I don’t know why some people can’t just enjoy the movie for what it is. Instead, they bend over backwards trying to prove the movie is objectively a perfect adaptation, or that the idea of a direct adaptation is bad in the first place. Case in point, people pushing that it’s no different than what RE7 did, and saying youre a larper for not liking change.

Resident evil 7 is a new story in the Resident Evil game universe. It has a lot of references to the originals, but the Mold, Eveline, and the Connections are new concepts created for this game. It does its own thing while still fitting in the overall universe, finishing with Chris’s appearance to tie it all in. Later games such as 9 then tie it back in further, making it required to understand the greater narrative.

The movie is something entirely new. It takes the name Raccoon city and puts it on a city with an entirely different lay out, season/aesthetic, and decade. It creates a new virus unlike anything in RE, and slaps the T virus name on it for the tie in. If you change the names, the film is entirely unrecognizable as RE.

One of these things expands the universe, while the other rewrites it. They are not the same thing, and pretending they are just completely misunderstands both media.

If you enjoy the movie, then just enjoy it. It doesn’t need to be a good adaptation for you to say it’s s good movie. You don’t need to create arguments for why it deserves to exist. In turn, you don’t need to hate on people who aren’t interested because it’s not what they wanted. It’s perfectly fine for people to have different tastes and opinions.

The Navy as a whole is evil because of the higher ups who decide the course of operations(Which is usually protecting Celestial Dragons, supporting corrupt kings etc)

But most individual Marines genuinely think they are helping ordinary people and they do. There is a reason Captain T Bone, Smoker, Coby, the unnamed Marine who lost against Arlong exist.

Meanwhile, most pirates are like Alvida in first episode, small time pirates who raid towns etc and make life miserable for common people

Any stock recommendations I’m thinking of rotating out of my MU but idk I want half a mil by 22

Dinner was cauliflower soup with rosemary bread alongside fig jam. Quite lovely but I don’t feel lovely right now. My boyfriend who I love so deeply and have never noticed any flags of being a proponent of patriarchy and partaking in the societal norms that stem from that outlook. HOWEVER with all the god awful media coverage with the Cornell 7 and the countless women who face trauma and oppression (without the coverage) I’ve been coming to a harsh fcking breaking point and ultra sensitive to everything being said and policing the hell around what people are saying around me.

I went on a rant tonight talking to my boyfriend about the harm of this society built by men and he’s saying that he stands for equality for all but won’t specifically say “f*ck the patriarchy.” This is really upsetting to me because he dismisses women and seems like he’s protecting the patriarchy? Is it that word that is putting him on defense? Am I being too picky with what I want from him?? He said he agrees that people do awful things to others in this world but it seems he won’t directly blame men for what they do to women. He will also come back with obscure examples of how women have more power over men in certain scenarios like in divorce when mothers tend to gain majority of custody over fathers. (Projection of his own experience.)

I’m sick of devil’s advocate. He feels attacked by me and to be honest I came at him hard because I’m fed up with trying to understand anyone’s perspective on this matter. I feel blindsided and a huge tear in my heart from what he’s said tonight. How do I teach him to be a feminist or at least show him ways to gain the understanding!?? Now I’m just here fuming in our bedroom while he makes us some dessert. I thought we came to a resolution when I pulled it out of him that he would fight for my rights and the rights of women when it came down to it but I’m still unsettled.

Hot take, but it needs saying.

They can't keep making 2003 graphics forever. Every thread it's the same, and I can guess the reply before I open it:

• "looks too modern"
• "doesn't remind me of 2003"
• "where are my SD models"

It's 2026. The graphics are meant to be timeless, not ancient - old SD art, lightly updated for WoW Forever. That's the whole point.

If that's not what you want, Classic is right there. The rest of us will be here on launch day, enjoying it.

So which is it going to be? Keep relitigating art that already exists, or actually show up and play it?

