Nah. Kate's cool. She knows Max, and to see how happy Max is with Chloe would prove their relationship is a good thing.
Kate would hope to find a love just as strong one day with whoever is lucky enough to attract her attention.
Maybe Kate's aunt would say something if she spotted a Pricefield, but Kate (If she was around or heard of it) would tell her to back off and leave her friends alone.

>>169753443
>Kate would hope to find a love just as strong one day

She says that but I don't think she knows him as more than an acquaintance. Maybe they'd get along, maybe not.
Nothing says Kate is restricted to Arcadia Bay or has to find who she will spend her life with at such a young age.
Not every love will be like Max's and Chloe's.

>World'sBayest once again changing their name to shitpost and then going back to being Anon to pat themselves on the back

She would just stop being Max's friend.

>>169753557
See, the irregular proportional ranking of the romantic manifesto would be irrevocably ignored, but rather than acceptance of gratuity in deadpan jest, I commend your subversion of taboo in a semi-personalized previous ranking leading apropos to the visual punchline in "Jefferfield".

>>169753950
What absolute nonsense.
One of the biggest things about Kate's character is showing she is NOT some stereotype. She has her own thoughts and beliefs that are not necessarily shared by her church.
There's no way she would ditch Max's friendship, the girl who actually saved her because of something that trivial.

You're either shitposting or taking the simplification/ idealization to an extreme level

>>169754624
Most of the school didn't really like Kate because she was kinda pushy with her beliefs. So it's not out of the realm of possibilities that she would ditch Max for committing such a perverse sin. What if it corrupts her too?

>>169754891
"Most of the school" didn't have a problem with Kate and only jumped on her because the Vortex Club did. Others following who they saw as the cool kids. Once Max becomes the cool one then you start to see a push back against the Vortex Club.

There is not a single piece of evidence Kate was pushy with her beliefs or that she would abandon Max's friendship. There is nothing corrupting about it. Whatever Kate believed was her own personal beliefs, she didn't go around campus demanding others follow in her footsteps, she ran/attended clubs where people could voluntarily come if they wanted.

>>169753950
No she wouldn't.

>>169753897
There's a script for that, and no. I did not.

There is no denial. You are just retarded.

>>169757619
>There's no sixth video it's just an empty spot

I read that as an empty slot to be filled with Chloe's dickfingers.

>>169757840
>Implying any of that can be canon when Bay: Chloe dies and when Bae: Everyone dies.
But if you want to go with your fanfiction canon, then I guess you can make Kate OOC and say she'll support Max's and Chloe's relationship.

>>169757840
>There is no denial. You are just retarded.

Kate is the head of a Bible study group and comes from an extremely conservative family. She quotes Bible scripture and is driven to suicide when a video of her making out with multiple dudes, not outlandish behavior for a young woman her age, is posted on the internet. Granted the video was taken against her will, but still. She's not the tolerant Christian everyone makes her out to be.

Hence, Kate Marsh, Evangelical Republican.

>>169758367
>She's not the tolerant Christian everyone makes her out to be

You haven't presented any evidence for this, you've only stated that she has a set of core beliefs that we've only seen her hold herself to.

An intolerant christian is one who judges others and insist they change their lives in order to fit their beliefs, Kate is portrayed as meek, quite soft and generally kind.

>>169758710
>Kate is portrayed as meek, quite soft and generally kind.
Doesn't mean she isn't judgmental internally.

>>169758839
But there is no evidence of that at all within the games.

>>169759005
Head of a Bible study group? Isn't there a line of inner dialogue by Max about some people thinking Kate is pushy with her beliefs?

>>169758839
And that doesn't mean she's going to destroy close friendships because of harmless choices.
But you still have presented not a single bit of evidence that Kate would be against a same-sex relationship, especially when it involves one of her friends being so much happier than she has ever been.
You've just boiled down Kate into a single "Christian" caricature like has been done with Chloe's "punk".

Kate's reaction to the video was not because of her religion, it was because of the reaction. Kate prided herself on who she was and suddenly it's challenged by everyone, maybe even to an extent by Kate herself.
If she was an atheist she would have ended up on the roof because people she thought cared about her turned on her and because she was dealing with the fact something happened to her and she didn't full know what. That's not a reaction based on faith, that's a reaction to what she perceived as life-ruining stress.

>>169759005
He's got you with this >>169759225, anon.

>>169759273
But we aren't talking about the video, senpai. We're talking about Kate herself and her beliefs.

>>169759225
No, there isn't a line like that.
Kate runs a club and attends a few others. There's nothing pushy about that.
This conversation has been had before.

