i hear sh2 remake is good? i know nothin about silent hill. got my sister into RE and just beat dmc1 with her watching, hoping she starts to like 3 and 4 when i get there. but yeah, vido games! love em

ive been playing these games because i found the ps2 which i thought had died and i also frequent thrift stores and have been able to find these games cheap (not the silent hill games obviously collectors have scalped those) but my friends got me dmc1 because it "seemed like something id like" yeag. it cracks me up especially the devilman references. but it seems like these games are also just popular again with the general person?

i havent played sh2 remake myself yet im busyyy and also tired of people rushing me to play things instead of doing it in my own pace. but ive been following along the release and it has some good things to it like environment details and even more endings. people have always been praising the little things in the writing and art direction which arent in the remake and they havent been replaced with better content so its lesser in this way. absolutely no way replace plauing the original with this one lol

i like games that are like interactive theatre with a great soundtrack and silent hill is often this. there is a lot of silent hill content, from installments that prove games are art to b movies that facilitate stupid cliches and it also encompasses other franchises like forbidden siren which i have played a bit of and team psyskallars fangames which are better silent hill games than some silent hill games and also hit closer for me because they take place in urban scandinavia. You know me its all been indie game supremacy because i didnt want triple A bullshit but ive made friends that have introduced me to the value of Big Gaming because its a part of them and because they are important to our culture and they are creative and its fun and there IS a lot of bullshit done in the name of marketability like blatant sexism and racism which i complained about the other day completely devalues the new dragon age for me because once i start thinking the authors are idiots with no other values than representing a power fantasy it really just feels like a waste of time to visit their work. Not that i dont want a power fantasy but i need it to address what matters to me especially the unattrative parts of life. Silent hill 2 is exactly this its what marias character is all about. i set my standard for video games when i first heard about silent hill 2 and similar games. the thing to like about it is that it is just so honest. its not really about people being horrible and ugly it makes a point about people being multifaceted and realistic and it is a sufferfest sure but its to drive a point home about ultimately love and gotta like media that examines the concept of love. they never try to censor themselves which i like because adults dont need content censored for themes they have specifically sought out depictions of. because it doesnt dumb down or glamourize it is entirely different from other commercial experiences which makes it weird that it is a popular franchise and video game with things like remakes coming out because you just cant treat it like any other consumable product its not anonymous or universal like that which lends itself to waifus and merch. but at the same time its also a video game made for an audience of adult gamers so it was made to create a fanbase around it. the best thing about being a silent hill fan is the gatekeeping and elitism it has resulted in and im serious because they arent games for everyone and it shouldnt be treated like they are. everything in moderation and all and the overexposure and bad retellings completely undermining or missing the sophisticated point is really prevalent. mr ito said it best https://x.com/adsk4/status/1495530138922283008 but seriously i have to even ask silent hill cosplayers and fanartists if theyve even played/seen the games and they often say no. a bit alienating. i think its fair to say the reputation overshadows the actual content for better or worse. it gets more exposure with the remake delightfully making history repeat itself like dis

i think you would like silent hill games for their thoughtfulness i rec emulating 1-3 maybe 4 and maybe give siren a try even though its difficult. it is pure japanese horror and the face model scans are very haunting the plot is also more resident evil-scoped. but yeah very big franchises, tap out when you get tired.

personally i think any remake should be played as a sequel although triple a games are usually finished products when they come out so they dont really need more content? but people talk about remakes all the time so playing through an old game series like dmc made me think about it. DMC4 has a lot of things to like that were never realized or only realized in pachinko games because it wanted to be this big final fantasy hero adventure but had rushed development. playing it feels very stiff and vague and it should have been much longer story wise but it was padded out with nonsense gameplay. it "needs" a remake or prequel for sure! DMC2 was also never realized and i personally like its tone more and i think it could be remade to be the sequel that DMC never got.

DMC truly feels like the designers just did whatever they think is fun and throw it at you and thats good because media should be challenging and the gameplay and puzzles definitely felt like the game was treating you like an adult. I was really surprised when DMC turned out to be important to me. Because it wasnt really where id look for a game experience that is intelligent or subversive. But i was surprised when its an emotionally smart game. ill be honest what makes DMC work is the camp, which isnt necessarily profitable or what a straight audience of noncreatives want so i think thats why it kinda has been worked out since DMC1. but dmc1 güde. i dont remember the last time i noticed i was smiling while playing a game my genuine and& honest reaction

