>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.

>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that.
>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it
>Epilogue: Use ur imaginations:)muh budget
>>
Rachel inadvertently caused the storm. She died and her anger towards the town caused a storm to start forming.
She realized she couldn't stop it so she gave Max a warning and power to save Chloe and help others (But couldn't directly tell her what was going on).

If Max goes back in time and saves Rachel, then the storm is stopped entirely. Jefferson and Nathan are arrested before they can hurt Chloe, Kate, and possibly others. Max still keeps her power but the timeline is fine.

Unlike my theory regarding the condoms, there is no basis for that outside the game.

>I really don't see how you can like a character, relate to them, even as a person, connect on such a level as we do... and then go and use them like that, inject more sadness and bleakness into their characters, let alone for an effect the narrative already very much accomplishes.

I'm not using her. I'm filling in a blank. Like I said, the developers picked a bad place to put the condoms.

>It's primarily about your idea that they ~must~ means she's sleeping around that is absurd

It's not absurd to believe she's having sex with guys when she's carrying condoms in her jacket pocket.

>And would definitely read your elaboration on your stance on the ending. I will not do the tired greentext thing and take it apart to argue where I disagree and whatnot, I will just read it and perhaps reply on a more personal note on what I relate to in it.

You're welcome to pick it apart. I don't care. I know how I feel about the characters and the game. I wouldn't mind a conversation about it, whether it's a debate or not.

You mean inside? Again, I'm sure I would find something to base it on that is at least as "reasonable" as your going from condoms to prostitution against canonical facts - which is, completely un-reasonable.

>I'm filling in a blank.
You are using condoms to speculate on something that goes against canonical fact, and you do so, as you'd said in the post I replied to, because you think the misery of that situation would make her happiness worth more for you.

>It's not absurd to believe she's having sex with guys when she's carrying condoms in her jacket pocket.
No, that's just characterally and narratively inconsistent, unreasonable speculation. What is absurd is your idea that it can ~only~ mean she's sleeping around, there there could be no other reasons. That is literally absurd, because it goes against logic.

>You're welcome to pick it apart.
I don't want to though. I also know very distinctly how I feel about the characters and the game, and I don't care for debating such an integral part of it anymore as the ending decision. I would appreciate if you do give your personal, emotional stance on it, I'm just reminding you don't have to do so in a way of arguing against the other ending, or me. That's precisely what I don't want, because then it stops being about you and your relation to the game.

>WE DID IT!
Three threads in a row, or so!

>>
>>170096052
At best we'd agree that the condoms are misplaced. While I do have my thoughts on them and think dontnod have valid reasons of theirs, I agree that it would have been way more sensible to have them in her trash, or somewhere in her room.

Chloe did fuck people. There is no direct evidence for this, but it is implied and I do believe this. I think it was never for fun, not primarily by any stretch anyway, and I don't think she slept around as promiscuously as people casually assume even then - i. e. I think it was a handful of guys at most -, but I do acknowledge this.

Is that what you want? Yes, Chloe Price did, at some point, and probably more than one point, have dick in her vagina. I don't think she's naive and innocent. As I've said in the past, her being sexually more experienced than Max is something I very much like about their dynamic. They have aspects where they are respectively more mature than the other, or otherwise balance each other, a complementarity existing in that dynamic (or in some regards even where there's a certain imbalance, and then a resolve of that tension in their dynamic), and yes, this extends to their sexual dynamic for me as well.

And again, the narrative significance for me is the romance in it, their love. It's so brilliantly, uniquely explored in the game, in themes, scenes, emotions, thoughts, sentiments, characters, their relationship, its dynamic... I see it all revolving around their love, the powers as a literal manifestation of their love, the "power of love", all the supernatural shit and other narrative devices as symbolism and metaphor, analogy for the significance of their love, its strength and health and transcendence. The entire story, the created world, having at its beginning, core and center, and ending, their love.
>>
>>
>>170097407
...So within that ("romanticized") reading and appreciation of the story and the significance of their relationship, I just don't often want to ponder the all the everyday-realism of these characters as young teenagers, the psychology of it. It's a narrative I experience, value, appreciate and interpret, that I love, as this thing about love and their wonderful bond. A sentimental appreciation of that, a love story I have never experienced this authentically, that I feel so invested and connected to it, where it's so important to me.

To me, that would be like pondering Romeo and Juliet's sexual identities, their sexual pasts and their "romantical psychology"... When the story, the actual narrative, is about them together, their relationship and their love, its significance for that narrative, being its very purpose, the sentiment it was borne from and context it lives in.

Life is Strange is obviously more designed to be realistical, and contemporary, and as such does lend itself to personal relation and ponderings on its characters' beyond their narrative manifestation and "purpose", beyond the sentimental (and above all romantical) quality of it... but it is still a narrative, something inherently sentimental, and something fictional, as in, Chloe's past doesn't actually exist - she only exists as what we experience her as, narratively-emotionally-sentimentally, and in that, I really don't concern myself much with such "personalistic" teenage-realism, human everyday details of such a supposed past of hers. The past that counts is established in canon, and it counts to me only as what it is established there. Because that is what she is to me, what I feel about her, what means anything to me about her, in as much as it means something to the narrative and the narrative exploration of her character. Speculation on her sexual activeness based on the condoms, and let alone baseless, counter-canon speculation on prostitution, just don't give me anything.

Yeah. My bad. And I consider that a challenge. Please find evidence as easy to find and compelling as the condoms and I'll cede to your point.

I haven't heard any logical alternatives.

>>170097407
>As I've said in the past, her being sexually more experienced than Max is something I very much like about their dynamic.

Their dynamic is fascinating. Although Chloe is more experienced, Max has a greater level of maturity and takes a more assertive role. She has an inherent self-insight. She's an old soul. Max didn't need experience to tell her about herself. She already knew, but only had to gain confidence her in conclusions. It's a cool dynamic.

>because you think the misery of that situation would make her happiness worth more for you.

That's putting words in my mouth. I take a realistic look at the characters, the same way the developers tried to place them in a realistic scenario. Twin Peaks, one of the influences for the game, dealt with prostitution as well. I'm not looking to amplify her misery for greater redemption. I do not, DO NOT, want forced tragedy. I expected a bittersweet, but optimistic ending where Max and Chloe could be together and was unsatisfied with the conclusion, much like the majority of the fan base. I'm not trying to hurt Chloe more for the sake of raising her back up again. That was not my intent. I'm drawing a different conclusion from poorly placed evidence in the game than you are. It's a simple difference of opinion.

Please do not put words in my mouth like that. It's not conducive to respectful debate.

>And again, the narrative significance for me is the romance in it, their love.

And we diverge where I don't see how the two being incompatible. Being broken, disenchanted and a walking contradiction do not mean someone is not deserving or incapable of love. That just means they're in a hard place or going through a hard time.

They're not young teenagers. In fact, Max and Chloe are at the end of their teenage years, being 18 and 19.

>>170099258

I don't like Rachel much as a character and less the idea of the three of them hanging out together. Amber craved attention and adoration. Despite sleeping with Frank, it wouldn't surprise me if she got jealous of Max and Chloe's friendship and forced a separation between them.
>>
This condoms discussion is the most retarded thing to grace this general.
There's not even a discussion to be had. Chloe had them, had a phase she admits to, and it ended a LONG time before Max ever came back.
Chloe had some in her wallet that were leftovers because she never checks her wallet. Max finds them and Chloe throws them out.

THE END
>>
>>170095648
The Prescotts caused the storm. They have knowledge of strange, supernatural occurrences that surround the native burial grounds.

When Rachel Amber took her bloodoath, she realized she gained time travel powers, and used them extensively to get perfect grades, make friends with everyone in Blackwell, and still be with Frank/Chloe. Unfortunately, she caught the attention of the Prescotts, and they kidnapped her and forced her to push her powers to the limit, creating a tear in space-time and summoning the storm.

They knew Jefferson was a fucked up individual, so they used him as the fall guy in case anyone found out about Rachel's death, on the promise that the Prescotts and the corrupt AB Police will bail him out (unbeknownst to them, he had Nathan as "insurance" in case they didn't follow through).

The storm was kept at bay after Rachel died and became a spirit guardian of the bay, but she couldn't hold it back enough, so she sent visions to Chloe's best friend, Max, warning her about the storm, and gave her powers when Chloe was about to die. The Prescotts saw the weather anomalies and knew the storm was coming again, hence Sean's email to Nathan about AB's "enema" and their "destiny".
>>
>>170099641
>Please find evidence
I will not. I don't care at this point that you won't concede to the point. You have already admitted you don't really head-canon Chloe that way, also think it is purely speculative and not really reasonable to see her still having slept with people after Rachel, and that the idea prostitution indeed does not have to do much with the game.