Being a participant or having a personal belief/moral does not make someone a fanatic. Kate's aunt (and possibly her mother) is more fanatical and Kate is clearly displeased with that kind of reaction. It's what contributes to putting her on the edge.

>>169759308
>>169759225
Well that can be interpreted in a couple of ways.

The first being that yes, there are some people who she tried to push her religion onto, which does contradict how she is portrayed in the game.

The alternative is that people think Kate is pushy for having a bible study group and construe polite invitation as being pushy.

The problem is that its quite vague and relies on how other people feel being reliable. But again, this is a single line of inconsequential dialogue that isn't supported by anything else in the game.

Ignore retards.

One thing is for sure: None of the characters would ever be friends with these shitheads (this one samefagging shithead).
Even Kate would dislike people that like to talk bull shit about her and others on the internet.

>>169759721
>Being this much in denial.
Just admit Kate wouldn't have a very good opinion on homosexuality from her heavily religious upbringing.

>>169759426
And there's no indication Kate is how you present her to be.
There's the potential she judges people internally, but in a realistic sense it would be nowhere near the level you claim, if at any level. Kate is not like that.
There's plenty of things going on at Blackwell that Kate may personally oppose to, but those engaging in those acts are not her so she leaves them be.
She's not going around campus demanding people stop drinking or using drugs- she just doesn't use them herself. She's not going around yelling at people for having sex- she just chooses not to have it herself. She's not demanding everyone convert to being vegetarian/ vegan. She's not yelling at Max for being friends with a girl who has blue hair and tattoos- By Chloe's own words, Kate seems cool, and Chloe is wary of nearly everyone she meets.

Yes, Kate is of course shown as a person that would stop being friends with someone that saved her life and that she calls an angel because their love does not conform to her beliefs.
Let us ignore the fact that Stella, her friend, does also not conform to them and ignore furthermore the entire game altogether that does not at any single point show her to be intolerant or against people because of her beliefs, and just say something because we are retards.

>>169761250
She even says Victoria was nice and that she forgave her. Forgiving the person who was one of the main bullies and spreaders of the video.
The only one Kate shows any dislike towards throughout the game is Nathan. Which is entirely justified.

It was great until the Dark Room is found and then it just tumbles downhill by explaining nothing, giving no reason to believe what is being suggested, or just having the characters act oddly when there are far better and more obvious courses of action.

>I was referring to the entire argument.
But I wasn't. I was specifically saying the bus argument is a little silly.

I stick to my "argument" that the condoms don't have to mean Chloe was fucking around, could just as well be leftovers. Which is not at all silly; going from condoms to say she's fucking around or a prostitute is more than silly. Prostitution is baseless counter-canon bullshit, sleeping around is just characterally and narratively inconsistent.

>Cars run with broken parts.
What parts are broken? Remember, you were the one saying it needs repairs, my argument that it had been repaired is just obvious canonical suggestion. What is so broken about it that she'd have to take the bus?

This argument is useless. I already said that she could have taken the bus for any number of reasons. The tickets do indeed not prove that the stuff is years old.

>I meant sexually fluid
1. I don't remember her having said that. 2. ...And?

>I don't have to say more.
As I have pointed out ad infinitum, her hooking up with guys, and her being into hookups at all anymore, let alone for "fun", goes against my very characterization of her. It goes against what she outright says, and against my reading of her character. That she does want meaningful, emotional connections, and does not separate the physical from that, and thus considers her outgoing phases stupid, herself saved from them, and stopped because she realized those physical connections don't give her what she wants and are gross due to precisely that disconnect she experienced. She calls them stupid, gross, considers herself saved, regrets them. Why do you think does she says all this, if it was fun and games for her, that you think she could still be doing even now?

>>169750342
What is your characterization of her that makes you think it's possible she fucked around for fun and still was, even after having met Rachel, when she was clearly infatuated with her and pissed off that Rachel had been seeing other people when they were not even a thing? How does that go together with her complexes, with what she says, with the Rachel situation?

So you think the devs made her outright lie multiple times about being over her phases? Why would they do that? She was honest about everything from the get-go, even about her fuck-ups and outgoing phases at all. And you think she was also a disgusting hypocrite that fucked around for fun, but got sick at the idea that Rachel posed for Frank? You think this emotionally hurt girl that was yearning for a close connection and had already had sexually outgoing phases that did not give her that, that Rachel had precisely "saved" her from, did now still go out for sex, while Rachel was around and while she was searching for her? How, why? Where does this idea of Chloe Price of yours come from? You take two condoms and break with her characterization and narrative just because of that. I admit that I project a little, but my reading of her character is clearly in the game. I just don't see yours - the lying, cheating, dishonest, hypocritical, horny gal that sleeps around for fun in a small town.

