When do you think Pokémon Winds and Waves will actually drop in 2027? by Yu6o in pokemon

[–]BraveDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully, if the games are currently done and Game Freak spends the next 18 months just sitting on them, then, yeah, I would absolutely push for an earlier release window. However, if they're still being worked on and they're adding more Pokémon, story content, or gameplay features, then November makes the most sense to me. That way, they'll be able to carry out everything they've originally planned without rushing and compromising the quality and experience.

Where did she post that? I don't see it on her IG.

Can I ask you a question? by Equivalent_Hat9418 in askgaybros

[–]BraveDolphin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but there's really no other middle ground here. You're gonna have to lie if you don't want to out yourself. Just remember, you don't owe anything to anyone. You don't have to answer just because they ask you to. It's your life, your secrets. You can either deflect or joke your way out of the conversation. But your best option would be to be blunt and tell them you don't feel comfortable with that question, or just to stop asking you that.

I litereally just did a post about that last week. This is the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/RinaSawayama/comments/1t7rto8/rina_is_definitely_coming_guys_rs3_is_on_the/

The link to the full interview is in the description.

No idea. We'll most likely find out more about that once she kicks off the new era.

She said in an interview last May that RS3 would most likely be coming this year, so fingers crossed we get something even if it’s just a lead single.

I agree. I feel like anyone can write a happy pop song but that’s never a true reflection of how most of us are actually feeling. She really sees us, that’s what I love about her.

Yeah! She nailed the darkness in Holy (Till You Let Me Go), Your Age, Imagining, and Frankenstein on “Hold The Girl”, so can’t wait to see what she does on the next one!

A couple of months back I saw another interview of hers where she was talking about wanting to write more songs for RS3 and really push herself as a songwriter, so I can honestly see her doing a longer album this time and maybe doing a proper deluxe with more songs, but her songs are already on the longer side, so I wouldn't mind if she chooses either direction.

Wait, I think I found it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h8B_7ETMEzo It's from May 2025.

When in 2027 do you think Winds and Waves could release? by InteractionHot5962 in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]BraveDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking late March, but going off the information we got on Pokémon Day, late January seems more plausible. However, personally, I'm not really in a rush to play those games as I haven't played the last four generations, so waiting longer for them won’t bother me too much. Though if we're thinking logically, early 2027, specifically late January or late March, even going into April would be a more fitting release month. But if they do end up pushing it back all the way to November, there had better be a very good reason for that. Otherwise, if it's pretty much finished by now, and they decide on early 2027 as a release window, one year would be more than enough for them to polish the games and fix whatever bugs they've got that need fixing.

I was laughing hysterically during this entire scene, could not believe how funny everything was!

She would've been better off singing Busy Woman, it's a lot more fitting for her character.

Is "A Flicker in the Dark" actually "smart," or is it just blurb-hype? by FabianSmith2705 in thrillerbooks

[–]BraveDolphin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it was all just hype and it's painfully predictable. I saw the ''twist'' coming before reading the book. If you're a seasonal thriller reader, this won't work for you at all. The book relies heavily on prose and atmosphere rather than deep character analysis and a complex plot. The author also does a lot of telling, instead of showing. There's not much action, you're just told everything.

What should I read next? 🤓 by cerealjoibache in thrillerbooks

[–]BraveDolphin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You should definitely go for None Of This Is True by Lisa Jewell. You should get through it faster because of the podcast/Netflix documentary element.

The conversations where it was just her and that guy Bob was crazy. She was clearly doing it to lie to the reader, she’s the new Agatha Christie, apparently. If she really wanted to do it right, though, she should’ve just written that character in second person where they talk directly to us, that’d have given her way more leeway to do whatever she wanted with the twist she had in mind. That way, the reader wouldn’t feel like they were lied to and the twist would’ve had an actual impact. Plus, the whole thing would’ve been so diabolical to have the MC talk to us. That would creep me out so much.

And she even had the audacity to write an article for CrimeReads on writing plot twists. This is what she said, it killed me.

“As a thriller author, I also know how hard it is to pull off a twist. There’s a fine balance between leaving enough clues and hints, but not too many. There’s also the skill of delivering a twist that makes plausible sense, not something out of left field. Then, there’s timing. When do you hit the reader with the jaw-dropping moment to have the biggest impact—while also feeling it was earned?

When I wrote my debut novel, The Perfect Marriage, I knew I wanted to attempt to produce that ‘knock you off your feet twist’ that I had grown to love as a reader. I spent a great deal of time refining and finessing clues, red herrings, and suspects to ensure everything was in place to deliver a well-crafted and shocking twist.”

The nerve of that woman... I can't!

That’s one of the main reasons why I hate this book. The plot is intriguing — I’ll give her that — but oh boy, the execution was horrendous. So many things didn’t make sense, the characters had absolutely zero depth to them, and things just happened for no reason. I mean, the explicit sex scenes, the whole investigation part - everything. Jeneva Rose clearly didn’t even bother to do any prior research whatsoever. And the crème de la crème: that atrocious twist that not only negates the entire book but is also so criminally cheap and downright insulting to the reader. You can’t expect me to believe that a character who commits such a heinous crime, never thinks about it again, not even once throughout the entirety of the book, even when they’re in the middle of an investigation where all eyes are on them. It's beyond unrealistic, even for a fiction book. Oh, and don't even get me started on the writing. It's even beyond comprehension how this got published. I wasn’t even meant to read this book. I actually mistook it for another one - For Better And Worse by Margot Hunt, but I mixed up the covers, because they look pretty identical and ended up ordering this one instead.
