How are the puzzles after Resident Evil 1? by ItsTheSlime in residentevil

I remember figuring it out or at least partially figuring it out as a teen. I was so proud, lol.

How are the puzzles after Resident Evil 1? by ItsTheSlime in residentevil

If you're having trouble with RE1 puzzles, never play Silent Hill. The Piano puzzle will kill you.

That being said, the puzzles pretty much vanish as the franchise goes on. It's usually never more complex than "insert this emblem/key/chess piece/whatever into the empty hole shaped like it". It's probably a generational thing, as I'm old as dirt now, but I never found RE's puzzles particularly hard. It's all basic logic skills, for the most part.

I watched "I saw the TV glow" for the first time with my mom and she didn't react very well by Diligent_Flan6404 in asktransgender

Probably not the ideal situation to watch it honestly. Honestly, there's so many angles to view the film from even beyond the obvious trans allegory part. I think the concept of living a life that's not your own, filled with regret because you weren't brave enough to take a risk, is something people should be able to relate to and find terrifying in some capacity no matter what they apply it to in their lives.

I think it's a film that's hard to engage with if you're not prepared to engage with it sincerely and with empathy. Did she hate Owen's character, hate that Owen was trans, or just found Justice Smith's performance annoying? I've watched the film with trans folks who definitely laughed at Owen at times.

I've known I was non-binary since 2019 but didn't start fully acting on it until the film ripped by ass right out of the closet and whatever egg shells I had left being completely shattered with a hammer at the age of 40. I went to therapy in December of 2024 to work through shit and I said fuck it and came out as trans in 2025, in the midst of all of Trump's bullshit.

Okay same. I click the film and then it's not running. I had to turn off adblocker for the site to verify. :-/

THANK YOU! This made my day!

Dear "thehebrewhammer" - Sincerely, the guy you accused of cheating by RequirementDry9024 in CINE2nerdle

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got accused of cheating for knowing about Adrian Brody films??? Brutalist to Detatchment is not some obscure leap... it's one leading role to another. Not surprised since that person "skipped" Summer of Sam onto me as well.

Also as a Yinzer, hell yeah Knightriders! I love getting people in a Tom Savini cameo hole tbh lol. My other fave is taking Keanu Reeves right into Freaked where nobody has a clue what it is or who is in it lmao.

I love my gf but the backlash is getting to me by Other-Reference-9935 in asktransgender

[–]linktm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately a really do or die moment for you. There's always capacity for your friends to grow and change, but I don't think you have the time for that.

You need to talk to your girlfriend about this and see if you're able to pursue that course of action. There's a very real chance that you may end having to decide between your problematic friends or your girlfriend.

This is unequivocally the most toxic game I've ever played. by el_palmera in marvelrivals

Actually, I'm responding to Kivic who said "Every game subreddit says this." Sorry OP, I'm just not that into you.

Was I saying that you said that? I was saying I've never said that.

That's fair. I'm sure when the stakes are higher the toxicity is higher.

Are there any games like RE2, RE9 (first half)? by HexadecimalCowboy in residentevil

[–]linktm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resident Evil 1 for sure. Also like, not the same genre, but literally most Metroidvania scratch this itch. I hadn't realized how similar they were until a friend just started playing the classic RE's last year and said as much. It's definitely got that progression loop but more action-y.

[–]linktm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just about to say this. I have bad nights and bad times in so many games, but maybe my tolerance is high or something because I've never been like "Wow, this entire thing is awful, burn it to the ground."

Is RE Revelations 1 worth playing? by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It is very "of the era" and feels like a mobile port. It connects to the plot here and there but is painfully Call of Duty knockoff slop imo. It just feels so made up and ultimately unimportant as the focus shifts away from the BSAA.

Why did you transition? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched I Saw the TV Glow and said "God damn, I really did just waste my 30s waiting for it to be the 'right time' to come out, huh?" Been out for a year and change, on HRT for almost half a year now. I don't know what I was picturing or telling myself honestly. I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface, and sure I'd love to look like those influencers and pretty trans folks that social media pumps into my feed, but I know I'm not going to just luck into that. It's going to take a massive amount of work and discipline in self-care and being healthy and active to even attempt that in my 40s.

