Inferno Nemesis Has Made Me Pro-Euthanasia

So, I know this isn't new news to anybody, but oh my fucking God, the final boss on Inferno is actually insane. And not even just the final boss. I died multiple times in the first phase before you get real weapons. I don't know if it was actually that hard or maybe I'm just bad at the game, but either way, 0/10, did not enjoy.

Also, again, probably a cold take here, but dying to Nemesis over and over and over and over and over again was bad enough, but I think having to go through the walk down, open gun, shoot, skip sequence so many times made it worse. It can't have been more than 30 seconds, but it felt like years. Anyways, got my platinum trophy. Never playing this game again. So fucking long, RC. XOXO.

On to RE4 🫡 (new player and just finished 2 and 3 so very excited about this one based on what i've seen)

I Understand Tamlin

First off, I want to preface this by saying fuck Tamlin, and I don't agree with anything he did to Feyre. But I'm on like my 17th reread, and I do feel like a lot of his actions make sense, and they get shit on way too much because he's Tamlin.

From his point of view, Feyre was taken by a guy who is famously known for mind-controlling people and who everyone knows is evil. And yes, obviously, as the reader, we know that's not true, but the rest of the fucking world doesn't.

Not to mention, the last time Tamlin knew anything about Feyre's abilities, she was illiterate and couldn't even write her family a letter. So for her to suddenly write this polished letter saying, "No, I swear, I'm fine. I'm just leaving you because I'm unhappy," when, again, she's in the presence of the mind-controlling evil dude, I totally understand him thinking something is up.

Obviously, you have to listen to what she wants. But again, as the reader, we know she's not being mind-controlled. Tamlin doesn't. And it's a huge trope for everyone to love the whole "I would literally kill and die for you" thing, which is exactly what he's doing. I feel like if it were somebody else doing it (aka Rhys), we wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with it. But because we know Tamlin is the enemy and because we know what Feyre is thinking, everything he does gets viewed through that lens.

Again, fuck Tamlin because he did lock her in a house, and he did sell the world to Hybern to get her back. But again, we love an "I'll go to the ends of the world, I'll fucking crumble this planet to save you" type of trope until, all of a sudden, it's a blonde dude.

Which, fair, because blonde men suck.

So, TL;DR: Fuck Tamlin. I'm not justifying his actions, but I do think they make sense.

Mr. X is Very Good at His Job

This is my very first time playing any RE game ever, but this Tyrant mfer is pissing me off. I just got done with Leon and now I'm on Claire's run and tell me how this guy has enough time to chase both of us all around this police station? Because when I was playing as Leon there sure as fuck wasn't a time when he wasn't on my ass so I know he wasn't going after Claire.
