Of course other people dislike it too, I've seen it slammed here and on /vg/ countless times. Comments on ao3 are not indicative, because there are no critical ones and that makes me suspect author deletes the ones that call him out on whatever bullshit he tries to push.

Yes!
I haven't really read too many fics. Out of all, I think I liked Shelter the most, but it's not really suitable to be a vn.
If the author has written something in the style I know from her Frozen fics for a VN, the combination would be incredible.

So what are some of /u/'s favorites in fics?

Hm... I like "Wandering Far". And a couple more that I forget right now. "an ultraviolet way" is a good smutty one.

hakuun's stuff is pretty sweet, and there are some cool AUs beside that too, but I wouldn't call those some of my favourites. Canon-compliant stuff is always closer to heart. Although I can't really get into post-Episode 5 fanfiction, this is one of the rare exceptions: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5542766

The premise is a bit weird, but Max is adorable in it and it's a pretty in-character way of discovering the AU and relationship. I agree on the AU thing, but I just like these characters too much to limit myself to a certain type of fic and often I end up at least enjoying what some authors do with them. If they have a really good handle on the characters and dynamics it's exciting to see them throw those into different worlds.

>>2025258
probably Eternal Return. it has its issues here and there, but it did a terrific job developing Max and Chloe's relationship and it was beautifully written.
Black Swan is my second favorite, it has a lot of world-building, though, specially in the first half, so it may not be everybody's cup of tea.
>>2025380

muh nee-chan, that fic is pretty good too. and yeah, Max is the sweetest thing here.

Think of a foursome/orgy as something that might happen but it's not a stable thing and could be viewed as a one time thing. Harem would be essentially the same thing but more stable and not a one time thing.

>>2030195

So like Polygamy then? Max's many wives? hah....

I suppose, for it to be an actual harem they'd all have to love Max while they might not have to love their "sisters".

>Chloe and Victoria...lots of angry sex...

They'd be addicted to each other. They'd say all manner of horrid things to wind each other up. Then they'd take out their frustration by fucking their brains out.

There'd be a brief tender moment afterwards, after they'd completely exhausted each other. Just laying together. They could pretend the smiles on their faces were just a result of exhaustion.

Then the instant one of them found it in themselves to speak, the moment's ruined. Back to the vitriol. But that's fine, because they know where it's going to lead.

For them, anger is foreplay.

>>2030254
Now this I can get behind...poor Max caught in the middle of that...I can imagine a competition angle with that seeing who can better take Max..Poor girl would be out of steam.

Aesthetic.

>>2030584
Nope. The plot is painfully overdone and mediocre, the game play is nothing special, and even the lesbianism is barely touched on. The only "unique" thing it had going for it was the numerous decisions the player can make that directly affects the character interactions.

And Undertale did it all around better.

>>2030584
Then don't play it?, no need to force yourself to play a game you clearly don't enjoy m8.

>>2030652
It's nothing like Undertale...

>>2030675
was talking about the "player's choices affecting the characters" game type
keep up, mate

Speaking of Undertale...I have a Theory that Undertale was the a Shroo, trip Max went through after a night of of drugs with Chloe. The whole game is her trip. I base this on the simple fact that Frisk looks like an 8-bit Max.

>>2030682
If there's one thing Life is Strange and Undertale have in common it's that both games nailed their respective soundtracks.

>>2030682
I dunno, 'mate', they're still very different in method and style. Undertale, while great, is about either making clear friends or enemies while LiS is more nuanced.

>>2030969
Not saying they aren't completely different, just saying Undertale is the better game on all fronts.

I regret bringing this up.

>>2030986
You should. Undermemers have blackened my opinion of the game.
The game didn't even do anything wrong. It's like a rape baby. Sweet and innocent, but every time I look at it I remember it's father.

>>2031019
General rule of thumb. Enjoy the game, show or book. Ignore the cancerous fanbase.

>>2031024
If I didn't, I'd just call the game shit.
Now let's go be cancer somewhere else.
Somewhere, private, maybe?

Honestly...the biggest crime of Life is Strange for me was it was too short....I would have loved it if it lasted a year like the climax with the Tornado was at the end of the year. You'd have a full year to interact with characters and develop relationships and such. Maybe add RPG elements? Doing school work and such improves stats Gym class improves physical skills and such. And some sort of progression to improve your time powers.

I'm just glad it got made. Dontnod had to go to a bunch of publishers because the various publishers they went to wanted Max to be a guy. Square was apparently the only one who didn't mind Max being a girl.

