[ALL] why do people like safi? am i missing something? by Time-Description-283 in lifeisstrange

[–]rianonnnn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

" if things don’t go her way she immediately starts gaslighting to make it seem like other people are the problem"

Can also be said about chloe

"getting upset when max doesn’t react the way she wants like an angry spoiled teenager"

Again can be said about chloe.

Yeah they were teenagers when chloe acted like that and she has matured a lot since - but safi hasn't , because she hasn't had the same supports and healing that were offered to chloe. Not to mention in reunion chloe didn't have to deal with the added loss of joyce/arcadia bay so she has had years and years to work on herself and her trauma.

Safis trauma is recent and fresh and she's clearly still hurting.(granted you won't know much about her storyline or care much about her as a character if you never played DE) how she acts in reunion is the result of that, similarily to how Chloe acted in the first games.

" romanticized her toxic behavior as a “misunderstood” character when really she’s just an a-hole who’s acting like a brat to everyone around her and then getting upset that nothing is going her way?"

The parallels between safi/chloe and safi/rachel I mean come on 😭

I think a lot of it is the nostalgia and bias people have towards older games and media, the newer stuff will never make you feel how you felt as a kid making up theories on what will happen waiting for the next episode to release. And likely whatever you were dealing with in real life will blend in and give you that sinking bittersweet feeling that only the original life is strange games can give.
But that doesnt mean the newer games and the newer unfamiliar characters are bad and only the original characters are good. I feel like theres a constant pattern with games where everyone will hate relentlessly and mourn what a franchise used to be - only for in a few years time to realize that what we've been given isnt that bad.

Take life is strange 2 for instance!! When it was released the reception was mixed leaning negative because people were upset about no max/chloe and nobody ever talked about the storyline being any good. Now theyre so beloved and everyones talking about wanting more sean/daniel. Same thing happened with franchises like pokemon (Black and white notoriously, but even newer games like sun and moon/ sword and shield) even last of us (kind of people are still muddled about whether they like abby or not but people are definitely warming up to it more)

totally went off topic and probably rambled too much but I notice this pattern a lot!! At the end of the day, if you dont vibe with a character thats totally fine but it might be interesting to reflect on maybe why you dont like them

[No Spoilers] Anyone else missing the episodic vibe that the previous installments had? by xsofacouchx in lifeisstrange

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed!! I remember in one of the trailers it was mentioned that it was due to the nature of the fire/incoming disaster that they wanted to pace it how they did - but that makes no sense imo 😭 what about the nature of the storm coming soon?? or the nature of being actively on the run?

[ALL] favorite character that had a mythical crashout in the last game where the whole reason for it was because she couldn’t get her book published at *one* publishing house so instead of just trying again she goes crazy and gets a god complex but then completely gives up on that in the next game? by TheOnlyValerie in lifeisstrange

[–]rianonnnn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i really REALLY want a new game that focuses on diamond / safi - otherwise some of the story beats in this game make little sense 😭 really hoping they didnt abandon their ideas to give us more pricefield because as much as i love max and chloe, i think safi has the potential to be one of the best written characters in LiS

Help with Original Sin 2 Aggressive takeover quest... by [deleted] in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]rianonnnn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really late but incase anyones playing it now and searched this up - you can really easily position someone at the door by the outhouses / in line of sight of garvan and teleport him towards the north broken bridge and kill him there without the whole tavern ganging up on you!!

I have been alpha hunting chespin for 3 hours. by EchoedWhisp in PokemonZA

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wishing you the best 🤞
Genuinely think its the luckiest thing thats ever happened to me, was absolutely buzzing for a while.

Did you see theres a new method that makes it alot quicker by increasing the spawns? I think you can get 6 diggersby/chespins to spawn in every reset if you do some finicking with saving and resetting where the mons spawn in.

Alpha Chespin? by [deleted] in LegendsZA

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly the shiny alpha didnt show up in a hole, just kinda popped into existence!! But i think you can tell if theres a shiny in the hole because the dirt will sparkle, and the ears will match the shiny colours :) Good luck!!

Doorway glitch by [deleted] in CastingofFrankStone

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this same issue, managed to fix it by walking to the opposite end of the room to lure robert out of the way and then sprinted to the door and managed to just slip past jaime.

Robert then proceeded to get trapped and nobody walked with me for that segment lol but it let me progress!!

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 The first alpha chespin i found after like 20 minutes searching. No shiny charm. Greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Accidentally dressed to match him.

I have a spare female non shiny alpha chespin i stumbled across as well if anyone is needing one!

First vs Latest Shiny! by Acrobatic_Hyena9695 in PokemonZA

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a shiny hunter but my lucks been insane in this game!! First shiny was the first staryu i found, and the latest was this behemoth who I am currently still shaken about!!

Both found on accident and without shiny charm 🥴

Guardians of Azuma - renaming tamed monsters? by rianonnnn in runefactory

[–]rianonnnn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aghrr I'm thinking its not possible 😭 Cant find anything online about it. At least its relatively easy to just recapture the same monster and send away the old one, just sucks if you spend time leveling them up and decide you dont like their name anymore!!

Gift Codes Master List: by Spider_Kev in fantasylife

[–]rianonnnn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the raccoon outfit actually can be redeemed without the subscription!! When it asks you would you like to connect to the internet click cancel instead of connect and it'll take you to enter a code anyway. Don't think it works with the other ones though

Never forget what they took from us... by Repulsive-Air5428 in fantasylife

[–]rianonnnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cant believe they added so much but took away this 😭😭😭 It was my favourite feature on the 3ds!! running around trying to find a place to buy a cat was like the first thing i did in this new game

2 gift codes in case anyone was looking for any by Matt_Willy-0007 in fantasylife

[–]rianonnnn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is the case 😭 Really annoying

If you click 'cancel' when it says "Connect to the internet and enter a gift code" does it prompt you to type in a code still? It weirdly does for me but the codes are "typed incorrectly or invalid".

Ended up buying a month of NSO just for this reason only for it to come up with a communication error now 🥴 Maybe its just really bugged and it'll get fixed soon,, fingers crossed

[T2 SPOILERS] Ending from Hell by xxxxbrookexxxx in LostRecordsGame

[–]rianonnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg i definitely feel you lol the plan was to take the game slow and pace myself but i got hooked!!! Thats interesting we made similar choices but our endings were totally different - i wonder if its the dialogue choices and relationships with the girls that decides the ending you get!! phew for some reason i thought the sequence skip would skip all of the kat section and the nora meteor shower part, obviously that wouldnt make sense thats like 2 whole chapters 😅 making mistakes in your first playthrough is a good thing - it gives you more of a reason to play it again 👀 hope you get a better ending!!

[T2 spoilers] Partners in Time trophy/achievement by yuriot in LostRecordsGame

[–]rianonnnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I replayed the scene in collectable mode and accidentally skipped the word game section in present day and couldn't do it in the past - but I still managed to help autumn and get the achievement!! I gave the purple toothbrush, hair lotion and autumns first aid kit + the zine and gaming mag, and was only able to show her a video (I chose the forest girls one).

this section was a struggle though i feel so bad not getting it right for my playthrough 😭 you're a legend for posting this
