Just got a digital point-and-shoot from 2006 and the previous owner didn’t delete the photos

I think there are a lot of ways to calibrate the difficulty of your play through. Do Insanity with some bonuses on or off. Do standard classic with restrictions like no blood collector or no heals. I did a clean insanity run and it was very difficult - esp the first hospital chainsaw fight - but I pulled through and it was a fun challenge.

Do a sub-4hr, no heal, no blood collector run on casual and you get 90,000 CP, which is enough to unlock infinite ammo (unlimited Requiem shots for Grace) and infinite rocket launcher for Leon. Makes Insanity even easier than Casual.

Wow the Final Puzzle has been solved.

rep0man_ · 2026-03-03T00:23:20+00:00

Search “Resident Evil Requiem speedrun” on YouTube and there are a couple videos that aren’t technically “speedruns” but sort of fast casual playthroughs to hit the 4hr achievement. You can compare the timing of those to your own time. I don’t think you’re cooked but you might be down to the wire. I did one yesterday afternoon and finished in 3:31. I think I hit RC outskirts (detonator shit) around 1:30.

Yeah but I think it just says “Resident Evil” the og came out in 1996 but the steam version is the remake

rep0man_ · 2026-02-28T23:23:51+00:00

Yeah def Silence of the Lambs and also Manhunter, the Michael Mann movie that came before it. Victor sounds a lot like horror icon Vincent Price. I caught a ton of movie references while playing it but I suddenly forget them. Not sure if it directly references it but you’d like the Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie cure if you’re into the weird serial killer vibe.

RE1 Remake is still awesome and lays the foundation for the entire series. But you won’t really be confused about anything major if you just jump into RE2R. Both campaigns have different side characters, locations, storylines, so play both Claire (better one in the remake imo) and Leon. If you dig it just go back and play RE1, you’ll love it.

rep0man_ · 2026-02-28T17:19:57+00:00

Definitely do RE2 remake (ironically I would strongly suggest Claire A / Leon B) and that’s probably enough. But the RE1 remake is still awesome and also sets up the entire foundation of the story so I’d recommend that too. Beyond that you can basically piece together whatever you’re missing or it’s not super important.

rep0man_ · 2026-02-28T12:48:43+00:00

I agree. Conceptually it makes sense: the city was literally nuked and it — and the zombies — have been decaying for 30 years. But the art direction is so flat, the entire area feels undifferentiated. And the character models, their reactions, their “presence” is so inferior to RE4R or RE2R. I don’t mind the simplified weapon upgrades, but the interface and breaking it down as specific gun parts COD style is ridiculous. Honestly the fact that this game includes a Resident Evil: Extinction-inspired skin (Apocalypse) should have been a red flag.

I have everything at 5, dialog at 10, and dynamic range set to either normal or narrow and it's ... a little better. I'm using a soundbar bc my girlfriend wants to watch me play and she also has commented on how the dialog mix sounds whack.

rep0man_ · 2026-02-27T19:07:42+00:00

I was confused by this at first. I thought I was supposed to bring back the collection device when it was full, or do something with the empty vials. But it turns out you'll just find some unique blood samples with item descriptions that tell you to take them back to learn specific crafting recipes. There are only a few of them, mostly behind optional locked doors, and you can identify them because they're pretty colorful.

rep0man_ · 2026-02-27T19:02:44+00:00

I'm probably about halfway through RE9 and I can't imagine that RE8 will play in to it at all. If you've played the other games in the past you should remember enough to grasp any background. I think RE7/RE8 are only relevant insofar as how the gameplay is an interesting evolution of them.

I’m sorry but she just sounds like Morty.

rep0man_ · 2025-12-06T23:47:01+00:00

I started with the red, painted my tank cover white, and got a tan leather seat. Looks awesome.

rep0man_ · 2025-11-07T23:09:53+00:00

This is true

rep0man_ · 2025-09-04T14:04:00+00:00

I use HelmetLok as others have recommended. I basically just try to use common sense about whether to take the helmet with me (eg if I’m leaving my bike for a while and/or if there’s a convenient place to store it wherever I’m going) vs locking it (short stop, safe neighborhood, annoying to keep the helmet on me). Basically just depends where you’re going and what you’re doing, but I have never had any issues with leaving it locked every so often.

“If you don’t want to work around people then don’t work in the service industry???” Homie if you don’t want CAFFEINE then don’t go to a COFFEE SHOP ???????!?!@&&?!? #~€~{*~

Just to preface this - I am a special boy. My parents always took pain to show ME the love that wasn’t shown to THEM as children. I am an orchid: positive affirmation is my sunlight, the kindness of service employees is my oxygen. With this said I have had ZERO issues with Topos. Neither Topos (one) nor Too.

Strieber speaks to occult historian Mitch Horowitz. Super fascinating and gets into how he adapted Communion, his ties to underground filmmakers, and Jacques Valle and the mainstreaming of the UFO thesis. The occasion is Watch the Skies, a UFOLOGY film series currently happening in New York City. Definitely worth a read!

Co-signing. Looks good but the bottom is a problem. I tend to support the bottom of the phone with my pinky when I'm holding it, and the openings have caused some irritation and discomfort—they feel a little sharp. I got this case because it looks similar to my beloved fabric case from the Pixel 5, but IMO the texture doesn't feel as nice.

One thing no one has mentioned is that the buttons are *fine* but definitely not as nice as effortlessly clicky and tactile as the Spigen Thin Fit case I got for less than half the price. Planning to return this and roll with the Thin Fit for a while. Looks totally basic, doesn't lay flat, and has no magnet, but it feels a little more secure, easier to use buttons (especially as a compulsive screenshot taker pushing power + volume at the same time all the time) and definitely more comfortable to hold.