So no, I do not take her for someone that would have slept with a man for fun - not in her past (again, I think that also was not about fun, not primarily by any stretch, anyway), but absolutely not at that point. And I'm not sure you understand what daddy issues are. You can't just throw that term there and say it fits this very specifically characterized situation. Mourning your father's death does not naturally translate into sexual attraction towards men of your father's age. It's of course not impossible Jefferson could be physically attractive to her. That wasn't what my point was about though.

>>169750342
>You've never said what she was holding onto them for.
Safety. I do not think she made a holy oath with herself or Rachel not to ever sleep with a guy again. Why go and explicitly throw them out, if there's even only a sliver of a chance you could be needing them? And she could be needing them for lesbian sex too. Do you really not know that countless not-sexually-active people have condoms? Not only priests don't have them. Hell, even they do.

>never spoke about the frequency.
You said the bar is where she would be usually picking clients up. That's just outrageous fantasizing on top of something that already is baseless, counter-canon bullshit.

>>169750342
>Sex isn't always tied to emotion
I think for Chloe, it is. Again, we do absolutely know that emotionality is tied to sexuality for her - she loves Max and is sexually shy and sensitive with her. I don't think my idea then that sex in turn is also an emotional thing for her is unreasonable, especially when we consider her characterization and what she outright says. Even without going into the nuances of my characterization of her, you will certainly agree abandonment is a huge issue for her. Fear of separating from people, issues with her self-worth, yearning for someone that values her emotionally, as a person, and sticks to her, stays with her. So why would she enjoy fucking around, physical connections to people that are precisely about not valuing someone as a person emotionally, precisely about not sticking around? It is way more reasonable even just with that one aspect of her character alone to say her having sought such physical connections in her past was done in a desperate, naive attempt to find someone that values her as a person, and sticks around, emotional connections.

She did not find that, that's why she calls it stupid and gross and regrets it. Then she found something like it with Rachel, says she "saved" her, made her ultimately realize what fulfils her, emotional, sentimental, meaningful connections, and women. Obviously then still yearning, for a connection like she had had with Max, because Rachel didn't, couldn't fulfil that. Finding then what she had been yearning for, what she had lost, what she needed and wanted, with Max. And more.

>>169748829
>>169751263
Not sure you mean me with the "confused anon" - I didn't talk about dev intention. I talked about what I see and don't see in the actual game. But if we make it about dev intention:

Why doesn't saving other people create more chaos, then? Why doesn't it try to kill them? Then we are back at a picky, i. e. sentient, universe.

Why does the universe keep trying to kill Chloe, as is your view, if it couldn't hope to restore balance that way?

Why then didn't the devs show anywhere in the narrative something that actually suggests Chloe is tied to the storm? That would have been very easy, but they did the opposite. They showed us a universe where the universe doesn't try to kill Chloe (if we believe her almost-deaths are the universe's doing), and the storm still came. They showed us one where it could have killed Chloe, but didn't, and it came. They showed us one where she does die, and it still comes.

They could have shown things getting worse in direct conjunction with us saving her, shown that things get better where she does die/is dying, could have altogether made an AU where she is dead and the storm doesn't come.

I do think they could perhaps have had the idea that Chloe is "destined" to die. That doesn't translate into a sentient universe and a storm of madness though. The reality of the game is just that there is no clarity about this, that the storm could have a number of reasons completely outside of Chloe, many of them directly suggested in the game, and the devs precisely intended for there not to be such clarity. This is not a logical, consistent sci-fi narrative. They call it magical realism, and they absolutely intended that it ends on friday, with the storm and the message of either ending. They did not intend to say there would be a storm in Bay, or Chloe would keep dying in Bae. That goes against the prime intention with this story: conveying a message, a meaning, something that relates to real life, something human.

The only thing I found a little disappointing is that Youngecho always uses the flannel outift for Max.

There's a few color variations. The outfit itself looks good on Max.
the only one I have a little bit of an objection to is the red flannel because that was explicitly Rachel's. She doesn't like Max stealing her clothes, she needs them and it's hard to find good stores around Arcadia Bay!

I don't think there are characters I liked quite in a way I do LiS characters.

