"Do you think it was having it lead by a widely hated cardboard actor who's also a sexpest cult leader who's every project in the last decade being record breaking bombs, and sprinkle it with cameos from some nepotistic rich shitheads?"

I'll double down on this line. People SHOULD play the originals as well.

The only REmake I think is outright superior is RE1, the oldest one. The rest are such fundamentally different experiences that I don't really like comparing them, I'd rather let each stand on their own merits.

“Capcom were like, ‘we have all of those remakes. It’s already the superior experience to those games’”

The unfortunate reality for how some Development Studios treat their remakes. They cannot fathom why someone would want to play an "inferior" version of their game. Fuck, idk, maybe we want to?

Capcom was initially against GOG's request to add the original versions of Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 to its store, and "took a lot of convincing" to agree to it, according to a GOG executive.

TL;DR, I haven't gotten paid because it's a new job, and I don't know when I will get paid, because of the paperwork, and then all of this also happens to fall on me at that point.

2025 is gonna go down as the year where I just did not catch a break huh

Casey S-G @legocyd.bsky.social · 10h

Having a fucking week this week.

New job, going great, except paperwork is either not being sent to me or is taking ages to be processed.

Car suddenly decided it *needed* that oil change I was supposed to get.

Someone tried to hack into my discord account while I was in the mechanic waiting room.

They don't think these games have any value but are more than happy to sell you the PS1 models and music as DLC.

(WITH FRAYING PATIENCE) No thanks, I don’t want to see Marilyn Monroe in Game Of Thrones, because it ended several years ago and she died a very long time before that.

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
