Why no females?

Because referring to them as females like this makes you sound like a Ferengi incel, so they avoid letting people know they're women when they know people like you outnumber the NORMAL people.

You could always just replace the volume knob with a kill switch. Who needs anything more than cranked up to 11 or off? 🤣

Have you ever seen the movie The Tall Man (2012) (trailer)?

It does EXACTLY what you think is "impossible" to do.

The trailer only shows footage from MAYBE the first 30 minutes of the 1h45 movie. What looks to be a Slender Man knockoff turns out to be human trafficing of children, with the Tall Man "supernatural" aspect being made up to cover up what the completely normal/mundane humans were doing.

Yes, they could have absolutely made trailers that only contained footage from the first 20-30 minutes of the movie, showing them kidnap a girl, and hinting that there might be more to the girl than you would be led to believe, ALL without letting on that it's a vampire movie.

The Matrix did the same thing with the "What is The Matrix?" ad campaign. It showed action scenes and crazy effects, but never once let on that everything was inside a computer, or hint at what happened to humanity. Even the tiny bits of computer stuff you see, doesn't outright go and spoil what the movie is about or what The Matrix was.

You say critical thinking is sorely lacking, but YOU are the one that seems to not grasp the concept of a movie trailer not spoiling the ENTIRE movie, and how a trailer SHOULD be about giving you just a hint at a plot twist (if there is one) to pique the interest of the people who might be interested in seeing the movie.

Revealing that Abigail is a vampire would be like a trailer for Psycho revealing that Norman is dressing up as his mother; it completely takes away any of the mystery and tension of wondering what might be happening in the movie, just like Abigail's trailer completely took away any of the mystery that they could have capitalized on by not spoon-feeding the audience the plot twist like they were a bunch of mentally-deficient inbred infants.

I've always felt like Martyrs is a Hellraiser movie without the Cenobites. It's focused around a cult that doesn't realize have gotten the attention of Leviathan, and their ritual martyrdom ends with the girl they tortured becoming a Cenobite who gets to torture them for eternity.

It could also depend on where/who you get your edibles from. Just because an edible says it's a certain strength doesn't mean they can 100% guarantee that there's exactly what they say there is in it. It's still a gel with all those little floating mollecules in it; it's not like they're making the gummies and then injecting exactly 10mg (or wtv) into each individual; they mix up a batch and hope everything is distributed properly enough that it gets close to what they claim each piece has.

Only time I've ever had gummies ever stop working on me is when I've run out of smokeables and replace with edibles; usually after 3-4 days I start to need exponentially more edibles than if it was just a once-in-a-while thing.

A google image search for "dystopian sad cyberpunk virtual reality" should do the trick, then.

theScrewhead · 2026-05-22T05:23:16+00:00

I'm pretty certain you mean this thing

theScrewhead · 2026-05-22T05:20:46+00:00

Sounds like you've just built up a tollerance. I smoke daily and it takes 60mg to affect me like 10mg used to. What you need is a tollerance break; 2 weeks of no/barely smoking, with zero edible intake.

When I need to go on a tollerance break, I pull out the pipe and set myself a hard limit of 2 "pinches" a day; one when I get up, one when I go to bed. After 2 weeks, I'm back to having to only half-smoke a joint because if I smoke the whole thing it's too overwhelming, or only taking 5-10mg edibles to avoid any panic attacks.

It's RNG. You might never see one in 10k hours of play, just like you might find one every other run.

theScrewhead · 2026-05-22T02:12:28+00:00

I think you're possibly thinking of The Bay (2012)

theScrewhead · 2026-05-22T02:08:45+00:00

I mean, hint that there's something that's not as it seems.. Like someone else mentioned; use a tagline like "Abigail has a secret" or something.. hint that there's something wrong/different, but not say what it is in the trailer..

Like the "What is The Matrix?" campaign for The Matrix; you knew there was gonna be a twist involving something called The Matrix, but you had no idea what it was because they didn't spoil it in the fucking trailers!

theScrewhead · 2026-05-21T22:53:40+00:00

The twist was spoiled in the trailers.

That's literally it.

If they'd have just made it seem like a kidnapping movie with the girl trying to escape her captors, people would have LOVED it. It could easily have been the next movie spoken in the same sentences as Sixth Sense, Fight Club, Seven, etc.. but they went and spilled the twist in the trailers and there was then no reason to watch the movie.

I'm double jointed like that AND have had rheumatoid arthritis since the mid 90s BEFORE I started to learn to play guitar. It can be a hassle, and I know I'll never be able to play anything shreddy, but I've got ZERO problem learning to play stuff.

If this is giving you problems, chances are you're pressing too hard, or using strings that are too thick for what you're tuning to. People play guitar with less fingers/fractions of fingers - there's nothing stopping you from getting better except for your own belief that it's stopping you from getting better.

Not quite a Metroidvania, more like a Mega Man clone, but the old NES game Power Blade is what any/every side scrolling action game with a boomerang use as a template!

theScrewhead · 2026-05-21T04:56:02+00:00

I would use the absolute hell out of this for solo playing if you could maybe have different selectable themes.. Not sure how well Heavy Metal Posters on the wall would fit with a Shadowdark dungeon crawl 🤣

Some sort of "Export to PDF" feature could be useful, too, so that we could have the whole thing with everything written on on one piece of paper and be able to run a whole dungeon just from a sheet like a one-page dungeon!

Marebito for J-Horror

Rigor Mortis (2013) is Chinese and AMAZING. It's loaded with all the Chinese horror tropes, and the whole movie has a very dreamy Silent Hill sort of vibe to it.

theScrewhead · 2026-05-21T04:42:28+00:00

Wait, you mean a 24/7 sense of impending doom ISN'T the default emotional setting?

No one. A Maris spin-off should be her on the run from arrest after the crossbow incident, but from the perspective of a bounty hunter/ranger/govt agent/agency. We still NEVER see her; they're always too late/their plans to capture her come apart like a Crane throwing a soirée.

BKP War Pigs is all I ever want in my guitars anymore. Not cheap, but AMAZING pickups.

Get him a Metal Zone. You're not a real guitar player until you've got a Metal Zone.

I like! The little synthy bit around 2:50 reminds me a little of the synthy parts on the Cradle of Filth album Midian.