Holden, I suppose. Don Quixote, in a vague way. Some unspecific YA protagonists that I can't think of right now, like the one in "Twelve" and one or two female ones I can't even remember the books' name of. One was a young violin player. At most, it were minor side characters in literature that had a sort of volatile authenticity to them that I could relate to - small and transient yet meaningful moments that I adored, and then adored the characters for them, because as "environmental noise" in the narrative, they seemed alive in a way characters only seldom manage to. Which is one way in which LiS creates characters that I find very praiseworthy: alive. In their authenticity and personality (in both a narratively-distinctive, but also a personal sense, i. e. how they relate to you, as if they are close to you), but also their physicality, idiosyncracy. Obviously it helps that it is a visual medium, and more, this one specifically designed to allow visual projection, adding your own memory and association and imagery in-between the stylized, abstracted visuals. Which is all the more powerful in retrospect, in thinking back on the game it feels even more alive.

In film and video games, I can't say anyone's ever seriously stuck with me.

Max and Chloe start out seemingly stereotypically, but they very much come into their own, and are unique characters that I have a hard time finding comparison to; their dynamic and relationship is even harder to compare to anything else I've experienced, and I definitely care about them more, as characters, than I've ever done with any other fiction. But it is obviously hard to find something that compares even just in format: modern, same-sex, (childhood-)friends-to-lovers, visual novel, character-centric, narrative-heavy coming-of-age romance with supernatural, mystery, crime and drama elements.

>>169818857

>Which is all the more powerful in retrospect, in thinking back on the game it feels even more alive.
Effectful in retrospect rather; feeling more alive and personal, like a memory of something you've actually experienced, places you've been, people you've met and connected to.

Other video games and film have never had that quality for me, not to this effect. Literature does feel more personal and intimate to me, but not often in a real connection to the characters and world and narrative - often, more to the author, the idea-haver behind the creation. After reading books that had a personal effect on me, that were intimate experiences, I almost always go to studying the author, any interviews, biographies, other works and an essence of the author that runs through them, try to get them as humans and explore that connection to them the book made me feel.

I do not at all feel this way about the creators behind LiS. I couldn't care less about their personal lives and personality.

Fact: Nobody else could have made this game. I have my fair doubts that even dontnod themselves will be able to create something like it, again. Not least for the unpretentious and modest-yet-earnest mindset it was borne from; there's a naivity, an unforcedness to the game that gives much of it its unique charm. It stems from the fact that they were really not looking for this title to do all that much: it was one of various ideas, a spinoff of a mechanic in their first title, they were throwing ideas at publishers and most of all just wanted something to stick, but stick in a way they wanted, keeping to their integrity. I guess scoring a deal with Square was a big thing, but it was still a small title with its own little motivations and niche they thought it'd fall in.

I'm glad they managed to keep the game its own for all the time where the unexpected levels of success began... but I think this success is one of the reasons why towards the end, it already started to stop feeling like itself. So with regards to a second season, I have my doubts - among other reasons - for this reason. I'm still fairly hopeful as well, though.

I heard it was one of his teenage photography students. Tornadoes in Oregon are pretty rare. I think would've heard about that.

>>169843223

>>169843002
>"Tornado hit oregon"
I think i remeber seeing something like that in the newspaper.
"Derisively labelled the worst disaster since you last had a flat tyre, a huge but ridiculously weak tornado cut a swath through the small town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, leaving in its path piles of loose timber and perplexing damage assessors: since no buildings were actually destroyed, and the tornado lacked the windspeed to even push over a billboard, the source of all this wood could not be determined. The head of the recovery effort, when questioned by reporters on this freak appearance of timber, conceded that 'perhaps we'll just have to use our imaginations'. The mysterious timber was later collected by authorities and used to speed the rebuilding process. All services were restored within a week."

>>169843546
That was Max Caulfield, an up and coming photographer. You should see her work if you get a chance.
She has this blue haired girlfriend and the two of them look adorable together.
As for being psychic? Who knows. The whales and birds stopped dying once the Prescotts ceased dumping stuff from their construction projects into the water and air. Both the natives and the townspeople were a lot happier after that stopped and the environment improved.

My name is Nathan, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.

Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to computer generated lesbians”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

>>169852153
It could have worked if there was a later confrontation between Nathan and Chloe at the party, and she was so ashamed of freezing up like that earlier that it provides added character motivation. As it is, Chloe is just a victim to Nathan, who gets railroaded to the side so someone largely unimportant to the story gets a moment.

>>169840808
They should add Nathan too.

