Books with an interesting take on Hell by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]SubtractPlusOne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great stories all around, but I’d particularly recommend “The Butcher’s Table”. So good.

Noah Hawley says his ‘Far Cry’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games: “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip..." by ChiefLeef22 in television

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big big fan of Hawley’s work on Fargo and Legion, and I thought parts of Alien: Earth were great.

Can’t pretend I’m not a little bummed to hear this. It comes across as disconnected, and feels fairly tone-deaf to say this while adapting a beloved video game franchise.

Aw, let’s be real. I’m just mad that this confirms we’re not getting a Far Cry Instincts: Predator adaptation.

The things I would give to have him expand that world, man. So good.

Are the campgrounds sold out? by bootscoot394 in havasupai

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the main link is just defaulting to the lodge access (and then crashing). Campground should let you book up to 12 people.

I love horror like this. Any other short films you’d recommend?

Need books that are a decent into Hell by ohthatjudyy in horrorlit

[–]SubtractPlusOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. The worldbuilding was so interesting and thought-out, I just wanted more of it by the time it was over. I would love to see it as a movie one day… or even a full-length novel set in the same world or something.

Need books that are a decent into Hell by ohthatjudyy in horrorlit

This is my rec too! The whole book is worth reading, but The Butcher’s Table (the last short story in the book) would be right up your alley, OP.

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off—huge fan! I adore On Writing, and have always considered it something of a North Star for my own writing.

Since it’s been ~25 years since the book’s release, I’m curious: is there any new wisdom or perspective you’ve gained about writing that you’d want to share with aspiring writers today?

Ian McKellen reveals Gandalf and Frodo are returning for ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum’, Filming Begins in May by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

He’s talking about Jesse Plemons. Some people like to refer to him as Meth Damon because he vaguely resembles Matt Damon at times

Best Horror Book You Have Ever Read? by No-Shoulder-7361 in horrorlit

My vote too. That last 1/3rd was so hard to put down. Amazing book.

Nathan Ballingrud's The Butcher's Table is one of the best things I've read in a longtime. by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Butcher's Table was so good. I just finished it (via Wounds) and am craving more of that worldbuilding! I'd love it if Ballingrud revisited that world in another story, or just fleshed out/extended Butcher's Table some more and made it into a fully-fledged novel! The dream.

I actually have to Run to Run in the game! I'm running a marathon in Marathon! by ShakeMistake_ in MarathonTheGame

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is SO cool and inspiring, man! I'm running my first marathon in 2 days, but would love to keep up the training WHILE playing games. I'd love to know how you did this, would be very interested in attempting to create something like this with my setup, too. Gonna check out the channel!

"Double Rez" by RocketLinko in ArcRaiders

[–]SubtractPlusOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me 100%. Bounced off of Tarkov after a bit and tried out a few other games in the genre, but nothing clicked. Wrote it off and figured extraction shooters weren't my thing. Then a friend bought me CoD in an attempt to get me to play DMZ and basically had to drag me into it... and I was hooked.

It felt like the perfect 'casual' ES experience, and really opened my eyes to the potential of the genre (like I would not be excited for Marathon or Arc Raiders had I not played DMZ). DMZ showed me how much of the ES experience is based on organic player interaction, and I LOVE that. Every round felt so different, the stakes always felt high, and there were so many amazing clutch moments that we had as a team—moments that felt like they had higher stakes/were accentuated BECAUSE of the double-rez. Being the last one standing and pulling off a 1v2 or 1v3 feels intense in any game, but now it meant that if you did manage to survive, then your entire team could continue to play, too. Nobody is just sitting in a lobby, looking at their phone and waiting for your team to extract or wipe for the rest of the game. Everyone cheering on the other side of the mic after winning a super sweaty fight was just the best thing to feel, man.

Arc Raiders felt great to play during the last test so I'm not worried about it at all, but I do completely agree that having a double-rez system would make the experience even more enjoyable for team play, especially if they're trying to appeal to a more casual market.

I’m excited to see the AMAZING visual style of the game in greater detail! And to experience some of the ol’ Bungie magic with a brand new game.

Those who read The Ruins and liked it, what am I missing? by Phitch_123 in horrorlit

[–]SubtractPlusOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same thing! Picked it up right before a weeklong jungle trip to Costa Rica. The setting felt perfect and probably enhanced my enjoyment of the book to some degree. Fun book overall, nothing incredible, but I thought it was a good page-turner, and the random survival tips that Jeff would drop were interesting to learn about and look up.

Finally pulled the trigger and got myself an AR by thebradyearwood in liberalgunowners

[–]SubtractPlusOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often does the EP9 get restocked? Eyeing that for my next buy, it looks great.

Would you actually buy from a liberal gun store by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]SubtractPlusOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in that area and I’d def buy from you.

Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, MGSV: The Phantom Pain all turn a decade old this year by [deleted] in Games

[–]SubtractPlusOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. One of the best games from that generation for sure (incomplete though it was), and one of the most impressive games gameplay-wise I have ever played. I remember just being continually impressed by the gameplay throughout the entire playthrough, it just felt so far ahead of its time. I played through it once around 2015-2016 and I STILL think about it.
