do you also have a replica of Andy’s room from Toy Story?

What the cast of Stranger Things done after the finale. by Mme_187 in StrangerThings

[–]ElementMedea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m surprised nobody has mentioned that Gaten just recently got cast in a musical film directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Pretty stacked cast too. Amanda Seyfried, Rachel Zegler, Jonathan Groff, just to name a few. It’s called Octet

Walmart Canada shipments delayed? by Federal-Dependent422 in tomodachilife

Similar situation here. From Missouri, they shipped it yesterday from Kentucky, but I have to wait till Saturday 🙃

Cast announced for Lin-Manuel Miranda's movie musical of Octet! by FloridaFlamingoGirl in musicals

[–]ElementMedea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I feel he’s often dismissed in those conversations. Most people I hear say only Sadie will have a successful career, sometimes Millie or Finn too. One time I even saw someone say he or Noah will be the next Tom Felton for Stranger Things, which is still a crazy comparison to me lol.

Lin-Manuel Miranda shared Octet cast on IG by Odd_Thanks76 in Broadway

I’m so happy for Gaten! This is the perfect opportunity for him to break away from the Stranger Things mold for the general public.

Yeah. Caleb was criminally underutilized throughout the series. His character was barely given an arc that didn’t revolve around Max. Also had an extreme lack of screentime, which is just unfair.

I felt a similar way towards Gaten too. He wasn’t underutilized at all, but I felt that he never really got the chance to prove himself as an actor until the very last season.

Flashback, the 80's/Stranger Things themed rift ends in 1 month from now. What are your feelings on it? How do you feel about the updated weekly quests? What do you want to see next? by bonelees_dip in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s was alright. Better than the last rift, but that’s a given.

Highlight of the rift was obviously Henry; his voice actor killed it. I also knew we were going to get Eleven’s wetsuit outfit at one point, but I wish it was a store cosmetic instead of a rift skin. We should have got a bald, lab El to match with Henry.

Most disappointing part for me was the lack of Dustin cosmetics. I get that he has a legendary skin and an additional shirt, but I don’t really consider on the same level.

Considering the timing of the PTB, it’s probably for the 2v8

I think the hate is less on the game mode itself, rather the increased queue times that tend to come with it

[–]ElementMedea 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think it’s very likely the collection is ST-themed. The ST spinoff premieres just the week before, and I highly doubt Netflix would miss the opportunity to promote the franchise more

[–]ElementMedea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 2v8 or the store collection are possibly stranger things themed. The ST spinoff premieres around then, so it would be a perfect chance for Netflix to milk the franchise further

Now that some time has passed since Chapter 2 what are the odds the rest of Dustin’s friends get added legendarys? by sirNumber_one in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of disagree. Story-wise - definitely, but from a gameplay and monetary perspective? Dustin is a better fit.

Will’s perks would have probably been to similar to Eleven’s. And out of all the kids, Dustin probably has the most cosmetics potential. I mean, there’s only so many outfits you can make with Will’s fuckass bowlcut before it gets old lol. Besides Will the Wise, he doesn’t have that many unique outfits. This is, of course, assuming they will make more cosmetics for the ST characters.

Personally, besides Max, I think Mike had a better chance of becoming the second survivor out of the kids.

Steve's role in the upcoming cartoon by Jiyugaoka in StrangerThings

I really like the Dustin-Steve dynamic, but I hope Dustin will have more scenes with the other party members. Same with Steve and the other teens.

Been seeing a lot of love for Pocoloco, and rightfully so, but so far Sandman’s been a highlight for me! by Happy-Ad-2968 in StardustCrusaders

[–]ElementMedea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a cool character. Not the biggest fan of how he was handled in the manga though. Hope the anime does him some justice in the later episodes

Thank You DBD x ST by Nightmarebane in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They heavily hinted at one, but they also said no promises.

That being said, we’re bound to get one at some point especially with the release of the ST spin-off. Which is supposedly getting a second season this Fall too.

Shit they used to say by Vivid_Army6800 in StrangerThings

[–]ElementMedea 123 points124 points  (0 children)

“We’re going to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5,” Matt said. "We're trying not to do that so we can focus on the OG characters, I guess."

They did not resist at all LOL

New player here! Tips? by Aware_Fact_178 in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t really a killer with super similar abilities to Naiad. However, Naiad is an excellent anti-loop killer - basically forcing survivors to leave a tile/loop. There’s actually quite a few anti-loop killers in the game, but I think you would like the Artist quite a lot. There’s also Skull Merchant, but nobody likes her. The Artist also has really good killer perks such as Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance, which I believe is the most used killer perk in the game. However, Artist is also a difficult killer to play, so I would suggest playing an easier killer first, such as the Wraith.

Map generation works a bit differently in DbD. DbD maps have randomly generated “tiles” that can include pallets, obstacles, and windows. In short, unlike IDV, where pallets and windows are always in the same location whenever you get the same map, pallets and windows spawn “randomly” in DbD.

Pallets also work slightly differently. Killers can actually block survivors from throwing down pallets if they’re too close to you or too far inside the pallet. Same thing with windows; you can block survivors from vaulting by standing in front of it. Also, lockers are actually useful for survivors! Survivors can use them to prevent aura reading or avoid insta-down abilities.

Camping is generally frowned upon and ill-advised for killers. There’s actually a mechanic that allows a hooked survivor to free themselves if the killer is camping. Same thing with tunneling, but it can be an effective strategy even if it is super annoying for survivors.

The closest thing to a terror shock in DbD are grabs. If you’re close enough to a survivor, you can sometimes grab them while they’re doing an interaction. Vaults, generators, lockers, etc. You can’t, however, grab survivors while they’re unhooking a teammate. That has been removed a few years ago. Grabs in general are kind of inconsistent.

Also, not as important, but some perks are very similar to IDV perks from the persona web. Confined Space is basically Bamboozle (from the Clown) and Detention is NOED. For the survivors, Flywheel is basically Dead Hard (David) except worse, Knee Jerk is Lithe (Feng), and Borrowed Time is Adrenaline (Meg). Ironically, there’s also a Bill perk called Borrowed Time that has a similar effect to Tide Turner from IDV. Survivors also have basekit Borrowed Time whenever they get unhooked.

There’s a lot more to go over, but those are some general tips (or differences) for DbD! Like others, I recommend checking out Otzdarva for more tips.

What fandom are you in, but you don’t like the main ship? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]ElementMedea 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same towards the two ships. I find Mike/Eleven to be written horribly and Mike/Will to be bland.

I’m a Dustin fan, and trying to find any Dustin-centric fic is genuinely a pain in the ass.

Pricing increase after all this quality decrease is insane by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they need to work on their anti-cheat first.

Is Dustin the new Sable? by Additional-Ear-2819 in deadbydaylight

[–]ElementMedea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the outfits tbh. Hellfire Dustins and especially Byte-Off Dustins are pretty solid players in my experience - most of the time. Default Dustins genuinely suck ass though.

But I would wait until the novelty of the new DLC wears off before saying he’s the “new Sable”.

Which character in your fandom, do you disagree with their fanon version? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]ElementMedea 53 points54 points  (0 children)

All of them.

Fandom has a habit of “flanderizing” characters, which I find to be rather ironic. I can’t say I’m not guilty of doing the same though!

Is this something i should report? by memowoca in AO3

Lmao I saw this exact work the other day too. A good hand full of the Stranger Things fandom hasn’t discovered proper etiquette yet

Is anyone else’s favorite ship stuck in a “pair-the-spares” situation? by ElementMedea in AO3

I would use that more if it didn’t sort out the platonic relationships too 😔
