Remake Carlos is the only thing I enjoyed from that game, but I absolutely loved him.

I don't think I'd ever be able to live in a cold, cruel, Carlos-less world...

I never got the hang of the dodge, but maybe I'll figure it out in future replays.

It's very tricky, but you basically have to press the Aim button (or, if you're aiming already, the Shoot button) moments before being hit by an enemy. If the attack happens while the Aim animation happens, Jill will attempt to roll or push the enemy away (the latter only against standard zombies). Be careful that rolling provides no invincibility frames: you need to actually dodge the enemy! For this reason, it's easier to dodge an enemy in an open space than it is in cramped rooms or near walls and other obstacles.

Counter intuitively, it works better while wielding big weapons, or when giving your back to the enemy, because the Aim animation becomes longer. It's also a LOT easier against most enemies that aren't zombies: you can dodge Nemesis quite easily because its attack animations are long, but to dodge a standard zombie, you need to dodge in the exact moment their attack animation begins, which is a lot trickier.

It's very difficult to master, but it's also VERY satisfying to do so!

This was exhilarating.

Poor Oscar! I felt his awkwardness at first, but I think it worked our well in the end, and he seemed to have fun as well.

I would absolutely go out drinking with him!

I've also replayed RE3 a few months back and I agree with everything you said.

OG RE3 is one of my favourite games of all time. Tank controls feel a lot more fluid with the addition of both a quick 180° turn and a quick dodge mechanic. And mastering the latter feels awesome! Fighting Nemesis by dodging its attacks at the last second to pound him with more lead is an exhilarating experience that no other RE game managed for me.

The downside is a pretty barebone story with bland characters. Carlos tries to be charming but largely fails because of the weak dialogues and the horrible VA performance. Coming off RE2, which did have wooden performance but at least had a great cast of characters and a good story, it's a let down.

But from a gameplay perspective, it's top notch. It's not just the Nemesis: maps are choke full of monsters, and there's a lot of dynamism in the way zombies burst out of car doors, shopping windows, doors that felt safe until suddenly they weren't, etc... You wonder around and hear (and see) people falling to the undead. There's a constant feeling of being trapped in a city that, hour by hour, loses all hope. Its night and day what I experienced while playing OG RE2, which was mostly a chill experience in a horror theme park (I love RE2! I just never felt scared while playing it).

A shame that the Remake dropped the ball so hard.

Was it required? IIRC they used it for telemetry purposes or whatever. Was there content or any kind of gameplay item that was gatekept behind the user having a Capcom ID? I may be misremembering, but I think I just declined when the game prompted me to create an ID.

I haven't played the most recent ones though, so maybe the made it mandatory?

It doesn't make it any less stupid, I'm just curious. I don't think a single player game should be tied to an external account.

I'm so lucky it's just a picture. If I saw it in real life, I couldn't stop myself from petting it and waking it up. Rest well, Tilty!

It's so sad that we have to question every picture we see.

The original Stronghold must be one of my most played games. Replayed it countless timed as a kid, spending hours to fortify each map until every inch of the map was covered in trees, production facilities and impenetrable walls.

The military aspect was simplistic, but the management sim aspect was top notch, that hasn't been replicated for over 20 years, until Manor Lords was released.

It was made with the help of AI. Can't say how much work was done by the AI and how much by the person in charge of the project. That being said, it works flawlessly, I wouldn't call it a slop project.

AC8 is a blast! Not my favourite AC game, but definitely in my top3.

Bambi is plotting world domination.

Let's protect the children by scanning everyone's face and ID and uploading them to a server that'll get hacked five years from now.

I love how so many people on Reddit are acting like this is a complete shock. That site has been a cesspool of bots and targeted ads for years now, people still believed they were having real conversations with humans? I'd be surprised if legit content was higher than 50%.

You know the times are dire when you find yourself rooting for Moscow Mitch.

Electing Trump the first time was the equivalent of Brexit.

Electing him twice is the equivalent of setting your own home on fire, walking back inside while the house is still burning and taking a nap, hoping that the flames will only destroy your neighbour's house.

How do you "accidentally" record other people's conversations?

As for Game Pass and other subscription services, Whitten said that developers like Aggro Crab would not be on the hook, as the fees are charged to distributors, which in the Game Pass example would be Microsoft.

In which case, Microsoft and other distributors will not release Unity games on their subscription services. This will harm game developers either way.

Geez, the internet and the tech industry as a whole is collapsing. Twitter, Reddit, Unity... What the fuck is going on in the last few years?

I pirated 90% of the texts I used to write my thesis at university, because those books would have cost me hundreds of euros that I didn't have.

Fuck you, capitalism.

Props to this person for never washing their mouth off their friend's blood. I'm sure they had the chance to do it, but chose to walk all over the hospital with their mouth covered in blood so that the nurse could see it, otherwise the joke wouldn't have landed.

I work in a hotel.

One day, a family comes to the reception to tell me that their window is broken, asking me to change their room. I ask if I can take a look.

It turns out, they didn't know the existence of tilt & turn windows and were scared that the window was going to fall down lol

This happened to me once, in reverse. A mailman had my same surname and was from the same town as my father.

He really was interested in finding out if we were somehow related, but I was, like, "buddy, I worked night shift, please, let me sleep".

He was a bit disappointed in my reaction, and I still think about it. I don't know where you are now, random maybe-distantly-related mail buddy, but I want you to know that I'm sorry and I wish you the best.
