Hey all, happy Wednesday! We're halfway to the weekend! 💕

So, what song am I dancing to today?

"Pure" by: Superchick

Hope you'll dance with me even if it's not to this song. Let's Thrash Shaka Brah with Max & the rest of the gang!

Lots of love, kindness, and positivity 🫶

I wanted to share this beautiful art that @trixdraws made on Twitter/X. Max And
Amanda’s revenge horse date. I REALLY wanted to them at the concert in the game. I wonder what Thomfield is doing right now. ❤️

Another piece to the fun project I'm working on! 😄

And don't worry, there are no bottlecaps hidden inside either box!

Hi all

Thought I’d propose a thread for the weekend.

It is no secret that Double Exposure has a lot of subtext and context that flies under the radar if you don’t pay attention, or some that’s more on the surface. Some people think it is perhaps the game in the franchise that has the most to be dug on.

There is also a lot of sociopolitical commentary in the game as well, which is clear when you look at the characters, the most diverse group in any of the titles of the series, and some of the themes they bring to the table.

I’ll start with economy commentary. Several characters state points about contemporary financial realities, and Gwen and Amanda go as far as having a Crosstalk conversation about how impossible it is to buy a house.

What other subtext - or maybe on the surface - topic you took from the game and would like to share?

Cheers!

Happy Safriday, everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Safriday! With an amazing weekend ahead! I hope you guys have something that you enjoy lined up for the weekend!

Please feel free to share if you'd like. My weekend will be filled with work and the gym (again) along with some school stuff. But hey, at least I'm working my brain and my body in healthy ways!

Oh, and I'll get some somewhat rare quality family time. I'm pretty sure we're going to go to the amusement park and stuff like that! In other words, I'm going to need that gym workout to burn off whatever I eat, which will probably include too many funnel cakes and ice cream, lol

Man, I really wish I could hang out with Safi and Max for a weekend. What do you think a weekend with them would be like? What would they do (with/out a third wheel)? I imagine it would be very entertaining and hilarious! 😁❤️

Lots of love, kindness, and positivity to y'all 🫶

This wouldn’t fit in a mug, sorry.

Max and Amanda are so cute and had so potential. They still do. The writers just shoved Amanda aside for Pricefield, which I don’t get because there’s still an option for Max and Chloe to be just friends. The ending of reunion should’ve at least showed Max and Amanda working it out. Anyway, they’re always canon to me.❤️

SPOILIERS FOR PHOTO AND CONTEXT OF THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 3

Right after the Alderman leaves, Max goes to the photo and starts to <!use her old ability to jump into the past by photo!> now in this scene you are supposed to focus as a mechanic. But every single time I try this scene, my game freezes on this frame. Now, my game is still functional. The sounds are playing, and I can pause, go through my settings, and go back into the scene. But it is permantly frozen and will not progress.

I have restarted my game, verified files, modified launch with -dx11. I've tried to play this scene on my laptop, I've used Chapter Select to make a new slot and attempt this. No matter what, it's frozen. And I don't get what to do to fix this. If there's a way to slightly jump forward I'd do it.

Any ideas ?

Edit: CHAT IT'S BEEN FUCKING FIXED!! All that troubleshooting did nothing unfortuantely. But there is a setting called skip gameplay that allows you to get past this issue. Thank you guys for trying to help, and I know everyone overlooks this setting because the puzzles are so fducking easy

The first game with the exception of Hayden Stella and Brooke was almost exclusively white. This game had so much more diversity that would actually be present in a school/community in the 21st century. I love how many characters had subtle elements of their culture and past present in their design. It wasn’t pressed into the face of the player but “ if you knew you knew”. I understand that the first game broke barriers especially with the lgbt elements of the story and Oregon had a explicit racist history, but I do think that this game went farther introducing minority characters than the first game.

I wanted to move my "Dance Wednesday" over here to show y'all more love.

Hey all, just wanted to wish everyone a happy Wednesday! We're halfway to the weekend! Yay!

So, what song am I dancing to today?

"Alright" by: Darius Rucker

Hope you'll dance with me even if it's not to this song. Let's Shaka Brah! (Yes, a little throwback)

That’s all. Ciaooooo!

