  • Do the resident evils after the first three count? I was pretty young when the first game for ps came out back in '96 and it scared the shit out of me. Loved everything about 2 and 3. Even loved the remake of the original for GameCube and code Veronica was…alright?

    I know everyone loves 4 but my opinion at the time was that it was a good game but not a good resident evil game. That’s prob my most boomer take but I grew up playing the first 3 so I wasn’t a big fan of the action elements of the game.

    Just finished playing the remake of 2 and, I mean it’s fine I guess? I liked some things about it but they left so much out. Probably won’t play the rest. Yeah, that’s my old man take.

    But if we’re gonna stick with the main themes of the thread: Parasite Eve. The first game was a masterpiece. The second one is indeed a game.



  • Thinking back, the first thing that started my spiral in highschool and eventually snowballed into me dropping out was a mandatory public speaking assignment in a fucking health class during sophomore year. I was a pretty decent student up until then.

    I had really bad social anxiety that no amount of “suck it up and get over it” would have fixed. I wasn’t able to confront and remedy it until years later.

    But yeah, forced to give an oral exam in front of a class of 30+, just skipped the entire class, took the F, my grades tanked to the point it was impossible to recover without repeating years and summer school. My mom already barely had enough money as it was, forget going to summer school. So I just dropped out.

    The teacher was completely indifferent when I told her in private and gave me the whole “you either do it or fail” so yeah. A year later I dropped out. Life didn’t really turn out much different had I graduated, though so there’s that. Maybe I would’ve struggled less in my 20s, idk.