>I haven't heard any logical alternatives.
So you literally think every human being on this planet right now, that is in ownership of a condom, is also sexually active? You don't see the logical reality of the fact that people own condoms without being sexually active? That is not only a logical alternative, it's a reality of human beings.
>It's a cool dynamic.
Hella cool!

One example where I enjoyed this contrast in different types of maturity was when, in the Diner, Chloe is quarelling with her mom, and then later goes "Yes, mom." when she's asked to put her stuff away. She's Joyce's little adorable brat, like that. Whereas Max sits there, finding it adorable; she doesn't live at home, doesn't even call her parents frequently, is more independent, finanically, emotionally, from her parents.

>It's a simple difference of opinion.
No, it's speculation against canonical facts, and I wonder why you insist on that speculation. It doesn't give the game anything. She already has had tragedy and misery in her past. Prositution only adds more, baselessly, counter-canonically, to no effect but misery. Well, and to "explain" two freaking condoms, at the cost of creating misery.

But I do admit I put words into your mouth there. Your explanation did imply that though.

>I don't see how the two being incompatible
Neither do I, because the narrative does already explore exactly that deserving and capability of love in such situations. Where we do diverge, and what I question the compatibility of, is loving a character like we do these... and then speculating on such miserable things for no good reason.

Well Rachel was never really a character. Just an idea and plot device, so any ideas of who she was can vary based on how the individual thought of her.

I don't think she would get jealous of Max and Chloe. Her shows that she really did care about Chloe and wanted her to be happy, so she hid the truth which would have hurt Chloe (Though hiding it ends up hurting her even more).
Max and Chloe being together is the best thing Rachel could hope for. Chloe is happy and has another person there for her, Rachel doesn't have to keep putting off Chloe's advances to avoid giving a definite answer, and she can tell Chloe the truth without leaving Chloe feeling totally alone. It would still hurt to learn the truth but they would have their argument and move on as friends.

Rachel did lie to multiple people and did have her own motives, but her friendship with Chloe did seem very genuine. There was nothing she would really get out of it by faking it.
Chloe kind of hints that Rachel would drift away from her at times, so that kind of disproves that Rachel was just making Chloe follow her. Seems more like it was Rachel trying to keep her distance to prevent things from escalating in a way she didn't want.
Because if she lied to Chloe about loving her, and Chloe found out, that would destroy Chloe.

I see no problems with Pricefield and Rachel as their friend. It's what the three of them wanted.
>>
>>170101019
Her letter shows* that she really did care about Chloe...
>>
>>170100167
>They're not young teenagers.
...Not my point. But yes, it's wrong terminologically to say young teenagers. But we were also talking specifically about their past, so you know...

>I don't like Rachel much as a character
We are of the same mind on this!

Rachel as a character simply does not exist to me, really. And while I don't think she was a bad person, feel for her tragedy on a level, the cruelty and morbidity in it, she had definite flaws, and doesn't transcend them in as much as she is not an actual character in the game. She remains a mystery, and not really a nice one. Her spiritual involvement in the game is interesting and I've had plenty to think and talk about with that, but I also absolutely think of her as something only having purpose being in the ground. Her being dead and buried is narratively meaningful, is how she has any meaning at all.

I do however think the three could have a cool dynamic together. Rachel was genuinely just not lesbian, and not into Chloe romantically... and she is suggested as a caring and loving person. Chloe didn't make that up, Frank loved her and she cared about him as well. She would be sassy and tease Chloe and Max, encourage them, "ship" them hard.

At least I like to think that. I also want her to stay dead. Don't really entertain the idea of her alive. She's meaningful to Chloe's character and the narrative as a dead non-character. She can be dear to people in the implication of a person... but for that there's just too little in the game, for me. How could I relate or grow close to this vague, contradictory implication of a person. Funnily enough, a lot of people do manage... but I've always suspected that's more tumblr's wet self-insertion dream. And primarily a female one, at that.
>>
>>170100391
At least in the end Rachel is avenged and given justice, and the Prescotts/ Jefferson end up dead or in prison.
And Rachel either ascends to an afterlife or retains her position as guardian of a town she once thought she hated and couldn't wait to get out of (I kind of like that idea of her watching and learning to like Arcadia Bay)

Maybe at some point in the future a new threat emerges and Rachel must choose a new champion since Max and Chloe are off living together in peace. But this new hero and Max and Chloe can meet up and work together or meet up.
>>
>>170100167
Oh, to add, yeah, while I like to think she would be sassy and encouraging and cool with them, I also wouldn't be surprised if she turned out having a streak of a vindictive bitch and tried to separate them, to some extent. Which she could obviously never manage.

If we are real, even all my ideas on what Rachel means to Chloe aside, after learning that she not only fucked with Frank, but also Mark, and wanted to bail on her own, I have a hard time seeing Chloe being willing to have much to do with her anymore even if she were alive. Rachel did want to tell her, and maybe Max could mediate between the two and they could kind of find a friendship again... but it is a literal betrayal of Chloe and as that obviously something that hits deep for her.
>>
>>170102771
>she turned out having a streak of a vindictive bitch and tried to separate them
That sounds way too harsh and contradictory to everything hinted about Rachel
>>
>>170102771
*even all my ideas on what Rachel means to Chloe - or rather: doesn't mean - aside...

>>170103569
I also think she is suggested as a nice person, as I said. I must assume she was caring and loving, otherwise Frank and Chloe wouldn't have felt that way about her. She did not literally cheat on anyone, and I also think her dishonesty was a way for her to try and make everyone happy. She did want to tell Chloe, she ended things reasonably and for valid reasons with Frank. At least that's the picture the letters paint.

But I at least wouldn't be surprised if she had a streak like that. She did swing drugs, she was involved with "bad boys" and liked them for their non-benign, darker sides, to an extent. She did apparently try to run away without Chloe.

So yeah, she's remains largely mystery of a person, and in that mystery, there's also place for a malevolent side of her. Samuel says she was positive and negative. There's idea on the storm being her revenge, maybe havnig been originally intended to be haunting Nathan even, with the cut line about his visions and his Rachel In The Dark Room madness, and such. I've always felt ambivalent at best about her.

>>170101019
Also think this assessment of it is pretty reasonable.

Her spiritual involvement is obviously something different from her personal one, but something decidedly more ambivalent I think. She could have been benevolently or malevolently involved, or both. Summoning the storm, or working against it. Amplifying it, or regretting it. Leading Max and Chloe into safety, or trying to deceive them.

If I do make theories about her posthumous role, I prefer to think she started out more malevolent, and gradually over the week mellowed out, ultimately regretting the storm at latest when Max and Chloe reveal the circumstances of her death and discover her body - then wanting to prevent the storm, or at least warn and save Max and Chloe from it. If we want to go deeper into the lore, the storm could also be aimed against the Prescotts, or obviously their doing, instead of Rachel's.

>>170107416
You weren't here for the abs thing!

Have you ever read it? It's a fun read, or at least the pasta it sparked is.

I'm just glad we can now (hopefully) move past "Chloe's condoms" just like we did her abs and polish. While we have different ideas on this aspect of her character (i. e. you think she was sleeping with people for fun and could still be; I think fun was not at all the motivation and she has grown to dislike meaningless sex), we do agree that it's very unreasonable to assume she was still sleeping with anyone after having met Rachel. Because of what she says, because of how she reacts. It would make her something she is not, even without going into nuances of characterization. And while I don't get why you would want to speculate on prostitution at all, let alone against canonical facts, we do agree that it is pure speculation with no real relevance to the actual game.

Perhaps, but this quarrel thing is not only pretty common in mother-daughter relationships (or parent-child relationships altogether), we know this is especially typical for these two. Max says at this "You guys are still the same".

Chloe loves her mother, and her mother loves her, and to a significant extent, they do still know this. Their relationship has suffered, and they both have their problems and some of those in some senses stand between them, and there are things they can accuse each other of (arguably Chloe Joyce more so than vice versa), but the little quarrel in the diner does not mean they are isolated from one another.

