Speaking of the garage... can I please live (without the mist, ofc) where gasoline only costs as much as in this city?
I've no clue how much that is in metric volume and metric currency...Speaking of the garage... can I please live (without the mist, ofc) where gasoline only costs as much as in this city?
Without things like cellphones, you'd expect this to be set in the 1960s or something.
Never played it. I didn't like the sound of the overview, doesn't seem like a story i'd enjoy so haven't touched it. Can't comment on how depressing it is. Haven't played the other one either, N&T.
It's similar to this, but less fog and more zombies. Also more unaffected people than we've seen in this one so far. In some ways it feels like an earlier attempt at this, but it's completed - and lots longer.
I always compare Toxicity with Silent Hill while N&T would be more like Resident Evil.It's similar to this, but less fog and more zombies. Also more unaffected people than we've seen in this one so far. In some ways it feels like an earlier attempt at this, but it's completed - and lots longer.
If you're liking this one I'd give N&T a go at some point.
I did laugh when they casually walk by an abandoned car in the fog, lamenting how it probably won't work and isn't worth the effort to even try getting into or starting it, and it's a goddamn fuckin' Audi R8 supercar.Speaking of the garage... can I please live (without the mist, ofc) where gasoline only costs as much as in this city?

Marisa had one of those in TID too. Looked kind of weird in the driveway next to MC's Hyundai.
Yeah, I noticed that. At least it's not Hollywood blowing up a Bugatti or Pagani "for the film".
Well, Marisa was the scion of an ultrarich family, right? And MC was decidedly not...
N&T is a masterclass of a novel in this field, its just so impeccably well made. It's a bit dated nowadays, but if you want a genuinely good apocalypse/post apoc story its fantastic. ILS really set the bar with that one. Nothing has even came remotely close to that in terms of flat out writing for me. Granted there are still REALLY good ones out there that make up in other departments but N&T has just such a raw authentic feel to it that ILS really loves to deliver, even with Toxicity, he can really make everyone seem human. Like if you meta-read the stories, how the writing comes off is a bit cringe, but its not exaggerated, over the top, or overbearing in any way, like when mc says "a sexy little number like you" sure it sounds cringe outside the scope, but its pretty spot on for the character & personality. The only turn off for some people with N&T would be that he adopted someone after his wife died she was i think she was a teenager, and she harbored feelings for him as time went on. Double edged sword cause also a turn on for people lol. But the main draw of N&T is literally the title "Now = post apocalypse" "Then = Pre-apocalypse"

I'm definitely a huge fan
I think at least some of that is the witches' mindfuckery - but that's just speculation at this point...
Let em'. Blowing up a Honda Accord or Toyota Corolla is a tragedy, since they're affordable and reliable workhorses people can actually obtain and use. But hypercars are toys for people who have more money than sense, and certainly don't need. So yeah, blow up those bourgeois status symbols all day; they can afford it.Yeah, I noticed that. At least it's not Hollywood blowing up a Bugatti or Pagani "for the film".
It's bad enough that money gets wasted making cars that are pointlessly extreme rather than actually usable more than twice by some rich person. It just heaps on the waste by destroying them as well. I already hate the wasted resources for making that type of thing; I hate it twice as much that the waste then gets compounded.
Well, who would even 'waste' money actually destroying them? Either you're using CGI and nothing actually got destroyed, or you're wrecking a CGI-enhanced facsimile. Nobody is actually totaling a functional Pagani; at most you're smashing up a Pagani-looking shell that's missing 95% of the internals. We're long past the Dukes of Hazard and their cavalcade of disposable 1969 Dodge Chargers (and even then, the ones they wrecked in stunts were not the pristine condition ones they used for close ups).It's bad enough that money gets wasted making cars that are pointlessly extreme rather than actually usable more than twice by some rich person.

I was on the same wavelength with that, but I think the witch only affects men, its speculation too, but just a hunch. I think the idea is to lure men to her, so she can turn them into burned ones, which if there IS multiple witches and the females do turn into witches primarily then it would make sense, since they just jet them as they get close with their human-like appearance and turn them. Especially considering the ratio of regular turned burned ones vs witches.I think at least some of that is the witches' mindfuckery - but that's just speculation at this point...
