So frightened by literal sticks and stones thrown at their stupid drones by a one armed man, that they resort to shelling the building.

You can move a pot or pan around pretty well on an induction, the only annoyance comes with dogshit "smart" features that beep and turn stuff off automatically without your control.

I think there just plain is a valid argument for both personal and collective safety to move away from open flames and inflammable gas supplies in average homes.

Whatever chuds are mad about with the SH2 Remake is definitely not caused by the project being treated like art, maybe besides the grander point but that game is a capital P product.

Really they should be happy they get a game designed from the outset to provide the player with x amount of gameplay for the price tag.

Well yeah, but it's more about the principle of it, he's supposed to be a ZA/UM old guard and that was part of his value in being in the documentary, so it's not as if being fired should be a radicalizing moment.

Basically I think he appears a bit too flexible, the radical rhetoric comes off leaning more towards branding than deep principle.

I don't really remember that tune coming out of Tuulik when he was still holding on to ZA/UM during the documentary lol.

Pretty big shift from meekly suggesting that maybe Kurvitz could get a license to keep writing in the Elysium world.

But whatever, they are making video games, time will tell if it will be interesting or not.

I'm probably a bad person to try and explain what to look out for in the remake compared to the original because I think the remake fundamentally has boring generic design for the gameplay. I think the original game has a unique experience with the atmosphere and the general traversal of the world, with the camera oftentimes deliberately forcing you to head towards unknown areas that you can't fully scout ahead of time, and a lot of the moment to moment scares within the gameplay rely on that, also it uses wide angles to emphasise isolation in a lot of the outside areas while using close ups to emphasise the cramped indoor spaces.

As far as the combat gameplay goes it does seem like that's more of a draw for you so I definitely see how Signalis would work better, and the new remake might work better just by virtue of following very blatantly in the footsteps of RE2 and RE4s remakes with tactical locational damage as a pretty critical part of crowd management, from what I've seen.

Probably more a combined campaign of intimidation towards leftists and the MENA minority populations, and then a circular self justification for legal crackdowns and police campaigns against them.

I've been seeing Norwegian zionist shit on my for you page for 3 days straight, just entirely racism and anti-arab conspiracism without a single centrist or left leaning take.

Definitely a major public opinion campaign push on this.

And people still attempt to "reclaim" totalitarianism as an idea for the left to use lmao.

Extremely funny that Man with a Movie Camera has orchestral score snobs among it's fans when the film actually just is edited like a modern amateur(positive) music video.

Like if you go between the different uploads on youtube with the "cinematic orchestra" score(modern) and a trad score, the trad score comment section is full of people being smug as hell.

People on twitter are acting pleasantly surprised that the Silent Hill 2 remake is getting good reviews as if its not blatant that every single creative decision made for the game is in service of review scores lol.

The most attempted crowd pleaser game design I've seen in a while.

What deadlines lol, every year they don't deliver anything important.

 

Low budget TV movie that I found recommended on Twitter in the wake of the news breaking on James Earl Jones.

What starts out like what you'd expect of a movie adapting a real alleged abduction actually ends up unfolding into an extremely effective relationship drama as the alleged abduction puts a strain on their mental health and already tenuous social standing as not just a mixed couple but also one featuring a divorced black man, all in the early 60s.

Genuinely top class romantic acting from both James Earl Jones and his co-star Estelle Parsons, with James also turning out some really great acting of panic and terror during the hypnosis scenes.
