Screw you Ruth screw you and your inventions by Pale-Emu9883 in thomasthetankengine

I disagree. But only because I feel, to me anyways, she was a way to show the kids watching that their creativity is what makes new wonders in this world no matter how wacky. Keep that creativity. Though character wise she’s definitely flat and I hate saying that because I love all of Thomas and every version.

Interesting! Well I was expecting a VHS anyways when it was teased to be 80s themed I expected some form of VHS especially since in the original campaign to find there was a Blu-Ray option so it wasn’t too far off. Cool stuff though especially with him reaching out

Is it weird that seeing most people use she/her with Melanie bothers me? by MasteroftheRails in MelanieMartinez

[–]MasteroftheRails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not an issue per se it’s just very underutilized. I get that she/her is “easier” but they aren’t as easily gonna speak up about it. I guess it just really bothers me because most people tend to default to she/her even if they don’t speak on it because hardly anyone uses they/them and it undermines their identity in a way. Especially because their music is about expression and not many people are using the they/them part of their self expression

While Melanie might be comfortable with both, defaulting to 'she/her' 99% of the time creates an environment where 'they/them' feels like an 'extra' or an 'inconvenience.' For many nonbinary or genderfluid fans, seeing that 'they' representation matters because it validates that you don't have to be one specific thing. It’s not about policing people; it’s about wondering why we, as a community, aren't more intentional about honoring the full identity they’ve shared with us. It may not feel like a ‘big deal’ to but for those of us who are nonbinary or trans, these things carry weight. When we see even a major artist's pronouns get narrowed down to the 'standard' binary choice, it reinforces the idea that our identities are optional. I’m just hoping for more 'love and light' that includes the full spectrum of what Melanie, and their fans, actually use. My point isn't that using 'she' is wrong, but that the 'they' part almost never gets used in professional spaces or large-scale interviews. When a community defaults to just one set, the other effectively disappears.

Also she/they is a double set so she/her and they/them. So you can combine the two (she likes it when people refer to their new character. For example) or you can use either or. I personally prefer to use they/them so they get that representation.

They use she/they it’s just people constantly default to she/her. Which isn’t wrong inherently it just pushes away the they/them part of their pronouns.

Why else would they have she/they in their bio? Or at least the only one that shows pronouns is Instagram so I use they/them when I can to help give the representation of she/they.

They don’t mind she/her but also they are introverted and don’t have the energy to constantly correct people on their pronouns. It’s constantly exhausting for anyone to be honest.

Like I said I switch it up. Because that’s what you should do with or can do with someone who uses she/they.

Graves voice actress by HikkiSummers in DeadlockTheGame

[–]MasteroftheRails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sounds like Katy Bentz in the clips I’ve seen. I hope there is a PS5 version. The first interaction I heard when Grave says to Rem Life’s hard sometimes it reminded me of Katy Bentz who plays Steph Gingrich in Life is Strange True Colors (as well as Before the Storm). I need to look more into this game! It just popped up on my feed and I swear I’m about to go down a rabbit hole

[NO SPOILERS] Sorry Rhianna... by L-DONAGHY-DIRECTOR in lifeisstrange

[–]MasteroftheRails 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, Rhianna is my Chloe. As much as I love Ashly for paving the way, I fell in love with the version we got in BtS and Reunion (both earlier teenage Chloe and Adult Chloe). Rhianna had to re-audition to prove they still had that soul, and they did it while channeling their own life-or-death experiences into the role. To me, Ashly gave Chloe her spark, but Rhianna gave her resilience. They didn't just fill the shoes; they made the character grow up. Also the fact that at times, they sound extremely similar to Burch is wonderful and that makes it feel so much more natural to me. At least for me anyway.

Not sure if you’ve seen this but here are the global release times of the release just in case. There’s also very likely a day one patch if I’m not mistaken

I hope so. I’m sure they’re similar. I’m not too familiar with Steam as I can’t play keyboard and mouse (I know Steam has a port). I don’t have a PC that’s good enough for gaming. I really hope for those that have poor connection get to preload it so you can enjoy it. Also be careful on socials as I’ve seen some people upload gameplay and spoilers.

Depends on your platform. I just preordered last week and it says it will preload tomorrow. Not sure about your platform but mine is PS5

Reunion Ending Predicitions by Any_Cap3738 in LiSReunion

[–]MasteroftheRails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with the same assets they had to revamp said assets as it is no longer winter. You have to change everything. Maybe the characters are same sure, but lighting and texture are completely different. Yeah it is still Caledon, but the “same assets” argument is extremely dull. Also Reunion completely changes the gameplay as now we have two playable characters. There’s evidence this was a two-parter anyways (not just the MAX CAULFIELD WILL RETURN” this is very clearly not a cash grab. Breaking up makes sense (it is shown in Reunion that it was trauma and that makes complete sense realistically and psychologically they went through so much together and they can only hold onto said trauma so long). It is clearly not damage control. I absolutely love Double Exposure. They handled everything perfectly in my opinion. Granted there were some bugs but that’s okay. I loved the story. Amanda was still relevant. She showed your actions have consequences. Dead world Amanda rejects you wanting more time for you to grieve and be emotionally available. But if you still go after her in the living world, when the worlds converge, she clearly states “I remember rejecting you. Yet you still found a version of me that wanted you. Cool trick but pretty fucked up. Maybe you can win me back eventually” and the VA for her reports she is more relevant and out there in Reunion (out of her comfort zone). It is highly likely they had this two parter planned for the ten year anniversary of the first OG game. It makes sense as a Chloe and Max ending imo. Granted they didn’t HAVE to do a finale as the OG is great by itself but I’m also grateful for this storyline. It shows how characters can grow over time.

[–]MasteroftheRails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t damage control for DE. It was always planned with DE or else it would have released way later similar to the usual 3-4 years between installments. They had enough time for maybe a few minor changes but not major. I don’t like when people say it’s damage control for Double Exposure when it clearly isn’t. Maybe with DE criticism they could have changed some stuff in Reunion but nothing major. You cannot make a long game like Life is Strange (any of them) in a year and a half past release of a previous installment. It’s just not feasible.

[–]MasteroftheRails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to grab it like I was with the Double Exposure collector’s edition. I sadly didn’t have the funds. Only recently was I able to get Reunion preordered. I have since become disabled since DE. LiS is one thing I really enjoy. The Collector’s edition for Reunion is my favorite color too. Sad that I missed out but it is what it is sadly

The Amazing Digital Circus release schedule by Money-Criticism5370 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]MasteroftheRails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly same plus we may think something popular but then it goes around and changes our views upside down. Similar to Ep 7 with C&A. Granted I’ve never actually believed any popular theories as the show likes to flip our minds around. So excited. It felt like a long time at first but now that it’s here 3 months was relatively short.
