The only thing that could make Mario Kart more stressful is adding Resident Evil-style fixed camera angles to it - so obviously one modder has done exactly that.

Over the years, the Resident Evil series has become famous for more than its horror elements. From Chris Redfield punching a boulder to the cheesy voice acting in the original games, these moments are iconic in their own right. But the one that older fans will know and love is the infamous “Jill sandwich” line.
Now, that has pretty much become a reality, thanks to user tombraidermods. Essentially, their mod allows you to play the original Resident Evil game as Jill, only now she’s decked out to look like a giant sandwich, thus fulfilling Barry’s prophecy.
It doesn’t get much Jill-Sandwich-ier than this. Nothing else seems to change about the game, other than putting the STARS agent in between two slices of bread.
Maybe this needs a little bit of explanation for those who don’t get the reference. See, in the first installment of Resident Evil, Jill Valentine is almost crushed by a slow-falling ceiling. However, she’s saved at the last second by her colleague Barry Burton.
Upon rescuing her from what would almost certainly be a horrifying death, Barry flippantly says that she almost became a “Jill sandwich.” Much mirth is had by both the zombie-shooting agents.
Okay, maybe you had to be there. The point is, this mod turns that one, classic line into something literal. It’s hard to say whether being wedged between two large slices of white makes taking on the hordes of undead cumbersome, but at least it gives the zombies something to much on that isn’t Jill’s brains.

Say what you will about the likes of Resident Evil 4, its iconic B-movie cheese means it’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. However, there’s being flippant about certain aspects of your IP and…whatever’s going on with this mod.
While there’s nothing wrong with playing the remake of Resident Evil 4 as intended, some have been hoping for a first-person view. The VR update does allow for that, but now there is a mod for those that don’t have a headset but still want a first-person RE4 experience.
Speedrunning is, from my own outsider’s perspective, an impressive effort in constantly chasing new goals. At first, runners might try to simply finish a game as fast as possible. Then, they might try to fully finish it, or complete certain objectives, or hit credits with limiters on themselves. It’s that last bucket that CarcinogenSDA’s run of Resident Evil 2 Remake at AGDQ 2024 falls under.
A Resident Evil 2 speedrunner has done the unthinkable and beaten the game on Hardcore difficulty without taking any damage whatsoever - but it was a stressful journey.
