It's more that Hollywood still has very little understanding of and utter contempt for video games, so they pay the least amount of attention they can get away with and shove in the standard formula of the day or whatever half-formed ideas they think will 'make it better'.

It's a kind of shallow/incoherent setup to begin with. To adapt a full, watchable script out of Resident Evil you need to actually fill in a whole load of gaps (and not gently caress that up)

It's easier to just copy-paste the name "Wesker" onto a prewritten bad script. Again

All of the Above.

Is that the Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn? That was a good place to start a bar crawl because they had these little minipizzas that were made on the spot for like $1 each (this was in the late aughts) by some old latino dude who had a station in the bar so you ate a few of those for the price of a beer et voila you're no longer drinking on an empty stomach.

This bar was awesome specifically for the pizzas. Perfect place to be a broke 23 year old trying to catch a buzz.

The character motivations are absolute nonsense. Nobody has any real reason to do anything beyond "that's who they are". Someone compared the show to the MCU and I understand it now.

theyre basically ideologically opposed to the idea of good writing. they are convinced that players will skip it anyway so they completely embrace nothing being good and just solicit random ideas from people in the office. The posed skeletons that everyone makes fun of is the most ambitious they let themselves get.

Mantis42 posted:

the most successful rpg company in gaming doesn't care about story, quests, or worldbuilding.

A resident evil game is not this straight forward move from one place to another linear narrative story like call of duty (that is why their story mode is forgettable and sucks).
Resident Evil is full of back tracking and finding stupid items to open up new ways of back tracking.

What I'm saying is, if 80% of that movie isn't, the character going "Where the hell is the thing!" It isn't the Resident Evil experience.

lol the charity it was for, the Lumos Foundation, is an NGO started and chaired by Rowling that works in developing nations to close orphanages and group homes. Theoretically they are also working on getting the kids in same in stable domestic foster homes but apparently they aren't as good at step 2.

Lumos USA works with policy-makers, philanthropists, faith leaders, likeminded non-profit organizations, and concerned individuals to promote affordable, realistic, family-based alternatives to child institutionalization. We work creatively with our partners to address the root causes of child institutionalization – such as poverty and trafficking – to realize a world in which every child is raised in a loving family.

E: JKR's title on the Lumos site is Founder and President for Life that pwns

Compelled by an article in the Sunday Times newspaper back in 2004 about children being kept in caged beds in an institution, writer J.K. Rowling had the original idea for a charity which would seek to end the institutionalisation of children.And so Lumos, named after the light-giving spell in Harry Potter, was founded to shine a light on some of the world’s most disadvantaged children.

After eight years as chair of the Board of Trustees, J.K. Rowling became Founder and Life President of Lumos in 2014

the main reason billionaires set up charitable foundations like this, apart from tax evasion OBVIOUSLY, is to receive the worship and adoration of the masses, so this absolutely tracks
