We ladies must look desirable; the fashion styles changed to accentuate my hips and my tits, my baby making parts.

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

I just realised Finnish doesn’t have an onomatopoetic frog sound 🤔

This implies the CIA disinfo was some kind of oopsie

It was for COD, wasn’t it? The site has an anti-adblock

If you want to get into Resident Evil and want to start from the beginning, the HD remaster of the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil 1 is on Steam.

It is often considered one of the greatest remakes of all time and widely thought to surpass the original while preserving everything that made the original great (with the exception of the cheesy FMV cutscenes and dialogue. The remade dialogue is still cheesy but not nearly as funny) unlike the 2/3 remakes that change the games completely.

Technically Resident Evil 0, the HD remaster of which is also on Steam, is the actual beginning of the story in terms of the series’ timeline but I would not recommend it to a newcomer. Consider it advanced studies to come back to later.

The only main games which do not have modern PC ports on current storefronts are 2, 3 and Code Veronica and there are multiple ways to experience each on PC.

I grew up with the PS1 so I tend to just emulate those versions for 2 and 3, which is honestly rather painless with Duckstation, but there are plenty of other ways. You could also emulate the Dreamcast or Gamecube ports of said games, and I believe the GC version has a mod for HD backgrounds.There’s also the Classic Rebirth Patches for the Japanese-only PC ports which can be found floating about online.

As for CV, you have the original Dreamcast version and the Code Veronica X port for PS2 and the later HD ports of CVX for Xbox 360 and PS3. All four can be emulated, though IIRC there’s issues with emulating the 360 version. Also some people are not fans of the changed lighting in the HD remake in general. I just emulate the PS2 version with PCSX2

Are these compatible with the randomisers, Classic Rebirth Patches and other mods people have made over the years or do you still need to track down the old Japanese SourceNext ports?

Edit: Just checked and these are just the old US PC versions made to work with modern systems. That means no mods and that for the best experience you’ll still need to pirate the Japanese PC ports

I saw a glow-worm some years ago. I thought someone had dropped a glowstick until I took a closer look

Definitely not too common in Finland

You only had to do that once? In the initial phase I just couldn’t get rid of the pop-ups for longer than one session

What was the last time?

They also prohibited a demonstration by the progressive Jewish group Jüdische Stimme.

Explaining their reasoning on the Jüdische Stimme protest, the police told The New York Times that the demonstration was “explicitly open to participants of Palestinian origin,” and said organizers coordinated with protesters whose demonstrations were banned over concerns about antisemitic incitement.

Are these newer movies really that much worse in general or has the audience just finally gotten tired of the entire MCU? I saw every single one up until the second Spider-Man flick and many of them were just sort of lame. Movies like Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Black Panther and the Ant-Man movies which all released in the MCU’s most dominant period leading up to and in between the Thanos movies were pretty bad and they still made a lot of bank.

I watched all those mid movies because I was invested in the shared continuity and wanted to see the different branches of the universe collide with each other. When they finally did, that investment just kind of dissipated, but I think the final nail in the coffin for me was when they announced the Disney+ Marvel shows at which point it just became too much of a time commitment to keep up with.

Let’s not forget the MO Discs from Resident Evil and MGS

I’m assuming this will escalate to some insanely locked down DRM scheme. Guess I’ll enjoy uBlock, ReVanced and yt-dlp while I can

It really annoys me when I see people on bicycles or e-scooters just browsing Twitter or whatever on their phones. At least people looking at their phones in cars have a steel box around them to protect them from their stupidity

I keep expecting blurry images of protestors or human shaped blobs huddling behind cover with some kind of crosshair over them

PLEASE CLICK ON ALL SQUARES WITH ENEMY COMBATANTS TARGETS PERSONS

American Christians think McDonald’s brings back the McRib because they pray for it on Facebook and that half the things on TV are messages from God and the other half from Satan

Cringe

I had it pretty bad for several days, having to purge the cache several times but I saw no pop-ups yesterday or the day before that. Hoping that’s still the case today

In Europe it’s the Autumn of Capitalism

Oh, definitely but it’s shockingly bad when using YT without logging in
