What horror movie image haunts you? Caught Jacob's Ladder (1990) on TV a bit too young, and the party scene (ifkyk) left me afraid of dancing.
Now what's going on here? Zero way to see who gave me this. Show your face, you fucking nice person
It's not the usual tells because genAI is getting better at hiding tracks. I could be wrong, I really don't like crying wolf, but are these 4 guys quadruplets, or just 4 classmates that happen to have the exact same nose, and mouth, and necklace? And the girls share too-similar features/expressions
Posting this before I make any other changes. My answers will be completely different 3 minutes from now. But I'm happy to represent a few hidden gems. I feel like half of these could go in "Criminally Overlooked" and "Needs a Remake."
A quick 1-bit baryonyx skull, for both @pixeldailies.bsky.social's #pixeldailies (theme: extinct animals) and also @polyducks.bsky.social's Nokia art jam (theme: fossils). Check it out here: itch.io/jam/nokiaart...
Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways (2005) - I didn't know this was basically playing Ada's POV during the main campaign, a la RE2. Love when they do that. Relatively well done for being so short (4-5 hours). A little rough around the edges compared to Leon's playthrough but Ada's a fun character.
This is also seen with the environment examples. I know it's doing more than just brightness & contrast, but tbh that's the gist. I'm losing my mind hearing them say how much better these look with DLSS. They don't look more realistic, it just looks like a different time of day and weather!
GAMES FINISHED IN 2026 Resident Evil 4 (2005) - I've played this on release before but wanted to replay it before the remake (and to get into RE mode in preparation for Requiem). This game has more juice than I remember! Please enjoy my chuckle which I didn't realize my Dualsense's mic recorded.
FREE FEET Also is this toe broken? It doesn't hurt that much, I can wiggle it okay. I dropped something on it a few days ago and didn't think anything of it, then noticed it was plum-colored. The bruising wraps around to the side and underneath too, which makes me think it could be a small fracture
Before I start my "games I completed in 2026" thread, question for Hades people: does finishing my first run count as "I finished Hades," and playing it more is to 100% it? Or (without spoiling anything) is there an upcoming spot that will be the regular end? Or IS there no end other than 100%...
I don't know Jack's moveset well so I tried to evade a lot. The cheeky end to this made me giggle 🤭
My only social interaction for today has been the cashier saying "This is the biggest lime I've ever seen," and me responding "I know, right?"
Happy stupid holiday from the one neighborhood cat who lets me pet her

Lately been really enjoying RDS b3+4 for evasion (the twirl back that makes an enemy whiff)