Watching Chloe pummel Nathan could have been satisfying, but it wouldn't have fixed anything.
Nathan just takes it and cries, probably not the first time someone has hit him. It doesn't fix what happened to Chloe.
It's just revenge and it doesn't serve a purpose. The fact Max can diffuse thing and convince Chloe to step away speaks a lot louder about how highly Chloe reveres Max.

But what if, hypothetically, one option stripped Nathan of a weapon he'd already proven utterly unworthy of carrying. And another option left him with it. Would that be an overriding consideration in the choice, and if so, does that speak to decidedly poor game design?

>>169855243
He does deserve punishment but beating him is not going to fix a single thing. Ultimately all the choices amount to nothing but at the time ta tiny bit of mercy could have helped in the longrun.
Beating Nathan just shows nobody cares about him and makes him think he has to be violent to protect himself.

I'm a huge Pricefield fanatic. One of my main issues with the game during my third playthrough, though, is that any attempt to treat Warren as a friend is turned into playing him as a romantic option. I'd rather see an ending where Warren learned to respect Max as a friend and be happy with his relationship with Brooke. They could go on double dates with Max and Chloe. It would also send a positive message to teen boys playing the game: it's okay to be friends with women and just because they turned you down doesn't mean they don't value you as a person.

Maybe Season Two. Imagine it turns into a Buffy the Vampire Slayer style teen-horror series with Max and Chloe hunting supernatural creatures.

Better if it was akin to Ginger Snaps. Buffy never suited my tastes. It was too tongue in cheek. Ginger Snaps was gritty and darkly humorous without entering self-referential territory. I could see Emily Perkins, as a young lady, playing Max Caulfield.

He cannot be played as a romantic option, let alone as an end goal; the journal reveals Max always strictly thinks of him as a friend.

I know what you mean though. The devs clearly pandered to people that did think of him as a "romantic option" (that word alone is disgusting). But you can still, in any playthrough, choose to just hug him in the end. So even without going into the fact there is never any actual romance there, that is how you can always end it on an overtly "just because they turned you down doesn't mean they don't value you as a person" note.

It isn't blind waifuism. It's critical understanding and empathy for her character; her imperfections make her perfect.

Chloe isn't a bully, and wouldn't spit in my face. Go fuck yourself, cunt.

>>169858374
It's blind non-understanding of Max's character, her relationship to Chloe, and a non-LiS idea of Chloe herself.

She exists only in that context, for and thanks to Max. She was literally created as her partner, and vice versa. The story is all about their relationship. She is alive only for and thanks to Max. Your idea that she "deserves someone better" is so absurd that you can go fuck yourself, cunt - with a broom.

Chloe would absolutely spit in your face for suggesting you know who is good for her, call Max generic and "worse" than other people.

Let Chloe be the judge of who is good for her and whether Max is generic. I know it's hard for waifufags to accept the canonical truth of their waifu's feelings, but she says she loves Max and will always love her, and she says Max is the coolest, most talented person she's ever known.

You are agonizingly blind to character and narrative if you see Max as a "wet sock", and think Chloe "deserves someone better". That is so violently, waifuistically blind to the entire essence of the work, I'd expect a /v/fag that's only played the first episod to see more in it.

Go fap yourself to sleep to your anti-narrative, anti-character waifuist fantasy of Chloe.

Chloe exists with Max. Only as that. Can only ever be happy as that, be at all, as that. Max was created. Then came her Chloe. Created for her. Loves her and values her more than anything. Making each other better, complete, whole. Cry about it.

Chloe lived for five years on her own. What makes the relationship powerful is that they can live apart, but don't want to.

Shit-talking Max. Just when I thought you hit rock bottom, you sink even lower.

>I know you preciously love your twee, cutesy Pricefield, objectifying them like teddy bears
Eh, nah.

I really love romance - deep, fulfiling, meaningful romance. I love their love. The cutesy stuff is just enjoyable, and keeps the threads alive, enjoyably. You on the other hand indeed are a wet sock, romantically. "Deserve", "better", "not interesting enough for" - these are anti-love concepts. Blind to narrative, deaf to sentimentality.

I won't argue on Max's personality with you; I couldn't possibly make you see if you are in fact that blind. You are such an immense delusional waifufag, you see more in Rachel, the non-character that only has any purpose at all precisely as a corpse, than Max.

Chloe did not live for five years on her own. Chloe "lives" only as what we see her. She is a concept, a spirit, and as that spirit, she manifests narratively. And the narrative? That is all-encompassingly about, revolves around her relationship to Max, whether you like it or get it or not.

