- Comment on Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil? 1 day ago:
You know what, Resident Evil is one of my favourite franchises, and I have to just say that the plot is bullshit. That’s not to say that it’s irredeemable, I happen to love trash, but I don’t think you’ll be missing any key beats by jumping in at any point
I know you played 1-4, but if I were to pick a modern entry for someone, I’d say starting with REmake 2. Resident Evil 2 is iconic, lays most of the groundwork for the interconnected plot such as it is, and the remaster has quality of life that you’d be missing from the original.
Unless you’re really into old games, I’d give 1 a miss. Technically there’s a remaster too, but tank controls are a hard sell.
If you are into old games, Flesh Made Fear scratches that vintage PS1 survival horror itch and just came out this year. Phenomenal indie game

In this case, you could upload it to YouTube where it will be taken down and seen by a whole no people

My pet theory: Radicalize the disenfranchised to incite domestic terrorism and further OpenAI’s political goals.

Bad person, probably not
I'd call this behaviour to avoid though. Most people don't like being lied to or ghosted
Sometimes you can't really avoid it, like if safety is a concern. But if you lie and ghost because feelings are messy then it causes other people to have messy feelings

I think in Cube it was razor wire, but they may have upgraded to lasers for Cube 2
- Comment on Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System 3 months ago:
Credit where it's due, around the time Dying Light 1 came out, Roger Craig Smith was lending his voice to Chris Redfield, one of the more iconic zombie guys from Resident Evil.
My favorite Redfield moment was when, without a shred of irony, he talks smack about the villain acting like a comic book villain. Then in the same breath, he punches a six-ton boulder into submission.
Dying Light also really kinda shook up the zombie slaying dynamic with parkour. It seems like a fairly minor thing now, but that freedom of movement was a pretty big deal at the time, even if it was pretty janky.
Narratively, I agree that Crane isn't a very strong character. He's a dime-a-dozen government goon turned idealist. I don't even remember how the story ends, or even most of the major beats except for a couple of major characters.
But at the time, to kick zombie butt while scooting around the rooftops and listening to Chris Redfield quip one-liners: those were special times even if it was a decade ago. They're probably trying to recapture that magic, but I don't know. It was lightning in a bottle and you can't always get that back

Go into a garden and dig up a flower. The next person who comes by won't know what flower is missing, but they will still know that something is gone

I'd be scared too if I had to come back to work after being a victim in a hit-and-run
