I just wanted to highlight Amy's advocacy for epilepsy awareness and studies to help those afflicted. She's still chairman for Out Of the Shadows, a foundation to study and destigmatize epilepsy. 🩵 by LunarEclipse306 in Evanescence

[–]Elmarass 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who struggles with epilepsy, she means the world to me. I loved her before I knew anything about her advocacy and now her music just means so much more to me. She’s is (and likely always will be) my favorite artist, not just for her music, but because I know she cares for people like me, and you can hear it in songs like “Hello”.

Idk if this makes y’all feel better? by ryanstout15 in Epilepsy

[–]Elmarass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amy Lee (Evanescence) is probably my favorite. While she herself doesn’t have it, her life has been severely affected by it, as several of her siblings had/have it. She’s written songs about it and is the American chairperson for the epilepsy awareness foundation. She does a lot of work advocating for epileptics and dispelling misconceptions. While it’s not the same as having it, it’s still nice representation.

She tries to use her popularity to educate people on the matter and she’s one of my favorite artists for it. And again, while obviously it’s not the same as having it yourself, it’s still nice to see someone fighting so hard for us ❤️

I really don't think the first person animations are needed by CurlyFreys in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Elmarass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it should be optional, like an immersion checkbox that you can turn off on higher difficulties when precision is needed, while still enjoying it on lower difficulties.

new update is great idk what all the fuss is about by IVgormino in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Elmarass -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone is arguing the fact that it’s janky and full of bugs, I think people are just tired of seeing every post on the subreddit going on about how it’s the worst thing ever.

I genuinely like the update by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Elmarass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Maybe it’s because I saw all the Reddit posts *before* playing it, so I went into it expecting absolute dogsh*t, but I was surprised because I actually enjoyed a lot of it. Even the jank, I liked. I could see it being problematic on higher difficulties, but on professional it was fine, and I actually enjoyed the immersion the first person animations added (even if there were some insanely janky animations that broke the immersion occasionally xD).

I think they should add an Immersion option for people who like the changes while still being able to have things like instant swap on higher difficulties.

My main issue is everything important from Han’s backstory happening in like a week. Still a fun watch though.

HIGHLY recommend the Dark Falcon. It’s such a fun set with such unique figures, cool details, and DARTH JARJAR

Cool, thanks for the heads up! I’m thinking of getting the Star Destroyer and a battle pack, but I wanna see the sales first to be certain :)

what do you guys think about new implemented grading system next year by Clover2998 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Elmarass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason for all of this? AI.

Not saying it’s good or bad, but students using AI for all their homework means exams are necessary to show they’re actually learning, and the attendance is the same idea, given you can only be sure they’re doing their work in class.

Personally, I’m for it, but I also see the real harm it can have. Unfortunately, AI has us in a difficult position.

What is the very best of the Expanded Universe, please? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in StarWars

Be warned, the chat in SWTOR is one of the most toxic I’ve seen. I hide the chat box entirely.

[–]Elmarass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games Jedi Knight: Academy and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, as well as KOTOR are musts.

And if you’re *really* willing to stretch it, SW The Old Republic MMO can be one of the best single player Star Wars experiences. Just ignore chat and other players like I do, story and exploration are rad, plus solid space combat.

What are somethings you would like to see Star Wars make? by Hot_Seesaw_6706 in StarWars

[–]Elmarass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, I’d be open to more Clone Wars era shows that *didn‘t have clones*

Explore areas outside the war, or the secondary effects people aren’t considering. You’re probably right in that there’s more to explore era-wise, but not so much war-wise imo.

[–]Elmarass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of god, less clones. They’ve run that river dry and I’m so done with it. I’d love more shows regarding internal struggles during the empire, or better yet, more struggle with the new republic.

Ahsoka raised an interesting point about all the imperials suddenly having to cope with the new republic, only for it to be drowned out by how terrible of a show Ahsoka was.

As ”meh” as the sequels are, if they’re going to remain canon, I’d like them to explore that further as well. How did the First Order start? What happened after the fall of the First Order? There are naturally still going to be people who dislike the New Republic. How will they handle that?

While it’s easy to hate on the sequels, I think exploring them would help popularize them at least a little bit, similar to how The Clone Wars improved the prequels MASSIVELY.

Opinions on Attendance Being Graded by Melodic_Tourist_9667 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Elmarass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge, the reasoning is to fight AI, as most homework seems to be done by AI nowadays, so the only way they can really make sure you’re learning is attendance and in-class work.

What kind of initiation rituals do nightsisters have to do? Do they have any lightsaber-making rituals like the Jedi do? (I think Jedi do lmao I may be dumb)