But yeah a longer game would've been cool.

>>2031071
Bleh, a pox upon those fools who would changed Max because "better demographic appeal" or what have you...

But yeah, I could totally see a longer game being neat. Wandering the bay, enjoying the sites of the Oregon coast, Photojournalism quests and such. Maybe even a part time job mechanic to make money. All those stat improvements from your classes helping you along the game. Like track helping you outrun a rolling rock down the hill and such. More romance stuff dates with Chloe, and other potential options.

Nicely done...

>>2031073
If any publisher wants to imply that a comfy game like LiS would sell better if we had a male player character as opposed to girls with the gay, I don't think they did their market research well.
It's not a shooter for the cod crowd.

>>2031088

Because it wasn't overt? That's my guess..if it was more overt girl on girl, I'm sure the publishers would eat that shit up. Publishers are stupid...

I'm pretty sure that's why she'd make the best sub. Her constantly being and angry and horny about being the bottom would be way cuter than just having her on top.

I imagine a film Noir version of Max as a investigative photojournalist with a private eye flair...

The lights, the smoke, the grime … the city itself seemed alive that day. Victoria Chase sashays through my door like a whore through a church—a mousy-haired kid with gams for hours.
No dame her age could afford a coat like the one she wore, but with looks like that, you’d expect nothing less.
She had bad news written on her like the Arcadia Bay News Letter. This dame was all business—before I could even make with the introductions, she lets slip that Nathan Prescott had been bumped off.

And this one cause Rachel is beautiful as fuck in it.

>>2035225

I found her standing on the wide ledge next to the balcony, gripping a grotesque statue of a gothic demon for as if her life depended on it. Her open-back formal dress, which had made her draw the eye of every man at the party earlier, was soaked and probably ruined. Though honestly, it hadn't been only the men who had thought she looked like a million dollars and had made all the other dames in dresses costing half as much look like some streetwalkers out on the 74th. I couldn't help those same thoughts clouding my judgement now, especially when the wet fabric hugged her figure a bit too closely even for the standards of the upper-class of this godforsaken city. God, this girl really was going to be the death of someone and I had an eerie feeling that was going to be me even though I wasn't the one contemplating crashing the street art scene in a meteoric fashion.
As the door of the penthouse clicked shut behind me and dulled the noise of the party and the band to a distant thumping beat, I threw my sigarette away and took a few steps towards her.
'That's a long fall, angel,' I said as I approached. The light from behind me made her eyes bright like stars but they seemed just as distant as well as she turned to look at me. God damn the rain and her quite evidently skilled seamstress.

>>2035707

'I have been falling for a long time now. This is just just me trying to stop it,' she said in that slightly hoarse and quiet voice of hers. It didn't betray much emotion. I had seen Manhattan at its worst and and looked into the eyes of people beyond despair and I didn't like what I was seeing and hearing now.

'Come now, I thought trying to stop stuff is supposed to be my role here,' I attempted bravado which I certainly didn't feel at the moment. I decided to try for logic and reason even though my own churning mix of emotions felt far from both. 'We are so close to bringing them down now. We can still win. Don't throw your chance at your own life away now. I can still help you.'

'Can you undo the past, Max? Can you make everything that was done to me go away like just like that? I do not think I could even handle a victory anymore,' she said with some traces of pain and fear entering her voice.

'I can't turn back time or reverse gravity. Or promise that tomorrow everything would be perfect. I can't even truly offer you justice and I hate myself and this wretched city because of it. But I can give you the next best thing. I promise that soon they'll be behind bars and and they'll never be allowed to even look at your general direction ever again,' I said and surprised even myself with the conviction in my voice. And I'll put a bullet into Jefferson's brain myself, I added in the back of my thoughts. 'But you'll have to take my hand and face the music one more time for that to happen,' I said sounding far more confident than I would have thought possible as I offered her my hand. She seemed to hesitate for a few moments, but she let go of the monstrous statue and took my hand. When she had stepped down I pulled her into my arms. She felt so very small, cold and fragile.

'I trust you, Max,' she said into my shoulder as I held her against myself in the rain.

'I know,' the words escaped my lips almost unbidden and now I was scared for the both of us.

Tried opening a relationship once. It turned out pretty fucking bad.

I don't suspect it's IMPOSSIBLE, but everyone's hearts need to be in it from the beginning. It basically demands a less personal relationship than a loving monogamous person (who wants a more serious relationship than just sex) is capable of being comfortable with.

Anyway it basically ruined me for emotional connections. Now I just aspire to be a slut.

