Going to be visiting Montreal for a bit, been there multiple times before, but I’m interested in going to a decent restaurant or something in the evening! Let me know if anybody has some good wrecks, or if anyone remembers the restaurants that Adum might have recommended that are in Montreal :-)

So yeah, we all know Trump won the election and Derek Savage did a pro Trump rap video. Sad day for America all around. However, I sent the video into one of my discord servers and someone said “This video is the reason Trump was reelected.” and then I had a thought…

How much do you wanna bet Derek Savage believes this to an extent.

If not, what are some good alternatives on a similar studio/streaming scale?

Optional

Are there any studio/streaming movies that don't currently have a "so bad it's good" reputation that deserve to have it?

Hello!

Sorry if this is annoying to anybody, I'm not sure where else to post. I saw that Adum started SH2 Remake last night and wanted to post a few spoiler free!! Tips for the game. I only flair-ed for spoiler on the off chance someone wants to play the game but doesn't want to know absolutely anything about it.

1. There are "Glimpses of the Past" throughout the game that basically just act as Easter Eggs for the fans, it'll usually change the camera angle to show a snapshot of a reference in the OG game or be a recognizable item, etc. There are 26 in the game but outside of an achievement and seeing all the references, there is no in-game benefit for getting them all.

2. Similarly, there are 26 Strange Photos to collect in the game, their references are far more ambiguous and there is actually a secret to them that was recently solved by someone in the SH fandom. I won't spoil any further but again, outside of an achievement there is no other benefit in-game to collecting them all.

3. I've watched Adum play a lot of games, and he is an explorin boi and hates when games lock him out of going back when he hasn't searched an area fully. So I guess this tip is more of a soft warning that SH2R is a bit more linear than the OG in the sense that they added a lot more "lock out" points in areas of the game - particularly in Otherworld segments. They most commonly happen after picking up key items or in some traversal points (squeezing through a wall, etc.). So if you see a key item and you're not sure you have explored everything it may be worth pausing to pick it up!

4. I also had the issue of wanting to push Triangle for the map and wasting healing items because Triangle was the map button in the OG! You will get used to it, but just wanted to confirm that outside of using them when you otherwise don't want to, if you are at max health and press Triangle, the game won't let you waste one. Honestly even on hard mode with some exploring you will have healing items in abundance.

5. I'm not sure what Adum's approach to the ending is going to be if he cares at all what ending he gets. But just know that mechanically in the game the way you get the ending is very similar to OG, with a couple added twists. Not sure if he wants chat to inform him when certain things would affect an ending.

Hope he enjoys the game!! I played on PS5 and unfortunately yes there are some performance issues. There are a couple areas where frames will significantly drop, otherwise it ran pretty well but there were a lot of artifacting issues/some stuttering etc that was pretty disappointing. I don't know why these issues are being largely overlooked when criticizing the game. But as far as the game itself, I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it as a fan of the franchise for 20 years. Not free from criticisms though ofc.

Hopefully this is appropriate to the sub, I guess feel free to delete if not!! Thank you

Does anyone know where Adum's review of Mads Brugger's undercover documentary "The Red Chapel" (2009) is? I remember hearing it in a list video (or maybe a film festival) but can't seem to find it anywhere and am curious of what he thought.

So basically last year, Dontnod (yes I know what they changed their name to and you can't make me call them that) released an actual game for once, called Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. It got good reviews but flopped hard, which couldn't have been good for them considering how expensive that game was. So it look like now they've gone back to fake choice games with lesbian Fan fictions in them. Considering how utterly boring the new Life is Cringe game is, I feel this would probably make for some juicy gaming Channel content.

Theyr even releasing it in episodes too, just like the good old days.