The opposite in some respects, really. They still interact, still care about each other and respect each other, and it's the same old, for the most part, despite Joyce's depression, David's shit at home, Chloe's irritable attitude with regards to him and her, and so on.
>>
>>170109530
...And while I have a decidedly more romanticized reading and appreciation of the game than you do, we do agree that Max and Chloe's relationship is something precious, their dynamic interesting, their romance intriguing and touching, and that even if Chloe had taken a big fat cock just the weekend before the game week, she will now never again because she has her Max and Max has her, in a loving and loyal and committed (or me: all-transcendently and all-significantly loving, eternal and immortal) relationship. (Well, for you, Chloe is obviously dead and Max lives on without her, so it doesn't really matter for you anyway, but this just for the sake of argument.)

I'm gonna bail for the moment, so hopefully someone else keeps the thread bumped.

>But we were also talking specifically about their past, so you know...

Eh. Rachel went missing not long before the start of the game. It's unclear when she and Chloe met.

>Rachel as a character simply does not exist to me, really.

We learn enough about her second hand to get a good picture of her personality. Through Chloe, Frank and other minor character's dialogue, it's clear she enjoyed attention: wanting to be in the spotlight, be a model and make it in Los Angeles.

>She is suggested as a caring and loving person.

Definitely toward Frank, but some of that may have been co-dependency. Her letter about Frank scaring her referenced previous incidents that weren't as bad. He's considerably older than her, sells drugs and lives in an RV parked at a beach. Frank Bowers has a soft side, but he may have killed Pompidou's previous owner and sells date rape drugs to Nathan. He finds redemption, but not before fucking up a lot of people's lives.

Rachel didn't have a problem with Chloe burdening herself with a large debt to move to L.A. with her, despite not reciprocating her feelings. Rachel comes off as quite shallow and insecure, despite her outward confidence. She cared too much about the feelings of others, but also cared so little about them that she hurt them.

>>170102771
>Which she could obviously never manage.

Agreed. Max and Chloe would stay together. If Chloe was still bitter about Max leaving, she would stay with Rachel for a bit, but would eventually realize her childhood compatriot was her true friend and Pricefield would reign supreme as always.

>I have a hard time seeing Chloe being willing to have much to do with her anymore even if she were alive.

Agreed. Rachel is a shady person. Although outwardly caring, she uses too many of the cast members. Her relationship with Nathan and Jefferson is suspect as well. Overall she gives me bad vibes.

>You weren't here for the abs thing!

That poster wasn't me, but that is correct. I wasn't here for the abs debate. The pasta is delicious. Which threads contain the original debate?

I don't see the prostitution as anti-canon, but, like I've said, it's speculation and the condom placement was one of the many errors the developers made in a rush to produce the game within their budgetary confines. I'd assume put the argument to rest until either of us comes up with new evidence to support our assertions or you decide to find something pointing to Max being sexually abused...which is ludicrous.

>>170111958
>Well, for you, Chloe is obviously dead and Max lives on without her,

At this point I'm more third option than Bay. I chose Bay out of the two available endings for reasons I probably won't have time to get into today, but, as I've said numerous times, I'm not happy with either ending.

Even if Chloe had finished screwing Samuel in the boys bathroom minutes prior to Max saving her from Nathan, I would still believe that she and Max were meant to be together and form a great couple, free of infidelity.

Something like that could be cool too. With something like Max sitting in the truck it could be looked at from both ways. Either she's just sitting in the truck waiting for Chloe, or in the hypothetical Bay ending timeline Max took the truck as her own.

I would be amazed though if they outright showed Max and Chloe together. But that would either have to be confirming the Bae ending (Or canonizing a third option, which is fine with me if it wraps things up well).
They may just decide to avoid any conflicts and just set the game prior to October 2013. They can still sneak in some references but nothing definitive.

Maybe they could start S2 with the first few minutes playing as Max. You replay some altered scenes from S1 and find a better option that stops the storm entirely. Either stopping the Prescotts or saving Chloe in a different way like talking Nathan down.
Then it hands things off to the new protagonist, and maybe they will run into Max and Chloe later on.

Patch the game like Valve did with Portal when making the sequel.
Change the ending scene to set things up to continue. Max makes her choice but then says she thinks she found another way, she does that and the new and final timeline is created.
Cut to the new character and setting up their story.
I'm interested if the Prescotts or Jefferson will play a role in a sequel. Villains that had potential but that weren't really used that much.

>It's unclear when she and Chloe met.
It's suggested they met at Blackwell, which Chloe left two years prior to the game week. So she would presumably have had her phases around 15/16/17. But again, irrelevant. My point is just that I don't care much for speculation on that kind of stuff about these characters. They only really mean anything to me as what they manifest in the game, their past only in as much as it plays into that narratively, as a narrative sentiment, not an actual scenario or reality.

>picture of her personality
True, but while I would still say a little too vague a picture to make me care about her as a person, I meant she literally doesn't exist as a character to me. I mean, she obviously isn't an actual character in the game, and I also don't imagine how she lived, when she did. Like, I only very rarely have ever visualized in my mind situations involving Rachel as a character.

>Definitely toward Frank
I think she must also have been loving toward Chloe, otherwise Chloe wouldn't speak of her like she does. Obviously not romantically, but there must have been a close and caring friendship there between them, sometimes.

>She cared too much about the feelings of others, but also cared so little about them that she hurt them.
That is an interesting perspective. Well put, I think I dig.

>she would stay with Rachel for a bit
Yeah, if Rachel was alive at the start of the week, Chloe and Max's reunion might not have been as instant and perfect, if we do assume Rachel would actively try to prevent it from being so. (Though again, I like to think she'd actively encourage it. There's fun scenarios in that.)

>reign supreme as always
Pricefield, the battle-ship. We wor-ship it.

>Overall she gives me bad vibes.
Yeah, I see benevolence and malevolence. I. e. the ambivalence Samuel points to. Like, I could even imagine she was trying to deceive Max, via the nightmare, into giving up Chloe. Or something of that nature.
>>
>>170113840
>original debate?
I will give it to you if you promise you won't start that argument again! :p

And no, Chloe did not keep in shape by running from cops! She's into swimming, skating, has a basketball in her room, Joyce is a good cook so she'd know to have taught her healthy eating habits, she has good genetics...

>anti-canon
But it is. It goes against what she says, so this would at least make her a liar. It goes against the fact that she was chronically broke and hadn't paid off a cent of debt. It goes against the fact that she is appalled at even just the idea of sleeping with the guy she did owe the money. It's not impossible, but it's also not impossible that she has the condoms because she has a dick - which is also baseless, useless speculation that goes against some canonical facts.

>which is ludicrous.
Exactly. Which is precisely why I won't go and look for evidence to build a delusional case around needlessly creating misery for the characters. Even if you insisted on Chloe being a confirmed prostitude, it would not be worth making such a case for Max to try and show you how that is delusional. I'd rather ignore you altogether, before I go and make such a case to convince you to stop making such cases yourself.

And thankfully you don't: you do admit it's pretty baseless, useless speculation. So let's put it to rest indeed!

>I'm more third option than Bay.
I can appreciate that.

>I would still believe that she and Max were meant to be together and form a great couple
I appreciate that. Always did.

Here's to more productive discussions and agreeable conversations between us in /lisg/'s great future!

I still don't like your shitposting, but you have cut back on it, and I obviously know that you aren't really all that obnoxious with it. And while I also will never appreciate the Bay ending as anything more than a way to reverse-emotionalize my investment into Bae, I definitely am interested in your personal and emotional relation to it.

Chloe’s Seizure Inducing Abs – A Modern Parable.

Chloe Price lay back on the bed and sighed as Max Caulfield worked her lips slowly down Chloe's sculpted abs. Shivers ran though Chloe as Max paused her leisurely journey downward, taking time to run her tongue around Chloe's naval piercing. Simultaneously, Max's hands had just finished the task of removing Chloe's soiled panties. Knowing that the underwear wasn't the goal, but merely the goalkeeper, Max flung them over her shoulder without a second thought.

At that very moment, the door swung open and Victoria Chase entered, unlit cigarette in hand. "Oh good, your loser smoker friend is here. My lighter's dry and I need a nicotine dose stat so- what the fuck is this?!" Victoria stood motionless, eyes apparently focused on the point of union between Chloe's abs and Max's tongue. To add further insult to the situation, Chloe's soiled panties had struck the side of Victoria's head. Strangely, Victoria made no attempt to remove them.

Max was thoroughly embarrassed, caught performing a sex act on her best friend. It was inevitable that Victoria would hold this over her, either through gossip or using it as blackmail material. This shame would cling to Max's future as surely as Chloe's mucus encrusted panties clung to Victoria' left cheek.