I think it could happen, for a seriously constrained amount of time. Chloe is an incredibly jealous and insecure person. Max is less so, but still up there. The only person who could be legitimately happy with it for any extended period of time would be Rachel. "Let's all buy an apartment in Portland together with our perfect poly life" seems pretty impossible, but I could see them together if they were all very purposely keeping it casual for some reason.

>>2040842
I don't really see threesomes of any kind working for anyone who has some feelings involved - Max is too vanilla, Chloe is too insecure.

>>2041002
Fortunately, there are several pretty good fics. With their powers combined, All Wounds stands no chances.

>>2040868
Yep, that's what I was thinking too. (Except I think she's already leveled quite a bit and gotten her CHA up to 20, but I digress.) Best she could do would be to be a benevolent rusemaster and more or less set Max and Chloe up together in the process, and then she would need to run off into the sunset and let them just do their thing.

>>2040333
>>2040333
I'm attempting to write something more or less like this now actually. Too early to tell if I'm going to be able to pull it off, but I have a plan that on the surface looks like it could work, assuming I write the scenes well enough, and the initial chapters are pretty okay. (Though the initial chapters aren't poly yet, that's going to be a slow burn that happens over the course of the fic, so who knows.) Keeping them all in character while simultaneously keeping the story from becoming a dramallama polyfest of death and tears is extremely fucking difficult though. Chloe is probably the worst suited character for poly anything in the entire LiS universe. And then you have Max Was Here Too Caulfield. Rachel consistently rolls 30+ on her diplomacy checks and doesn't operate on a level where she could conceivably get jealous though, which is the only thing really working in their favor.

>>2040868
I bet Rachel would love herself some poly action, just for the fact that she seemed to love attention.

I like this picture, even if I can't help but imagine that Chloe smoking after waking up would mean Max makes out with an ashtray.

>>2041059
Yeah, Chloe's very needy. Though part of that is she's imprinted Rachel then Max as her one singular friend; she has no one else. If you had some sort of AU where Rachel's still alive and Chloe has both her and Max, that might be PARTIALLY mitigated.

Of course you might get a scenario where Chloe's deeply conflicted: on one side a deep desire to be romantically involved with her too best friends and not give one up. But at the same time getting seethingly jealous when Hypotenuse (Max-Rachel) of the love triangle forms.

So, what's so bad about All Wounds? I read a couple of chapters at one point, and I remember it being okayish. At least, I remember anything with Other Max being fun. Is there a point where it just becomes horrible? Does the author bring Warren back from the dead or add in a self-insert or something?

I haven't read it, but there were complaints posted here and /lisg/ about Chloe wanting an open relationship with Max, and suggesting they have a foursome with some random guys they found in a bar.

Also the author apparently was a bit like an 'IRL Warryn'; he clumsily attempted to commission tumblr artists who didn't want to have anything to do with him to begin with. Then started messaging them back with passive agressive questions as to why they turned him down. He also alledgedly lobbied the friends of the artists and writers that turned him down, to try to get them to change their minds. Naturally shit blew up.

actually, they do have an open relationship,and it's been implied in some chapters that both of them have slept with guys thanks to that agreement. also, the author seems to think that drama for the sake of drama is good writing, and views himself as some sort of gifted and misunderstood writer who's marginalized by the talentless sheep that are unable to comprehend the characters on the same level as him. so yeah, fuck that guy and fuck his crappy fanfic.

Still very early on so not much to see, but hopefully it unfolds well/you enjoy the ride.

>>2041508
I thought the first chapters were pretty good, particularly when it was Max's POV. I liked how dark the fic was willing to go, but I dropped it once the open relationship shit started. Also, Chloe's voice was obnoxious.

>>2041520
There was a lot of shit that plain didn't make sense to me, but I wrote about them before here or on /vg/, can't remember.
The relationship bullshit was the last straw for me. The overall flippancy of their behaviour was infuriating. Like, come on, Chloe was apologizing for causing yet another unwarranted blowout on Max's part (if I remember right, Max got mad at Chloe because they got lost in the woods after Max ran out on Chloe because she got mad at her for yet another inconsequential thing. It's like fucking recursion, I swear.) and promising to do better at the end of the previous fucking chapter.
I can't shake the feeling that this fic is just a disparate bunch of ideas that aimed somewhere betwen "2deep4u" and "look how forward thinking I am".

>>2042105
I don't know, they optionally did warn one person throughout the week - the homeless person, and they do believe them. They didn't even try warning anyone else.