i thought dmc was final fantasy for the longest time which is why i got pleasantly surprised by the dmc1 cutscenes you know the ones when they happened ahahah. that game is just entertaining i hope you and your sister had fun with it too! i have played all of the dmc games now except for the reboot which i am very interested in playing because even though its a bad dmc game from what i have seen it looks like an excellent devilman game it seems their train of thought was very similar to crybaby. dmc4 was almost my least favorite moreso than 2 but i can imagine DMC4 is very good if youre a catholic teenager. dmc5 is worth playing the other games for, its like the details and continuity keep hitting you and V is goth incarnate he is the character ever. his official manga is that good and it has no official english release at all. fucked. the dmc1 anime is fun its very 2008 anime. The franchise overall feels like it keeps giving.but it also feels like its thinning out by relying too much on happy reactions in the reader like jokes. it really hurts vergils character the most i think.

i was so excited to play 4 more games like dmc1 but they are very different which also has its merits i guess but i miss the darker stuff and difficulty. dmc5 gives you gold orbs just for starting the game... the novels can def be skipped for fanwritten lore dumps

its pretty common for people to say that dmc is for kids but i think its exactly for people that have seen all the tropes genres and series it draws on before and want a fresh spin on them that doesnt take itself seriously when it comes to plot but does handle emotional maturity carefully. its different from resident evil in this way right? when they arent implementing internet discourse, then franchises are increasingly asking us to take their stories seriously marvel is prime example of this and i just cant bring myself to gaf so i lov dmc way more than resident evil. i also got into that franchise by chance because i won a copy of re8 village and some of my ps4 games were stolen so i needed things to play. im peeved by the shallowness of the series but they do haunted house experiences SO well. i get a bit scareds. RE engine is also insaaane they really spend so much money on rendering every single wrinkle on dantes ass in leather and dynamic wetness its excellent to play with

the thing about these games is that you can really help getting an attachment to them after playing because they are really effective. i understand the dedicated audiences. I hope you take your time with them and its so awesome to bring somebody else along for the ride. it can be challenging to visit old media that has its installments in perspective to eachother because old players view them retrospectively. but there is also some cool historical fan content to find. and its one of those beloved franchises once you know it you just remember seeing it everywhere. i think my friend had pictures of trish and nevan on her computer when we were like 9 and had no idea what it was from but our favorite activity was of course Google Images

so ya i wrote much but that was all i wanted to say. youll have to list the replies in numbered order or something if you want to add anything XD

clown lady 4 u V have a wonderful day

Nothing against op, but I'm sorry, the concept that if one of the members of a canon ship dies in an au the other one will never truly be happy is so lame. Like. As much as the concept of soulmates is beautiful it's just plain unrealistic and exists for the sufferfest sake's more than anything else. Literally just. Don't know how to create easy drama for your character when realistically they shouldn't have any problems? Bam! Kill their soulmate. Booooriing.

Saturday morning at 10am I was stomping around like "the weekend is half over and I haven't gotten anything done yet!" Clearly I was feeling more than a little stressed about maximizing the weekend, lol.

Saturday morning I baked a loaf that I'd mixed up Thursday night and shaped and popped in the fridge Friday morning. It's got fish peppers from my garden and cheddar cheese in it - a nod to a jalapeno cheddar loaf, but I didn't have jalapenos. The fish peppers are SPICY. Like, I cut a slice of bread and my hands tingle and then I scrub them with soap and then if I rub my eyes it still burns them. Soooo, maybe not the best? If you've ever wanted to sweat and cough from eating spicy bread, I have succeeded in making the spicy loaf for you.

Saturday night I made marry me chicken gnocchi soup. I'd say it's medium. Good enough to happily eat the leftovers of, but probably not so tasty that I'll make it again. Well, I say that, but Ken has been saying, "Next time I think I'd (insert small change here)" so I think he actually really enjoyed it and might want it again. Anyway, it's gone well with a slice of toast on the side.

We had a big finances talk Saturday, too, since even over 2 years of marriage the only joint finances we have is a credit card I got where he's an authorized user so we can have a "joint" card. We're going to be moving to a fully (or at least mostly) joined approach (with some separate savings and investments) so we are getting ready for that.

Sunday morning I was in a MUCH better mood and we went for an "easy" gravel ride where I cried on the side of the road and nearly puked in someone's driveway because it was such a challenge. I haven't been riding much, and I haven't been challenging myself much either. Combine that with having covid a few weeks ago, and it was a shock to me how hard this ride was. Ken signed us up for a "mini" 25-mile gravel ride in about 6 weeks, so I have some work to do to make that an enjoyable experience and not a sufferfest. I've done a 40-mile gravel grinder ride a few times and loved it - it just makes me really sad to be in such worse shape now than I used to be. At least I genuinely enjoy cycling so the climb back to where I want to be is something I can have fun with.

