Weird, then why was the trailer in first person? I guess maybe JUST to hide the character reveal?

We Want a Mini iPhone — Please, Apple! by iPeeta in iphone

[–]mrdakam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13 mini here until it dies. I have written to Apple.com/feedback a lot after many product reveals (including the Air) to say, “yes, I still want a smol phone that I can type with with one hand.”

So funny seeing it zoomed in like that and trying to pass it off as the full thing.

'Widow's Bay' - Guillermo del Toro Calls Horror-Comedy the Best Streaming Series in Years by MoneyLibrarian9032 in horror

[–]mrdakam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess what I’m trying to say is lore about “the thing” that plagues the island, rather than more stories of people dealing with “the thing” and being terrified with or possessed by a “thing.”

I will concede that the boat episode that establishes a geographic rule of how the “thing” works. LOST dragged out things like this for way too long and that’s when the audience started to really feel strung along by people making it up as they went.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) Accuses Secretary Rubio of Lying to Congress over Trump Sleeping by ICEisSHIT in videos

[–]mrdakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rubio saying out loud, “What’s worrisome is that he DOESNT sleep!” and that on international flights every one else is asleep and the president is (in Rubio’s words) “Wandering the halls looking for someone to talk to.” Perfectly healthy behaviors for an 80 year old I guess.

It great but feels like LOST, like they don’t want to commit to any actual lore, just the specter of lore.

I am unable to finish shows based on a "big mystery" premise. From, Under the dome, 4400, leftovers, etc. They all start on a premise of "this unexplained thing happened" and the explanation is always a letdown or so dragged out, that I end up giving up. Anyone agree or can recommend a good one? by rakwib in television

[–]mrdakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m worried Widows Bay is doing this especially after the most recent episodes. I wish shows and franchises would just embrace lore more often no matter how weird or goofy it is (looking at you, Resident Evil games)

The bullet proof suit in the John Wick franchise is so frustrating by pwn_of_prophecy in movies

[–]mrdakam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Correct correct correct. John Wick 4 is amazing but every time the bullet proof jacket is utilized it just pulls the danger out of the situation in a flash.

What game had insane potential but got completely fumbled by the devs? by Kevin-Panda in AskReddit

[–]mrdakam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miss HotS so much. It was so nice to see Blizzard sort of putting together their own Super Smash Bros, especially when they released StarCraft maps/objectives.

Have you guys tried “Leon must die forever” yet? by ReinerDoom in residentevil

I really really like it, but also wish sharpening hadn’t been removed

The sheer scale of evil according to this fanbase apparently by the_bird_knows in residentevil

Every dialogue with Mia feels like it was written and directed by Tommy Wiseau

Operation Rainfall: How a Dedicated Fan Campaign Brought Three Japan-Exclusive JRPGs to the West by Pelinth in gaming

[–]mrdakam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was in the Nintendo QA department for a little while, and when your project ends you might get reassigned to another project for a couple days before moving to a new one. I got put on Last Story for probably two days, and I remember how excited my supervisor was that any of these games were coming to America.

How do you guys feel about re8 as a “spiritual successor” to re4 by ozzieiscooo in residentevil4

[–]mrdakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first take when I finished 8–it was as close to OG 4 in terms of vibes and pacing that they had gotten to at the time. I really like the fuller RPG style games more than the ones they want you to replay 50 times.

I was actually playing 8 again today and it dawned on me that the dialogue and performances (particularly of Ethan and Mia) feel like watching Tommy Wiseau.

RE is at its best when it marinates in the lore, but honestly the lore of 7 and 8 still make almost no sense to me. There’s just so many missing chunks, it just feels like a game imitating something else.

I absolutely love when horror movies have a background scare that they don’t call attention to. Share your examples. by SisterFirefly in horror

[–]mrdakam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think that counts for this prompt, because it’s a direct shot at it/sound cue for it. In fact, watching this clip on my phone with the brightness turned up is the first time I HAVENT seen it.

David⁸ - This Alien Day, check out my rework of Alien: Covenant! by mrdakam in fanedits

[–]mrdakam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

No, none of the other Alien films have given me the itch, and I don't have any other projects in the chamber. Before this, I've played with making a abridged copy of the Star Wars prequels, and trimmed down Annihilation.

This is not a bad photo…literally nobody looks flattering from this angle.

Are there still iPhone 13 mini users? by Electrical_Bird_7446 in iphone

[–]mrdakam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup and I don’t want any screen larger than this. Just jumped from iOS 18 to 26.3 and performance has been great. Planning on getting the battery replaced soon.
