I avoided those games too.
I prefer solo gaming, tbh. I think the last game I played was Minecraft... and that was several months ago (or maybe longer?)

    @Wildfire: yeah, I’m working on finishing a short fan fic right now. I don’t feel like writing any of my original stuff, and certainly don’t feel like working on my novel lol. I need to be in a whole different head-space for that XD

Yes! I've been enjoying seeing all of the Halloween avatars this month

It was originally because I liked Kpop and Korean variety shows. I don't watch Korean shows as much as I used to, but I do still like them, and I enjoy learning Korean. Don't ask me why I started learning Russian though... It was more of a whim

@sunny: I always find it amusing how we creative types need a specific mood or, as you put it, head space to do a certain thing, but can do something else in the meantime...
What's the fanfic of?

@Starlight: I get that. Sometimes learning a thing just to learn a thing is all that matters. Ya gotta follow your heart! <3

    @Wildfire: It’s Resident Evil fanfic :) I just finished it, actually. I am now researching (well, refreshing my brain) about Neolithic Europe for a short story I want to write. Maybe it will be a novel idk, but it will be a project to work on while I let my novel stew for a while XD

@sunny: Aaaah... hubby is a real fan of Resident Evil! I can see where and how that would be a fun environment to write a fanfic! Good luck! :3

    @Wildfire: yeah, I love it too! One of my favourite fictional universes at any rate! I’ve loved it since the first game came out, when I was a wee baby watching my mum play XD

@koneko: I'm glad you made the page!

@sunny: lol - that's funny! But yes, there's a rich story behind what they show in the movies!

    @Wildfire: yeah don’t get me started on those movies XD lol!

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/10/9 19:33:38 )
LOL. Fair enough. :3
I don't remember if we had the games way back when... but we have at least two complete sets of the movies (DVD/Bluray/Vudu/whatever)

    @Wildfire: two sets? that’s dedication XD In all fairness, they’re good movies, but hrm… As adaptations they are kinda poor, but I have a theory about video game to screen adaptations and how they are doomed to never work. Games and movies are just two fundamentally different mediums :( I have yet to come across a movie adaptation of a video game that actually succeeded as an adaptation :/ games are just too open ended imo.

@sunny: I think it was one of those things where he bought a package set... then a new movie was released (or maybe we updated the technology?) and he got another set for a good price... ??? Something like that :3

And yes, I agree - games are too dependent on player choices and interactions during game play. To pick one path to pursue in a movie is like an incomplete game...

    Gonna have literal nightmares about what I’m reading about currently. The population replacement of Early European hunter-gatherers in Stone Age Britain. Basically, genocide :(

    @Wildfire: that’s exactly it! That’s why the movies always seem to be lacking in some way. I’m not a big video game player, but I am interested in stories and the way that different mediums call for different story types…
