01.03.2026 23:34 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Oh, same, but I might feel differently if Biohazard had just been what it was called by my peers
01.03.2026 23:31 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Or probably βThe House of the Deadβ, depending on when Sega claimed that

Occasionally think about how βResident Evilβ is a nonsense, babelfish esque title, only really fits two of the games, and basically only exists because of copyright concerns over the actual name (Biohazard, for those unfamiliar)
And yet, itβs perfect

01.03.2026 22:57 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0There are a lot of British foreign policy positions that make me wish key figures had a toddler accompanying them at all times asking βbut why?β to every explanation

01.03.2026 22:47 β π 51 π 13 π¬ 5 π 0Yeah and, either way, confirming the Iranian perception that weβre backing the US is just a self-fulfilling prophecy (of course, Iran lobbing missiles at countries it perceives to be backing the US is also a self-fulfilling prophecy)

01.03.2026 22:09 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I believe Aidanβs point is that itβs incorrect to see them as attacks against us

01.03.2026 21:57 β π 40 π 4 π¬ 5 π 0Nah, your assessment is correct and itβs not hardware related (well, maybe ray-tracing makes a difference, but itβs drab on PS5/XSX). It makes sense that itβs a bit brown because of the setting, but it adds to feeling like youβre playing a completely different game to the first half
01.03.2026 21:39 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Not to mention that this requires us to just take on trust that the Americans were aiming for this missile site, not that government building, when they launch a strike from say RAF Lakenheath.
