We're back with a one off poll ahead of Resident Evil's 30th anniversary next month.
Rank as many mainline (see image for what counts) Resident Evil games as you wish. If you strongly dislike a game, it is better not to rank it at all.
If you need help ranking, see follow-up tweet

Right, just finished the whole thing. Despair Arc mostly good, Future Arc mostly meh, both should have been shorter so that the Hope "Arc" was more than a single episode
A few episodes into Danganronpa 3 (the sequel anime, not the game)
Thoughts on the Future Arc so far: Boy, you can really tell Zero Escape was made by the same company
Thoughts on the Despair Arc so far: what the fuck?

Started with the adaptation of the first game, and it's making me appreciate how well localised the game was. Stuff like translating "Super High School Level" to "Ultimate". It loses some of its meaning, but the more accurate translation in English is just a mouthful

This is how Labour talk about trans people behind our backs yet insist they’re the party of equality and we have no choice but to vote for them, btw
This is so infuriating. There was quite a big debate over ruling out tax rises! Rachel Reeves just shut it down by answering every single bloody time "well, being in government would be a nice problem to have"!!!

Knives are fun!
As the saying goes, the winner of the knife fight is the one that dies on the way to the hospital, but in WW1 you're not getting to one, so when you think about it EVERYONE is a winner!

Besides anything else, wouldn't those trench knifes have been most useful affixed to a gun?
Wow, I don’t know who this guy is but he sounds incredibly cool. What a badass! SWOON.

Had forgotten about this angle. Dreading another summer of racist “protests” with Starmer hiding in a cupboard
Just occurred to me that, if Labour MPs wait until *after* the 2026 locals to move on Starmer, then he’d still be PM for most of next summer (assuming there wasn’t a coronation in the race to replace him) when it inevitably all kicks off again

The answer to this is that if we do not repeatedly reinforce the taboo against this stuff and explain why it is wrong it gets worse. “Just call it names” does not work. We’ve seen the failure of that over the past 18 months.
Jim Ratcliffe is a completely useless idiot which we can see from the joy of Amorim, why take the clown seriously? Honestly just tell the twat to fuck off.

im gonna be the first person to perfectly articulate a complex thought that addresses every single avenue of approach and leaves out no edge cases in 300 characters or less. many millions have been trying to do this for years. all of them wasted, because i'm about to do it for the first time

Watching Andor with the rents, finally just caught up to where I got to when I binged it whilst Season 1 was still being released ("never more than 12"). Never got round to watching the rest

I'm ok with (or have made my peace with) a bit of editing after you've taken a photo, but the cameras that manipulate the image before even saving it cross a line imho
One of my more pessimistic beliefs is phone photos won't be acceptable as evidence in court by the end of the decade

This reminds me, I hate how common it is now to advertise phone cameras with features that defeat the point of a photo being to capture a specific moment in time
My number one hobby is ruining event’s “in the moment” photos by smiling directly at the camera

I have a DSLR specifically because phone camera auto-processing is so overwhelming to the experience of taking a photo
I used to love taking photos as a kid, but when phones became the replacement for entry-level photography it wasn't the same, and until I borrowed a DSLR I didn't realise quite why

Incidentally, this has reminded me of when I got blocked on here for arguing with the David Graeber Institute that "Logistics Manager" wasn't a "bullshit job". I hope every one of them is waiting on a vital package from Southern Texas.
All this speculation about the potential horrid things the airspace closure around El Paso could signifiy, and all I can think of is the logistics managers having the *worst* day and week of their lives.

I'm still deeply sceptical, tbh, I just also recognise the exact same groupthink that leads BlueSky to be collectively wrong about other things
From replies to this, I do think BlueSky AI scepticism is massively overcorrecting, and there's also a fair amount of delusion that the hurt from the bubble popping will fall squarely on the companies responsible, rather than just being a brutal global recession
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