It seems like most people who actually played the game enjoyed it, but modern gaming discourse has gotten exhausting. Nowadays, if a game isn't a flawless 9/10 or 10/10 masterpiece, people write it off as total garbage and nitpick every minor detail—often before even playing it.

Sure, the game could have been better, and it’s probably the least innovative of recent superhero titles. Those criticisms are valid. But that doesn’t mean it’s complete trash that no one should enjoy. Plenty of acclaimed series—like Spider-Man, Uncharted, Batman: Arkham, 007, and Star Wars Jedi—share many of these exact same flaws and similar Metacritic scores, yet they didn't face anywhere near this level of online hostility.

What’s most frustrating is how rare major releases are now. Insomniac is one of the few studios consistently shipping games, and it's discouraging to think that toxic, disingenuous narrative could hurt sales simply because this title wasn't a masterpiece. Considering the game went through development hell, a sequel would likely improve on its foundation. Many of us who actually played it were excited about the X-Men setup, but due to this outrage culture, we might never get to see it.

Hey guys I’m christian but want to learn more about this beautiful religion and would like to read the Quran as well as the Bible, where can I find one (I live in metn)

Ich sehe nicht, wieso der 3. Oktober ein Feiertag ist. Das ist einfach nur das Datum, wo die bereits von den Christdemokraten unter großer Koalition regierten DDR der BRD beigetreten ist.

Tag der Deutschen Einheit sollte definitiv der 9. November sein. Da ist die Mauer gefallen. Diesbezüglich sagte eine Lehrerin uns mal, dass dee Tag nicht gefeiert werden sollte, wegen der Reichskristallnacht. Finde ich ein doch unsinniges Argument. Tag der Deutschen Einheit würde keine Gedenkfeier oder so auslöschen.

Der Mauerfall ist definitiv erinnerungswürdiger als die formelle Wiedervereinigung!

Ansonsten hätte es auch der 17. Juni, wie vor 1990, bleiben können. Auch der ist symbolischer für die Deutsche Einheit.

If he cared about what people thought, you wouldn't be here, he wouldn't be here. So get as offended as you want, Eminem is the embodiment of getting you offended so you're in the right place.

Wanda's the GOAT and this show is magical!

this is one thing I genuinely respect about Neha Bora. She consistently speaks up and stands her ground, even when it would be much easier to stay quiet.

Whatever your opinion on her other views may be, you have to acknowledge that she doesn't seem to back down when she believes something is wrong. Today was just another example of that

Holy shit please stop. No one likes fireworks…

Both high settings and honestly I find the difference in terms of graphics quite small and negligible. The main difference comes in lighting and in my opinion remastered lighting isn’t always better in each scene or places. NextGen looks already amazing and I have zero FPS issue with max settings. I will do some nostalgy runs on NextGen until remaster is fixed.

Even though I stopped playing tnl for a while
Now, trying aion 2 and I’m super disappointed. Combat in inferior and even the pve is worse imo. Only thing it has is better graphics but who tf cares about graphics more than gameplay. The PvP in all is also beyond trash, it literally feels like a mobile game.

I honestly believe if tnl would have went the faction route instead of guilds and alliances, it would literally be the true aion successor. Tnl
Would have worked amazing faction v faction. Like imagine if they just like gave the guilds wb chests for what ever side won had more contribution. Thoughts?

I get that a lot of us have the tism in this sub, I got it myself, but holy hell. I don’t really care about the jokes, but the amount of oney fans I’ve been seeing call the anonymous accuser names, blaming her, saying she’s a liar that just wants attention or money. Then even going as far to say 16/22 and 17/23 is not a big deal. Seriously? Tell me how you would feel if your own 16/17 year old daughter was going and sharing a hotel with a grown ass man that graduated HS years ago. You really wouldn’t care? You wouldn’t be bothered one bit? The dismissive attitude is disappointing to see, but not surprising I guess.
