Thinking about this guy who I had never met before I helped pack up his U-haul to move on Halloween one year because his wife died from an illness and he couldn’t bear to live in that house anymore because everything brought back memories of her and he loves her so much… ugh I hope he’s okay :(

They had no reason to make henry look so pathetic like a wet sopping soggy cat in the rain they didn’t need to make him look so kissable

I'm not going to go into my haul from Game Con Canada yet, bc I'm tired and don't wanna match up business cards to things I bought right now, but one thing I did get was a copy of Parisite Eve!
I've watched playthroughs of all 3 of the games, and I'm beyond excited to own a copy to play

I spent somewhere over 4 hours straight last night watching video essays on the Silent Hill series (as someone who has little to no knowledge of the series besides spooky fog + big ol’ pyramid mans) and boy am I relaxed and normal as hell, I am not even being sarcastic just lying there learning about torturous manmade horrors beyond comprehension got me feeling all snuggly af still the next morning

Silent Hill enjoyers may hate me on this one but I'm not a fan of what I've seen Bloober doing on that there remake so I'm gonna be a hater to myself under the cut.
It looks like Homecoming/Resident Evil....bruh it's got qte's??? Will James also do sick-ass knife combos? WILL I GET GRADED RANKS AT THE END OF EACH MISSION?? WILL A VISIBLE TIMER POP UP DURING THE FIRST PYRAMID FIGHT???
I don't want to seem snobbish but with a classic like sh2 you can't just change the genre. Its supposed to be a psychological horror. Not Objective: Survive action-horror. Resident Evil is about zombies so ofc its gonna be full of action. But Silent Hill 2 is mainly first-and-foremost about the horrors of self-reflection and introspection with just a bit of cult shit thrown in at times for backstory on how the town does wacky shit to folks sometimes.
And that also troubles me; Bloober isn't good at handling the subjects that Silent Hill plays on. I'm not saying it has to be a 100% pure remake with zero changes at all, but if they fuck up the original tones of the characters like Angela or anything involving Mary I am pretty sure I will Kill.
I wanted to be hopeful for that new free to play Silent Hill too, but I feel like it's pretty similar to every other scary game out there nowadays. Everything was just so...obvious and not handled well at all. Like covering things with blood or the fuckin...."Silent Hill Phenomenon" they dropped in there and the whole MeNtAl IllneSs ScAwY thing. It focuses on the adrenaline you get from being suddenly scared (loud noise, sudden thing happening, getting chased) instead of the adrenaline you get from being unsettled (creepy atmosphere, subtle dialogue and storytelling that hint to darker implications), which lessens the impact because only the latter fear lingers with you as you play. The former just keeps you anticipating a qte or jumpscare. The dialogue is also cheesy and generic, like compared to sh3 Heather, who sounded like a real teenager and not one pulled off a Netflix original. While the franchise can be silly at times, like the infamous pizza line that pops up in Sh2, you gotta keep janky stuff like that to a minimum or else it ruins the vibe. Just...good lord man if you make your whole schtick about suicide then you should at least try to handle it decently and not give me a playable anti-bullying PSA written by an AI trained on Marvel sitcoms. I DON'T CARE IF ITS YURI, FIND BETTER YURI