And obviously Max could demonstrate her power the same way she did to Chloe, or perhaps a more abrievated version thereof - predict an exceptionally long number they'd just asked the other party to think of. Do this to they police chief/mayor/civil servant in charge of civil defence then tell him to order a general evacuation.

An even better idea is to go back in time to the first day, and predict all the weird phenomenon that were about to happen, ending with the tornado. After watching several scientifically impossible events take place after being successfully predicted, Max would become far more credible.

>>2042126
Phone into a local live radio station on a public phone, ignore the host, predict the day's national lottery number and then tell everyone a hurricane is going to fuck things up, hang up. Wait for the draw and the local papers to get the story, and we're done and done.

>>2042126
There's also the fact that the Prescotts had built a series of bunkers across the town, as if they were preparing for exactly this situation. Muh abandoned supernatural plot threads. They wouldn't even need to get them out of town, just into the bunkers.

>>2042126
Most people would still assume it's some sort of a trick or at least weird thing that's much more comfortable to ignore. Think Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow.

Besides, Max seems to assume the hurricane can be averted by solving the Rachel mystery, which is pretty much what the audience expected as well, given all the speculation about the Prescotts' connection to the storm.

>>2042131
Lots of people probably did make it to the bunkers.

>>2042132
>Most people would still assume it's some sort of a trick or at least weird thing that's much more comfortable to ignore. Think Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow.
Don't cite a fictional source for how people would react. If you predict things that are physically impossible and they happen, you get their attention.


>Max seems to assume the hurricane can be averted by solving the Rachel mystery, which is pretty much what the audience expected as well
Not at that moment. They'd solved the mystery as of episode 4, even created universes where Nathan and Jefferson were in jail or dead, and it was still coming.

>>2042134
>Don't cite a fictional source for how people would react
Did you want me to cite a factual example of people reacting to undeniable evidence of time travel?

>Not at that moment
And by that time, there isn't much Max can do with her time travel. Jefferson's burned all her pictures, aside from the one just before the party and the one in the girls' bathroom. That doesn't leave you with many chances of calling officials or radio stations. Besides, Max isn't really in a mental condition to come up with clever plans.

>>2042136
You can find a fictional example to illustrate whatever point or counterpoint you want, holding them up and saying "people will definitely react this way" is idiotic.

And after using the party focus, Max has all her photos back since the dark room scenes are erased from time, and is at liberty to use any one of them. Or there's, you know, going back to the school and getting the class photo which would give several weeks worth of time.

Really, Max should have been taking selfies before every significant decision she made or risk she took. I mean, wasn't constant selfies supposed to be her thing anyway?

>>2042144
>holding them up and saying "people will definitely react this way" is idiotic.
Well, I never did that. It was offered strictly for illustrative purposes.

>Max has all her photos back
Yeah, I fucked up there. However, at that point her power is breaking up and she's exhausted and terrified. She's in no state to come up with a cunning plan that would save everyone. Plus, the last time she tried something like that, Chloe ended up in a wheelchair.

>>2042150
Max doesn't gain the ability until the very end of episode three, and has such a bad experience with it she decides to never use it again.

I think it's generally pointless to nitpick time travel stories, because by there will always be plot holes or some clever solution the main character doesn't realize. It's all part of the genre.

>>2042162
>I think it's generally pointless to nitpick time travel stories, because by there will always be plot holes or some clever solution the main character doesn't realize. It's all part of the genre.

That's fair enough, especially in non-interactive story.

But what that means as a writer is that if you're writing a time-travel story, it's not going to work to say "you have to pick either this or this, those are the only choices left, that's just how the world works", because your tragic and poignant point about the true meaning of growing up or whatever it was is going to be immediately blunted by people saying "wait, but that isn't the only choice left, isn't there something really obvious to do instead?". As soon as you put choices in your narrative, you give up some control of what your narrative is going to mean to people experiencing it, and snatching that control back at the last minute just feels forced.

>>2042162
>However, at that point her power is breaking up and she's exhausted and terrified. She's in no state to come up with a cunning plan that would save everyone.

That kind of degrades the intended meaning of the ending anyway. "Accepting sacrifice and moving on is a part of truly growing up... unless of course you had been clever enough to think of a pretty easy solution that could save everyone. Shame you picked art school instead of STEM, huh?"

