I think that’s a key Silent Hill thing in general. For all its ideas, SH2 doesn’t have endless streams of dialogue or back and forths. It’s punchy, to the point dialogue that is often four or five total exchanges between two characters. The quality of animation in f allows for that kind of brevity.

Boo-rylad 🎃🎃🎃 @thebarrylad.bsky.social · 10h

Silent Hill f really is one of the best looking games of the year. The facial animation is stunning and oftentimes there are important cutscenes where the key ideas are being conveyed by sly looks or facial ticks. It allows the cutscenes to say a lot while still being fairly short and to the point.

Jonathan Greenblatt tweet, with an embedded photo of some of the Young Republicans Nazi chat messages:
What was reported in
@politico
is offensive and very concerning. But I’m also glad that many leaders, including
@EliseStefanik
and
@RepMikeLawler
, spoke out strongly and swiftly against these hateful statements. This is what leadership looks like – and is how decency and morality can be modeled. https://politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

The FG campaign genuinely seems to only have made Connolly more popular. It honestly feels like people can see a desperate, motion-less, idea-less campaign that quickly turned nasty and sniff it out for what it is.

I've always been a bit surprised by how the likes of FG & friends talk about the Paul Murphy case. They didn't get the outcome they wanted, but just talk about it like they did, while at the same time claiming to be all about law & order.

That carry on is always likely to hit a big defamation wall

so South Park pivoted to a two week production cycle, then couldnt hit that and went to three weeks and then suddenly this new one is called season 28 episode 1, so I guess season 27 was just that run of five whole episodes and is now done? whats going on over there lads
