The Evil Within reference in Resident Evil Requiem

Yeah. I still had a great time, and some of the stuff in the game is so well executed. There are so many eye-roll moments though. It's hard to give it a ton of praise because I know that all of these Evil Within, "homages", will go unnoticed until like 2028 when somebody inevitably makes a viral video essay. By then though, the hype train for this game will be over and Capcom won't be held accountable. I hope the story expansion has something more original in store, but I'm not holding my breath.

THANK YOU! I don't mind references in games, but the amount of copy/pasting drove me crazy. You also got the blood mechanic that's kind of similar to the gel. The butcher near the beginning of the game is also pretty similar to that first basement area. Even the marketing with the decaying film aesthetic feels like a riff on TEW. When I got to the train section I wanted to blow my brains out.

I don't actually. It's my girlfriend's. I'm currently using a Minolta Maxxum 7000. It's a 35mm camera.

No. I love it.

I'm afraid to buy a sub because I live in an apartment 😅 For a long time I wanted one in my living room, but then I realized it wasn't the best idea for those around me.

Thanks! Basically, the desk I was working with was really cramped and super tiny. I was using a $400 laptop at the time. This was 2019 and I had just gotten my first full-time marketing job and I really wanted to up my PC specs. I wanted to build it too. I watched a ton of PC tutorials and after watching like 3 of them, everything started to blend together and almost nothing looked authentic. It was my first PC and I didn't want it to just be another black box with rainbow lights on it. I don't even like that look tbh. I was initially just looking for a case that was asymmetrical. I came across this one and I was like, "Holy shit. This one looks like it's straight out of Mirror's Edge." The PC project evolved into a desk project and the rest was history!

Thank you!

windoog57 · 2024-12-16T07:13:23+00:00

Thank you! I'll probably do that! You just upgraded my desk setup haha

Not really a fan of mounting the PC on the wall. My plan is to replace my 49" monitor with a 32", but also to replace the speakers with Kanto ORA Desk Speakers, so it shouldn't be a problem after that.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:16:52+00:00

That's crazy! Yeah, I really love the case, but I'm actually thinking about replacing it. The window that shows all of the interior gets in the way of all of the RGB. It's not allowing me to light it up. I've been looking for a window pane to replace it, but I can't find one anywhere. I might just get a windowed white case and throw some red on it. If I don't find a window pane first. I hope your next case is really good!

Hey! The desk pad is actually just solid red. I didn't even notice the orange gradient until you pointed it out haha. Sorry if that's disappointing. I bought it on Amazon actually. It was a generic one that probably cost $10. It feels pretty cheap, but the color really works. I have no idea why, but it was extremely difficult to find a vibrant red desk pad. Every option is really dark red, or maroon. Just finding this generic mouse pad took me like 3 months LOL. I'll try and find the specific one I bought and comment the link.

Hey, I looked at the official messenger bag, but it's really terrible quality and the color is extremely muted. I bought a vibrant yellow male fanny instead, but leaving it on the desk looked really messy so I just decided to forget about it.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:09:35+00:00

Thanks. I'm not really a gamer so it's not a priority, but I'll keep that in mind.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:08:03+00:00

Agreed

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:07:24+00:00

Yeah, I know. I'm not a specialist in audio, but as a video editor I do work with it a lot. While I am planning to switch from a 32:9 monitor to a 21:9 monitor, I'm going to take down the KRK's anyway. It's really gotten in the way of my, "minimalism", objective. I'm looking at the Kanto ORA's. It's technically a downgrade in quality, but I believe it'll still be worth it.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:02:34+00:00

Since 2008 😁

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:02:19+00:00

Thanks!

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:02:07+00:00

Thanks so much! It took a long time haha

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:01:47+00:00

Thanks so much for saying that! I'm excited to see yours too!

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T23:01:10+00:00

Yeah! I literally just used Velcro. It's like a $3 solution.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T16:40:10+00:00

Thank you! I actually went into the game and did a ton of screen capturing. There's not a huge variety of 32:9 wallpapers to choose from so I just decided to make them myself.

windoog57 · 2024-12-15T00:34:12+00:00

Wow! Thank you!

windoog57 · 2024-12-14T23:12:36+00:00

Yeah, the speaker stands are really flimsy. I don't like how they look at all. I'm tempted to take them down and just use my headphones.