"How can this unemployed druggie have such glorious abs!" Victoria suddenly demanded. "It's utterly unrealistic. She does nothing but smokes weed, which always makes people fat. Just look at what it’s done to Snoop Dogg!"

Both Chloe and Max were dumbstruck. It slowly dawned on them that Victoria's focus on Chloe's abdominal region was absolute. She apparently hadn't registered what Max had been doing to said abs, or even that Max had flung Chloe's panties in her face.

"You don't even have the money to go to the Gym. Fuck, it's so unrealistic. Anyone who thinks otherwise is literally retarded."

Please send it along. As in this matter, your accusations that I ignore canon and regarding Chloe's lifestyle, I'm entitled to my opinions. She says during the swimming pool scene that she's had her pool time for the year, which indicates she either has something against pools and only swims in the ocean or does not swim frequently. She's definitely into skateboarding. Joyce cooks at a greasy spoon diner, a type of restaurant not known for healthy eating. Chloe eats bacon and typical diner food throughout the game.

She has an active lifestyle, which may include running from the police given her penchant for trespassing and disregard for the law. I'm happy to debate her lifestyle, but...her abs. That's a bit shallow and pointless.

As this point points out >>170130360 , engaging in such a debate is ignoring many more important and obvious topics of discussion within the game.

>I still don't like your shitposting

The next thing I could point to would be hiking. We have that transition photo of her when she was younger, with a big hiking backpack. And when Max and her walk up the trail to the lighthouse, she's hella fast and calls for Max to "hurry up, slowpoke!".

>lifestyle
I mean, come on, I won't argue whether I can see Chloe ever having run from cops, but surely you know that the idea she'd have with such frequency that she's kept in shape due to it is completely ridiculous.

>Joyce cooks at a greasy spoon diner
Yeah, but she's still a professional cook. She would definitely know to prepare a variety of meals and be learned in matters of nutritional values and such. And as for the type of meals, it's more about how much you eat of it. Obviously there's more to healthy eating than calorie intake, and I do think Joyce makes sure to have healthy stuff around... but this was just about her slim figure, and then it's really enough to just not eat more than you need.

As you are currently having to, too. On that note: Good luck with your transition! I figure it's a pretty courageous step to make, at an advanced age no less.

Not likely. Professional cooks know how to put together whatever their place of employment makes and little else.

Given canon evidence that she spends much of her time robbing banks and poaching endangered animals, I disagree.

Hoping to get Victoria out of the room before she came to her senses, or worse, continued this inane monologue, Chloe reached over to her Jeans and withdrew a matchbox. She selected a match, but instead of striking the side of the box, she simply ran it down her glorious washboard stomach. It immediately burst into flames, and Chloe brought it to the cigarette in Victoria's hand. This piece of showmanship did nothing to abate Victoria's apparent autism.

"You've got your light, so now fuck off." Chloe said frustratedly, growing tired of the continued cooch-blocking.

"You look under 20% percent body fat." Victoria continued, pausing only to puff desperately on her fag. Rather than calm her down, the cigarette and the display which lit it seemed only to have stimulate her further. "That is literally un-possible without protein shakes."

Chloe's frustration gave way to genuine concern. Foam had begun forming at Victoria's mouth, and she seemed barely capable of forming sentences anymore.

"You... Can't develop muscles... From skateboarding!"

Victoria barely got those words out before her jaw locked shut and she collapsed on the ground, spasming.

"We need to do something!" Chloe said, looking horrified.

"Don't worry Chloe, she does several times a week. A few days ago some Social Justice issue triggered it, so she was due for another bout. If it goes on for more than five minutes, there's a tube of diazepam in her room you can shove up her ass, if you can get it passed the broomstick already lodged in there. Otherwise, just try to ignore her and enjoy yourself."

And with that, Max resumed caressing Chloe's immaculate abdomen. Chloe lay back once more in ecstasy, Victoria spasmed and drooled all over Max's dank "Keep Calm and Carry On" floor mat, and Chloe's soiled panties clung resolutely to Victoria's left cheek.

HEDONIST SCUM!!!!! HOW DARE YOU PUT CHLOE'S LITHE PHYSIQUE, UNBLEMISHED SKIN AND NATURAL CHARISMA OVER YOUR PRE-DESTINED PURPOSE? WHY ARE YOU DAMNING YOURSELF WITH AN ATHLETIC SINNER WHO WILL WRAP HER LONG ARMS AROUND YOU EVERY NIGHT IN POST-COITAL BLISS?

His awkwardness stems from his obsession with primates. Were he not ignorant of Biblical science, he would woo Max, but instead he spends too much time playing with his beaker and touting Satan's belief that humans came from hairy apes instead of God's hand.

He and the negress Ms. Grant are the reason why sapphic love has infested Blackwell, not Chloe's stunning eyes, quick wit and toned physique. It's not because Max wants to lie her head on her lap and caress her washboard abs or eat Joyce's pancakes off her breasts after they've been topped with whipped cream.

No! She would...never want to do that. No. That's a sin.

It's Warren's fault.

Chloe's eyes were crafted in the image of God, like any other pair. I do not know what you mean by deny them. Her body is corrupted by sin. She's been overtaken by Satan's urges to lap at the basin of sour Sapphic scintillation that overflows between Max's legs because she denies Christ's love.

>>170175772
Preaching is done at a pulpit and by a preacher, not by a woman like me. Ovaries are a gift to be treasured and utilized with the lights off for approximately five minutes while Warren fumbles on top of his chosen mistress. Sublime ecstasy comes from God and pro-creation, not the rough tongues of Sapphic sluts and their storm summoning mistresses.

Go back to Tumblr, scum.

She does, but tthere's no evidence of it. That comment is probably just a member of the Vortex Club assuming 'If they're not with us, they're against us'.

Not really a sign of distress but some people just post images. If we really wanted to we could hit 250 early on and then just be text-based until hitting the bump limit.

Indeed, the next things we are looking at right now are the Episode 3 stream with Hannah, Nick and Joyce's VA (should have already happened in February), the live-action series (estimated release set for this year, and since it is going to be released episodically, it could be starting earlier into the year; odds are it's going to be positively atrocious though, so I'm not sure we could call it "looking forward"), Vampyr (I'm just mildly curious, and really don't see myself buying it), and of course the inevitable Season 2 announcement and teasers and all that good stuff.

It's not a meme. It's basically a fact since she's religious. Why would she accept homosexuality? The Bible is strongly against that.

Max's relationship with Chloe would strain her friendship with Kate. They'd still be friends, but it wouldn't surprise me if Marsh didn't attend their wedding.
>>
>>170211925
Kate attended a high school party thrown by a club that was known to drink and do drugs, she even chose to have a drink herself.
She'll attend the wedding of the friend that saved her life and returned to her a hope she thought she had lost. Maybe she'd even officiate it.
>>
>>170211925
I mean, she doesn't agree with sex outside marriage, either, but I don't think she'd stop being friends with someone because of that, least of all Max, the woman who saved her life and loves her, and who she loves.

She'd definitely come to the wedding.
>>
>>170211095
>Her aunt is, and it's something Kate clearly dislikes.

Kate doesn't appreciate being called a slut, but she cares about attending a church that's on the more zealous side of the spectrum. Losing standing with her faith group is one of the reasons she decides to kill herself.

All religion means is the organize acceptance and worship of a deity (Or numerous).

It does not mean a set standard that all "religious" people automatically share. If that were the case then there would be only one faith.
>>
>>170210798
I'm honestly confused where you see anything in the bible about a loving relation ship being frowned upon.

In Genesis 19, the only instance of same-sex relations is where some men threaten to gang rape the pair of angels disguised as men in Sodom. So gang rape = not good.

Even more-so same-sex relations of the time period would be primarily seen between adult men and adolescent boys, via prostitution, and by men who were married. In all such cases, one could see where it would be called sinful, lustful, and excessive by God's law.

At no point is a relationship built around love, faithfulness, or commitment mentioned or referenced.

A christian, not one flanderized by stereotypes,but a faithful, learned christian would love and support someone regardless of sexual orientation, as their God and his Son preach.
>>
>>170212925
You're posting claims with no supporting evidence and where any evidence in the game contradicts the claims made.
Once again you want to just look at characters as one stereotype with no individuality, ignoring anything that proves your views otherwise.
Kate is not some pearl-clutching puritan. Her own actions show that.

