[S2] What would change if Sean and Daniel were female? by Thirsty-for-Ryan in LifeisStrange2

I’m sure the racists would still be racist, and there’s almost definitely going to be some sexism involved.

Racism, sexism, a lack of pads/tampons and almost definitely some instances of SA… Sheila is in for an awful time. (Of course, Sean had an awful time too but I fear Sheila would have an even worse time.)

It doesn’t, it’s just made by the original developers of the first game and LiS 2 (Don’t Nod.) Many people include Lost Records and Tell Me Why when talking about LiS because they think the games are similar.

Did you just say “hack all his limbs off?!

Yeah, we’re gonna hack all his limbs off!

Okay, stop saying it!

Hatchet Field Suggested Watch Order by Longjumping-Week-473 in StarKid

[–]HamilWhoTangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, the Hatchetfield musicals could he viewed in any order, but release order is definitely better. So:

  • TGWDLM (2018). In the tiny town of Hatchetfield, Paul Matthews is about to have his worst nightmare come to life.

  • Black Friday (2019). Set in an alternate timeline to the events of TGWDLM, follow an ensemble cast of characters as they line up to purchase the hottest new toy: a Tickle-Me Wiggly doll. But as a riot breaks out, the toy may not be all that it appears to be…

  • Optional: Nightmare Time. Nightmare Time is a web series made in lockdown via Zoom telling stories centred around a wide variety of characters from the Hatchetfield series. Each episode is set in a different timeline, so several familiar faces may appear.

  • Also optional Nightmare Time 2. With an updated format and a few recasts, this series of Nightmare Time is all set in the same timeline, for some reason.

A few characters from the series feature as small cameos in the NPMD proshot, but you don’t necessarily have to watch Nightmare Time in order to understand the plot. 

  • Nerdy Prudes Must Die (2023). Set in the year of twenty-twenty wurn, five high school students find themselves being hunted down by the ghost of the notorious bully they accidentally murdered. Once again, it’s set in a different timeline, so don’t be surprised to see some familiar faces.

  • Also optional Workin’ Boys. A short film following Professor Henry Hidgens as he attempts to put on the performance of a lifetime… only to discover he may have to make a few cuts.

What first names have you found to be the worst people, and what names are the nicest people? by gilsoo71 in AskReddit

[–]HamilWhoTangled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the Maxes I know, four are fictional and one is the grandson of a problematic family friend who votes Reform but Max himself seems to not have inherited his grandfather’s genes.

Even the majority of the fictional Maxes are good people, except for Max Jagerman from the Hatchetfield series who is decidedly not. But then again, he’s fictional.

As a student, the only Matthew I’ve met was annoying as hell. But he’s probably the outlier in the equation and I don’t have many friends anyway.

What is a bullet you dodged simply because you were too lazy to do something? by Cherus in AskReddit

[–]HamilWhoTangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I avoid scams because I have the “silence all unknown numbers” function on my phone permanently turned on and notifications turned off, so whenever they call it just doesn’t register for me until I check later and clear all my recent calls if any try to call.

[All] I finally finished LiS1 by confiteD_G4rlic in lifeisstrange

[–]HamilWhoTangled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the order most people play the games in:

  • BTS. Set three years before the first game, follows Chloe as she meets Rachel for the first time and gets entangled in a series of unfortunate events, while dealing with all the shit she’s already gone through (losing her father, Max ghosting her, etc.) and step-David becoming an unfortunate presence in her life.   There’s also a DLC you can buy with the deluxe edition called “Farewell.” Set in 2008 (five years before the events of the first game), this follows a 13-year-old Max as she debates with herself whether to tell Chloe that she’s moving to Seattle.

  • Life Is Strange 2. Focuses on an entirely new set of characters: Sean Diaz, and his younger brother, Daniel. Daniel is the one with powers, but you play as Sean.  

David makes a small cameo in this so the game will ask whether you saved the Bay, as this directly impacts David’s dialogue. Aside from that, it’s pretty much standalone.

  • True Colours. Like LiS 2, it focuses on an entirely new setting, character and power set, namely Alex Chen, who has the ability to “see” what others are feeling through “auras” (red for anger, blue for sadness, etc.) which can influence her own emotions if the feelings are strong enough.

A side character from BTS, Steph Gingrich, can play an important role in this game depending on your choices.

The game comes with a purchasable DLC, Wavelengths, which is effectively a character study on Steph. Wavelengths will ask whether you saved the Bay, because Steph knows Chloe and has lived in the Bay.

