Can I say that I'm starting to prefer Safield over Pricefield a little bit? Because I am.

this'll be my last post for the night. it looks bleak right now and it feels like the world might end and i do not blame you for feeling that way. i kind of feel like that too to be honest, but numbers are just numbers and land is just land. the results maps you're looking ar are not 100% accurate.

please please please just walk away from this. you'll wake up tomorrow and we'll all probably be crying, for good or bad reasons. i am begging you all to get away from the screen and sleep if you can because if you're starting to spiral then this is not good for you.

i sound like a broken record and i apologize but i repeat it because it's true: no matter how bleak it seems, no matter how badly this may or may not turn out, we can push through this. get some rest. wake up and keep living no matter what. i believe in you.

wake up and keep living. no. matter. what.

goodnight and good luck. sending my warmth out to all of you. <333

(psst have some more cat pics!!! you all really liked the other ones so here's some loafs to ease your mind. i'll see you all tomorrow.)

yo hey US people who sent in absentee ballots, they are tossing mail-in ballots for no reason. i just had to call my county board of elections and demand a cure for my ballot because north carolina didn't send out any notices of issues with ballots, and the issues are fake. if you voted by mail-in make sure your ballot was actually counted

Hello. I mean this really imploringly, and really genuinely. If you're a U.S. citizen still on the fence about what to do for the election, please vote Harris. There's this idea circulating that the person you vote for should be someone you like, love, idolize and that is so very not true. You're voting for the opponent you'll face for the next four years when you have issues to protest and matters to vocalize. You're voting for the person most likely to give an inch when you protest the things that matter. You're voting for the person most likely to not strip away your existing rights and scatter your focus across the things we already won, and which can be taken away. We lost Roe v Wade under the Trump-appointed judges. The current trans-panic is so disgustingly on fire, and it's absolutely the Republicans eager to rip away what little protection there is. Both candidates are also, disgustingly, pro-Israel. But Trump will never ever give a fuck to any protest on that matter.

You don't want to be complicit in genocide. I get it. But if you're a U.S. citizen, you're already benefiting from the U.S.'s foreign policy, and that's already complacency. Refusing to vote or voting third party isn't absolving you of that. It's just letting Trump walk in the door. And letting Trump in is complacency. And your ability to organize, and to make change, will go so less far against a Trump cabinet than a Harris one. The material harm under Trump is real.

Does voting for Harris make you feel guilty? I'm sorry, but you have to bear it. Your guilt isn't what's important. A white person's guilt isn't important. A citizen of a global terror's guilt isn't important. Actions that pacify your guilt aren't important. Focusing on absolving your guilt is in fact harmful, as opposed to actions that can actually materially reduce harm.

Please protest. Please donate to good causes. Please support Palestine. Please be vocal. Please fight for BIPOC and LGBTQA+ rights. Please view Harris as the opponent whose ears these things fall on. Your ability to organize safely, largely, loudly, and effectively will go so much further under a Harris presidency. Please.

Playing Double Exposure (while knowing about certain conversational plot details) is a genuinely entertaining experience when you don’t have rabid OG fans in your ear screeching that it’s this unbearable, catastrophic dumpster fire.

Even if my rating goes down from an 8.5 to a solid 7 when I’m done, so what?

I would be clinically insane to miss out on the experience of hearing THE Maxine “Ready For The Mosh Pit, Shaka Brah” Caulfield say the thing again.

Her presence alone saves the game! Cash-grab or no!

Having a finale episode that’s more focused on hyping up an annoying side character than the person the series is actually named after, oh I’m getting Loki season 1 flashbacks 😭

God, how the show parasitizes Wanda. I'm disappointed, this was supposed to be an Agatha series! It's just another Billy subplot. As if it wasn't enough that hysterical Wanda had already ruined Strange's solo movie.

Safi I love you 🥰

As a Life is Strange fan I have to say that bashing people like Katy Bentz for playing and enjoying Double Exposure and threatening and harassing the devs is never going to be an okay thing.

My name is Aya, I'm 29 years old. I'm married to Jihad, who is 32, and we have three beautiful children: Abdelrahman (7 years old), Jori (5 years old), and Adam (2 years old). We live in the northern part of Gaza.

