Todd Howard, Peter Molyneux, and David Cage walk into a bar. This joke is now a completely underwhelming interactive experience and I'm sorry if you expected something better.

Outfit so good Jen Bartel came back to Twitter after 2 years

this 10 years old culture war shit has lost all meaning and reached the point of insanity, the pink haired girl with pronouns and a woke cut is what male gamers want, and a blonde nordic wife and mother is considered woke nonsense sonnnn

@geckotailzz Oh no, I am half these genders, help

After seeing Obsession I told a friend "I don't want my next film to be ambiguous. I want to spell things out and tell a straightforward story like that!"

But since then I've seen so many theories about how "Sarah is the REAL villain" or "This movie is about how women are crazy"

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@LimesSriracha @beansamwich @ShayWoulahan That too! A million things could have happened, so I'm not trying to be too autistic about it. I just don't think it's a scene designed to make you dislike Baron or hint at his selfish personality.

@btmdth @beansamwich @ComicsMeta This sympathy then is used against the audience as the film reveals the kind of person the protagonist actually is by subverting expectations.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@btmdth @beansamwich @ComicsMeta I wouldn't even question this particular line of thinking RE: negligence but the focus on the mirror not shutting for 3 - 4 attempts, even after being slammed. This is in a deliberate visual storytelling device from the director. It's to illicit sympathy because of his bad luck.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @btmdth @ComicsMeta I guess if you're gonna QT me we can pick this back up. Tell me the reason the director chooses to provide a retrospective clue by dwelling on the medicine cabinet not closing. That's all I'm asking here. Is it so far fetched there was an improperly sealed bottle in a cabinet?

Happy Pride Month.

Yall are all about praising indie horror until u watch the shit not released in theatres 😭

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

So, like, no. Bear didn't secretly kill Sandy to get sympathy from Nikki. He didn't randomly take his grandma's oxycodone and leave it on the kitchen table. It certainly wasn't just sitting around open for weeks after his grandma's death untouched by the cat until the opening.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

I feel like I could write an entire Medium essay about how the cat's death in Obsession doesn't have some deeper meaning to clue you in that Baron is "bad". The film goes out of its way to show you that the medicine cabinet doesn't close. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

Like, fan theories are fun and all, but the film wouldn't be showing you the medicine cabinet doesn't close. This is a type of retrospective clue that enables you to deduce what happened. There's no other reason to dwell on a cabinet not shutting after 3 - 4 attempts.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan Do we know it was child proof (you can request easy open, maybe his grandma did?) Do we know if the lid was fully tightened properly? Isn't it just as plausible a half sealed bottle of was in a medicine cabinet with a faulty door? Does it need to be more than a tragic accident?

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan I don't think you're supposed to be taking oxycodone for insomnia btw.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan This sounds like a skill issue. Maybe you should watch a cat for tips?

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan She got the bottle out of the open cabinet, played around with it because it rattled (thus the knocked over food indicating zoomies), this eventually caused it from opening due to impact. You've never seen a cat play with a random noisy plastic object before?

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan It feels weirder to assume Baron's dead grandma's pills have been sitting around open for a while and the cat HADN'T gotten into them until the start of the movie imo.

[Dracula Spelled Backwards @Linktm]

@beansamwich @ShayWoulahan I genuinely think the people who think this isn't possible have never owned a clever cat before. When Baron goes to put away the pills she had opened, the film makes a point to show you the cabinet doesn't shut properly.
