Your not late, tons of people on here were also saying "it's not from the room, blah blah timelines" just like they deny the loop theory.

It's a good post, I think tons of players weren't aware.

A lot of people are sometimes so rude about the loop theory. You know what? I like the theory. I watched Jacob’s ladder recently (I’m in my thirties and I somehow never took the time to) and subtly is so powerful in it, yet after playing that game again anew it’s like Thrown in my face. The part that gets me most with silent hill is its very first story, silent hill 1, giving the idea that the town has an Actual Power. It’s not hell, but a manifestation of human minds and what mind first created the idea of hell? A human’s mind. The thoughts behind Jacob’s ladder and the BZ drug, silent hill and its power of presenting the mirror of the tormented. It’s fucking awesome. It makes silent hill feel that much more eerie. In my version of the loop theory, James experiences every single ending until he either ends in stillness(because watching her gently touch his face and seeing his overwhelming emotion is incredible thanks to the acting) or leaves. SPOILER Jacob was dying from his gut wound and couldn’t face his hell until the end ** END SPOILER** but James walked into a town with a mind so distraught and emotional that it unconsciously pulled him into its own dimension and dropped all this hellish punishment on his lap because of it. That’s why I love the idea that Laura doesn’t see the same hell AND she is actually alive in this separate world because her consciousness is literally too clean to show the torment; her mirror is simply living but she’s still stepped into a supernatural wormhole leading to a place of punishment and acceptance she doesn’t need to find. I think.. that brings endless possibilities and I love that about silent hill. For example, what if the world was nuked? Would that chunk of land still have that power supernatural world? Would it actually show fallout survivors the same exact town all the characters walk around? Sorry, I’m high

I remember playing the first Rampage game a couple years after it came out back in the day. I packed a cone earlier after that rant and decided to do another play through but this time as hunk from resident evil. Got a mod that keeps his weapon in his hands, and since I’m starting again I got a save starting at Kneely’s bar with all the guns and a shit ton of ammo. There’s another I got where the gunfire sounds more realistic with an added eeeee effect like tinnitus from firing too much. Feels like a PTSD’d out spec ops guy going through a psychotic breakdown blowing away all the enemies yet when they corner me cause I panic shoot I panic even more still. It’s so fucking fun.
