Play the Nancy Drew games!
Point and click to move, casual but with the occasional timed puzzle or action that can initiate a funny game over sequence. But you just click "try again" and it puts you back where you were with no loss of progress.
Fun mysteries and stories, they're consistently mostly great which is admirable for a series with over 30 entries. The plots are intriguing and the characters are usually interesting to talk with and try to figure out. The plots are linear but they feel more open because you are free to go around the map and there are numerous things that trigger the next stage in a game so you really feel like Nancy Drew wandering around a place figuring out what's going on.
UHS website gives hints on solving puzzles (and the straight up solutions if you need). A must for players and so much better than just following a walkthrough which gives you the answer (also cause you'll do things in a different order from the walkthrough and might spoil yourself if you try finding the solution to your current dilemma).
For women by women in the best way (fantastic female characters from crazy old ladies to an interesting evil Paris Hilton, focuses on women of history when it can, nothing there upsetting to women so you can shut your brain off from the world and have unfiltered fun).
If interested I highly recommend the game "danger on deception Island". It's probably the best written of the mysteries with some of the best characters. Another is treasure in a royal tower which is older but I personally love for how it weaves in stories of Marie Antoinette and humanized her through the mystery. Also the first instance of a great character Beatrice Hotchkiss who shows up again in other games on telephone calls.

Thanks for the recommendation anon, I constantly forget about Nancy Drew because I'm not american so she's not part of the pop culture of my country. I randomly came across a playthrough of one of her games on yt and I immediately loved it. I wonder if there's a thread to discuss detective themed media, I read/watched a lot when I was younger and I'd like to sperg with others about that.

i'd recommend overwatch too, its the only fps i've ever been good at because it has soo many different heroes to play as, so many different playstyles, its probably the most flexible fps with a very low barrier of entry because it matches you with others at your skill level. it gets a lot of hate but honestly I don't understand the hate…overwatch is fun!

The only way to improve is to practice (if you have the motivation for that) and play more games. A lot of skills are interchangeable between games, fortunately. So much so that at some point it becomes a matter of only having to get used to that particular game's physics and controls. If you're not gonna autistically obsess over a game and practice it, the best way to improve is to just beat a game and any extra challenges/levels it may have, then move on to the other. You'll build up the needed skills as you go. It's also a matter of having the patience and perseverance to not throw the towel if you hit a roadblock, putting in the effort to think and revaluate how you're approaching that particular challenge and maybe come up with a new strat by experimenting or looking up a guide online or some shit.

By sucking at FPS I am unsure if you mean you lack the needed eye-hand coordination, if you're not good at aiming, or both. In any case, if your brain still gets confused by WASD + mouse just ease into it by playing slower games so you get used to the basic movement, I recommend Minecraft since you can still have fun by yourself and take things at your own pace. If you want to improve at aiming try out Aim Lab. And honestly the average FPS is just boring imo so once you feel like you got a good grasp on the mechanics of PC gaming try out TF2 since it's slower and more casual and if you wanted to you can play it in many other ways that don't involve shooting either. If you become autistic about it there's also a comp scene in the game you could look into if you wanted. And if you still wanna try out the other boring, cookie-cutter FPS just give them a go after you played those previous games.
After becoming average at most games, it's usually a matter of just how good you wanna become at them, or not if you don't want to.

The Last Night at Tremore Beach Anonymous 36070[Reply]

Netflix's intense, compelling 8-episode Spanish psychological thriller miniseries The Last Night at Tremore Beach will surely be a staple on lists of the darkest and most disturbing television series ever made. The show follows a talented musician who begins having terrifying visions after being struck by lightning, along with his relationship with his girlfriend who has a deeply traumatic past. Acclaimed filmmaker Oriol Paulo keeps audiences hooked from the very beginning with non-stop twists and turns that become increasingly wild, dark, and unexpected as the series progresses, and the miniseries is also a perfect example of how a show can repeatedly depict incredibly graphic and harrowing violence and sexual violence without ever feeling the slightest bit like lurid exploitation. Only a director as skilled as Paulo could film a brutally violent 20+-minute gang rape scene (in episode 4) without the scene feeling like exploitation in the least. The performances are all top-notch as well, especially that of Ana Polvorosa as profoundly traumatized rape victim Judy Garmendia, who makes the audience feel every bit of her pain and trauma on a deeply chilling level. Watch this along with Baby Reindeer (2024) - which also deals heavily with the trauma of rape (in that case, from a male perspective) - for two of the darkest, most impressive miniseries on Netflix.

