TopicWhy Do A Lot Of People Treat "Depression" Like A Joke?

Because the word depression refers to multiple things, and frankly most people just don't 'get' what clinical depression actually means

I quit for about 6 months earlier this year but the thing is, I really like smoking outside when it's cold out. I find it super relaxing before bed, so as soon as winter rolled around I stupidly started smoking again.

The entire art design of the game was a workaround for technical issues

thats why I don't get why this would improve it
It's not complicated. Modern systems are able to handle lighting, shadows and volumetric fog exponentially better than the PS1 could, so those would be used as actual visual elements instead of just being a convenient way to cover for technical shortcomings. Shitty PS1 graphics aren't what made SH scary

I'm not sure it would.

Resident Evil was always dumb "action" horror that got off on gameplay and graphics.

Updating the same concept with better graphics worked because it just was better framework.

Silent Hill is more psychological horror based on running away and character's psyche. Doing it in modern HD with great effects doesn't really effect any of it.

I mean if all you want a lazy slapdash of random horror set pieces like PT. Then yeah it's for you but the early Silent Hill games had more depth than that.

I don't see what a remaster would add to a immersion based game that was designed based on the technology of the time. SH1 was by design intended to have awkward as fuck controls, voice acting and fog everywhere so you can't see.

Better design, good voice acting, less fog and stunning 3D detail to tell the same story wouldn't really add anything.

Hell they tried this on the Wii with Shattered Memories which while fine as a game the graphics update, removal of combat and better character models/controls didn't add anything.
I couldn't disagree more tbqh. The RE2 remake actually accomplished being scary, something no other RE except RE7 had managed to pull off. If SH were done in the same style it could ratchet up all the good scary stuff SH had even more, because the production values would actually be able to keep up with the art direction this time. Graphics were always one of SH's weak points IMO, and the types of animation, lighting, modeling, etc they're capable of now, not to mention many more years of horror games to draw inspiration from would do quite a lot for it I think. Advanced lighting and shadow techniques would be way better than that ubiquitous fog too, but modern games are also capable of doing fog much better than games on the PS1 could. On PS1 it was a workaround for technical issues. On modern systems it would be an intentional part of the art direction.

Hummus is weird

Guac is only good if the ingredients are super fresh and mixed that day. Store bought is gross.
You have to study the label closely. Most store-bought guacamole dip doesn't even have that much avocado in it, but there are some that are legit

Not at someone else's request, but in the past I have voluntarily worked unpaid overtime in the interest of hitting deadlines. My boss does not and would not ask me to do this under any circumstances, but I have a vested interest in getting things done on time and sometimes I just choose to bite the bullet in order to make things less stressful in the long run.

For me the appeal is mostly in exploring the spaces and time periods they give you. I find AC's worlds to be super detailed and interesting, and I have a tendency to finish AC games with only a vague idea of what the actual plot was. It's why I can sit here and praise Unity as one of my favorites in the series, because that game's version of Paris during the French Revolution was one of the most impressive settings I've seen in a game. I don't even play them like AC games, I favor strolling around the streets rather than parkouring across rooftops
