this is the part that keeps horrifying me. we’re not tracking it anymore so people genuinely do not know how dangerous it is. infectious disease does not care! it will take whatever life it feels like, and we’re the ones left to grieve them alone. i’m so fucking sorry this has happened

The Secretive Company Filling Video Game Sites With Gambling And AI After being sold to Clickout Media, sites like GamesHub, The Escapist, Videogamer, and others have added gambling and casino stories and AI content

Grateful to @aftermath.site for giving me the time of day amid the Ongoing Unpleasantness.

Read the article. It's important.

MOTORCYCLE JOUSTING WITH GUNS??????

yes i absolutely judge the irresponsible and wrong ways leon rides motorcycles,,,,even if he is a dreamboat doing impossible gymnastics on them,,,,it is bad and you will die do not be this beautiful, stupid fictional man

oh there is a HARDCORE final destination moment in RE9 that got me AND Joe literally screaming and rolling around. It got us fucking GOOD

we lived on the 12th floor and uh, thank god modern elevators have instant brakes

i must respectfully disagree as the specific object targeted by every scare tactic in this godforsaken video game

(my dad and i fell a floor and a half once and it was as horrifying as you think the experience is)

this is a very bad game to play for bitches who have fallen in an elevator (it’s me, i’m bitches)

leon i feel like you’re just here for the zip line kennedy

wow i hate going underground in this game why is everything horrible in this world underground please stop making things underground

This thread is the best thing on the internet right now.

personally i think we need more horror games inspired by the ozarks. millions of caves, really spread out acreage, spooky lakes, sinkholes fucking everywhere, gorgeous views and natural landforms, woods that if you go in you will not come out of - you know, something for everyone

so raccoon city’s most geographically similar real-world place is near my hometown - specifically springfield, missouri - and it’s so funny going through this section of the game and being like “yeah, actually, that is the architecture of downtown springfield”
