Blood is *very* good, if you're hardcore into 90s shooters. It is super hard, but also very satisfying. It becomes a lot easier once you get a hold of, and learn to manage, all the weapons.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld
Also I hope you're playing either in BloodGDX, or on a medium difficulty. Because otherwise you're affected by the infamous difficulty bug.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld
If you save and reload on the same level, and you're not playing on the medium difficulty, enemies will double their damage, while you'll only inflict half.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld
Lightly Broiled is the only difficulty that's not affected. Another solution is to only save right before exiting a level.

I still don't understand the 60 fps obsession. Maybe it's because back in the day of you had a monitor that refreshed at only 60 Hz, a major headache was petty much guaranteed.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
At the same time games were all over as far as frame rate went. 35, 70, 85, or even 100+ in the late 90s if you could afford both a good video card & a monitor.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
A few years ago I was asked to take a look at someone's dying machine, and they had a 50 Hz CRT monitor for some reason, and I swear to you I could see the screen refresh with my own eyes. It was painful to even glance at it.
I remember in the 90s feeling lightheaded after playing games for 2+ hours on a CRT monitor veeery often. I'm also sure that's why I wear glasses today, but never needed them earlier in my life. https://x.com/chr0n0kun/status/971877543841226752

I haven't seen it, but I thought that's how the movie was going to end, and was surprised when it didn't.
Replying to @aNuChallenger
I understand why after the final act of the film, the way it played out, the theatrical ending made more sense, as a statement. But for a horror film a sort of more tropey ending, as the case with original, would also work.
Replying to @aNuChallenger
By "original" I mean the alternate ending, as it is my understanding that's what was originally scripted.
Replying to @aNuChallenger
I do love the whole final act where it almost feels like a different movie is playing.

I don't think it's a bad thing either. But anything can be too much. There can be too much hand holding, and no discovery, and the result would be boring. Same as playing a 30 year old game & having no clue how to play it even after an hour. The games get abandoned as a result. https://x.com/everyfan3417/status/976110681153003520