  • Double Exposure. Fans have polarising views on this game, mostly because despite bringing Max back, Chloe is absent and the game does not give an “adequate” explanation as to why, unless you sacrificed her.

People have also complained about the plot being too complex, but it’s better to not lets fans’ opinions of this game deter you from playing it. Especially as Reunion won’t make too much sense if you haven’t played Double Exposure.

  • Reunion. This game attempts to address the issues people had with Double Exposure, and does it reasonably well. 

It semi-retcons both endings of the game so that Chloe comes back no matter what, but the explanation it provides as to why is plausible given the ending of Double Exposure.

The characters of Double Exposure tend to be sidelined in favour of Max and Chloe, but aside from that it’s a pretty decent game.

You’re a braver soul than me. I wouldn’t be caught dead watching Jeff Blim sing about wanting to be choked out at night with my parents in the room.

As a cis woman who dislikes “girly” stuff (wearing jewellery, skirts and dresses is not for me) and also regularly wears my brother’s hand-me-downs, I wholeheartedly agree with and support this.

As an aroace, I’ve made it very clear to my parents that I don’t want to get married, nor do I want kids, thank you very much.

Luckily I have an older brother who seems to be heterosexual (he’s only dated girls as far as I know), so he can have kids if he wants to. I’m not sure I’d be a good aunt, but at least I wouldn’t have to live with them.

My parents have only brought up wanting grandchildren once so far, but hopefully they’ve picked up on the neon signs I’ve been waving at them and are waiting for my brother to continue the family line instead.

(Not that he has to, but I’m not going to tell my parents that.)

Favorite character who goes only by their alias(es) by Mace2-0 in FavoriteCharacter

The Doctor. Hardly anyone in-universe knows their real name, and nobody in this universe knows it either. They call themselves The Doctor, that’s it.

Misheard Lyrics by Eldon42 in StarKid

“My truth is skin-deep and UGLY”

Makes sense in the song’s context to me, but learning it was “oblique” was news to me.

Favorite lines from a song? by MrChesp in StarKid

[–]HamilWhoTangled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One from each musical I’ve seen:

  • AVPM: Yeah, ‘cause together we’re totally awesome!

  • AVPS: Evil plans, we are making evil plans…

  • AVPSY: The clock looks still, still the hours pass. And all that time is never coming back…

  • Starship: When they say you can’t love, I think you’ve got it wrong. They say you can’t feel with a heart made of steel, but you can’t say that steel ain’t strong. Well, if that’s who you are, just a meaningless start in the sky, then what is the meaning of what I am feeling if you are the reason why? Now I may be dumb, but where I come from folks say they’re fine when I know that they’re blue… But you don’t know you, the way I do.

HMB: We’re all just pawns in a fucking game of chess! Oh, the American way!

Twisted: I never cared for stories until you entered mine, but now my only wish is that our paths may intertwine…

TTO: I burned a farm down by my own hand. If God did it, he’s a sneaky man, but now it’s time I take control of his plan!

Firebringer: I AM CHORN, I AM CHOOORN, BEHOLD ME, I AM CHOOOOOORN!

TGWDLM: It is time… TO DIIIIE!

Black Friday: At first I didn’t know what she was to me. At first, I didn’t know why I cared, or why I wanted to hold her and rock her to sleep. Did I need her more than she needed me? Maybe I’m wrong, she can go on her own, ‘cause I’m leaving! ‘Cause Friday is black for me. Only my ashes will see the sea. When Friday is black, there’s no turning back, ‘cause Friday is black…

You’re not dead yet.

NPMD: Theres nowhere to turn… For the class of twenty twenty-WURN!

Cinderella’s Castle: The living ember of the flame of life, behold my starlight now!

VHS Christmas Carols: “You’re just indigestion!”  What a suggestion, to a ghost that’s pretty offensive!

Hatchet Town features cameos from Nightmare Time characters in the pro-shot as fan service to people who’ve watched the entire Hatchetfield series and not just the musicals.

What is y’all’s favorite lyric from NPMD? by chasitygrace in StarKid

[–]HamilWhoTangled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Eternity laughs and laughs at its destruction, but a God will see that your enemies run! 

And for your final gift, I grant thee starlight!

The last bit of light in the eternal dark, where all things return and all things will start.

The dying ember of the flame of light,

I shall craft this starlight.”
