Alucarda - That's the good shit. Satanic panic horror from the '70s that's just oozing with atmosphere. Very beautifully shot, the set design is amazingly well done and anyone who's into the atmospheric gothic horror stuff will surely love it just for the visuals alone. The plot itself is just the usual 'demonic corruption' stuff that's been done to death by now, but the somewhat dreamlike manner in which everything is presented makes it work anyway. There's the occasional bout of overacting that veers a bit too far into the 'too silly for its own good' territory, but overall this one's definitely well worth watching. 

why did you photoshop kanye west's face on there? 😕

Not so much an easter egg, but in the interview connected to 13 Shuuji namedrops J.G. Thirlwell's project Foetus in connection to one of the songs on the album. Makes me kinda curious to find out more about the musical stuff these dudes are into lol

secret trick doctors don't want us to know about: current tour gets canceled due to corona and thereby forces the band to stay active for one more year :^)

the level of weirdness in this reminds me so much of siren lmao
 
I've been on a Jean Rollin kick lately and I thought The Grapes of Death was really good. Great atmosphere and some good gore thrown around. That one, including The Iron Rose, might be my favorite of his. Also really enjoyed Lips of Blood, it had such a fairytale like feel to it. Last night I watched Zombie Lake and either I just have really bad tastes, but I didn't think it was as bad as the rating people give. Alright, there's a lot of nude in this one, it begins with a 4-minute nude scene, and then later a 4-minute sex scene and it doesn't quite stop there. Even the way the zombies attack people look almost erotic sometimes. But I enjoyed the father and daughter reunion bit and that was enough to make up for all the issues going on in the film for me.

Lockdown here was extended to easter… also government now can control people's phone signals to look if people are respecting the new laws. 😕

.gniht lluf eht raeh ot tiaw t'naC

love that they're optimistic that they're gonna be around until september

PV for SAJOU、MOYU。ZANZOU. Sounds great. PV is fantastic.

dir en grey confirmed for olympics opening act

Man Ryu sounds pretty rough in that one lol
 
Also props to them for making PVs for every song on the album and all but so far most of them seem kind of... boring

The new DIMLIM is all about ignoring reality and pushing forward with no brakes, if they cancelled their shows it would not be in character

If they're very naissu, they could still stream the entire thing instead. But I guess Kisaki won't do it, becuase that won't give him cash…

Hey! My gf and I checked it out. 
 
The overall game  feels somewhat bare-bones,  but in general the atmosphere it presents does work. I personally liked the way the room with the spiral staircase looked the most, as it kind of has a dreamlike atmosphere to it with the lighting and all that. My two biggest gripes atm are that the time limit in its current form seems to be a bit TOO strict (at first I already managed to run out of time while I was still trying to explore the different corners of the ''starting'' hallway!) and secondly that once you pass through this stone gate and climb up the staircase it kind of becomes really unclear where you're supposed to go/what you're supposed to do. 
 
Here's a couple more of our thoughts, hopefully they're not too nitpicky, just tried to be thorough wherever possible:
- Opening text seems to be in need of some minor editing. We're both non-native speakers so maybe we're off on this entirely but it felt to me like there are some commas missing here and there within the story text.
- The room lighting in the opening area seems ''off'' somehow on the part of the wall near the newspaper clipping (the wall tile with the crack on it). That particular wall seems to be a lot brighter than the other areas around it, but the rest of the wall's lighting kinda feels like it 'flows' together into each other pretty well (if that makes any sense), making that one brighter spot kind of stand out in an unnatural way
- Are both those 2 reddish objects supposed to be collected in order to make the wall in the staircase room come down? During some runs I collected both of 'em, during others I collected neither of 'em and during one run I only managed to collected one of 'em cuz it wouldn't let me pick up the other  but each time the wall would come down anyway (or would already be down by the time I made it into the staircase room)
- Talking about that same wall in the staircase room, even after it's gone all the way down standing where it was originally supposed to be still brings up a ''Push'' prompt that doesn't do anything anymore
- Weird interaction in the upstairs room following the staircase area: there's a wall that seems to have white light of some sort coming out from underneath it. During some runs I was able to somehow pass through and it opened up into another area, but during others nothing happened and I ended up running out of time instead while trying to figure out how i managed to get through lol.
- Gf: It might look cooler if the ghostly apparitions would be slightly more animated than they are now (even if it's just lightly hovering up or down) 
- Gf: The walls in some areas (most notably the upstairs area after you climb the spiral staircase) appear to be floating in midair instead of actually being attached to the floor 
- Gf: The carpet texture on the  floor in the starting area kind of looks awkward in its current state, there are ways to make it look less like they're separate squares of carpet and more like it's one long connected piece 
 
Hope this somewhat helps!

No one asked me but I'll continue to post and badly translate italian Corona memes. (the ones understandable to not italian people at least, sadly there are some truly hilarious ones that needs layers of italian cultural/pop knowledge one can have only by living here)

Dutch news reporting that students from two of our medical unis discovered a potential antibody against the virus. Apparently there's also talk about Chinese experts flying out to Italy to help people out there in some ways but our own news is making no mention of it as of yet & is instead focusing more on the AAAH PUBLIC LIFE IS SHUTTING DOWN HELP ME-angle so idk more about that. 
 
Full retards here are pillaging the toilet paper reserves as well and the news photos even showed pics of emptied out racks of sunglasses for... some reason???