After the ride we got bagel sandwiches in the town near the start/stop point. Mine had sausage, egg, cheese, and apple butter. I'm a sweet+savory gal so it was AMAZING. And then we showered and I napped on the living room floor for half a football game. ("Ken, can you put on the football channel so I can take a nap?") After dinner I made a blueberry muffin recipe that uses sourdough discard. I'd been meaning to make them for ages and finally had discard in the fridge and time to whip them up. It said to divide into 12 muffins... I am not sure that was the right move. But they taste great.

It's going to be a busy week. Plenty of work, a vet neurologist appointment for Theo, both individual and couple's therapy on Tuesday (I hate double-therapy days ugh), and trying to stay up late and push hard to finish editing this book so I can publish it before the end of the month. This weekend we want to bike again, and I want to do some training stationary bike workouts during the week, and we also both need to make sure we have clothes (or, more likely, get some clothes) for the two October weddings we have coming up. So I am Stressed but it'll be a good time if I can manage to enjoy myself through all the busy. And people add kids on top of this??? Howwww???

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

trying to figure out which one of my wips i should prioritize writing

we have eldritch ford (not too concerned with that one), more ford trio (even less concerned with that one), various random ideas from my list (which are mostly fun ideas and aus but there's too many), and then we have sufferfest 2.0 and sufferfest the original.

Those last two are somewhat similar (hence them being put together and having the same name), but not enough that i can write them into one singuar fic

both have lots of angst and horror, but sufferfest original arguably has more of that. both would probably be multichapter. sufferfest 2.0 would have both stan and ford perspectives. sufferfest original is either exclusively or primarily in stan's perspective

as you can see, im a bit more excited about those last two wips

Tecumseh Trail Challenge 50k race report

Tecumseh Trail Challenge 50k. Yellowwood State Forest, IN. Oct 19 2024. 7:41:09. Strava link.

the training block leading up to the race was less than ideal. maintenance miles at about 30/week, some dedicated hills, a few multi-hour runs. the real gains came with the mental training: ditching headphones and learning to listen to the wilderness, not getting frustrated with low effort low pace low fun long runs. everything over 21 miles was unexplored going into the race, and i wanted to maintain the curiosity that got me to that point. life got busy and the physical side was going to have to come down to base fitness from a couple years of consistent running.

flat cola rules and was the real mvp. everything was going stellar; perfect; unbridled by pain and suffering for the first 16 miles. pace was consistent, effort was similar (but creeping up as the miles ticked by), and importantly i was still eating.

not that anything was really expected beyond finishing at all, but it would have been really hard to anticipate how the race would affect me from mile 21 onward. the aid at mile 21 (dam 1) came into view, and instantly all appetite disappeared. i was still in good spirits, but food didn't sound good at all. i had a few chips and a slice of orange, refilled my water, and headed out for the next 5 mile section.

that's where the real sufferfest started. knee inflammation made uphill running slow and the climbing hr made it less economical than the nearly-as-slow hike. downhills were still happening but getting worse. "oh well, we're getting by, i signed up for this and knew some parts would be rough."

dam 2 at mile 26. i came in completely blown up, filled up my water, had a quarter piece of pbj and took off without a word. the marathon mark came and went with a sigh as i started jogging off towards a creek crossing and the last 5 miles.

this section was mostly a trial of power hiking, or death marching, or stubbornly aching towards the finish. mixed with moments of brilliant inspiration and shaky running. the full scope of this endeavor came into view as i retreated further into my own head. a modest 250 foot high / 0.1 mile long climb marked mile 28. i mutter "fuck" and keep my cadence without a second thought.

this was the breakthrough moment. my "why" had always been that i think my fitness can get me through an ultra, i love being outdoors running these trails, and i'm curious what running that long in a supported environment would feel like. the expectation of ayahuasca-tripping-tech-bro mind expansion was a rumor. and still is (pranked ya). but what that trudge taught me is that my conviction in the face of suffering was unwavering. that the pain i felt, now scraping the bottom of the barrel for "acceptable caloric and carb intake" as I slowly jog into and out of mile 29 aid (margaritaville) without consideration of the wares, wasn't going to stand in the way of this goal.

and if this was possible in an athletic pursuit where a dnf would be disappointing but without a real consequence, why could it not be possible in other situations that actually matter? i forced a smile. full coherent thoughts weren't happening but the satisfaction of movement broke through. i caught up to two other runners at mile 30 and listened as they made conversation and i explored my own human ability to make sounds with my mouth. but together we ran it in.