>>2042166
That's a good point, but I feel like Life is Strange gets away with it by emphasizing that you always make your decisions as Max, who is someone with a fairly defined personality, rather than as yourself the player. For instance, Max letting Chloe bully her into going after Nathan alone instead of calling the cops is incredibly stupid, to the point where episode five is almost entirely about trying to reverse that. However, it's what Max would do, the same way as picking from those two options without trying to think outside the box is what at least I think she would do at the end.

>>2042167
Well, accepting your own limitations is part of growing up too.

>>2042162
Agreed on the nitpicking thing. But considering how forcedly and irritatingly tragic the endings are, you don't really have to nitpick to point at something where they could have at least tried to incorporate some plot self-awareness.

For this specific example, they could have easily made it so that people just didn't believe them for lack of a clever warning strategy or whatever reason else. The complaint isn't mainly that we didn't warn and save everybody, for me at least it's that we don't even think of doing it. Which is especially glaring in this scene where Max just came back from having seen people close to her die brutally to the storm (and earlier heard Chloe herself die to it - the person we now have to believe saving the life of is so important to Max she forgets everything else over).

And having tried to warn people would naturally change something about the ending too regardless of how it went... At the very least the emotional perspective for Chloe and Max after the fact, which as is is just incredibly bleak. It just feels like dontnod tried their absolute hardest to make things as shitty as possible, and so I have complete understanding when fans now do the opposite and go to the most ridiculous and delusional lengths to make things paradisical. Not that I think people believing them is a delusional notion. Predicting random eclipses and double moons are pretty convincing arguments, and frankly a persuasion strategy you don't have to be too clever to arrive at.

>>2042171
>picking from those two options without trying to think outside the box is what at least I think she would do

I think we must have played different games if thoughtless defeatism is one of Max's defining characteristics. If anything, she overthinks.

>>2042173
Maybe if she hadn't just spent a nightmare sequence being told just how badly her attempts to fix things have ruined everything, fabric of reality included. That and the exhaustion would be enough to make anyone just pick one of two choices.

>>2042172
>Which is especially glaring in this scene where Max just came back
That's the only part that really bothers me. Max should have told Chloe to try to get as many people as they can out. I don't think it really ruins the ending, though, since I doubt they could have convinced that many people.

>>2042180
Max kills an entire town or her loved one only because she's tired and doesn't feel like thinking about it, and this makes for a strong, poignant ending about how you can never change the nature of sacrifice no matter what you try (unless you have a cup of coffee handy, then everything would have worked out fine and it wouldn't be a fundamental part of the way the world works after all)? No.

>>2042183
Complete mental exhaustion is different from being just tired, and you conveniently ignored the part where Max's powers and reality are breaking down. Plus, the whole part where trying to fix things via time travel is what caused the problem in the first place and might just make it worse for all she knows.

>>2042193
>Complete mental exhaustion is different from being just tired
And it still kills any point you wanted to make about how this is the only way things can be and everything will always come back to this one choice completely stone dead. "Yeah, there WAS an easy solution without the sacrifice, you're just not allowed to choose it because then our point about inevitable sacrifice wouldn't get made".

>and you conveniently ignored the part where Max's powers and reality are breaking down
So did the game's plot.

>Plus, the whole part where trying to fix things via time travel is what caused the problem in the first place and might just make it worse for all she knows.
One of the endings uses time travel to try to fix things anyway.

>>2042201
Hm, other anon chiming in. But is the message really about invevitable sacrifize as such, and not more about inevitable sacrifize as part of the "human experience" (of growing up)?

Which means yes, given this power it is conceivably preventable - but for Max it just wasn't? Which, I agree making her an oblivious retard for plot and narration convenience doesn't convey that message too elegantly, but at least that way it becomes a question of finesse, rather than internal consistency.

But I agree: things feel very forced here and neither the plot nor the intended message are ultimately very poignant or even just emotionally impactful (while people do cry, if you are really invested - i. e. one of the people that should be the most affected - you are mostly irritated at the endings I'd assume; I was), because they feel contrived and unorganic.

>>2042206
It's pretty obvious that the tornado wasn't the only problem. Every time Max saved Chloe, things got much worse. It goes from a single dead bird to literally hundreds of them dying everywhere, whales getting beached, ants doing weird-ass patterns, and marine life dying off or getting the fuck out of there, not to mention the sudden snows, double moons, and unscheduled eclipses. Trying to keep Chloe alive was fucking up the reality and god knows what will happen after the so-called Bae Ending. Warning the Bay residents wouldn't have solved anything at all.

>>2042611
That would imply the universe is sentient and vindictive.
Why did saving Kate affect nothing?

