I guess this is pretty much a blog.

Happy Halloween! Don't really know what I'm going to do tonight. I'll probably just watch scary movies and play Resident Evil.

I watched the original japanese Ring trilogy leading up to Halloween, so that was neat. The first one is a classic, and I think I like it a bit more than the american version, which I also watched recently. The remake holds its own pretty well, but I think the japanese version is scarier just because it feels a bit more grounded, and less "Hollywood" if that makes sense. Like, the american version is trying really hard to be scary, with the sickly green filter, the more stereotypically dilapidated sets, and the more exaggerated grisly features on Samara compared to Sadako. The cursed tape itself seems more realistic in the original version too. It looks more like someone's fucked up home movies compared to the american version, which is more obviously staged, well lit, and less noisy.

All that being said, you can't go wrong with either movie.

Oh yeah, I was supposed to talk about the other movies too.

Ring 2 wasn't great. I was bored through most of it. I only remember really liking one scene from it. It also has one of the worst movie deaths I've ever seen. If you've watched it, you probably know which one I'm talking about.

Ring 0: Birthday was surprisingly good. I didn't really need more backstory on Sadako, but it worked really well to make her more of a tragic character, and I did end up feeling bad for her by the end of the movie.

Shouts out to the Towel Man. If I ever need a last minute Halloween costume, I know what I'm going to do.

I'm still trying to make Pillowfort a thing. I forgot there might be a waitlist to join (I've heard conflicting things about it), so I'll leave an invite link here to join immediately. Uh, this is the link for it.

And don't forget to follow me there!

I finally got to Act 3 in Silksong, and I'm taking a short break from it. Fuckin' amazing game so far. I wish the "final" boss went a bit longer though, she was really fun to fight. I think I like bullet-hell-ish bosses that have you dodging a bunch of projectiles.

Currently also playing:

I found this at a thrift store for 2 bucks and was surprised that there's an official patch that makes it run on modern systems. I kinda miss this era of PC gaming, we need more weird janky isometric goth games.

I'm playing a necromancer to have a spooky skeleton army.

Idk why they move around like that when you're idle.

I kinda wish I had this game as a kid, I think I would have been addicted to it. The core gameplay is a lot simpler than I was expecting, it's mostly just clicking on dudes until they're dead (and in my case, having my army of the undead do most of the work lmao).

I'm going to try to post to Pillowfort more consistently again. Bluesky's moderation is pissing me off lately. Follow me if you haven't!

I'm still working my way through Silksong. It's been a great game, but I'm a little burned out seeing all the requirements needed to reach Act 3. Overall, I think I like it more than Hollow Knight.
