If you want to get into Resident Evil and want to start from the beginning, the HD remaster of the Gamecube remake of Resident Evil 1 is on Steam.

It is often considered one of the greatest remakes of all time and widely thought to surpass the original while preserving everything that made the original great (with the exception of the cheesy FMV cutscenes and dialogue. The remade dialogue is still cheesy but not nearly as funny) unlike the 2/3 remakes that change the games completely.

Technically Resident Evil 0, the HD remaster of which is also on Steam, is the actual beginning of the story in terms of the series’ timeline but I would not recommend it to a newcomer. Consider it advanced studies to come back to later.

The only main games which do not have modern PC ports on current storefronts are 2, 3 and Code Veronica and there are multiple ways to experience each on PC.

I grew up with the PS1 so I tend to just emulate those versions for 2 and 3, which is honestly rather painless with Duckstation, but there are plenty of other ways. You could also emulate the Dreamcast or Gamecube ports of said games, and I believe the GC version has a mod for HD backgrounds.There’s also the Classic Rebirth Patches for the Japanese-only PC ports which can be found floating about online.

As for CV, you have the original Dreamcast version and the Code Veronica X port for PS2 and the later HD ports of CVX for Xbox 360 and PS3. All four can be emulated, though IIRC there’s issues with emulating the 360 version. Also some people are not fans of the changed lighting in the HD remake in general. I just emulate the PS2 version with PCSX2

Are these compatible with the randomisers, Classic Rebirth Patches and other mods people have made over the years or do you still need to track down the old Japanese SourceNext ports?

Edit: Just checked and these are just the old US PC versions made to work with modern systems. That means no mods and that for the best experience you’ll still need to pirate the Japanese PC ports

For me the highlight of summer are the bright nights and they peak really early. It’s all downhill from here

I guess that would depend on your geographical location. Over here they’re typically seen towards the end of summer

The only God we worship in this house 🙏

It’s so lazy though. They don’t even need to construct elaborate conspiracy theories, just lazily bake some numbers

How about the drive-by proselytisers that are calling you to repent and turn to Jesus in the comments of a video about a cute animal or Oblivion NPC dialogue

The religion with the most annoying followers

• Create a new landmass in the southern hemisphere that mirrors Northern Europe
• Split your time between the two continents, leaving whenever it gets too dark and cold

I actually don’t mind snowy winters either, it’s the seesawing between above and below freezing that makes things icy, slippery and shitty

Stabbing a kid in the back is the most masculine thing you can do

Edit: he tried to stab an adult man first on the same day but failed

8 degrees? I assume Australians are freezing solid like in a cartoon

I’ve noticed myself getting sadder when the end of summer approaches as I get older. Feels shorter every year Hell, it’s already less than a week until summer solstice and then it’s going to start getting darker again

Actually, sunlight is a big component of why summer is so important to people in the north. You go from the sky being pitch black after 3 PM at around Christmas to the Sun never quite fully setting around Midsummer

No, Finland

Air conditioning isn’t generally a thing here either, mostly because it hasn’t historically been that warm

When it gets hot I just have an electric fan pointed at my face at all times when I’m home

Thank you, I will try

But seriously though, I can’t even imagine how awful those conditions would be to live in

The worst experience I had with humid weather was when a bowl of cheetos left on a table turned soggy overnight

It got to almost 30 degrees in my apartment in the evenings a few weeks back and that was already pretty intolerable to me, can’t even imagine

And thankfully it was just a black bear

I would definitely still shit my pants

98 F works out to… almost 37 C

I would simply perish

Also I’m happy I don’t need to worry about seeing a bear this far south. Had a mama moose(or rather, elk) and her calf cross the road in front of me while I was walking home to my apartment one evening a few summers ago and that was already too 2spooky4me

I guess when people here equate porn with the “adult entertainment industry” but there’s a whole vast ocean of porn beyond adult films

But would a communist utopia have horny fanart of Sonic the Hedgehog
