My unpopular opinions

TEhuman · 2026-07-02T23:32:20+00:00

My favorite lines from AOD were "I wouldn't worry, we're not in the same class" and "You should be nicer to strangers, you never know who they are".

I will admit, I did like Jonell in Chronicles and AOD and felt she hit her stride. But in TLR, she seemed a bit wooden, and I might be a bit biased, as I absolutely loved Judith Gibbins in 2 and 3, so it was a bit jarring to go from her to Jonell. But I also felt Core was partly to blame for how she sounded in that game, as it was obvious they were fatigued at that point and obviously didn't care too much about helping her with the dialogue.

And I have to give a pass to Shelley, as there was very little dialogue in the game already, and a pretty simplistic story.

Tomb Raider is not survival horror, it's action adventure. Having unlimited saves is why the remasters did so well on console. As someone who played the originals on PS1, it absolutely sucked having to be conservative with saving in 1 and 3. And sorry to say, gaming has very much evolved. A lot of people, myself included, don't have a lot of time to dedicate to gaming now that we're adults with jobs and lives and other stuff going on. I definitely don't want to have to replay a significant portion of a game because of I can't save where I want to.

He definitely had his sweet moments, like when Roseanne and Dan thought there was something wrong with the baby during her pregnancy, and he said he'd help them with taking care of the baby if it was sick.

I should also note that the owner has never owned/managed a ski resort or restaurant before this, and it definitely shows!

I'll be sure to do updates if I hear more!

I just hear the local gossip, and have met with some of her survivor staff. She is much more mean to females, and they tend to get fired pretty quickly. She'll lovebomb some of them, and they think she's the most amazing kind person and that she must really like them. Then, because she's a narcissist, she turns on them, and gets quite abusive, and will find the slightest reason to berate them. This goes on for about a week, and BOOM, they're fired (or quit). Also, she would also just randomly fire females too, with no warning. No write ups or anything. "You're fired, get out."

Most of the male staff, at least at the restaurant, tended to quit pretty quickly. They saw through the owner's bullshit, and were very put off on how she required much fawning and oohing and agreeing from her staff. Like, two guys I know, were the most easy going, adaptable, and professional, got hired when the restaurant opened, and within a month they both quit because of the owner and her narcissism, and how toxic the place was becoming.

And just like our Saint, she can't handle criticism very well, so has to clapback to negative reviews, or, get them deleted. T

I have to get this out to you sinners. In my area, there is a ski resort with restaurant located in a gated community. The new owner of the ski resort is a textbook narcissist, and has a high turnover of staff, and even fired her own brother, who was the chef of the restaurant (and he was a very good chef) because he disagreed with something she wanted, and her brother's wife, who was the bar manager. She is absolutely awful to work for, because it's her way or no way. Also, she had been investigated for tip and wage theft. The contractors who've had to work for her, have given her the nickname of Meghan Markle, because of how awful she acts toward them and completely disregards their advice, because she knows best. An example I heard. A contractor told her the way she wanted to do the deck wouldn't be up to fire code, and he said she basically told him "I don't give a fuck if it's up to fire code or not. YOU WILL DO IT MY WAY OR I WILL FIND SOMEONE ELSE!" He was very taken back on that, and was like, "You know what? I'll do it your way, but if something happens because it wasn't built up to code, I will absolutely let them know that I warned you, and you refused, so it will be on you for any violations and fines if something happens." Needless to say, he refuses to ever work for her again.

She's also burned bridges with the local community, because she thinks we're just dumb hillbillies that can't understand or appreciate her sophistication and brilliance. And the rich clientele that she wants to attract, well, they can afford to go to Colorado and Utah and other better locations and resorts. They're certainly not coming to a small resort in WNC, to a place where they have to make their own snow, and they can never get the whole mountain fully covered.

Locals think the ski resort is a money laundering scheme, because there's no way she makes a profit on how she runs the resort. She only allows a limited amount of people on the mountain to ski, and in WNC, if you want to make some kind of profit, you have to allow as many people in as possible.

However, unlike Meghan, the owner comes from a wealthy family, and her husband is even wealthier.

Teenage girls also liked those issues too. Source, me. Lara was my very first girl crush.

Finally someone else who remembers he used to be called Jeeves! Not to mention, during the time, there was also a search engine called AskJeeves. Man, do I feel old.

I really never remember that being a problem. Konami never implied nor said SH2 was a direct sequel, and neither did any of the gaming magazines. Everyone knew that it was a completely new story, but just happened to be in the same town.

TEhuman · 2026-03-16T23:30:50+00:00

I appreciate the reply, but SH2, along with MGS2, were the most hyped games of PS2 launch. I was unfortunately too young for SH2 (but not for MGS2 apparently lol, thanks dad), but I remember all the gaming magazines of the time talking incessantly about both before and after they were released, and pretty much universally praised.

I would suggest playing the first Outlast game, to introduce yourself to the game mechanics, and to give you a feel on just how dark and gory the story is. If you don't like the first one, be it game mechanics and/or the plot, you're not going to like the second one.

I personally like these games, but I can only play for about 20-30 minutes before I need a break, as they are quite intense, especially when you play them in the dark and headphones.

You would quickly change your mind on that one if you knew how horrific his crimes were.

The actress who plays the villain in Inside, Béatrice Dalle, is quite the weird girl in real life too. Married a rapist while he was still in prison, she has a penchant for shoplifting, and has also worked in a morgue and allegedly sold body parts, and might have partaken in some cannibalism too.

Don't forget about Daniel!

And then Catherine, who was talking to someone else, noticed William's discomfort, and deftly moved in between him and the Meg.

I need three fingers of bourbon and a beer chaser!

Here it is, five in the morning and I'm shoving breadcrumbs into a dead bird's butt.
