For the curious anons thing, you both seem to like video games so, do you have any you really like but that don’t get a lot of attention/are kind of obscure? :o Also how did you get into Resident Evil, and whats your favorite game from the series?
Everybody in the system is pretty interested in niche and indie horror games. Detention, Ib, Mermaid Swamp, Mad Father, etc.
My (Chris) favorite obscure video game is Enter the Matrix. It’s objectively terrible but I really loved playing with the matrix powers.
As for getting into Resident Evil, we all actually avoided the whole series for a long time, because Toko (who was our main fronter for a long time) is really, really upset by zombie fiction. For a long time the only thing we knew about RE was that Leon had a nice ass (because Toko’s moirail in high school had a crush on him and talked about it sometimes).
We finally ended up getting into it year before last when Komaru from our partner system (@megaphonegirlk ) convinced our Peter that they should play one of the games, since both of them are really into guro. Komaru had always been into it but never actually played the series.
Well, they played 7 and it hit a few people. And then 8. And then in the system started freaking out and having flashbacks, and we found out the reason Toko had been avoiding it was that he was Heisenberg in a past life, and we’d all been pretty traumatized by that shit.
So then we were all ass deep in the series and we haven’t recovered!
We approach it both from a kin perspective and from a fandom perspective because engaging in fan content for it makes a lot of the emotions easier to deal with.
Edit: Oh and our favorite game is probably the remake of 2 from a gameplay perspective, and the remake of the original in a general perspective.
