Also it really cannot be overstated just how beautiful the intro is. From the music to the visuals to the lore to the vibe, easily one of RE’s best cinematics ever.

i don't really have much hope. Science gives me hope and so do my friends. But otherwise? idk, the world is a depressing and bleak place.
I'll generally post about science, bc it's one of my only sources of hope. And i'll stand up to fascism how I can. but idk. Sucks how much humanity hates itself.

Disabled people are not expendable.
The elderly are not expendable.
Children are not expendable.
Worth should never be tied to economic productivity.
If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.
