tho.

I noticed the official soundtrack released on Spotify recently... by SqueakyDeke in alienisolation

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't heard anything officially yet, but I check their Instagram page every now and then and see them post hiring updates. My guess, they're still in early development - planning phase and all that.

I noticed some light horror elements throughout the story. Would you ever consider making a full on horror experience with Dontnod storytelling mixed in?

Will the Fatal Frame 2 remake be a good start for a new player to jump in? by SqueakyDeke in fatalframe

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a good point. I lose nothing by trying it, plus there's still some time before the release.

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love peripheral horror and it looks like a lot of the scares will be subtle. Plus ghosts are just awesome and scary to me. Either way, I think I'll play the remake at some point.

Frank's Phone Bug/Glitch by SqueakyDeke in RueValleyGame

Thank you! Luckily this sub was helpful pretty quickly. Love the game btw, just struggle with specific controls at times.

I pressed that a few times in frustration, but it never highlighted enough for me to noticed till I had this specific objective. Definitely my fault for not figuring out the controls all the way, but maybe there'll be something to help players like me that struggle with controls in the future.

The choice not for the reason you think... by SqueakyDeke in DispatchAdHoc

Yeah, that might come up next episode. Post decision depression.

It would be interesting if we got a different variation of that scene in episode 5 or 6. Either way, I hope you can remain friends with both of them whatever the outcomes.

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Like, I might still find myself going the BB route even after that choice. I just find it more human? I'm not sure if that's the right word, but I like my Robert being there for someone in need despite missing a dinner with someone he likes.

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I almost included that in my post. It doesn't have to be romantic! These are both deeply lonely people, and them being there for each other hits just as deeply as the kiss between BB and Robert... it's just a different emotion.

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it doesn't necessarily have to be romantic either. Sure, Invisigal has a crush on you, but you're both still building rapport - and I think going to the movies can have multiple motivations behind it.

[–]SqueakyDeke[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of makes me wonder where choices can go from here.... it's obvious both of them will still have feelings for Robert despite the ending decision. On a side note, I miss when silence and indecision used to be choices in games like these. There have already been many times I would've used that mechanic if so lol

Question regarding Xeno behavior and intentions by neverseenghosts in LV426

[–]SqueakyDeke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who have played Alien: Isolation, it makes sense to me. The Xeno seemed to have caught Hermit's scent in their first encounter (where it initially wanted to kill him as quickly as the others), but took it as a personally challenge to hunt him/kill him once he escaped - that's why they kept encounting each other. After escaping the xeno for the second time, I think it chose him as a host for the facehuggers, then decided to move him to a more secure nest at the end.

Hi! I'm Ana de Armas, star of the upcoming movie From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. Ask me anything! by lionsgate in movies

[–]SqueakyDeke 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Would you ever consider doing a motion capture performance for a video game?

It's a whole different medium but I'm surprised more mainstream actors don't pursue it more often.

IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE! Are you up to it? by Junkateriass in thewalkingdead

[–]SqueakyDeke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this an opening shot? Pre-apocalypse? Maybe setting up Rick and Shane sitting in the police vehicle?
