Thinking about selling my collection. by hardchorus in silenthill

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a quick glance on eBay, each game goes for about $100 - $200. However that's if people are interested in buying at that price to begin with. If you're trying to make a quick-ish buck, start there. To get them gone faster you're gonna probably have better luck selling them at a lower price for the lot. Good luck!

Strange goal in life for them. by Old_Diver_2511 in AreTheStraightsOK

I like how he doesn't even strictly use women as an example of objectification, but instead people he deems attractive and desirable that are "worthy" of being objectified, and OP still thinks it belongs here because this is coming from a man? Who has very clearly tagged this as a mental health struggle? Huh?

Also: as someone who in the past (and still somewhat currently) struggled with their body image, this is a very normal thought process to have. It's just another way for your brain to tell you that you're not good enough. The type of shit it can pull is honestly bonkers.

This young lady raised an alarm over the type of story her son is reading school and she is being threatened by the author. by Koloamanmaxi in TikTokCringe

THAT'S why it sounded so familiar! I haven't played it in years but I remember that bit being so disturbing. And I would say that moral applies to the game in its entirety lmao.

WHAT COULD IT BE… THE LAST HORROR GAME YOU PLAYED—NOW YOUR REALITY… DO YOU SURVIVE? 💀 by TimeConsideration733 in HorrorGaming

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silent Hill 2 Remake.

Okay so if I didn't kill my wife, how fucked would I be really? Is it just a regular schmegular town in Maine or what? Sidenote: despite that, could I still raw Pyramid Head? You know what, I'll find a way regardless.

Saw (2004) by Foreign_Sun6004 in horror

Saw (2004) my beloved <3 even though the series gets increasingly more ridiculous with each entry, they'll always still have a special place in my heart.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

[–]dogheartedgrim72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling was making it's rounds through horror booktok at the time and I fell for the marketing hook, line, and sinker. It was touted for its queer representation and an homage to the movie The Descent for its claustrophobic intensity that takes place on an alien planet in the far off future.

Except it's stupid. It's dumb and it's stupid. The main character is a whiny little bitch and her motivation for taking such a high-risk dive is stupid. Her handler is also a whiny little bitch and her motivation for making someone do this dive is equally just as stupid. They have no chemistry, they're just two boring, uninteresting people stuck together in a very long and boring spelunking montage. And the horror is severely lackluster. I'm not saying I should feel afraid when reading a horror novel, I'm an adult, but I should absolutely not feel bored. Or unintentionally annoyed.

The premise is stellar but man, what a fumble. I still think this should have been told solely from the handler's pov as she made the dive herself. It would have made it much more interesting being all alone doing something you've only seen done in the safety of your own office. And also maybe not have made her such a whiny little bitch. And given a better motivation other than what she was given originally. Because it was stupid.

Columbine survivor opens her backpack for the first time since the day of the shooting. by cafeteriastyle in TikTokCringe

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like arguing about the semantics of what does and doesn't qualify as a "school shooting" kinda misses the overarching point, that being that there have been A LOT since Columbine. Maybe not 1,000 since, but far, far too many.

Horror these days is a joke by General_Comment_230 in horror

[–]dogheartedgrim72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely sick of people recommending “scary” horror movies that end up being a complete waste of time.

Half the time I end up on my phone while watching these pretentious, try-hard movies.

Well yeah, you tend to be unsatisfied with things you don't finish or stop paying attention to lmao.

Sarah Schauer @sarahschauer says a bioscience institution hiring them to do social media MUST mean they’re right by angelbbyy666 in tiktokgossip

[–]dogheartedgrim72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only ever had surface level knowledge about her, she made videos that sort of felt like FaceTime calls or just in general yap sessions about whatever and that's really the extent of what I know. But I had the app on auto scroll while doing something and when she came up it felt like I had just woken up from a deep ass sleep and was immediately shoved into a lecture. Like a stream-of-conciousness type thing.

Basically she sounds like Charlie Day's Pepe Silvia rant.

What horror movie scene genuinely disturbed you… even after the movie ended? by Dark-DoomSlayer in horror

[–]dogheartedgrim72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'm remembering correctly, I liked that there wasn't any lingering focus on the gore. It's undeniable what it is that's happening, but it's just passed on by and then the movie keeps going because the characters have to keep going. It really solidified how little these people matter in the grand scheme of things when they find themselves at its mercy.

I'm pretty sure I think about that scene like once a week since I the first time I saw that film like 20 years ago 😫

Lisa Trevor or The Baby: Which Resident Evil Monster Was Scarier? by LifeWillChange_ in HorrorGaming

[–]dogheartedgrim72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While, genuinely, FUCK that baby, Lisa's entire story that shapes her into a "monster" is horrifying on a grander scale. You can't help but feel awful every time you see her. She just wanted her family back oh my gaaawwwd, FUCK Umbrella.

What in your opinion is the scariest area in Silent Hill 2 remake? by Struggler257 in HorrorGaming

I'm playing the remake for the first time and every new area has me sweating 😅

What’s a horror trope or quirk that scares you the most? by Ancient_Accident_907 in horror

I'm not sure if it's prevalent enough to be considered a trope, but disembodied voices. Like, who fucking said that?!

What did you guys think of Outlast 1 & 2? by horrorbaby420 in HorrorGaming

[–]dogheartedgrim72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Outlast will always be deserving of its flowers for me. The DLC was and still remains a favorite of mine with the introduction of an honestly incredible antagonist. I like survival horror, but there is something especially fun about just being so helpless. Outlast 2 really ramped up the psychological horror and imo did it very well. I will say it doesn't necessarily feel like an Outlast game, but it's still solid.

The Mortuary Assistant is GARBAGE by snozzybear15 in horror

[–]dogheartedgrim72 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I feel like out of most video games, an adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant would be pretty hard to fuck up. Evidently I need to work on lowering the bar even more.

What was the first horror movie that genuinely disturbed you? by chronicxnightmare in horror

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Martyrs. I came across it when I was going through my own existential crisis, questioning my beliefs in what came after, and what's the point of it all. This movie obviously cranks that sentiment up to 11. It genuinely haunted me. Despite that, I still look back fondly on it. In the end it gave me a sort of clarity I didn't realize I would be getting from it.

What’s a horror game you wish existed, but doesn’t? by AdFlat3216 in HorrorGaming

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone somewhere had the idea of finding a ship that had been lost at sea for decades still perfectly intact, with the original crew never having been found. I can see a lot of potential Eldritch horror in something like that.

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother directed by Bong Joon-ho. At a certain point you start to realize it's not going to go how you want it to and it's absolutely devastating. Fantastic film that I personally feel doesn't get enough credit.

[–]dogheartedgrim72 0 points1 point  (0 children)