Abdelrahman, Adam, and Jori are the heartbeat of my heart and the light of my life.

Abdelrahman: the lion of the house, the helpful and loving boy to his siblings and family.

Jori: my beloved girl, the one closest to my heart, and my little mini-me.

Adam: my little hero and my spoiled child.

Since the onset of the latest war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us into displacement. We’ve had to move more than thirteen times in search of safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced severe hunger and malnutrition that nearly took my life and the lives of my children. Additionally, we were exposed to numerous contagious diseases and dangerous epidemics.

Before: This is our home, our dream, and our promising future.

My children have to travel long distances just to get water and stand in line for hours to get food. Their mental health has been shattered by the war, their education has come to a halt, and they have suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.

After: This is our home, built with our sweat and effort, and it has been completely destroyed.

The Right to a Peaceful Life

My children deserve to live a peaceful life free from fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your assistance means the world to me and my children.

Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed.

winter is returning to gaza which means white phosphorous acid rain, polio infected sewage flooding, and bitter cold with no shelter. tents are not enough.

siraj's family has 10 children in it, many under the age of 12, two newborns, and two elderly people who are susceptible to disease. his mother has diabetes, which anyone knows needs frequent monitoring and medical care. he and his family just recovered from skin infections and he doesn't want to see them suffer from all the disease the winter will bring.

siraj found a place to rent but its 1400 CAD a month. the lease lasts 6 months - he needs to raise $8400 CAD / $6253 USD as soon as possible before winter gets really ugly so he can secure his family's safety.

siraj is trying to rebuild his life. he doesn't want to let the zionist entity kick him out. he's staring this genocide in the face and telling them he doesn't care what they do, he's not leaving.

yet, he's really far from his goal. and things are moving really slowly. i don't know how many times i can repeat this same information. things change but the brutality of what they face stays the same.

please donate and share

kinda hate the lis community right now. why are we denouncing a game, saying it should be considered “not canon” when one relationship was affected? I love chloe and max but i think the angst is real and believable. chloe had such a “fuck you” attitude and depending on your final choice in the first game, she never learns to be close to max.

also people have to understand that 1. chloe and max were not perfect. there are dozens of threads, videos, and discussions about chloe basically using max throughout the first game and being mean to her when max (us) didn’t chose the chloe-favorable option when presented with it. and 2. the first game has such wildly different endings that can you blame them for wanting to wipe the slate clean?? chloe isn’t forgotten but i feel like people forget that people grow apart and change and an argument between max and chloe is very likely to be relationship ending given what they went through.

i just hate seeing “fans” dismiss the beautiful story of Double Exposure because a very small aspect of it didn’t go the way that they wanted. there’s still 3 episodes of the game left that are yet to be seen and yet people judge it off the first two??

Michel Koch, the creator of the original Life is Strange, has spoken up about the harassment Deck Nine developers have experienced from fans on social media.

Koch also clarified that no game is free from criticism. As long as the criticism remains civil and doesn't become toxic.

And he also reminded fans that DontNod previously suffered a similar backlash when they decided to move away from Max & Chloe, when they released Life is Strange 2.

Koch also admitted that they would've written the story and characters differently, not just in Double Exposure, but also how they were portrayed in Before the Storm and even the comic books. He basically said that different writers will always produce a different story.

Michel also debunked the claim by a so-called "Deck Nine dev" who said on reddit that Max had always been designed to be a lesbian character. Until Square Enix force the team to give her a male romance option (Warren). Koch set the record straight with this tweet:

Michael also explained what was happening at the time Max and Chloe took this photo, which was seen in Life is Strange 2:

The photo was taken at the "Away". Which was a desert community where David Madsen was staying at.

Anyway, Koch spoke about the photo when explaining that Max & Chloe's relationship was likely strained by trauma. However, he believed that they were still trying to make it work. Since they had nobody else at the time.

Koch also gave us a clue as to how he would've written Max and Chloe, years after they visited "Away".

So there you have it.

Will fans stop being toxic? As Mr. Koch pointed it out, they sure didn't learn their lesson when Life is Strange 2 came out.

But we can hope.