two beers and a cookie later brain function was returning around a fire. the reflection on this accomplishment started. i think it has made me more calm, more aware, more trusting of my intuition, and more confident in situations requiring tenacity. the hay was in the barn, the training had been done, but those last 5 miles were not something i think i could have trained for. they just had to be experienced and dealt with. the marathon was relatively easy. and then it got very very hard. and i can't wait for my next one.

epilogue: MoMoFo 100k in June. also going to look for a 50k in spring to fill in the gap, hang out with really fit people, and see what about the experience changes in the face of a looming 100k race. i love this sport. i love that the barrier to entry is a pair of shoes and the courage to commit to the training and hold on. and i love how participation can lead to soul crushing lows and life defining highs and unwavering determination to get this shit done. it reinforced that this is a lifetime journey.

when i started training for my first half marathon a few years ago, i had wrote the distance off with "i don't need to do that, i'm comfortable running 10ks." but then started the "why not run a half marathon." and then "why not run on trails in the forest." and then "why not train for an ultra." i couldn't answer that why not, and i still can't, and i hope i never can. stay curious.

"I started running at primary school, somewhat reluctantly, doing the required cross-country. And being at a small Fiordland school, if there was a sports team for anything, you sort of all have to play, just to make up the numbers!

Both my parents did the first Kepler Challenge and I remember “running” with Dad while he was training and trying to keep up with him... as much as an eight year old can. Around that time there was also a local run/bike event that went from Manapouri to Te Anau. You’d be in teams of two where you'd leap frog one another, leaving your bike on the side of the road and then start running. That would have been my first race but I didn't really run again after I left school. I did spend my youth volunteering for the Kepler Challenge though; amazed at how people could possibly run that far and never once believing that I could do it myself.

Years later I worked for DOC on the Milford Track, essentially chasing whio (blue duck) up and down a river. That kept me pretty fit as I was always on my feet a lot, hiking and climbing hills. So I decided to enter the Luxmore Grunt, essentially with no training, aside from chasing ducks. I did the Luxmore Grunt two years in a row and I did all right. And then I just stopped running again, for about fifteen years.

It was during the Covid lockdown that I took it up again properly. Mostly because there was nothing else to do, you couldn't go anywhere. I'd sort of tried to get back into running a few times, but I'd always injure myself early on because I’d go out too far, too fast, too soon. So lockdown was a good opportunity to do it right and I made a plan to take it slow. I even found a ‘couch to 5k’ plan and (mostly) stuck to it. But then they let us out of lockdown and I sort of just bolted! I found all the trails close to home on the Wild Things website and it ballooned out of control quite quickly. I was like “how many trails can I tick off?” I live in Christchurch with the Port Hills on my doorstep - so it turns out there’s a lot!

I found another training plan online and decided to train for the Motatapu Marathon. Unfortunately it was cancelled because of Covid, so I ran a 42km loop around Lyttleton Harbour. I just thought “I wonder if I can”. And I could, although it was a bit of a sufferfest. (I also had to because it was the only way to get back to the car!). 

Why did I run? I think I just really enjoyed the freedom of being out of the house and in nature. I don't know, it's quite relaxing... as much as it can hurt at times. And I think for me, those mental health benefits you get from being outside, moving and having time to think were really important. And I love a challenge - I'm very badge orientated. If there's a way of gamifying something, you've got me! And ticking off as many trails as I could had me hooked.

I’d listen to podcasts on my runs and there was an episode on Dirt Church Radio that stuck with me. Madeleine Collins from Auckland had done a challenge during lockdown where she ran an 8km loop in January... and then she ran it twice in February, three times in March, four times in April, continuing on like that for a whole year, finally running twelve loops in December. That challenge really appealed to me; that kind of incremental, increasing suffering, a ‘I don't know if this thing is possible’ kind of thing. I didn’t jump on it right away, but doing something similar was always in the back of my mind.

Then my Aunt Joan passed away from younger onset dementia a couple of years ago. Dementia Canterbury, a support network for patients and their families, had been a really useful resource for her and her family, and so I decided to try and raise some money for them in memory of my Aunt, to give back for all that they did. My Uncle Pete had ridden the length of New Zealand as a fundraiser and I still had this Madeleine Collins idea mulling around in my head. So I decided it was an opportunity to amalgamate these two ideas; raise some cash for Dementia Canterbury, and set myself a fun challenge... well, type two fun.