>>2042637
Different Anon. It's possible saving Kate doesn't affect anything because she was never supposed to die; if Nathan had killed Chloe, the truth about his activities with Jefferson would have been revealed earlier and Kate's bullying would have stopped.

>>2042663
But not saving her changes nothing, and that would go against what was supposed to happen.

Every time anyone has talked about this (and I've seen it discussed at least a dozen times now), the only logical conclusion that you can make is that Chloe was "supposed" to die by getting shot in the bathroom, or else tornado. The real world explanation for this is that the stupid fucking writer just wanted muh tragedy, but you can in game "explain" it by having the tornado be caused by Rachel. The universe doesn't give a fuck about Chloe and wouldn't care how she died, but Rachel would. The version of the fantheory I like the most is that Rachel's ghost is purposely pulling some magical strings from beyond the grave and wrecking the Bay, but if Chloe dies on that first day her spirit can get Rachel's spirit to let it go. But if she dies later, or if they never knew each other at all, still tornado. It also means in the Bae > Bay ending Max and Chloe are actually free to go about their lives, since presumably Rachel just wanted to fuck up the town to fuck up the town and it's not directly related to time travel. It's an autistic as fuck theory but it's logically sound, and you can almost find supporting lines for it in the game if you look really fucking hard.

>>2042844
Chloe dying in the bathroom might be of special importance because it "solves" so many problems in the community, including taking down Nathan and Jefferson, uncovering Rachel's body, saving Kate and maybe even eventually taking down the Prescotts. Whether the universe is sentient or not, it's a highly significant event, enough so that messing with it causes the space around Arcadia Bay to seriously glitch. William surviving will also prevent the event from taking place, which may be why the tornado is still coming in that timeline, but only after the date Chloe was supposed to die in the bathroom.

>>2042866
That doesn't make any sense, though. In the timeline where Max uncovered the murders without Chloe's death and flew to San Francisco, why was there still a tornado? How and why is the resolution of Rachel's murder important to the universe at large? People die all the time for a bunch of different reasons, she's just one random girl. There is nothing significant about a murder being uncovered at a cosmic level, nothing at all that would affect timespace or meteorology or anything other than the emotions of the people who were involved in the event. You have to kind of assume that there's a sentient being with feelings and some kind of stake in Chloe's death behind the tornado to justify the cause and effect.

>>2042866
>Whether the universe is sentient or not, it's a highly significant event, enough so that messing with it causes the space around Arcadia Bay to seriously glitch.
How self absorbed do you have to be to describe an event like Chloe's death significant, next to the universe. Seriously, whether Chloe dies or our whole solar system collapses, it's the same thing to the universe, it means absolutely nothing. Just some chemical reactions happening. We're specs in a sea of nothingness. It couldn't give less of a fuck about it

So no, the universe, or rachel or whatever entity you want to put behind this, actually being sentient is the only "explanation" for what they've written.

The real way the whole story should of ended is this: Save Chloe, warn the town of the tornado, take down Nathan and Jefferson, no innocents die and everyone is happy. all of this could have easily been achieved in the end with no problems. Consider the whole week to just be the journey to uncover the secrets and mystery and the time travel power to be the tool with which to go back to the beginning with the gathered knowledge to do everything that is needed right and properly. The game breaks its own rules at several points, that is why some things don't make sense or don't feel right or are out of place.

>>2042880
>In the timeline where Max uncovered the murders without Chloe's death
Max and Chloe have solved the murders and possibly saved Kate even in the primary timeline. I don't think the universe really "cares" about those things being solved as such. It's just that this one node (Chloe dying in the bathroom) was significant because of its influence on everything else and it not happening causes trouble, even if you "give" the universe a roughly equivalent solution.

>There is nothing significant about a murder being uncovered at a cosmic level
Maybe the fabric of the universe is actually incredibly easy to rip with a bit of time travel. It can probably shrug off something like Alyssa not getting a football to the face, but messing with national news tier events might be enough to cause a regional crisis.

Double moons and random eclipses are impossible in our physical reality as we understand it. And then we have a spirit doe and prophetic visions. There is no "logic" to the tornado; not butterfly effect or chaos theory, not Chloe being significant or the universe sentient. It's literally magic. Which is hinted at in the game at numerous points with the native american stuff - spirit animals, cataclystic prophecies (Hopi) and evil spirits (Pazuzu/Tobanga).

