"Do you wanna know the definition of insanity?" - Me when I have to pass 'Go' without collecting $200

Some sort of DreadXP deal I see 🫣 Would it be presumptuous to say you might've worked on their upcoming title, The Lacerator?

Which games??? 👀

I knew about Sniper Killer and Heartworm, and I'm def going to check out Killview, but what're the other 3?

Marble Hornets is the OG if you're down for some Slenderman.

Mandela Catalogue was essentially the "Paranormal Activity" to Marbke Hornets' "Blair Witch"

Vita Carnis has some really intriguing lore behind it.

If you like mascot horror, Walter Files is really good too!

Such a weird film, definitely sticks with you!

And yet, without fail, every film I've gone to in the last 5 years has had at least one instance of me having to tell someone to turn off their phone...

I just don't get it... They paid the same outrageous price for popcorn and tickets as I, so why waste the time scrolling TikTok instead??

A friendly reminder to play Heartworm during the Spookiest Month of the year!

Absolutely love the world-building put into this title, I cannot wait to see what else @adinolfi.bsky.social has working up in the pipeline!

I set my TV settings to B&W before I put it on... Never actually seen it in colour before!

It's more of a Meta sequel if anything... Recognizes the original movie as such and has someone recreating It's events. It's The Town That Dreaded Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

Honestly, this revival of Silent Hill has been pretty great so far!

We're open to new ideas if you have them.

It was def seen totally different to the way it is now though - Back then, it was purely extra content that wasn't ever necessary for the main game to feel complete. It was just extra content.

Nowadays, it's def chopping up a base game into multiple pieces to sell for more money.

Not saying that this post isn't almost entirely true... But the "No Deluxe" and, to an extent, "No DLC" aren't exactly correct.

Later releases of a game and even cable channels or unique card scanners to obtain extra levels for a game were definitely reminiscent of these modern concepts.

Finally managed to get Trespasser #JurassicPark running after a few botched attempts to patch it... This game deserves a #GOG release!

On a tangent to this insanity - There's an option to limit targeted advertising on my TV, apparently....

It wasn't exactly an easier time perse, but I miss the early 2000s

It's insane to me that in 2025, I need to factory reset a TV to get it to run smoothly again due to years of bloatware updates slowing it down. Bought our 50" LG in 2020 and it ran like an iPhone 3 before the reset.

It's def not by design to make you buy a new TV btw, def not...

You ever watched Prometheus, or seen a Goblin Shark?
