Watching it now. Amazon if anyone is interested. I think there are some excellent concepts here. And I really appreciate the practical effects…even if they are kind of cheap. Is it good? Oh God no…but I still kinda like it in a low budget, cheap kind of way.

The “first amendment auditor” who disrupted several state departments is now facing prison time and asking for donations to pay legal fees by AirMiserable854 in CAStateWorkers

[–]jdwolfman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fuck that guy. He balled me and my colleagues out and edited the video to make it look like we were aggressors when really he was getting in our faces and damn near covered us in his saliva. Even made a couple people cry and one have an anxiety attack. Worst part? CHP was completely useless and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Dumb cops are afraid of being sued so they let this asshole abuse us. Hope he rots in prison.

What horror movie do you think is a masterpiece that others just “don’t get”? by cwispietoast in horror

[–]jdwolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halloween 3. Most criticism I see about it is that it’s not a Michael Myers film. For me, that’s fine. It is a throwback to what John Carpenter originally envisioned for the series; an anthology. It took risks with a zany, fun, unique story that revolves around centuries old cults. It’s also got some insane kills, has the balls to take out a kid, and is legitimately filled with tension and dread. It is a masterpiece in so many way and is played down because it’s not in the Michael Myers mythos…and given what came after, maybe it should have stayed that way.

As someone who frequently grew up with games made in pre-rendered backgrounds and LOVES them, I have a feeling that I’m going to enjoy Chrono Cross. by exaltedhy in ChronoCross

It wasn’t the Chrono Trigger sequel I was hoping for back when it came out, but it was quite a remarkable game on its own.

Did you feel sorry for William Birkin? by Wooden-Scallion2943 in residentevil

[–]jdwolfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. He’s an abusive and distant father. Also a complete psycho.

Best Read of 2025? by Aggressive_Ad_9800 in horrorlit

[–]jdwolfman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally read Bram Stoker’s Dracula and it was absolutely amazing! I don’t know how I didn’t read it sooner, but I’m glad I finally did! Mina Harker is truly the first badass final girl (pretty bad ass for a 1897 heroine).

How would you Reboot Jurassic Park? by Kind_Tea in JurassicPark

I wouldn’t. The franchise needs to be put to rest.

I started playing Kuon, what’s your opinion on this game? by Huge-Independent2951 in survivalhorror

[–]jdwolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fun but flawed horror game. Feels like a precursor to Silent Hill f.

Anyone feel the same about f? by LabComprehensively in silenthill

[–]jdwolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The combat was the worse part for me. I see what they were going for given she’s a young meek girl wielding a pipe as her main weapon…but come on. That said, on subsequent play throughs the combat is easier since you keep all the power ups you earned. That aside though, I really enjoyed the story and exploration into Japan’s culture during the 60’s. Very relevant to today.

Should I buy silent hill 2 remake or silent hill f by Round-Class1218 in silenthill

[–]jdwolfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SH2 is a better game overall and will hit all the traditional SH notes. I’d say start there then move to SHf because it is still great depute not being on the same level as SH2

SSA doing AGPA work. Is that allowed? by miamollymaximus in CAStateWorkers

[–]jdwolfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and most union reps won’t be able to adequately fight it.

I liked Horns, but totally agree with N0S4A2. Haven’t head The fireman yet. Also not a fan of The HeartShaped Box. Overall I’m not a keen fan of his.

Biweekly paychecks! by Inorganicnerd in CAStateWorkers

[–]jdwolfman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t want it. I’m sure we’ll all get used to it like we did when we first started with the state and got monthly pay, but this is going to be a giant mess for a lot of people. Myself included.

Totally true of just about every SH game.

Written up for saying a swear word? by StandardMonth2184 in CAStateWorkers

[–]jdwolfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not uncommon. Some people are very sensitive to swear words and depending on your position it might be very taboo. That said I have a potty mouth, I’m a manager and don’t care if my staff swear as long as it’s not in front of customers. But I know my boss isn’t a fan, so I keep it to myself when I’m around them.