Call it a headcanon if you want, I'll call you head-up-ass.
>>
>>170213258
You're taking what I'm saying like Kate would literally stone people for sin, but what I'm saying is she wouldn't be completely on board with it.
>>
>>170213565
And there is no evidence to prove that claim. You said she'd call it a "sin" or some kind of abomination just because she's told it is.
You're calling Kate a drone when what is shown is the opposite. She didn't like being persecuted and insulted for her actions at the party (Which to an extent were her own), so why would she want the same to come to Max and Chloe?

I'm saying it's part of her religion. Homosexuality is a pretty big sin in almost all religions. And because of her religion she realistically wouldn't go for Max and Chloe's relationship. I doubt she would hate them, but she wouldn't really associate with them that heavily.
>>
>>170214504

She belongs to a Christian family that tells her she's going to hell and has shamed the family when a video of her making out with boys appears on the internet. Marsh expresses concern about what her church will think when talking to Max. She runs a Bible study group. Kate dresses in a conservative fashion. That's enough evidence that she belongs to a traditional religious group that considers homosexuality a sin and disapproves of homosexual relationships.

If she was that traditional she wouldn't have gone to the Vortex Club party in the first place.
Kate's beliefs such as how she dresses are her own, the club she runs is voluntarily and there's nothing shown to indicate it preaches and demands others quit what they are doing.

No, you look at it too rationally than a believer would look at their holy book.

>>
>>170218590
How would it cause tension?
Max is her friend and didn't judge Kate, Kate would return the favor. Especially when it's clear Max went through a lot and has scars from it.
>>

>>
>>170219482
Max doesn't have a strong religious upbringing, it's a lot different for Kate.
>>
>>170218590
Maybe. I don't think so. I think she would stay firmly in good standing with Max, because she is shown as a nice, caring person that even forgives her parents and Victoria and has no problems associating with people that do not conform to her beliefs.

She would have to be a hateful person if she really felt even just slight resentment toward somebody that saved her life because their love for another person is not traditionally well-accepted in her religion. She would not strictly "support" or celebrate their relationship (until she's seen how perfect it is!), but I don't see it would create tension.

Stella is an Indian girl (i. e. likely not Christian, perhaps even of another belief) that takes drugs and says she would genuinely make a move on Jefferson, i. e. obviously does not agree with Kate's beliefs on pre-marital sex... and she is Kate's friend.

>>170219241
That's pretty admirable.
>>
>>170220034
I still don't see how that makes someone abandon or lessen a powerful friendship. Kate was friends with Stella, someone who uses a lot of drugs even if it's for the means of doing better in school. She's friends with Warren even though he watches some things that would certainly be frowned upon. And I believe it was Dana who convinced Kate to go to the party, so Kate is also friends with her to an extent as well. Max being a lesbian is arguably the least harmful of those.
Kate is not outwardly judgemental and if she is judging them internally it does not stop her from associating with them. At most she has a "Hate the sin, love the sinner" mentality but that doesn't stop her from being friends with those people. All it means is Kate chooses not to do those things for herself.

That's different than being a non-heterosexual. Pre-marital sex is frowned upon in strict Christian communities, but it happens. Homosexuality is not accepted.

>She would not strictly "support" or celebrate their relationship (until she's seen how perfect it is!), but I don't see it would create tension.

Not supporting a friend's romantic relationship would cause tension between them. It would create problems between Kate and Chloe. They aren't close, share no common interests and live vastly different lifestyles. That's enough to cause friction. Kate frowning upon their relationship will cause an issue with Chloe, which will place Max in a difficult position.

>>170219241
I respect that and wish Christians stuck to the message of their holy book instead of proof-texting or standing by antiquated traditions that were put in place to propagate their flocks. That doesn't change the fact that the majority of Christian religious organizations, let alone the more fanatical like Kate's, consider homosexuality a sin.

>>170220772
Kate's motivations for attending the party are unclear. I was hoping for more clarity about them and why David was harassing her. Another instance of Michel failing.

>>170222119

>>
>>170217476
You picked Bay or Bae?
>>
>>170223072
>Kate's motivations for attending the party are unclear
She wanted to experience typical teenage thing and try something different. She went there to have fun. It's not complex.
David was following her because he knew she was at the party and thought following her would present some kind of linkage to where the drugs in the school were coming from.
He couldn't directly pursue Nathan because the Prescotts apparently have a strong influence and sue anyone who goes after them.

Regardless of why Kate went to the party, that was something that contradicts her own morals. She even drank there and justified it as "Some wine just like at church".
>>
>>170223581
She didn't justify it. She said that it wasn't enough to get wasted, and she takes a sip at church and doesn't become wasted.
>>
>>170223780
Still indulging in a vice which would be frowned upon.
And you still didn't answer the question of why if Kate is such a fanatic, why does she associate and be friends with numerous people who do things that she would not agree with? Why would she even continue to go to Blackwell at all when it's clear it's some kind of hotbed of sin?

The answer is simple: Kate does not care. She does what she feels is right and leaves everyone else to live how they wish. it doesn't visibly strain her friendships or stop her from enjoying her time at Blackwell.
She has clubs where she meets with people who share the same beliefs/ interests.
Kate simply shows no signs of how you claim her to be, and "She's religious" does not prove a thing towards her being shallow enough to throw away friendships for stuff like two girls being together.
>>
>>170224445
The bible doesn't say "Thou shall not party.", but it does say a thing or two about two people of the same sex being together. And most people got wasted in the Bible anyway and didn't get damned to hell. Homosexual is something that is considered against procreation (And general degeneracy, but that's not the case right now.) which is what all organic lifeforms life upon.

Reminder that Kate is a closet lesbian and she envies Max and Chloe for having such a perfect unattainable happiness.
>>
>>170225970
But from her familial and religious background, partying, alcohol and drug escapades, casual sex and such "hedonism" would absolutely be frowned upon and things she would actively avoid and shun, if she were as extreme as you assume her to be.

But not only does she not avoid that scene, she goes to school there and lives there, and interacts with these people on a daily basis, even went to a party herself. Is friends with people that do those things.

I think there is a disconnect, and Kate does feel herself torn to an extent, between this teenage world of Blackwell and her familial background and upbringing, a disconnect experienced from without but also as a sort of dissonance, within... but the she is just not characterized enough to really ponder on whether this is a deep, personal conflict for her or whether she is in fact really not all that bothered and subscribes naturally to a live and let live mentality. From what we do see, I really have to say the latter seems more likely.

>>170226418
In what ways are churches, and people, forced to accept it, exactly?

Is it really the hemisphere changing, or people and the church?
>>
>>170225970
To some, music and dancing is a sin. It's an older belief but still one that existed/exists.
To some sects of religions Kate would be considered a severe sinner. But not all religions/sects are the same which is why Kate is not restricted to a set of beliefs you are imposing on her and which she shows no evidence of having.

If Kate believes God does everything for a reason, and sent Max as an angel to her, then she would also understand why Max and Chloe love each other. Then there's the question of what Kate would say if she learned of Max's power and the circumstance under which it appeared.
>>
>>170226678
>If Kate believes God does everything for a reason, and sent Max as an angel to her, then she would also understand why Max and Chloe love each other.
She wouldn't to that extent. She would probably see Max as getting corrupted.

I had actually never seen that, and probably didn't even register it while going through the game files either. You could use the camera mod to get a better look at it, if these shots weren't already achieved through that.

Or you could go through the files yourself, if it bothers you that much! There's a whole lot though, but perhaps it's aptly named and "background" or "screen" or something along those lines returns it.

Alternatively, you could try tweeting the one or more of the devs about it, with that image.

Yeah this is my concern with a sequel.
If it doesn't follow Max and Chloe, what is the connection point? It will use the time mechanics, but in a context that doesn't involve romantic drama at all? It will tell another story involving a 'risque' social matter, but this time it's what, gay men? A transgender romance? Just another set of lesbians?
Anything that doesn't involve progressing the Max & Chloe story just feels like a double-dip in a gimmick. The best I can hope for is a story set in Arcadia Bay but in another time period, like Fargo's season connections.

I really doubt they would just make another pair of lesbians, that would make the niche official. And LiS without lesbians wouldn't work for me personally, nothing against gay men or het, it's just that lesbians allow you to self-insert in a qt grill and care for another qt grill. Perfect.

Exactly. Chloe and Max have a special dynamic due to their gender, the tension and ambiguity that wouldn't have the same anxiety as het because it's obvious with het, and with gay men it wouldn't be ambiguous.