Chloe worships her. Talked for years about her and wanting to be more like her. Cries and laughs with her like she hadn't done since they separated, which is to find the motivation and determination and strength to confront her past and overcome it, to find happiness and carelessness and love with her, recapturing what she'd lost and been yearning for all those years,

>>169861778
He's unhealthily obsessed with Chloe, to an extent where he keeps visiting a Pricefield general even though he doesn't like it, doesn't get it. Even after all this time. Mostly just wants other people to cater to his character obsession. And indeed whines a bunch.

I'm afraid I also wouldn't be surprised if it was him behind some of the rape fantasy posts we have gotten, at rare times.

I still love him though. Sometimes. Not tonight. Will always resent his anti-Max, anti-Pricefield bullshit.

>>169861123
>What makes the relationship powerful is that they can live apart, but don't want to.
See? You don't get this game at all. The narrative literally starts on Max SAVING CHLOE'S LIFE. She literally cannot live without her. It is all about how they cannot be kept apart, how their love keeps them alive. Transcends everything, including time and death; a literal manifestation of a timeless, immortal love.

>>169862430
>Will always resent his anti-Max, anti-Pricefield bullshit.
Which is anti-LiS bullshit.

>>169862430
> Will always resent his anti-Max, anti-Pricefield bullshit
Same. And there's plenty of 'realistic' Pricefield posted where there's talks of dealing with what they went through in the game and before. How they both will have scars that may never totally heal, but that doesn't stop them from enjoying their lives. But he ignores all that and pounces whenever he sees some Pricefield fluff, acting like that's all that's posted and that it's unrealistic. Which is true to an extent, but it is by no means the only thing posted here.
Seems like he wants everyone to be some stereotype; Chloe a badass seductive punk, Kate some dogmatic Christian, all while now claiming Max has no personality and is just an idea. There is no consistency or rationality.

>>169862430
I am most definitely not behind the rape fantasy posts, and I switch between pro-Pricefield and not.

I doubt you even recognize the majority of my posts.

I adore sentimentality, but Max is just fucking empty, and I can't ignore that nagging feeling whenever I play the game, or think about her. I still love her character, and I see them, to an extent, as two parts of a whole. I think about the game as "them", the character of one is sensitively balanced with the other, and I like it, I do... but I feel an inexplicable anger towards Max.

>>169862936
I think you are mixing him up with our... friend, Bayest.

I think he has a pretty good idea of Chloe, even when he only ever communicates it a lining-up of traits and one-liners. And a more profound, sentimental impression and appreciation of the game altogether, Pricefield included.

But his obsession with Chloe indeed reaches levels where he makes her something that is not based in the narrative and her reality anymore, and where he is jealous of Max to an extent where he actually feels frustrated and wants to attack her. When she is literally Chloe's angel, her everything, for whom she was created, her partner-by-design, the one who she loves, that loves her, that makes her happy and whole. If he really loved Chloe, in a non-waifuist way, he would love Max all the more for it.

And indeed, he sticks around in a general he seems to dislike the majority of the content in, without ever posting any, or hardly any, himself. Complaining at odd times, at most.

>>169863321
>inexplicable
It's really not. You just won't admit to yourself you are a waifufag, because that would make you realize you are seeing parts of the game with a biased eye, are blinder than others to the most significant, endearing, meaningful element of it. To its fundament.

And if you really think Max is empty, sentimentally or in personality or whatever else, that is precisely that blindness.

But sure, try me. In the process, I will surely be able to make Chloe seem a wetter sock than Max, just to fuck with you.

>bar the fact that she didn't actually know it was Chloe.
Ignoring that she saves her afterwards as well (and ultimately chooses against letting Chloe die in the bathroom, too), the fact that she didn't actually know it was Chloe only cements the significance of their bond further: it is meant to be, it transcends even their consciousness. A narrative purpose, the purpose of their world. They were always going to be reunited, and they "knew" that, because their world literally starts with each other. Because they are fictional concepts, ideas, spirits. Conceptionally interlinked at the very fundament of the origin of their fictional world. Ideas spawned off of and for each other. Spirits intertwined with each other, in the narrative capturing of them that revolves all around them and that between them. That she saves Chloe without consciously knowing it is her establishes this beyond-them significance and transcendence of their bond, establishes their reunion as the purpose of this narrative world.

>>169864267
No, they're not. He's been around a while, and is really a different person. I hate-love both, but for him, it's decidedly more on the love side of things.

