Chaotic Maxwell Beaumont aesthetic
Rereading Distant Shores. It’s better than I remember it being, but it still has its issues. One of the ones I’m noticing now that I’m playing it all at once as opposed to week by week is that the writers really, really liked bringing up how everyone underestimates the MC. The word “underestimate” in the context of the MC has been used once or twice just about every chapter.
YO DUDE THIS COULD HAPPEN

This is one of the less visually-offensive outfits Marguerite has made and yet it’s somehow both ill-fitting and tight at the same time. I get that it’s supposed to be a snake motif but it looks CHEAP.
The Enshittification of Choices is kinda fascinating to watch as someone who’s been playing it since September 2016, a month after it initially released.
Every time I think it’s reached rock bottom, the AI bots over at PB generate new pickaxes and keep on digging. To the point that they’re raiding the tombs of long dead series and trying to resuscitate their putrefied, half-skeletal corpses with shitty AI “art” and writing.
If you had told me in 2021 when Surrender and The Nanny Affair were releasing that the app would get as bad as it is now, I would have just stared at you with my head cocked. In the year of our lord 2026, it is now my reality and nightmare.
I have no idea who’s still in the choices fandom, or open heart for that matter. HOWEVER.
During my yearly (monthly) re-read of open heart, I am curious to ask…how did we all leave things with Louise and Ethan? Did we forgive her? If so, why? If not, why?
I want to know different opinions on this matter, as someone who chooses different options each time she re-reads book 2
Let me know !
(Miss you guys…and Ethan Jonah Ramsey)
Did a long (looooong) post on the mobile game Choices: Stories You Play:
Let's play every game in chronological order Nah I'm kidding. This isn't this type of thread. While I would have absolutely loved to follow
The post wouldn't have been possible without the work done by many in this fanbase over the years on both Tumblr and Reddit, long before I ever hopped on the app out of curiosity.
Retracing it all really shows that, for all its faults, Choices still felt worthwhile compared to the AI slop it has become now. I can think of all my issues with how they write things, either the lack of care for gender of choices or stories whose plots were undercooked, and it all pales in comparison to the stories now where you're unsure how much AI made the plot.
