I hope I can find another roommate soon. I really don't want to get a second job. I don't know if my brain will even be able to handle it.

1. I upgraded the DLSS version to the latest one, and it does fix some things but it breaks others. That's why the game has been crashing when I exit it too. Bloober released a patch to fix things that break when running on the newest DLSS along with some other performance enhancements and gameplay fixes, but it introduced a glitch in the game that prevents progression at a certain point. They have said it likely won't be fixed until Thursday which is really shitty. Not gonna update until that's fixed, but when I do hopefully all the DLSS stuff works.
2. They actually used 0451 for a lock combination haha pretty neat.
3. They have the USA flag hung the wrong way. I notice a lot of foreign devs do this by mistake. Crazy how even with all their consulting firms they still manage to mess up stuff like this, huh? When the flag is displayed, the stars are always supposed to be on the top left no matter the orientation, but a lot of people just rotate the flag 90 degrees and call it good.
4. Man they did Eddie dirty. They changed the pizza scene to one where he's in the movie theater eating directly from a comically massive tub of ice cream with his bare hands. His voice is monotone as hell and he's kind of a prick. He was pretty endearing in the original cutscene, I thought. The cutscene itself is just not as good either... They don't bring up Mary at all or the fact that Eddie is on the run because he did something. He's just... There, being a slob. Not just a guy who likes eating food, but a SLOB.
5. Laura is also different... She seems... Way meaner. In the original, it comes across as her just teasing and being a bit of a brat, not really realizing what she's doing is wrong sort of thing, but in the remake she seems actually just straight up MEAN. I think with her, Eddie, and Maria they are kind of like caricatures, facsimiles of their personalities boiled down to the simplest of traits and then exaggerated. It really messes with the mood.
6. Whoever was in charge of the ambient sound did such a good job. I really hope more people make some hour long YouTube videos of it or something. So cozy, which is exactly what it should be like for Silent Hill!
7. Funny, I got rid of Maria at the hospital and the game increased in quality again. Back to feeling really tense.

About 2 hours this time. A lot less to say that I haven't already said. I still really think that a remake for SH2 in this sort of capacity wasn't a great idea. I would much rather have had one for SH1.

game jam game almost done, just gotta give the enemies special moves and then test it to make sure they aren't too overpowered lol. i definitely want the game to be easy and something you can complete in like 10-15 minutes, but there is a score at the end so if you want to try and get it higher you always can!