>>169864303
Well, I could start with talking about how she doesn't utter one (1) single inspiring thought in the entire game that can stand on its own, does she. Max's "But then it wouldn't be a moment..." line is more introspective than anything Chloe says in the entire game. And that's one of dozens of intellectually, philosophically or poetically engaging lines of Max.

I could use the journal as a literal body of characterizative work on her. What will you use against that, Chloe's edgy wall scribbles?

I can use her photography, her drawings, her taste in music and literature to establish her artistic personality. What will you take for Chloe, her tittie poster and scene mags?

>>169864995
Yes, yes, I've heard that view elaborated ad nauseum. It's lost its spark of meaning placed on narrative dubiousness.

As for Chloe, yes, obviously, you're intentionally having a blindness, but it raised good points. Despite all of this on Max's side, Chloe's personality oozes through so much better and more vividly.

>>169867164
>I've heard that view elaborated ad nauseum. It's lost its spark of meaning placed on narrative dubiousness.
How about you elaborate your views, then? Oh wait, you did: they amount to a grave misunderstanding, misconstruing and misappreciation of the entire work, and, once in a blue moon, if we're lucky, a vague outlining of your infatuation with Chloe.

My view is clearly based in the game. You yourself have admitted not even you are blind enough in your waifuism to ignore the symbolism and sentimentality of the romantical significance in this story. I know you know this, you are too emotionally aware to be this narratively and romantically retarded. You are just in love with Chloe, which is not bad, but love makes us blind, and tragically, you are blinder to this brilliant, most-endearing aspect of the story. If you weren't, you would worship Max. For the reason Chloe exists at all, as a spirit, lives at all, as character, for the reason she is happy, whole, experiences love, overcomes her miserable, deeply saddening past, shines bright, as the indeed deeply touching, rich person you love her as. Max gave you this gift.

>Chloe's personality oozes through so much better and more vividly.
You are just under a bias. Of infatuation, of preference. Chloe is more emotional. Max is less emotional. This does not mean Max is now less of a person, and, in fact, it is both another complementary quality of their brilliant dynamic, it is intelligent game design because Max is the player character and thus we connect to her (if we don't have reason to hate her, like you) on a deep level; with Chloe, we need her to get to us, and she does this by being more expressive, being more on the surface of herself. She is an open book to Max, and Max is the emotionally more passive, absorbing, wise, understanding one. But not always. Max is also explored very concretely and vividly as a personality.

>>169867995
I love Max more than anything in this game. I think of her when I think of this game. She is what I envision above all, about it. What I remember, what I associate with it. Even the love she and Chloe share, I have come to understand I love above all because it is her love, because that love is deeply Max. I love Chloe above all for Max. The game has touched me most profoundly through Max. Were I a waifufag, were I unfortunate enough to not appreciate the actual, narratively existing romance and love in fiction more than my own fantastical desires, were this particular romance and love not so endearing and touching and important to me, I would be an undying Max waifufag. One of the worst you'd ever see.

Stop bullying my friends and my friends' girlfriends!

Also, lord in heaven this site is full of sin

The "Max has no personality" line was the same one said by Late Night Anon and then they argued, insulted everyone and then fled the general. Or at least dropped the trip.

>>169867995
>Max is less emotional. This does not mean Max is now less of a person
More: While Max's emotional passivity may actually have been intended as a way for her character to work better as a player character, in the actual reality of the work, it if anything gives her an even more unique and intriguing personality. Anyone can be emotionally expressive. To show someone introspective, and have it harmonize with their behaviour, naturally, authentically, to create a character that manages to feel so personal and alive while giving them this precious, rare essence of an actual emotional wisdom, and wistfulness, a sentimental awareness, a consciousness for the unsaid, unseen, have her feel so within yet beyond herself... I have never seen a more intriguingly eandearing exploration of that kind of personality. Idiots think it makes her autistic. I think it makes her outstanding.

She truly imprints on the entire narrative, and it on us through her. She embodies what I love most about the defining feeling and experience of this world: the quiet-yet-tremendous feeling of a great significance, of a transcendence, of power, of great big things in small moments, of a storm of meaningfulness in the stillness of a bed. Those seemingly mundane moments that there's so much meaning in; just beneath the surface - and sometimes (though not enough) breaking through powerfully, tangibly - is a sense of sometimes optimistic and giddy, sometimes ominous and eery foreboding, laced heavily with nostalgia and romance, and a sense of great significance in it all.

>>169869764
At least this place is (mostly) nice. You may even see Alice around!