Fuck the people who complain about it being niche, just make it another lesbian couple. Life is Strange feels like a series about women and their relationships, romantic or otherwise.

I find horror to be comfy, especially if it is with elements of supernatural, mystery and crime and investigation, and its setting is undoubtably comfy: the mysterious coastal small town in the heart of Oregon, complete with fishing facilities, diner, gas station, church, saw mill and so on, the innawoodsy locations, the little details of its world, the scripts to stop and read.

Obviously it is more of an action game, and not comfy in its pacing the way LiS is, but I wouldn't say it isn't comfy at all.

Another game to look at for a kind-of-LiS vibe would perhaps be Dreamfall.

>>170268413
Square as the only publisher among those dontnod reached out to that respected the integrity of their concept gives hope that they wouldn't compromise that integrity by milking its success and pushing for a continuation with Max and Chloe... but they did already do that live-action deal, without even including dontnod as an active participant in it, so who knows.

I hope dontnod remains firm in their position though, come financial hardships again or whatever. If there was ever a continuation of Max and Chloe's story, it should be exclusively because the creators behind them have some kind of artistic revelation and a story that comes from itself, is inspired by itself and its origins. Not as an afterthought of having to continue it.

A crackpot sequel that would still honor "we're done with Max and Chloe" would be to have a story in that exact same October week in the exact same place, but just following a set of characters who have nothing to do with Blackwell Academy through different locations in the bay. Like you'd be following your own unrelated plot and your only connection to what Max and Chloe were doing would be to see the snow, eclipse, etc. Would save them a few bucks on the general environmental assets.

I guess it depends on your career background and personal likings. I'm in training to be a teacher in the humanities (inb4 Jefferson), and I love rain, so my searching took me all around the Olympic Peninsula of Washington and the Puget Sound. I've heard rumors that Seattle is actually pretty run-down and unpleasant, so Olympia stuck out to me as a smaller-scale destination while still being shorefront and a major metropolitan area.
More pastoral Arcadia-ish towns that stuck out to me were Bellingham up by the Canadian border, which is the home of a major university; and Aberdeen out on the Pacific coast, the rainiest city in the contiguous United States. Both had comfortably low crime rates and not too small populations.

Disappointingly it seems towns which are sandwiched by shore and hills are quite rare, at least in Washington. I know that even Oregon's Tillamook area, which Arcadia Bay is based on, faces north-south in a lagoon rather than directly out to the ocean.

Geologically, the Tillamook area is definitely the reference they used. Architecturally and environmentally, Bay City and Garibaldi seem to have been primary inspirations.

But those indeed do not seem all too attractive to move to, certainly not for young people starting career paths.

>>170279102
Yes, definitely. It's one of the reasons I love Chloe, and in particular Rachel and Chloe's subplot, because I relate intensely to the almost sad, desperate desire to escape, to somewhere, anywhere, anywhere but here.

"Mountains" resonates with me on so many levels.

Part of the reason I will defend Chloe to the death, specifically against David, is because, not only are macho Republican authority figures abundant in towns like that, but I feel there's a wider narrative of sexism there, of stronger men throwing their weight around, symbolically and literally, unaware of the social damage around them: Olympia has a firm riot girl history that I enjoy, and agree with, especially considering small-town sexism that the riot girl movement railed against.

Having feminist views as a guy was something I kind of enjoyed freaking dipshit Aberdonians out with, kek.

>>170281237
I definitely saw a wider theme of sexism with David too.

At latest in the confrontation on Wednesday morning, where he goes "women always team up" and calls them - including his wife - "punks" that he wouldn't have to take shit from or justify himself to. That's ridiculous, sexist asshole bullshit even disregarding that he was doing stuff that he would absolutely have to justify, like spying on young girls.

He is in a position of authority, and he harasses female students and spies on them, but leaves Frank and Nathan alone, even though he must have known they are drug-dealing douches at best. He busted Rachel for drugs, suspects Kate of the same, he fucking accuses Max of being a drug dealer, childishly, in the context of a meeting concerning the suicide (attempt) of a friend of hers no less, but he left Frank and Nathan alone.

He is a fucking coward that doesn't take on any of the bullshit men do around him, not to mention his own shit, and feels hurt in his pride or something because the cop department wouldn't take him, and he takes it out on weaker people, which is women. Until they are not weaker and you get kicked out, punk.

That all said, it's an unaware kind of sexism, and a kind of pathological one, and we know he cares; the narrative obviously makes a point of establishing that he does care, does redeem himself to an extent, and even admits to some of his flaws. Though still, I sympathize with defending Chloe against him strictly, and condemning some of his behaviour decidedly, requiring him to be the one seeking help and to better himself.
>>
>>170283229
Not to mention if you hide in the closet and then don't intervene in the ensuing argument over the joint, he actually hits Chloe. I got that in my first ever playthrough and it certainly colored my opinion of him for the worse.
>>
>>170283471
I luckily never got that, so I warmed up to him more quickly.

And while it is something we see he regrets, and that I have no reason to assume was a regular thing by any means, I absolutely wanted to slap him when I saw that shit.

He's also so fucking childish sometimes. And he is canonically not the brightest man, to say the least.

But I also don't want to only beat down on him: he is a "good man", that much the narrative implies. I do think he helped Chloe, in more than one respect. I do think they must have had better times too, at least some better moments between them. They managed to live with each other, that's more than you can say for many families. And he does of course come around, to an extent.

We know he cares, and you could argue that he cracks down more on female students because he wants to protect them, keep them from a path he saw Chloe go, and since he seemingly couldn't reach her, he did try to reach others as proxies. But this part is speculation. Maybe he's indeed also victimizing them to an extent, to escape his own "victimization" in society as an ex-vet that doesn't get help, not even a proper job.
>>
>>170283851
To add: I symapthize to an extent with his attitude in that scene in Episode 1. Chloe had literally stolen a gun off of him, and that is serious shit that less militaristic people than him would take more drastic measures than he did to try and retrieve the gun. Justifiedly so, I may say.

Obviously still doesn't justify his specific behaviour, let alone physical violence. He also got physical with Max in that scene, which upset me as well.

And another thing to add for the sexism topic: We see him cry and seek comfort in Joyce's arms at the end of Episode 2, so he shows weakness to, and seeks strength in women, as well. Literally leaning on her shoulder. That just to defuse the notion that his character had that decidedly a sexist narrative.
>>
>>170284956
Ha, no, it isn't. Having a wife he cries with doesn't prove shit. It just means he's comfortable with a traditional homemaker making him emotionally happy.

He didn't know she had stolen it, by the way.

>>170283229
I totally agree. I think you nailed it.
>>
>>170285543
>He didn't know she had stolen it, by the way.
They both knew she had. One of his guns is missing, the cabinet that houses them not broken, but neatly locked again. Who else would have taken it?

And with that, again, less aggressive people would have taken more aggressive measures. Like calling the cops on her. Which would actually be his legal and moral obligation. As we know, the gun, which is his responsibility, could have actually ended up causing a lot of suffering and actual death in the course of the week. Much of it would be on him, legally, morally.

And crying in Joyce's arm doesn't necessarily prove anything. Sexists cry too, sure. But I think the narrative suggestion is obvious. If they had decidedly wanted to portray him as anti-women, and explicitly in this context of power dynamics, I don't think they would have included that theme.

Spoken for him as a person though, sure, perhaps we wouldn't use that to absolve him to any extent of his - however latent or pathological - sexism.

I am all of those posts by the way. Just so you know David grindsmygears as well! I got him kicked out, and while I think this will actually help their family situation in the future (they all survived, ok), I did so gladly. Chloe so deserves a few weeks without that guy at home. Just her, Max and Joyce. Like the old days. Would be a great time.

>that theme.
*that scene.
>>
>>170286324
I think Chloe needed to be apart from David so that they could both grow as people, before they could bond as a family
>>
>>170286324
Speaking of knowing about Chloe's shenanigans...
On my most recent playthrough, for the first time ever I checked the voicemail and noticed the message from the cops about breaking into the Blackwell Pool. I erased it.
In subsequent episodes, Chloe had an e-mail from the police about the break-in and Joyce even texted me about it. The strange thing is, from all my previous playthroughs I didn't remember that break-in being brought up again.

Am I just misremembering, or does messing with the voicemail actually cause the further stuff about the break-in?
>>
>>170286684
Yep.