The only science-fiction-y "reasonable" esplanation is that Max's time fuckery screws things up, because it has universes colliding or whatever and that affects things on a cosmic scale (but since it is all limited to Arcadia even here we still have to mix in magical realism). In this model, Chloe's dying is just circumstantial to the beginning of time fuckery, while the time fuckery is actually what screws things up, and to undo the screwing up, you have to undo the beginning. At least that closes somewhat science-fiction-y a narrative circle where Chloe's death is the inception of the magical/time travel odyssey; it's where everything begins and has to end. Of course, she is not circumstantial to the power itself - the prospect of Chloe dying is what triggered the powers in Max to begin with. But that's the significance of their connection, not a connection to the storm.

>>2042901
>Which is hinted at in the game at numerous points with the native american stuff - spirit animals, cataclystic prophecies (Hopi) and evil spirits (Pazuzu/Tobanga).
There are maybe 2 episodes that mentioned spirits and such, and maybe it was the angry spirits sending the tornado to remove the evil the Prescotts or however they are called, that weird janitor mentioned something like this. The tornado maybe did not come from time-travel-fuckery but was something separate.

>>2042844
Max gets her powers because Tobanga/Mother Nature/Amber's Spirit wanted to give her some more time with Chloe; that's the extent of the explanation. It's bad writing, but that plagued the entire game anyways.

>>2042901
Random teenage girls rewinding time is also impossible in our physical reality, so that doesn't contradict anything. And speaking of double moons, it's interesting that double moons appear and stay when there's a chance Chloe will survive and return to normal when she and Max rush to the junkyard, cementing the future where she gets killed by Jefferson.

I generally agree with >>2042866 and >>2042900. It seems the spacetime glitched temporarily, allowing Max to rewind time. That caused more glitches, which the universe constantly "tried" to correct. It's no coincidence that Chloe can die in a million ways during the whole game and no matter what you do, something always kills her off.

>>2042905
Why would the spirits stop the tornado if Chloe dies in the bathroom?

I'm actually fine thinking it's actually native spirits, global warming, time paradoxes, Satanic Prescott rituals, Rachel's vengeful ghost and the Large Hadron Collider all interfering with each other to give Max an incredibly bizarre week she'll never be able to understand.

Or, maybe it's the Native American spirit of time travel, tornadoes and girls kissing girls taking pity on Max and Chloe and giving them a week together before telling them to return to the proper time line via the tornado, which is the only way she can communicate (it's a weird portfolio). She'll probably get fired once her supervisors find out how her little shipping project ended up destroying an entire town.

>>2042915
>That caused more glitches, which the universe constantly "tried" to correct
I'd like that theory more if Jefferson killing Chloe stopped the tornado. Well, maybe it was too late by then, or it also "wanted" to erase the being that kept saving Chloe.

>>2042915
>It's no coincidence that Chloe can die in a million ways during the whole game and no matter what you do, something always kills her off.
I say it is not a coincidence - it's just her recklessness/stupidity. There's no final destination-type stuff happening here and "a million ways" is just casual perception rather than narrative actuality, when Max is actually more often in lethal danger than Chloe.

Time travel is the science-fiction premise, how the universe otherwise functions is assumed to be normal. I. e. spirits and planets poppoing in and out of existence should not be a thing. It's magic as far as I am concerned.

The bathroom incident are important to Max's powers and mark the start of her time-fuck adventure. But they are not important to the universe and do not mark the start of the cosmic abnormalities or the tornado. That's on Max's powers, or some magic (for example to do with Rachel). At least that's what I think is the most acceptable interpretation.

>>2042925
Yeah, I'd say the timeline was too corrupted by that point to be fully salvageable. Erasing Chloe would be better than nothing, but it would be still a "glitchy" event.

>>2042931
bathroom incident and Chloe*

>>2042931
The first abnormality is not Max using her powers, though; she gets her first tornado vision before the bathroom event. The spacetime gives its first error there and she uses the glitch when she gets the chance later.
>I say it is not a coincidence - it's just her recklessness/stupidity.
Possible, but she's hardly the only reckless/stupid character in the story. Take Nathan for example: his mental illness and enabling family mean his self-control, danger assessment ability and such are near zero. Despite that, he's completely safe and in relative peace in the alternative timeline. He also survives in most possible timelines.

>>2042942
But the bathroom incident is where the time-fuckery starts. The vision as the first space-time glitch, fair enough. But assuming you have to do your own time-fuckery, the bathroom is the inception, if not completely logically, so at least narratively.