>>169869814
This goes especially for their bond. Its calm naturalness in being together, quiet romance and self-evidence of them working so well together... but at the same time the significance, powerfulness, the meaning of it - a literal time-transcending, universe-defying storm of love. The moments between them have something so incredibly intriguing, because in a very real sense, the entire world of the game revolves around them and that between, even though it is for much of it a very quiet and soft between.

For some of the scenes that explore this sentiment the most touchingly and endearingly, I'd say I especially adore the junkyard scenes in Episode 2. The sentiment lives in any episode, and especially in retrospect in any moment between them at all, most of every moment seeming alive with this significance of their romance for the narrative and entire world, how the latter revolves around the former, pivots on it... but those scenes in the junkyard and on the train tracks mark the real beginning of me falling in love with their falling in love.

A video that concentrates on little moments like that in a very tangibly character-centric fashion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJeqkA1SXg

That character-centeredness and "revolving around the characters" being quite literal in the cinematography of it: the camera circles around these moments. Swirling around Max and Chloe holding hands balancing on the train tracks - that induces a vertigo of butterflies fluttering about wildly in one's stomach, nostalgia and memories swirling around in one's head, a physical dizziness almost.

Max embodies all of this. The quiet-yet-meaningful, soft-yet-powerful nature of their relationship, the pivot that is their love, its narrative gravity, the intrigue of the ominous, foreboding atmosphere, the sense of a slumber of something beneath, the transcendence into the beyond... - what I love most about this narrative experience and world altogether, I love first in her.

>>169869773
I said I thought Max was too undefined to be considered the best video game protagonist, because she is in a game designed primarily around choice, where she has to exist simultaneously as a character and as the player character. For whatever reason lisg got triggered by at that and accused me of calling Max an RPG protagonist.

I never said she has no personality nor did I ever insult anyone. People just got triggered because I said Max wasn't my all time favorite protagonist.

There is literally nothing good about Pricefield. Literally everywhere outside of this general can see that. If that doesn't tell you anything I don't know what will.

I'm not blind to it. As I said, I can appreciate it, and I can singularly focus on Chloe unreasonably. Of course I can see what you said- and feel it.

I don't even know what I'm doing. I've been up since 12:00 after sleeping for three hours, and it's 7:00 now. I'll continue tomorrow.

>saw a LiS thread on /v/
>Jefferson did nothing wrong
>Nathan did nothing wrong
>Chloe is a cunt and she deserves to die
>Max can feel attracted to warryn

You said she couldn't be the best video game protagonist, period. As if it were objective.

Millions of people find Mario or Sonic to be the best, and the world is perfectly fine with that. When you are in an argumentative mood inclined to tell people they are wrong for considering a character to be the best, in a general for said character, you are bound to get shit.

For the record, I didn't give you shit. And have more than forgotten and forgiven whatever drove you to insist with such vehemence on that.

As I had said back then, I would be dishonest with myself if I made her out to be the most literary valueable character, her characterization to be a brilliantly-defined and expressed literary feat. But she absolutely has qualities, as a character, a player character, as a video game protagonist, as a literary figure, as a personality, that are unique and distinct and an achievement. I feel a lot about her, care a lot. And I won't let someone tell me that shouldn't be so. She's more than "defined" enough for me to feel something. And that counts for a lot, to me.

One great achievement being that she feels alive and personal, close and endeared to me. ...So without going back into the comparison of (video game) personalities of fictional characters we did then, how about you answer >>169765336? Surely you love something about LiS and its characters, else you would have left for good, or never jined us at all. What about other characters? Has a game ever given you characters you like this much or more, that you visit generals for, come back to? I'm genuinely curious - obviously it is perfectly valid to not prefer Max over other characters, and yes, as a player character, she is just by nature of game functionality less "defined", in some senses (though, as I'd argued back then, she still becomes defined, in a respective playthrough; the distincton to make would then merely be that "This playthrough-specific Max is the best protag ever!").

wtf I still love Pricefield (And always will)

I'm in a morning haze, rambly semi-delirium too. Fueled by this great track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdGadKrZB8k

And right now,
the needle is passing over you and I.
We are just like sonic tattoos,
our voices are etched in the back wax of time...

So don't take that "once in a blue moon" thing too seriously, please. As I've said, I value your contributions, your presence here, you. And would continue to do so even if you genuinely didn't feel anything about Max, or Pricefield. Which I know you do. But not everyone has to feel what I feel. And as not least reddit has shown time and again, it's somehow apparently even possible for people to be obsessed with the game without even liking Chloe, and being so sentimentally and narratively retarded that Grahamfield, which amounts to "picking Warren", is what is romantically significant in the game, to them.
