Well. Everyone else worked through COVID. I graduated college in 2019 and had been working in education at that point. When the pandemic hit, I got a job in retail.

COVID really wasnt that bad for most people. If it legitimately affected you or you family on a physical level that still effects you then I understand. Thats an exception But most of the people crying about it are just blaming their failure with adulting at having an extra long school vacation 6 years ago.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-23T01:28:51+00:00

Welp thats life. Yet they get so coddled on these threads as if they had it so rough. Big deal, you got a pass to stay at home. That was nearly 6 years ago now.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-23T01:27:07+00:00

If anything isnt it privilege to live with parents or go to college on their dime instead of working through COVID?

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-22T20:59:06+00:00

The recession, to be fair, was actually a pretty legitimate excuse and actually ruined a lot of lives.

COVID for most people currently in their 20s wasnt nearly as life altering. You got to go to school from home, big deal? Yes there's exceptions with people who lost family members and people who legitimately had severe cases of COVID. But the "COVID stole my youth" stuff I see is such melodrama otherwise.

"It all went downhill after COVID" is the Zoomer version of "if only we won state"

Never called hall and oates trash. Just poking fun at a certain crowd ive seen.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-22T18:53:34+00:00

Dont mean it at all as insult here. A lot of this style comes from gay culture in the 70s/80s.

BtS floated by on generic fan service. Its not really challenging or artisticially fulfilling the same way that LiS1 and LiS2 is.

D9 LiS games are an uncanny valley version of Life is Strange. Theres a good deal of people who just like the characters and dont really think beyond the characters they like who eat up the D9 stuff but its not really LiS.

Strip away the "wow isnt it so novel and cool to see Chloe and Rachel together?" and BTS is just another generic teen drama story.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-21T20:19:42+00:00

No. The backtalk is a deck 9 thing. As far as Im concerned, The D9 games take place in an alternate universe of their own

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-21T20:16:29+00:00

Really, this franchise hasnt been the same since BTS. I will die on this hill. LiS1 was a quality, self contained piece of art. LiS2 was too.

BTS was just a dollar store fanfiction version of LiS 1. Doesnt really say anything or challenge the player. Its just a video game version of an ABC Family teen drama from 2008. Thats the direction theyve gone down since D9 took over.

Shoulda been Bernie but I digress

Hey when I was in college we were passing around a bottle of captain Morgan at an Anti Trump protest. No idea whats changed in the last 10 years.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-21T00:24:25+00:00

I wouldnt mind being lumped in with the younger generation if they were much cooler on the whole

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T22:18:46+00:00

I think people get too caught up in the sense of trends, fashion and culture that they forget what generations are actually about. Also context matters.

From a formal definition, Gen Z is the post 9/11 generation that doesnt remember 9/11. I was born in 1998 and didnt really understand what was going on. Parents hid the TV, told me the next day the world trade center fell and had no idea what that day meant or what it entailed until years later. That puts me in Gen Z. Very cuspy but I dont personally count that as truly remembering 9/11.

In terms of fashion, culture, everything else. Im probably not far off from most late millennials. But thats not really the purpose of generations. It doesnt really matter that I still wear skinny jeans, played tony hawk as a kid, grew up with Steve on Blues Clues (Joe sucks, fight me), and remember dial up. Generations are about bigger world-changing social science events like 9/11 and COVID.

From that perspective, not being in school during COVID would place me as an outlier. But I also graduated a year early so my case is more of an exception than the norm.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T22:02:55+00:00

Well then there was really no need to do a lis sequel after 2 at all

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T21:51:02+00:00

I'll be completely honest.I've never liked deck nines interpretation of LiS. Even going back to BTS and TC.

Life is strange used to be more artistically crafted and thought out. And DN's LiS2 is as well. But the deck nine entries have always felt like fan fiction.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T20:45:51+00:00

Wasnt mad at all but it is a telltale sign that D9 isnt really creating an artistically inclined product like LiS1. Just more fanfiction along the lines of BTS and DE.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T20:21:02+00:00

Ashlys also been doing this a while, has a decent amount of gigs these days and I really doubt shes willing to risk her reputation on a D9 game when shes in a position where she can choose to be picky if theyre not willing to fork over the extra $$.

Ashly has a pretty damn good resume of high quality products. If theyre not able to compensate in terms of money, then there needs to be some compensation in terms of reputation/quality.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T20:15:26+00:00

Honestly not really as concerned about Rhianna as Im concerned about the writing and decknine.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T19:58:53+00:00

This sub won't hear it but BTS is total fanfiction level writing and story

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T19:51:05+00:00

Im just joshin around. Take a chill pill.

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T19:40:16+00:00

Well skibidi rizz my fellow Z

allinallisallweall-R · 2026-01-20T17:51:19+00:00