David has to see 1. how much he cares about his family and does not want to be without them, 2. that he was doing them very wrong, and 3. that he has to better himself before he can try and help make better other people, like Chloe. And not even an abstract "bettering of himself" - he literally has PTSD-related issues and those need to be professionally treated, because they spill into one's entire life. His militaristic attitude and emotionally uncontrolled aggressiveness seem to be clear remnants of not being able to let go of war, where there exist precisely those volatile, intense emotions such as fear of death, that you cope and combat with a rigorously structured routine, following of rules, discipline.

He tries to apply that to his civil everyday life, and to his attempts to get to his step-daughter, and it obviously fails, because this is not war.

>>170287302
I'm actually not sure on the specifics on that, and don't really remember the e-mail... but I do know that David defends her and covers for her against the allegations in either case.

Probably because of his reputation and he knew it would hurt Joyce. He didn't give a shit about Chloe, and I think the tearful scene in the darkroom was your typical "he dindunuffin" pandering because God forbid a character go without a redemption arch!
>>
>>170288529
I think that's pretty harsh, but it's your prerogative I suppose. Especially with your personal back-story...

I do think he gave a shit. This was not a sudden arc - we saw glimpses of his caring side from the get-go, have conversations as soon as Episode 2 where he seems earnest and caring, and there's lots that could be argued even for his assholish, sexist, douchey behaviour (stupidity, childishness, ignorance, traumatic illness, pathological complex of wanting to help Chloe; "tough love" and it translating into "helping" young girls in general).

It's possible this caring is a pandering (because I guess there kind of are hints and pieces that suggest that, perhaps, originally, dontnod did want to tie him into the Dark Room narrative, helping Mark and Nathan get to their victims...), but it made him a decidedly better character, and one that I think does a pretty believable job of showing a troubled yet loving man with his own important themes (such as PTSD), while still showing the problems that are personal flaws and that others have to suffer due to unfairly.

Obviously it is kind of shoe-horned, but both that and the fact that she calls him "step-father" on the cliff - i. e. that it cannot have been so bad when she comes to kind of accept him in the course of a week - has always also made me think better of David, and has me assuming they did have better moments as well.

(One of such moments maybe being that David got her the truck: They went to the dealer together and she picked it out as a totally punk rock truck - but really it is that she wants to feel the safety of a big car because of what happened to William, and it was the biggest car within the budget there -, and David was not impressed, but ultimately gave in, and Chloe was genuinely happy there for a moment. David gave an awkward smile and a tap on her shoulder or something, making a jokingly-deprecative remark about the truck when she got in it to drive it home and later that evening defended Chloe's choice against an expectably apprehensive Joyce.)

>>170291138
That's a dumb headcannon, mate.

She says it in a moment where she looked at her own fate, and decided she needs to die, at a point where her self-esteem was awful, and she saw herself as a burden; obviously she starts self-deprecating, and calling her "rivals" better names than she would have had she had better esteem.

David is a gross character, a caricature of an abuser that was stupidly made sympathetic. Don'tnod missed one vital point: victims of abuse don't give two iotas of a shit about what "they have to deal with", nor should they.

I think perceiving every male character in the game as a creep says a lot more about the player than the game. There is at least one possible and reasonable interpretation of each one that doesn't make them a creep. Except Jefferson, obviously.

Reminder that Warren literally complains to Max that her language suggests she "won't be having sex with [him]" if you choose the right options in Ep 1
>>
>>170291985
Again, your prerogative. I agree that it was her low self-worth breaking through to her in that scene and playing into her desperation, to an extent... but I really can't see how that would make her say "step-father" and say "even he deserves her". It seems genuine to me.

And he's more than a caricature of an abuser from what I see. He is a fairly complex character. I don't think dontnod made the point that Chloe should give a shit about what David has to deal with. Joyce's suggesting along that line is if anything an exploration of her human flaws, rather than a suggestion that they think Chloe should try and understand him. I mean, preferably she would, it would not be to their relationship's detriment, but as I've agreed, it is absolutely him that needs to straighten himself out and stop being a borderline (and at times outright) abusive douche.

Exactly. If you can see Daniel as a creep, then your interpretation is a bit weird. If you see every male character like that, then you're just a misandrist.

Oh, fuck off, you manbaby.

It isn't misandry, and those characters are creepier than what you say, and your rationalization is obliviously misogynistic.

Don'tnod intentionally put pathology behind Warren, his insistence, lack of empathy, opportunism, dark interests, and lack of respect for boundaries. Max felt she couldn't outright turn him down, and as the nightmare suggests, that lack of feeling of autonomy is worrying.

Nathan and David's characterization is so woefully simple, it's like I triggered your MRA victim complex.

He can accept Max's rejection. Albeit a bit butthurtedly, he writes that he understands she is with Chloe.

>lack of empathy
He literally comforts Max and Alyssa in very distressful moments.

>opportunism
Whenever Max tells him no, he accepts this. On Tuesday night, on Thursday after the Nathan confrontation.

>dark interests
Well, sexual interests. Pretty normal.

>lack of respect for boundaries
He does not break boundaries. Waiting in front of the dorms is not really a boundary. I mean, another guy was literally in the dorm.

>Max felt she couldn't outright turn him down
Well, she did though.

>and as the nightmare suggests
The nightmare is more allegorically intended than worthwhile as a psycholigically precise characterization of Max. There are some things in there that just do not have to do with her mindset anywhere in the game. Her fear of men specifically is a shoe-horned, forced allegory on the coming-of-age of a girl and the relation to men in that, both as people with authority and as a sexual theme. Max does feel iffy about him, but not that iffy. She does not feel threatened by him, he helps them on more than one occasion in the story, and she appreciates the help.

>characterization is so woefully simple
We'll have to disagree on that.

I don't think these are stand-up, proper guys. I have a good understanding of their flaws and actually dislike plenty about them, find hardly anything that makes me care about them at all. But the game does show greys in characters, male and female. These are not simply "bad men". What would the message with that be, what are you trying to say? That men are bad?

>>170293653
I don't think the anon was justifying any of what Nathan did, but giving a characterization that shows he does not do those things as a "man" and because he is a "man", but that he's sick for other reasons. Personal, and interpersonal reasons, biographical reasons. Not reasons of gender.

There's nothing liberal about antisocial levels of idpol. Once you get so into identity politics that you get upset over everyday situations then you're already well outside the bounds of liberalism.

>ignore the post
>Try actually giving a counterargument.
You're emotional to the point of getting upset over the word "misandrist". You literally can't deal with very reasonable alternative interpretations of fictional characters. Why would I ever bother arguing with you? I don't respect you.
>>
>>170294778
That, for women, men often have a level of entitlement towards relationships, hence "friendzoning", "cocktease", "nice guys" and such. The point was that there are dangerous men in abundance that women have to deal with pretty regularly.

If you can't step out of your identity in fiction, I suggest you shave the neckbeard, pop your head out of your ass, and stop being a pissbaby.

He doesn't accept it. He asks her multiple times, and is obviously oblivious to her discomfort.

He opportunistically shuts Brooke down when Max says yes, and then goes back on it if you refuse. It's basic opportunism.

His Cannibal Holocaust and watching of Kate's video is dark, and coupled with everything else, suggest sinister personality traits.

He claims Max owes him, asks her repeatedly, and if you think the very real fear of men for women coming of age is just shoehorning, you probably lack eyes.

I would even accept this, and in the game undoubtably more of the "danger" stems from men... but there's also dangerous women, and benign, helpful men that actually save women, in one way or another. This is not a gendered characterization of life - obviously it is "gendered" in that women experience the world differently from men, and Max is a woman. But the issues and themes are universal, the greys and flaws of these characters are.

>step out of your identity
How is this relevant? Besides my identity not all being what you make it out to be.

>He doesn't accept it.
He writes her a message that literally reads he "gets it", and after that, I don't remember much pursuing.

>It's basic opportunism.
And when he helps her on Tuesday and Thursday, he does so without insisting he gets anything in return.

>just shoehorning
I'm not saying it is just shoe-horning. But to the extent they did in the nightmare, it is. Warren and David saved her, they can be in rather good standing with Frank, she at least doesn't completely despise Nathan after learning of his issues, she comes to know Wells as a better man in the dormyard and at latest in the Gallery... and yet, they all appear as fear-inducing figures. That is not Max's psychology, it is coming-of-age allegory, and no, not every girl growing up comes to the conclusion that "all men are scary and want to hurt me".

