MODERATORS
A Quiet Place is just one of those movies that withstands zero scrutiny. How do those creatures hear regular noises from miles away, but can’t hear breathing or a heartbeat in the same room? How did no one think to try sonic attacks on the creatures with super sensitive hearing before a girl got hearing aid feedback? How did they build all that stuff to be silent without making noise in the first place? If the waterfall and other noisy areas are safe, why don’t they live there? Why I’m the hell would they have a baby in a world where you can’t make noise?
Thumpers from Dune but with bombs in them.
Cluster munitions but with small Bluetooth speakers that can cover a city.
Unattended rock concerts in football stadiums that are then targeted by sub-launched missiles.
Suicide bombers with a dead man’s switch that just run in a circle yelling “Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”
So this?
I've never seen that before but the gameplay seems so familiar. Like Duke Nukem.
Oh man this brings back memories! I’ve completely forgotten about Serious Sam. Thanks for reminding me!

“But it’s not practical to live by a waterfall!”
Ok, but Spotify has whole playlists of waterfall white noise that could be rigged up on speakers.
As far as the baby goes…assuming you’re a man…you live in a world where you and Emily Blunt are the only two adults around and you may not have a steady stream of birth control. You’re having a baby.
You just have to have sex very very quietly…
The quiet game was strong in this one.
Also the creatures themselves are moving pretty noisily , so how are they not constantly swarming over each other?
We only exist today because our ancestors figured out how to have babies in a world where you can’t make noise.
Humans have natural predators and the ability to stay silent is already a big deal in our evolution.
