  • As far as a moral compass goes, I wouldn’t give any money to SoundCloud. Much like YouTube, anyone can create an account and upload music. Obviously if you upload popular copyrighted music, it will likely get taken down quickly. But the less popular it is, the more likely it’ll go under the radar if someone uploads music that isn’t theirs. If you don’t pay for premium, then that music will have ads playing between tracks. The creator of the music won’t see any money from it, I doubt the uploader would either. As it currently stands, SoundCloud profits from stolen music. Personally I feel better pirating music than I would paying for a SoundCloud premium. I honestly don’t understand how GrooveShark got shut down back in the day, yet SoundCloud got to keep running. They are damn near the same exact service.












  • They also reused Pyramid Head. Silent Hill 2 became so iconic in the series that they just brought things specific to James’s experience into other games. There’s been a lot of criticism of that, but also a lot of fans dont seem to mind. Even the original designer of Pyramid Head was disappointed that the character was reused in later games because he designed the character to appear as a manifestation in James’ mind specifically and so the final design was based on James himself. I personally still enjoy the later games myself, but after all of this was pointed out to me I can’t not see it when playing the games or watching the movies lol


  • I liked the movie when it came out and can still enjoy it today. I think the monsters are some of the creepiest in any horror movie. The janitor scene gives me nightmares. However, there was a lot of fan service that didn’t need to be included. Yes Pyramid Head is the most recognizable character in the series, but he really served no purpose being in the movie. Also, the design of the nurses being “sexy” doesn’t make sense. They were designed that way for James in the second game. That was how he saw them. I think they did a really good job for what they managed to pull off from that movie though. I hope they do well with the new one.







  • I would argue they are worse! I had iPhones and a MacBook Pro for years. Switched to Android, Windows, and Linux. Apple is great for people who want a device that just works out of the box, but those devices can’t be tweaked to better fit your personal needs. Many features that have been present on personal devices for decades are blocked on Apple devices. They even make up terms like “side loading” so it sounds like you are doing something immoral. Downloading an application from whatever source of your choosing should be #1 feature of any device. As far as I know, you can only download apps from Apple’s own store now. All iPhone browsers are reskinned Safari. Apple refuses to adopt existing standards so that users feel inclusive when they see blue texts over green. The list feels endless…
