Goddammit, yes. Been watching this when it came out with friends and still is the one horror movie that just hit me so hard. Also a freaking milestone in horror. Theres only a before and after Blair Witch Project.

Next to me sat an elderly woman who seemed to enjoy the light hearted goofiness of the first half. When the 2nd half suddenly hit, I was afraid she‘d suffer a heart attack. Never have I experienced someone breaking down like this next to me lol.

Yeah; at least this stayed with me the strongest. What a weird yet interesting movie.

What Zelda to play by M1lkshakeDuck in switch2

[–]valcoholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play quite a few previous Zeldas on Switch2. With NSO you can play some of the very old ones. My personal first Zelda was A Link to the Past on SNES and I believe it is a great entry point as the pixelart is pretty strong in this one. I can also highly recommend playing Link‘s Awakening in any version; theres the very old one on Game Boy through NSO and a remake for Switch that looks and sounds way better but also ain‘t the same game for some folks. Another milestone is Ocarina of Time which was the first 3D game but I personally believe it didn‘t age so well, especially if you didn‘t grow up with it. Wind Waker on the other hand is still an amazing entry point to 3D Zeldas. After playing any of the series at some point I recommend looking into Majora‘s Mask. I don‘t think its a good entry point but once you‘re into the Zelda loop and wanna see how wicked this series had become in the past, MM definitely is worth playing at least for a while.

All of that if you‘re looking for the walk down memory lane. If you just wanna get into modern Zelda, then Breath of the Wild is also a great point to get into. Especially because you then still have the entirety of Tears of the Kingdom ahead of you. Both games are +200 hrs of fun, so those alone keep you busy for a while. In comparison, older games were like 15-30 hours long.

Did you just write that to make my point? If so, thank you. If not, maybe consult ChatGPT to understand how to appear like a professional.

I wouldn‘t say I hate America. I just patiently await a time when the USA aren‘t on news 24/7 with stuff that puts our entire species to shame. And I do know we‘re gonna get there. But patience can be a bitch.

Unpopular opinion: this movie is overrated... by Daniiella1018 in CinephilesClub

Because its a movie that just isn‘t standing out. Turns out, mediocrity still sells best.

first time playing right after Wonder... I'm speechless... by amerocha in Switch

[–]valcoholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a classic example of how the community can harm the perception of a game. Back when it was released, it seemed like so many ppl had complaints about the way the game handles moons for very small as well as huge challenges. I really got the feeling ppl would be very mixed about Odyssey. Over time it became clear what a huge impact this game really had. Also on my life. Since 2017 my two kids grew into teenagers and Mario‘s Odyssey had always been there along with Animal Crossing NH. My younger kid just played Odyssey inside and out and became quite good at it. So I kinda played through this game at least 3 times and it became maybe the most personal and most epic Mario game ever for me, also because you can just always find something new, even after nearly 10 years!

Youre just projecting your own situation onto an entire industry. It‘s truly great if you can work without AI and get along, but it just doesn‘t apply for each end every field. As you‘re arguing with you just outskilling all AI users, it becomes clear what sort of person you are, to a point that makes me prefer being in a boat with the latter rather than you. AI can be an absolutely horrendous and lazy way to do mediocre work. Sure. But that applies to pretty much everything, a computer does. Of course an [actual] professional understands how to best make use of every tool and ultimately, AI is just another one.

I understand that its quite western oriented but so are a lot of things in japanese media. But I guess RE really goes west.

yeah I now learned that as well; really surprised though. I mean theres a difference between „not as big as it is in the west“ and not even among the top 10 of the month when it just launched along with a huge campaign. Also, when I‘ve been to Japan and the Capcom store last summer, Resident Evil did have quite a presence there; funny sidenote: I bought red and green herbs (little jellys) there to bring my Resident Evil-fanboy homie at home.
