I really love forum posts where people look for help but end up figuring out the problem and instead of saying how they figured it out they just type "never mind I figured it out!" and promptly fuck off - never visiting the forum ever again.

Dead Space has all the tropes you'd expect from a survival horror game though... Resource management, manual save points, puzzles, backtracking etc. It's much easier to compare it to Resident Evil than Doom... Especially modern doom which is nothing like Dead Space other than sci fi and combat.

On normal it's pretty lax with the resource stuff, at least for me on PC using mouse+keyboard. On hard it was much more noticeable where I'd be conserving ammo and using stasis to avoid some fights if I was low on health. It's survival horror imo and it works well, it creates tension.

but Dead Space is full of survival horror aspects. Obviously the horror part but also the resource management, manual save locations, backtracking etc

making it so enemies do less of just "run at player then attack".

"but spotify makes it easy to find new music"

Ask your friends, co-workers, bluesky/discord mutuals for recs.

Yes, it's more effort than just whacking on a radio playlist on spotify but the experience is better.

07.10.2025 16:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 20    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 3

yet another reason to cancel your spotify. Go back to supporting artists by buying their albums. In time you'll have a library of music which is yours to keep.

Also brings back the ceremony around buying a new album and listening to it through, checking out the artwork etc. etc. etc.

I mean in Resident Evil games you're rewarded for killing things as well, clear a corridor of zombies and the corridor is now easier to traverse when backtracking.

DS is definitely survival horror. Albeit more action focused than other games in the genre.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

yeah the mind fills in the blanks, I think it's why people really enjoy PSX/lo-fi horror. The first Silent Hill is much more creepy to me than the second because my mind is left to make the details on top of the low res image.

the actual res/palette I'm using. 340x340 (odd I know, 256 was just lacking a bit of detail) and 64 colours.
