I just found out that these are on the official Silent Hill store. WTF is going on man.

Silent Hill: The Short Message 

Hmmmmmm.... subtle. Angela in SH2 carries that knife around with her and it is clear that she probably harms herself, but it is never explicitly mentioned like this and her scars are never shown because she wears a long sleeve shirt.

Silent Hill: The Short Message 

There are live action cutscenes. What's the deal with these things?? I hate them every time I see them. Takes me out of the experience immediately. I can understand going for it if the idea is to be a little corny, like in the original Resident Evil, but when games are trying to use it for a serious effect it just doesn't do anything for me man. Feels way too detached from the rest of the game.

holy hot fucking diggity damn they brought the sauce with this one

It's also worth mentioning that it's not like suicide wasn't a problem back when SH2 came out, either. Especially in Japan. This kind of shit is 100% because companies are worried that Twitter users who don't even play the game are going to get their panties in a bunch and they can't have "journalists" talking shit on their game because that is going to affect their bottom line or something.

Here's another thought... Silent Hill 2 did thing really tactfully. A lot of people find that even though the game has some really fucked up stuff in it, they felt sort of comforted while playing it despite suffering from a lot of these same traumas. It's not too dissimilar from how child abuse victims may consume or draw stuff like lolicon. I'd wager to say that the people who created Silent Hill 2 all suffered from things like depression and sexual trauma as well, and they used the game as a creative outlet for that. I would not be surprised in the SLIGHTEST.

This piece of shit is probably going to be way too blatant about bullying and suicide and all that garbage and not have any sort of tact whatsoever. I hope I'm proven wrong but I already know I'm right because the damn art on the home screen already shows off everything you need to know about how well this game actually treats the issue.

Take this and juxtapose it to Silent Hill and Silent Hill 3's warnings. They are content warnings of course, but it doesn't sound like they're trying to coddle the player or take some social stance. The warning screens from those games even add a little bit of extra spice... you know you're in for a ride and it's time to prepare yourself before you dive in. Shattered Memories has an ever creepier one because of its unique gameplay mechanics. Even fucking Doki Doki Literature Club doesn't have to be all "suicide is bad, guys, we don't condone it." It just says you might have a bad time if you suffer from certain mental illnesses.

Silent Hill 2 doesn't have a warning screen PERIOD and it's got suicides, calls to suicide, PTSD, sexual abuse, and murderers. What the fuck is going on with the world? Is the Silent Hill 2 remake going to have a content warning that's the length of a damn EULA you have to scroll through slowly before you can play?

Man you know it's great when the game hasn't even started yet and I'm already malding xD

Going to watch someone else's playthrough of Silent Hill: A Short Message. Since, you know, I don't have a PS5 and probably never will unless I find one on the side of the road.

This is gon' be good.... and by good I mean probably trash. Those leaks we saw a little while ago for a new Silent Hill game coming soon with the girl that had the post-it notes with "homo" written on them or whatever? Yeah, 100% real.

also, the music in that trailer sounds like booty hole. i really hope that's just something done up for the trailer and not replacing the original song in-game.

never trust the hype when something is advertised as having parts of the original team on board.

I told you so, and I don't hate to say it.

Live action + Netflix = Death sentence. So many people were getting hyped about this, that it was going to be better than Shyamalan's Avatar. "It has the original writers of the cartoon, that means it's going to be great!" Well, it's missing one of them, that being the guy who didn't work on Korra. I knew this was going to be bad before it was even announced.

Naturally, someone's death gives way for new life. New experiences. Who knows what the future holds? There are graveyards long forgotten in old woods with all of the names scrubbed off, but the flowers left behind from loved ones have grown into beautiful and enchanting sights to behold. Even something like the catacombs under Paris see tons of new people every day experiencing something completely new. In life there is death, but in death there is life. I hope my death is the same.

Weird post for my birthday lol. I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon, but you know. Another year closer.

YOOOO check out what i just got in the mail! finally, the Damaris body pillow is real xD just in time for my birthday too!

next step is buying a pillow that will actually fit the case because the one that i have is around a foot too small xD not a huge deal for now especially because the pillow isn't exactly going to be cheap either lol.

but yeah, sick. i have now ascended and am one more step closer to becoming a true wizard. thanks again to my sister in law for the awesome artwork :D

Been working on this house in Sims 4 a little bit. It's not done but I'm liking it a lot! I usually build these massive mansions with tons of rooms and stuff but I'm going much smaller with this one (but still spacious) and it's been nice.
