Bravo Also To Robert Eggers For Probably The Least Bad Depiction Of Transylvania In Western Vampire Cinematic

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

This game is TOOOO good

A GIF from Alan Wake 2. Alan can be seen typing away at his typewriter as the camera zooms out. The text overlay reads: "BEST NARRATIVE" in all caps.
A GIF from a behind the scenes look at Alan Wake 2. Concept art of Saga looking out in to the distance at Cauldron Lake can be seen. The text overlay reads: "BEST ART DIRECTION" in all caps.
A GIF from Alan Wake 2. The GIF at first shows a gameplay moment where Alan is stood before a television set where a live action version of himself is visible. The camera zooms in during a player prompt, closer to the television screen, before transitioning to the live action Alan staring directly at the camera. The text overlay reads: "BEST GAME DIRECTION" in all caps.

THREE awards for Alan Wake 2 at The 2023 Game Awards!

Guys Please. If Any Electronic Music Listeners Are Out There. I NEED You To Listen To The Hatred Album

Guys please. If any electronic music listeners are out there. I NEED you to listen to the Hatred album by FIENDGRIEF. It scratches every void left by Crim3s in my heart and mind (and ears) . They have less than 500 monthly listener and I need to put the word out because I feel insane and need more people to listen to this.

Listening is not enough, I need to eat the album

I Can’t Believe I Actually Finished A Drawing. I Didn’t Think I Knew How To Do That.

I can’t believe I actually finished a drawing. I didn’t think I knew how to do that.

I’m obsessed with DMC5 at the moment and V is one of my favorite characters. I think about what his character means in regards to Vergil constantly. Capcom, bring him back and my life is yours.