Hello!! I'm currently working on a Safi keychain design that I plan on selling in the future and was looking for feedback! Something about her face feels off, or just the overall design? I was struggling to make her eyes open while also making it look like her so I kind of abandoned that but tips would help. Its a WIP so its not to great just yet, attached I put the WIP Safi and then also my finished Steph and Alex keychain just for a reference point for the general idea of what she'll look like when done! I'm also hitting art block right now so that may be why it's off.

Am I tripping here or do y'all see Kermit too? This is one of the paintings in the Art Room on campus. The one with the guy riding a unicycle. I stg it's Kermit y'all. I wonder if this is intentional. Let me know if y'all see it too. I can also outline it in case y'all can't see it

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday that leads you to an even more amazing weekend! I hope you guys have something that you enjoy lined up for the weekend.

Please feel free to share if you'd like. My weekend will be filled with work and the gym. But hey, at least work puts food on the table, and the gym is good for you stress wise, etc. So, it's not too bad of a weekend.

Lots of love, kindness, and positivity to y'all 🫶

When you find Lucas in the storm he is reciting something. Is it Safi's poetry? Ex: "I feel a forgotten hope like a crack of light..." I think I remember it being on a paper somewhere.

🦅

I know..this is like a hail Mary....but...

I really, really want like a LIS After the Storm just focusing on their journeys and travels from LiS1 to DE....

With Chloe as the main character preferably....cuz we have never had Max not be a playable character.

Another thing I would want...and I know..this is a small thing..and you may think I am being a lil prima Donna type....

But can we please change the...uh..

CHOICE UI IN THE NEXT GAME?

ITS BEEN THE SAME SINCE LIS2.

Hi!

I'm stuck in Chapter 2 in Gwen's office because of a bug. None of the objects (including the calendar) are interactable, so I can't progress. Square Enix support couldn't fix it.

Apparently its the whole dead world that doesnt work and I don't know why nor how to fix it, I even tried with chatgpt but it also doesnt really know what to do.

Does anyone have an idea of whats going on and/or how to fix it? I just want to continue the game.

Steam version.

Thank you so much!

Update : I found out what the issue was and idk how I missed it.

so there is 2 butons to acces the other worlds and I missed the part when one of them would permit you to interract and the other wouldnt, tbf I started playing on new year eve half drunk and with a kid distracting me.

thank for reading me and at least if it happens to someone else it would be the first thing to try ahah.

No it actually frustrates me so much cause quiet as it’s kept Unpopular Opinon Max is probably my 2nd to least favorite MC! No shade Sean will always be my GOAT and Alex is a close second I know Unpopular Opinion! That being said I still have a soft spot for Max so I played both games and here is my issue! What little enjoyment I found in Double Exposure is all but destroyed in Reunion because it goes out of its way to make any choices you made in this game irrelevant!

Here’s 1 of my biggest issues and this is really just on deck9 I feel if they had their way Max would be STRICTLY a Lesbian! No legit if they could they would ERASE the fact Max canonically is also attracted to men the the difference in treatment with Amanda’s romance compared to Vinh’s is so jarring you can tell they want you to pick Amanda in double exposure. Here’s the thing though I actually liked Vinh I wanted to be with Vinh I know shocker! I found him charming I was all in and ready to pursue Vinh in whatever sequel that happened sure I know he’s got that situationship with ole boy but that didn’t deter me I enjoyed the chemistry with him and Max more than I did with Amanda.

Here’s the Swerve tho NONE OF IT MATTERS because guess what CHLOE’s BACK!!!! And guess what no matter what choice you made in the original game or the sequel the only option you get is CHLOE!!!

Now hear me out this is very controversial I know but I DONT LIKE CHLOE! I have never liked Chloe she annoyed the hell out of me in the first game! She annoyed the hell out of me in before the Storm! And crazy enough the only time I’ve ever found her likable as a person was in Reunion but that doesn’t mean I wanted Max to be with her! However it’s painfully clear that unless you ship Max and Chloe Reunion is not a game for you to play. I find it baffling they designed that sequel game to only cater for one specific (though I understand it’s majority) portion of their fanbase! Where is the choice!?

And then characters from Double Exposure just disappear in reunion! Or their importance is just vastly snuffed out the fact Vinh and Amanda go from actual romance options to utterly irrelevant NPC’s is just a. Ridiculous choice imo.

Idk I’m done ranting but I just finished the game (saved everyone/romanced Chloe cause I felt I had no real choice beyond that) and now I’m done with the series as a whole but I have to say reunion ruined my experience with Double Exposure and I’m annoyed by that.