Chloe dies how? In a confrontation with the guy you just described. Hardly needs universal intervention for Nathan to accidentally kill people, as we know. Then in the junkyard potentially with her own gun. Well, the rebound could be called "universal intervention" because it seems ridiculous (I have no idea about guns or bullet trajectories), but again, this is an optional death and she was literally playing with guns drinking. Lying on train tracks is the next thing doesn't need much intervention either, and from there Chloe only dies one more time in this timeline: getting shot by Jefferson.

All these don't feel "destined" at all to me. In the AU she also doesn't die, she's just not doing well. Hell, we can have David die more often and seemingly in a terrible universal joke than Chloe.

I just don't see that Chloe is significant to the universe. In my mind either Max's powers fuck shit up (and Chloe is obviously significant in the use of her powers), or Rachel does from the afterlife (and Chloe is significant to Rachel). Both have Chloe only circumstantially significant though.

>>2042942
In San Fransisco timeline, you basically take her recklessness and stupidity out and suddenly she makes it the whole week without needing saving. She even signs up for college.
It really is just her recklessness/stupidity

>>2042946
I don't think Chloe herself is significant per se. It's just that her time travel-assisted survival in the bathroom was the beginning of all the subsequent glitches. That event was the primary error in the spacetime; something that happened in a way incompatible with normal reality and affected many others. From then on, her very existence became a fundamental problem tied to the source of the glitches.

>>2042947
And then she gets killed by the tornado. Sooner or later, something always gets her.

>>2042962
>something that happened in a way incompatible with normal reality
>From then on, her very existence became a fundamental problem tied to the source of the glitches.
I have to admit that doesn't make any sense to me.
The variables changed, but that's it, life should go on, and from the universe's point of view there isn't any indication any time meddling happened.

>>2042962
...what? the tornado is the constant in the whole game. You're using that as proof that she the universe is out to kill her after the bathroom incident? Because she died with everyone else by the storm?

Everyone dies by that tornado. Chloe would be no more destined to die in that timeline than everyone in Arcadia Bay. She's no longer the odd one out.

And that timeline also shows all her other deaths were purely due to her behavior and not the universe being out to get her.

Lastly, even the tornado death happens because both she and everyone else, stupidly don't simply move away from it, as evidenced by the finale where Max does get to save her and leave it all behind.

Not everything is Final Destination

>>2042962
>was the beginning of all the subsequent glitches
I think so too. But those subsequent glitches are what's making things worse and worse, she herself is again only indirectly responsible in that without Chloe, there would be no additional glitches since Max wouldn't fuck with time.
I. e. if Max had lost her powers right after saving Chloe, I'd think things wouldn't have gotten as bad as they did. (And even if they did, I'd still be more inclined to put that down to Chloe's lliving-on circumstantially being a major enough event - we just don't know how much later changes contributed after all. Rather than say it's Chloe herself that's important.)

>>2042946
>Lying on train tracks is the next thing doesn't need much intervention
I'd imagine getting your feet stuck like that accidentally is pretty hard, actually.

>In the AU she also doesn't die, she's just not doing well
She will die soon and asks Max to kill her.

Can't the meeting with Frank end with her getting killed?

>>2042986
I think so too. Max fucking with time all the time is what caused it.
I still remember that theory about the supposed cut Hospital ending where it's Max intervening directly after she went back to the very beginning, was shot and woke up on Friday with nothing having happened to the town because she didn't fuck with time from that point onward.

>>2042997
This one?

>>2042105

>>2042990
>Can't the meeting with Frank end with her getting killed?
No, it can only end with her getting bitten by the dog at most and Max auto rewinding

I'm sorry that your self-importance is clouding your ability to read the situation but what I did was ask one simple question, which was answered hours before you in a more civilized manner and one that I agreed with. To put it in simpler words: I don't care if people are having discussions here and your late 2 cents were totally unnecessary and all they did was create a chain of shitpost. From which I take you have no problems with meta discussion as long as you can bark at someone? Because you realize in your attempt to chase the devil you've become a much bigger one than I ever was. So maybe next time it would be better to ask yourself what do you want to achieve with your posts and is it really worth to open your mouth for it.
Because if you genuinely just wanted the thread be a specific way and others, as evident by the month worth of posting, seemed to agree, ignoring possible meta discussion before it has a chance to develop would be a better way to ensure that.
But if you just want to bark at others and show them how right you are and how wrong are they, you just may be a huge hypocrite.
And right now it appears you want the latter.

>at least people aren't having more discussions about the game, so good for you.
People aren't having discussion because this is a dead thread on an auto-sage. The only reason I'm enabling this banter.
