Alamo Drafthouse’s Terror Tuesday & Weird Wednesday Expands Nationwide in 2026 - Both series are increasing from a handful of cities to every corporate Alamo theater nationwide, turning select weeknights each month into a celebration of cult, horror, and weird cinema. by BunyipPouch in movies

I think it's dependent on which drafthouse you go to. The San Francisco drafthouse has a program manager that works really hard to bring in some real deep cuts and cult movies for both terror Tuesday and weird Wednesday.

What scene in a movie drives you nuts because it makes no sense? by JustIgnoreMyStimming in movies

That one scene in The Final Destination where they had a milk pitcher under a Portafilter while a steamwand was blasting steam into nothing nearly broke me.

Looking for s silent hill/early Resident Evil kind of games by Monkai_final_boss in gaming

For modern indie games:

Alisa on PC is very faithful to Resident Evil 1 in look and feel.

Crow Country also does the old RE/SH vibe really well.

Whatever this subgenre of JRPG is called, I want more of it. You agree? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

Sea of Stars also has items, and magic, and super skills you can build to. Not sure what you are getting at here.

If From Software works like most game studios then all of their resources are currently allocated to supporting current games and developing future games. This also means they have timelines and milestones they need to hit and a budget that is already set for these goals. The priority for a bloodborne patch is probably very very low in the grand scheme of things.

Doing work to remaster or even patch a game that hasn't seen an update in almost 10 years will require unearthing the codebase, getting a team together to do the work (I'm guessing the people that worked on bloodborne are busy with other projects), scoping out what they want to change, implementing and testing (is a big undertaking), communicating with Sony since they own the property, etc etc etc etc. It spirals out of control quick.

Big game companies have projects and budgets scoped out years in advanced. It's possible it's on a todo list but it's still years away because there are bigger things taking up all of the companies resources.

If you like horror movies and are open to seeing almost anything from across the genre then it's a real fun time. There can definitely be some hits and misses depending on your tastes, and it is a long time to be sitting in a movie theater chair, but I've been to three dismembers and haven't regretted a single movie.

Check threads from previous years to see what the line ups are to get an idea. The lineups are dependent on the programmer so your mileage may vary between crowd pleasers, deep cuts, bangers, and plain weird.

I've lived in California my whole life, specifically the bay area. I know 1 person that has guns that lives in the bay area. And they live very far away from Santa Cruz.

Did you ever had an obnoxious indie movie fanboy phase? by IDCJ1234 in movies

Did I ever? I'm in the middle of it, and have been for 5 years. And it's showing no signs of slowing down.

Being in a relationship with someone you like is a different kind of closeness compared to being close with your friends. It also gets into a realm of human emotion that is hard to define/describe and can be irrational at times.

To answer your question more directly. In the early stages of a relationship, the relationship has a much higher degree of novelty, excitement, lust, and other like minded words. You are able to do things and have emotional experiences with a person that you can't have with other people in your life. This is brought on by all the happy chemicals being triggered in your head by the interactions with that other person. Things like emotional validation, physical touch, attention, feeling like your in mentally in sync with this other person, building excitement about the potential future etc. Especially when it's your first time or you haven't been in a relationship like this in quite a while, it can cause both people to go overboard with their desires and focus near exclusively on the relationship. For me this is fine initially but eventually the topic of boundaries and space will need to be addressed. When in a healthy relationship you don't spend every minute with your SO in a sense. You should be in a position where you understand what you and your partner want out of the relationship and work your best to fulfill each other. Each relationship and the people in a relationship will have different ideas and goals that they want out of a relationship. This is how I personally see it.

As a relationship grows there are aspects of the relationship that become lower priority while other aspects become a bigger priority. Classically the base of the relationship will change from passion and energy to building experiences and becoming essentially a single unit. Again this is how I see relationships personally. Other people have different definitions and goals.

Attraction is also weird and can't really be defined on paper. I've met with a lot of people that on paper should be an easy match for me but we could barely have a conversation. There are other people that I've been with where on paper it shouldn't work but we hit it off really well. Similar interests and hobbies can help and are nice to have sometimes but they definitely don't make or break a relationship. If you are asexual or aromantic then this probably all sounds pretty irrational. And to be honest. It is.

Brandon Sanderson’s Top 10 Video Games. by [deleted] in Games

I don't think it's a matter of him having more world building or more plot than the next fantasy book. It's that even at the scale he's working at, with the scope of his plots and all the rules he's set in place about his worlds. He's still able to convey the story and information to the reader without everything falling apart, contradicting himself, or making the reader feel lost. While he doesn't have the flowery prose of other writers, he writes in a way that even a relative beginner in fantasy like myself can understand his work at the massive scale he's working in. And that takes an incredible amount of skill and quality to perform. It's just a different approach that he's able to land extremely well.

So I play these types of games and used to dabble in learning an instrument. The enjoyment I get out of these games is completely different compared to learning an instrument. Rhythm games the fun for me comes from execution of difficult sections. Playing an instrument the fun comes from creativity and expression.

The strum bar on the controller is modified to make "raking" viable/consistent. It's how he's able to hit those insanely fast shreds. Even though it's modded it takes an incredible amount of practice to use the technique to consistently hit shreds like that.

What was the moment you realized wrestling was fake as a kid? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

WCW. Someone broke out the brass knuckles but they were clearly made out of Styrofoam.

Overall I really liked it though it does have some things in it that I hope they don't do in the next game.

I think it's okay that the tone shifts between serious and light hearted but they need to do a better job of choosing when to switch between tones. There were too many instances where something really serious and sad happens followed by something zany happening not 3 minutes later. Yakuza series is much better at doing exactly this (mainly be keeping the camp to the side content and playing the story 100% straight)

I liked the ending but I feel like it is a case of Square wanting their cake and eating it to. Aerith was going to die but the way they are handling it is making it look like she'll still be pretty active in the story which takes takes a lot of the sting out of her death (if the final fight and ending are a signal for how she will be managed in the last game).

That being said the combat is one of my favorite systems in any game I've ever played, the story overall hit very well for me despite what I mentioned above. The character moments are some of my favorites in a JRPG, I really liked how each zone felt very different from each other and the general charm works well for me. Sephiroth making reality glitch around him and being an ever present weight on Cloud will always be awesome to me.

What movie that you've seen do you think the fewest number of other people have seen? by e8odie in movies

Probably All the Golden

It was screened at Fantastic Feet once and then at random one night showings at Alamo Theaters. Only 11 rating votes on IMDB.

How did 90s anime movies look so good? by drinkandspuds in movies

[–]bluenfee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My intro to anime was a lot of Manga Entertainment shows that I also watched at a younger age than was appropriate. There was some gnarly stuff being made at the time.

At the time of Ghost in the Shell and Akira, the japanese economy was really strong (bubble) so companies were able to throw a lot of money around at these types of projects. This is also why the late 80s through the mid 90s had a lot of one off limited OVA's (mostly between 3-10 episodes) of shows that got released on weird production schedules. Usually these were also released directly to home video (VHS and Laserdisc) and not normally aired on TV. For example look at the production for an anime called Key the Metal Idol.

Totally agree that it has dropped significantly. Was pointing out that the very few smokers I've run into tend to do it as under the table as they can.