Some reviewers felt that the sexual violence in The Last Night at Tremore Beach was excessive and unnecessary. I strongly disagree. I personally thought that it was exactly how rape should be portrayed in film: horrific, disturbing, not the slightest bit eroticized or male gazey, and perfectly conveying the pain and trauma of rape. I was especially impressed with the show's masterful portrayal of female rape trauma since it was done by a male director. If male viewers are traumatized by it, that's a good thing - they should be traumatized by it, and I hope that it helps them to understand just how traumatic rape is.

What did you think of this show and its portrayal of rape?

I used to be super involved in the fanbase but I grew out of it. Unfortunately, it seems the band members themselves never really matured (except Ray), so I'm at a weird place now where I still enjoy their music but participating in fan culture anymore is embarrassing, due to actions of the band members themselves and the new generation of fans being unbearable.

>a huge F You to comic book geeks and Hollywood
…yes, and people do not need to like being cursed at. The idea that everyone who does not enjoy being cursed at needs to learn to enjoy being cursed at is a very Tarantino view of the way dialogue should be written, but I had no idea he expanded this out to social discourse concerning society's relationship to fiction (the "fuck you to Hollywood" part of that relationship). Having fun being cursed at by someone who genuinely despises you from their position of superiority in a social hierarchy used to be called "toxic masculinity," in general.
And don't give me some "oh he's just alluding to saying fuck you to MALE comic book geeks and not to the enormous swath of women who author batcest fanfics and constitute somewhere around 40% of the BatFamily's core audience" stuff. No, no he does not. Harley Quinn in this movie is a particular fuck you to the women who like comic book villains moreso than to the women who follow true crime, and both categories of women are in fact women.

>the rape scene in the movie felt very reminiscent and similar to how female rape gets thrown into movies just for edgy and shocking purposes
That's what equality looks like. They need to start raping male characters more for the shock factor alone, and make the scenes really fetishy as well. Bravo Todd

I was on the fence after watching it, because it was very similar to the first movie and I liked that, but thinking about it more, this entire 'fuck you' to those who idolize or even simply like Joker is worth nothing, when the creators already took the money to make two movies about Joker. They literally piggybacked on comic fans' backs and now are trying to shame them? lmao, they deserved all the pushback they got: and that pushback disproved the message they tried to drag in the move about people not caring about Arthur, turns out they did!

the ending also felt very forced, too

He put himself and his ego before his own son, that's a pathetic father. If you couldn't see that I'm amazed at your media literacy considering the final seasons slammmmed it over the viewers heads that they had the cash so he could spend the rest of his living life with his son but he wanted to be drug kingpin for a day (and when he was that he failed catastrophically), working under Gus is fine actually and his own paranoia is what ruined that relationship and killing Gus was one of the stupidest things he did, and that just later seasons and his big mistakes.
But if you think money is all that makes a father and not being a parent then no wonder you're coping on at least having a dad and fantasizing about internet strangers not having one at all

First 2 seasons are alright but it becomes very stupid after that. Jesse and his friends are my favorute characters because even almost 20 years later, people like that in the southwest still exist everywhere. IMO Gus and Mike are the 2 weakest characters. Gus is portrayed as some unbelievably calculated individual but has to use violence to get everything he wants and Mike is just silly. Doing James Bond shit and beating up guys double his weight and half his age.

Walt, Jesse, Gus, Mike and Hank.

The worst part of Breaking Bad was the wives, Skylar and Marie, and Marie stealing shit from the shops that got dropped because nobody wanted to see this stupid bitch and Skylar smoking while pregnant and being a bitch in general

I have a physical copy of No Longer Human, which is definitely a favourite. Also really enjoyed Uzumaki, and I'd love to get a copy of one of his art books. 'Glyceride' made me feel the most queasy, and 'The Enigma of Amigara Fault' is a great eerie short story.

Let's talk about our favorite media that's mainly targeted at children

Disney movies, cartoons, games and even toys/collectibles in general

The genre itself, the adult fanbase andthe possible stigma around it can also be discussed.

I used to watch little bear every morning with my mom before school when I was a kid. It was on while I was at school but we had one of those fancy VHS players that could be scheduled to record on a blank tape when you wanted. She loved that there was a couple called "Sandy" and "Mental(sp)" or some sort of combination that sounded like "sentimental" which is so cute. The winter solstice episode always comes to me cause they baked cookies for the deer and watched them eat off the trees. It wowed me so much as a city kid.
I have tons of old VHS tapes filled with mostly Winnie the Pooh (on at 6am lmao), Franklin, and little bear and I want to transfer all of them as is to digital so I can enjoy the nostalgia experience
