I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Does it emulate well? I've not tried DS emulation, though I've always wondered how things like the microphone stuff work through emulation.
Fairly easily. Microphone input is both easily faked with a special hotkey and can also be set up to use your standard audio recording devices. If you're using a laptop, you have one of those. Notebooks come standard with a webcam and mic pretty much universally these days.

I've always been bad at FPS games, which is why I stayed away from RE7. I started playing it and am all in on the ambiance and story - how stingy is the game with ammo? I got to the first fight after you get your gun and....yeah, I'm going to be missing a lot. :(

Technically, there's tons of it everywhere. The only problem is that unlike earlier Resident Evil games, RE7 actively goes out of its way to hide it. You can find boxes of ammo (and more) in the most unlikely corners, but hardly anything is just lying out in the open for you to find. How much of a problem that is depends more or less on your own patience for that kind of thing. Psychostimulants give you temporary item-find Xray vision, so I recommend keeping a few of those around.

It's not working out too well...
Question: when I finish Jill's campaign in RE1: Director's Cut, should I then play through Chris' campaign? From what I've read, it sounds like you have to jump through more hoops in Chris' campaign, in that you lose two inventory spaces, need to find small keys instead of using a lockpick, and you need Rebecca to solve certain puzzles. The trade-off is that Chris has more health and can run faster, and can score more critical hits, which I imagine means he needs less ammo.

It sounds like it's more tedious than Jill's campaign, but is it recommened/suggested to get the full Resident Evil experience?

imo no, it's not. But I guess it depends on how much you're enjoying it and how anxious you are to move on to the next game. iirc Chris's story doesn't have much in the way of goofy lines like Jill's interactions with Barry, and as you have noticed, it's really just "the harder story". But if you're enjoying the playthrough you might as well give it a try and if you're not into it move on

Chris' story has very little...story. Rebecca is around here and there but mostly it's just hard mode gameplay with almost no character intractions or plot development.

If you like RE1's gameplay, sure. If not, move on.

Although Rebecca's death is the single funniest line delivery in RE1. And that's truly high praise

I think you might as well, just for completeness' sake. I mean, let's be honest, RE1 is by no means a very long game, it's not exactly a major effort. I would really not recommend doing Chris' scenario first, because of all the things you mentioned, but on a second playthrough, when you're already familiar with the layout of the mansion and know what you need to get when and where, most of that ends up not mattering as much as you'd expect. I think that as the B-route to Jill's playthrough, it works fine.

Also, it's the more Wesker-centric scenario and it's honestly just really funny to watch him develop his iconic hate-boner for Chris practically in real-time.

No joke, the room where you get your first lot of psychostimulants acts like a wake-up call to fastidiously check every nook, cranny, rear end in a top hat, for resources. Health, mixing chemicals, gunpowder, there's so much of it tucked away in the environment that you should really get into the habit of just walking/crouch-walking the perimeter of rooms to find supplies.

Oh wow! It's a mod for the PC version of Resident Evil. I didn't think that would work on Windows 10, but I was able to download the mod, unzip it, and run it. The default keyboard controls are iffy, but I should be able to get the gamepad set up with it. You can also skip door transitions. :toot:

Looking at the version info (from trying to figure out the keys and hitting the F1 key), it apparently uses a mod called 'Classic REBirth'. Looks like there are also patches for RE2 and Dino Crisis (and the RE2 prototype, strangely).

It seems like there's actually a lot of mods for the Resident Evil games. I think I saw one other day that recreates RE1 in RE4. Are there any others worth checking out for the classic games? (I'm aware of the like two hundred Mr.X and costume mods for the RE2Make and RE3Make)

They just added RE7 to gamepass, maybe it has something to do with that? I might actually play RE7 now but I gotta be honest, it just does not look like any fun to me. Just slow, plodding movement and slow plodding enemies. Uh oh its winding up an attack! Better sidestep it! Seems like playing it outside of VR is going to be a waste of time.

You know those cat eyes had to be special order by Wesker. Birkin loves his eyeballs, but glowing cat eyes aren't a thing that just spontaneously happens in a virus that gives you superpowers without any other visible mutations.