For my “Adventure for Dementia”, I settled on a 5km loop in the Port Hills, known as the “Pipeline of Pain”. It just sounds so appealing, doesn’t it. It has 490 metres of climbing over that 5km. The plan was I’d run one loop in January, two in February, three times in March, all the way through to December. The final run in December was 62 kilometres with 5,780 metres elevation. Okay it’s not really a run, it was basically straight up the gas pipeline, then it was too steep to run down the other side really, and then it was into another steep up and down. December's 12 loops took me 18 hours to complete. 

I was so fortunate to have a whole lot of community support around me for this. I did the single January lap by myself because I hadn't told anyone what or why I was doing it, and I didn't know yet if it was even possible. But people slowly found out and basically every lap thereafter people would join me. One guy Ken, who at the time I didn't really know, joined me in May and he did all five laps with me. Then he came back for June, July, August, right through to December. I did 78 laps in total and Ken did 68. We're quite good mates now, after spending a lot of time and suffering together. Heaps of other people that I'd never met before joined in for laps too. Some people got wind of it and drove from miles away to be a part of it. Some people just wanted to come and challenge themselves on the Pipeline track, and some came because they had a dementia connection.

I/We raised $13,000 for Dementia Canterbury - very stoked!! That was nine months ago now. I still like running, but I didn't run for some months afterwards. I was a tad broken, but I learnt that it's possible... that it's absolutely possible... you just have to be stubborn, keep moving.... and remember to eat!

I do want to know what more I am capable of. I don't feel like I’ve hit the limit yet, maybe because I haven't failed. I feel like there's more. I've got a miler on my list, another Backyard Ultra maybe. 

My advice, just go and do it I reckon. If you don't get out there and give it a go you'll never know what's possible!"Amy @amy_goes_adventuring (Christchurch) Photo taken in Te Anau– Portraits of Runners + their stories @RunnersNZ

Rouvy Virtual Vuelta – Tranquilo! Stage 4 – La Hermida

It was a sufferfest to end the Tranquilo Virtual Vuelta on Rouvy. Nearly 1200 feet of climbing in just 19 miles with a couple of sharp peaks early on and then a long but shallow climb to finish the event. There was also the added challenge thrown in of a golden kilometre in association with Strava which came before the first climb and carried a spot prize. I went all in for the golden K and…

Monday April 10 Stage 14- Sesriem to Toulou’s Farm, Namibia

Today’s ride was supposed to be an 88 mile jaunt on sand and gravel but I bailed at 15 miles. Soft sand and gravel is hard enough but Mother Nature added head winds in the range of 18-25 mph and it was too much for me. My pace dropped to 5-6 mph and that was with a lot of energy expended. I’m not here to have a sufferfest so I flagged down a support vehicle and was happy to get in. Both the dinner and lunch trucks have small passenger compartments known colloquially as “dog boxes” and I had plenty of company in the “box” before the day was done. Many riders did finish but they were the ones to look like whipped dogs.

The dog box.

Toulou’s Farm is what we might call a ranch. It’s off grid and the mail box 110 miles away. The ranch is 16,000 sparse desert acres where they run cattle, sheep and goats. It’s a third generation operation and, needless to say, they need to be self sufficient. They have a few cabins for rent and let us camp around their house. Bennie is the proprietor and he acted like he had not seen another human in months.

So today is the day that I tested to decide if I am recovered enough from Covid to train and have a shot at an 11:30 race in Cozumel. So I did this and a 10 mile run. I am pleased with the results, but not pleased with the effort it took. I lost 6 weeks of training to that fucking virus, and I am still not completely there yet. Moral of the story - Idk if I want to race or defer. Extremely frustrating. I’m not racing to just finish. I know I can suffer through a race and finish even if I didn’t train. I guess I will wait one more week until I decide.

Covered today by almost all the major news outlets the story of an incredibly fast woman racer on her equally fast Chapter2 Rere and how she had to slow down for the men’s race. We love the look on her face. #Repost @nicole_hanselmann Today was the first spring classic in Belgium. I attacked after 7km, and was alone in the break for around 30km...but then a awkward moment happend and I almost saw the back of the men's peloton... May the other women and me were to fast or the men to slow🙈 After the neutralization, I was caught up again and finished the race on the 74th place. 🚴🏻‍♀️ #bigla #chapter2 #endura #ohn #ohn19 #ohnwomen #roadrace #springclassic #sheridesroad #sufferfest #womenpower 📸: @velofocus https://www.instagram.com/p/BukkVGEnZqk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19p5b8u4uuv3r