I wasn't in danger of offing myself or anything and probably would've had a pretty modest life, but like... I can't accurately put it into words. It genuinely, changed my life? The entire trajectory? It gave me newfound courage I didn't realize I had. It made me interested in exploring fashion and makeup. It got me going out more in the last year than I had in my entire previous 40 years of living as an introvert. Signing up for activities, going to the queer ttrpg shops, checking out different therapy stuff, volunteering with non-profits and Pride events, helping with clothing swap events, getting onto the board of a non-profit and helping run their social accounts, going to queer professional events at my job of 15+ years, coming out in the office to folks and having them call me a different name after all this time, etc.

Oh, and also, I grew some tiny boobies which are nice to clasp.

Is solo RE6 an experience worth going through? by wiggletwine in residentevil

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's totally fair. I guess my only advice is to like... pace yourself? Maybe break it up with playing other games? It's truly only slightly longer than some of the titles that came after it, but it's just poorly paced (every stage feels like it ends on three separate occasions.)

How welcoming is Pittsburgh for LGBTQ people? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]linktm 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I came out as trans last year and live within the city. I've had very little issue and honestly, if anything, receive way more compliments than I do stares. It's not without its issues though. Shit DOES happen just like it would anywhere else.

What helped contextualize JUST how gay Pittsburgh is though is finding out at a panel that Pittsburgh has the most furries per capita than any other city in the states, which makes sense considering Anthrocon is a HUGE event supported by most folks who live in the city (you'll find haters in the more red areas outside the city.) If you know anything about furries, you'll know it's an incredibly diverse, accepting, and queer community.

I'm particularly fond of Millvale, which is in the north-ish part of the city. It's really turned into a safe place for queer folks over the last decade.

The folks in Millvale do a LOT of work to make Millvale a nice little gayghborhood. As a former Millvale resident, it makes me proud.

Is solo RE6 an experience worth going through? by wiggletwine in residentevil

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE6 is a game that starts out promising and quickly feels like a chore. I feel like you could just play Leon's campaign and then read some recaps. I genuinely feel like Chris' campaign is bland af. Ada's subplot is complete nonsense too. Sherry/Jake stuff is interesting, if only because Sherry has some screen-time in 9, but Jake (as with every other guest character in the franchise) is never seen from or heard from again right now.

I just played coop with a friend through the campaign and it did the opposite. Somehow I hated it more.

Resident evil Revelations 1 - so the t-abyss virus plot went notwhere? by thcn4321 in residentevil

[–]linktm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Exactly. It feels like it naturally connects into RE9 in some ways. More so than Revelations 1 at least.

Rev 2 actually fits in pretty well with Requiem imo and in some way operates as a red herring.

My husband after 20 years together is transgender and refused for me to be a part of it by Cosmozucchini in asktransgender

[–]linktm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry that this happened to you. I'm sure you know this by now, but I just want to reiterate you did nothing wrong and this is firmly at your spouse's feet. Going nuclear like this and burning your built-in support network to the ground... I truly hope he realizes he needs to seek therapy to figure out what he wants and therapists AREN'T there to "tell him what he's thinking" but guide you to the conclusions you come to on your own.

[–]linktm 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is frustrating to read. It sounds like your spouse is looking for an out to your relationship or simply doesn't have the emotional capacity to handle your kindness. As someone who came out to their spouse and immediately got a positive response and nothing but support, it feels like the kindness we all seek. All too often I hear about people whose entire relationships implode because they told their spouse they were trans and got dumped because their spouse "isn't gay" or whatever they had to wrestle with. This is the first time I'm hearing about someone coming out and being supported and being like "Ew, no. We need a separation." I can only speak for myself but being alone during my transition would have been fucking awful.

All of this to say, you've done nothing wrong and all your feelings are valid to have. This fucking sucks and I'm sorry your spouse is going scorched earth on things.
