  • So I torrented and promptly hatewatched "Return to Silent Hill" last night and it's a strong contender for worst horror film I've ever watched.

    No sense of building tension, pointless redesigns of monsters that are complete downgrades of the originals, nothing actually scary, the least competent jumpscare I have ever seen, and super focused with tying James and Mary's story to the greater lore of the Order to the expense of everything else.

    The film is also super obsessed with making Mary's death not James' fault for some reason, and has this underlying misogynist fog about it.

    The fucking ending where James goes back in time and prevents Mary from getting ill was the perfect capstone to the film, no notes.

  • Zeroing in on something incredibly petty because otherwise I swear this slop will do actual, physical damage to me.

    So are the "goyim task force" a task force comprised of goyim or a task force to deal with goyim? Cause, like, if it's the former, why are they wearing Kippahs? And if it's the latter, why are they pointing their guns at the man with all the money instead of the neonazi wojack pointing vaguely in their direction?

  • The lower text is overlaid on a screenshot from the Star Wars series where Obi Wan addresses a room filled with rebel pilots to explain the one fatal flaw in the defences of the Death Star.

    Um actually that's not Obi Wan Kenobi, he's already turned into clothes by this point in the film.

  • Rogue Point.

    It's a pretty fun tactical shooter but doesn't have a particularly big player base yet so I've not had much luck playing with randos.

  • The supercomputer from "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".

  • The only way it could've been more British an action is if Suella Braverman'd been smothering a fox with a copy of the Magna Carta printed on a union flag while she'd announced it.

    Liberals can only see bad policy in terms of designated foreign enemies.

  • Equally Cursed and Blessed by Catatonia.

  • Maybe it was rule 1 from the instance code of conduct, not slop's specific rules:

    Usernames or posts/comments containing extreme transphobia, homophobia, sexism, racism, ableism, zionism, anti-veganism, or trivializing and downplaying COVID. This includes satire or parody accounts that ironically use bigotry rather than "punch up" to power.

  • St Dwynwen, patron saint of love (Welsh) her day is a popular time to exchange love spoons.

  • A Hwacha? Iirc those were Korean not Chinese.

  • Anyway, I guess people just wanted an evil option.

    I get running an evil play through of an RPG (my favourite pathfinder WOTR mythic is lich because of how well done a villainous route it is).

    But imho, BoS and Institute already exist as evil options, so I think there's something a bit deeper with people going through so much effort to bring the most explicitly fascist group in Fallout (although its a close race with the Legion) as a player faction.

  • What I mean is there's a worrying amount of Enclave fanboys in the larger Fallout fandoms. Like, one of the more popular quest mods for Fallout 4 is one that allows you to rebuild the Enclave.

    And the vision of the Enclave they've glommed onto is specifically the Fallout 3 portrayal.

  • Completely uncontroversial opinion: game is good.

  • It is really telling that the Fallout 3 interpretation of the Enclave is so popular amongst fans that they keep clamouring for more of it.

  • Silent Hill 3, centres a lot of its horror on misogynistic treatment of women and the good ending involves the protagonist, Heather, using a pill to abort the monster that a religious order are forcing her to carry.

    Idk if I would confidently call it a feminist game per se, but the kindsa people compiling "conservative core" lists would if they actually interacted with its themes.

  • centrism aside it was wild to a see Flying Spaghetti Monster mention in 2026 of all years. Like a marine biologist observing the Coelacanth for the first time only its mating cry is "the narwhal bacons at midnight."

  • Ah, so that's what pigs mean when they threaten to throw the book at you.

  • IIRC the man that runs the hospital in the upper layer of Taris in KOTOR is called a doctor by his assistant.

    When a post gets deleted does that make it a post-post?