>oblivious, suggest sinister personality traits
I agree. While he is an awkward crushing boy, I do think he is more concerning than that. And again, I do not "like" them. Warren is benign and boring at best, Nathan is a disgusting psycho-prick and an actual pissbaby, David is childish and stupid. But they all have other sides as well, are human and pretty complex characters. And they are not merely "bad men". If you think that, I have to doubt the existence of your eyes.
>>
>>170297336
>there's also dangerous women
to be honest the danger posed by the women is completely laughable compared with that posed by the men. The worst case is the repeated bullying of Kate, which turns out to only be an offshoot symptom of the men drugging, abducting, and photo-raping her.

>>
>>170298294
I wouldn't say "laughable" (with Joyce, Rachel, Kate's mother, her aunt, Victoria & crew, there are definitely themes touched upon in the game that are definitely serious issues in real life), but I obviously cannot disagree that in the game, more often women are victims than men.

Then again, the men are victims in their own, if more subtle ways. And anytime anyone has ever tried to argue the game is misogynistic, I can't help but find that pretty ridiculous, seeing as how it is a story about two women, their strong bond, their strength, their agency, its prime objective being to make us care about them. I think anything can be interpreted to be anything, but it seems very clear to me that there was no misogynist (nor misandrist or at all "gendered") intention for the devs. It's just pretty damn authentic, good storytelling precisely because of its unpoliticized nature, not making any actual commentary that I'd see. Showing a believable world with mostly believable characters.

>>170300563
Quite the life story!

I've actually moved twice myself, with my family. Albeit not outside of the nation's borders (but I have family in other countries that we'd - and for some of them still do - visit with almost yearly frequency, for most of my life, so I'm not all that boring myself).

And yeah man, know you are not a misandrist or whatever. As I've said, I do sympathize with a fair share of your aversion towards these male characters. And it's cute that you get so serious about it that you forget your own mind for character nuance over it. (It's also cute that you can't comfortably greentext on your device, and so go without it most of the time.)

And we so are. We are likely two of the most crazy LiS diehard fans out there, and we are combined in that love here (with a few other crazies, one of which is apparently gone for a few days right now) - if with a bit shifted points of obsession (we love it all, obviously, very dearly in fact, but I'm more Max and Pricefield-sided, you more Chloe and... well, you also love Pricefield, but at times and in parts for different things and in different ways than I do).

I actually used to crush on Vicky, so there's that. And kind of "shipped" her with Max for quite a while, as a guilty pleasure. Probably to a significant extent for just that reason.

I for one do not approve of that anymore, let alone Chaseprice; it doesn't do anything for me (anymore) - the opposite, really: I'm too diehard Pricefield, romantically invested and connected to the two of them together to a frightening degree (like, surrogate-love-life-levels)... but I can see the appeal. Even in Chaseprice, although it's an absolute madman crackship.

I've offered you that gesture before, once, if you remember, quite some time ago!

Kissing is pretty great; alas, I'm afraid we'll have to keep it in virtual gestures, because not only are we separated by land, you know I'm too straight. Well, I would probably kiss you anyway, and fuck, probably even "date" you, as in, go on silly dates and be intimate bros with tons of caring and loving homoerotic tension... but we'll have to keep it a /lisg/ love. Or we get steamy, and add each other on steam or w- whatever. But maybe our love belongs and has its charm here. So for the time being, as /lisg/ still exists and as we are not getting banned for it, maybe keep things good, how we know they are good, how they are?

It wasn't strictly self-insertive for me either... but kind of. More than I'd ever done before. Romantically inserted into fiction, that is. But I couldn't help it, it entered my feelings and dreams. And then increasingly created a dissonance, clashing with my feelings for Pricefield that grew greater by the day. And then it thankfully succumbed, eventually, leaving me with romantical clarity of pure, unadulterated Pricefield.

I have seen the abridged series (well, the most popular one I think, not sure whether there are more), but hadn't seen that parody video. It's pretty atrocious. ...And also a little funny. <3 :p
>>
>>170305717
I used to talk more about it. Months and months ago.

Well, appearance obviously plays into it. She has a rather elegant beauty. Beyond conventional, a more traditional beauty. Which is especially interesting and enticing a look contrasted against the short hair. I am into tomboyish types, and an aristocratic taste to it is pretty sexy. And don't they say we are into people that resemble us? I look kind of similar, share the general features. Likewise on the surface, I guess I also enjoy the stereo-type of the posh, aloof characters.

But more than that, it's her insecurities and vulnerabilities and quirks, the kind of adorable exasperation and desperation, her isolation and frustration, and to an extent infatuation, that shine through. A sad lack of and yearning for nurture. In a way, it wouldn't be wrong to say someone could care for or get infatuated with Victoria for similar reasons one could Chloe. Even though they are obviously rather different personalities with rather different lives and life stories, they share some complexes.

Anyway, she has her cute moments and lovable sides, and I guess it also started simply due to being able to break through to her, and the endearing way in which Max did, a certain type of intimacy with not only a stranger, but a contentious one. First it was just an interesting idea of a romantical dynamic - i. e. the meek nerd girl and popular posh girl - and I only later developed actual feelings and an investment that had me explore it and her more, not least in fanfiction.

And apart from that, she is a pretty interesting character just in her own right. There's more to her, Max understands this, and the game encourages us to find out, ask questions, investigate, connect dots, fill gaps. Which is a process that connects you to characters. So snooping through her room was an intimate, bonding experience, in a way, lol. I'm sure the dreams I've had about her helped fan the flames. But... it's pretty much burned out.

>>170307568
>not wanting to be nice to Victoria, be her one true friend who stands by her while a series of random accidents befall her, and she drives all her other friends away. Eventually she realises how horrible she's been, cries in your arms, promises to be a better person. And subsequently becomes your puppet to rule over as you see fit, because you engineered all those bad things, instigated little scenarios to drive her friends away, left her with no one to rely on but you. But you're so very nice to her, and it's actually helping her: Externally she seems like a good mirror universe version of her old self. Spock without the beard if you will. Then you get in private with her, and she drops to her knees, fishing at the zipper to your jeans desperately. She wants the reward to which she's become accustomed. The smile and the pat on the head. The whisper that she's done a good job. And she knows the best way to get it is to be nice to everyone at school and treat your crotch like an ice-cream sundae.

Oh, I definitely want to keep it here, in its charm, its natural fertile environment, and with a direction for our bonding conversations. I suppose, eventually, we could trade social media information, but why is that necessary when we have /lisg/?

I wasn't really serious about dating... Or at least, I was just teasing you with the idea.

I first was consumed by a burning love for Pricefield, and I literally nearly got myself killed through being unable to eat due to the depression. I vomited, and this lasted everyday for a month. That sounds like nothing, but everyday, consumed by a pit of sorrow in your stomach, is exhausting and frightening. I was traumatized by watching the bay ending.

It phased into a more intellectual appreciation, less destructive. I've been on this thread since March 2016. My love of Chloe originally was a romantic love, and appreciation for her situation, but that clashed with my narrative comprehension so I decided to sacrifice (ha) that infatuation for balanced admiration.

No. (life is triangular when!?)

But that's sort of how I played Max ingame with her reactions to Victoria. Or a less lewd version thereof. I wanted to get her friends away from her, since they just enable her horrible behaviour, and have Max be a good influence on her. Even if I had to secretly do nasty things in order to facilitate that.

More specifically, I think it stems from the fact that when I was younger (10-16), there were often big sisters of (girl-)friends of mine or older girls in my cliques in general that would find me cute and take me to see their rooms and play with me and whatnot. Some of it pretty creepy in retrospect, but nothing sexual ever happened, and I enjoyed it. One girl in particular could be called a Vicky. Rich, pretty, kind of mean, to her brother at least, and her room was and smelled nice.

>>170312267
>I was traumatized by watching the bay ending.
I've read your recount of that more than once. And I really feel for you, that it was so bad for you, and would have totally been there for you... but I also envy you, because my emotional connection to the game was never so strong. It's rare, precious moments where things come together and make me actually feel what I like (or don't like) about it. But it's always an appreciation, tied to the game, and like yours, also tied indissociably to this thread and my experience of the game and contemplation of it in them. And the people, like you.

That's one of the sad parts of Victoria's character. Chloe gets her Max, completely, entirely, and it makes her wonderful. Victoria gets a few moments with her, and already gets so much better - imagine what a Maxhug would have done to her. Victoria deserves her Max, a person that speaks to her core, and makes her better. I've kind of come to understand Kate as potentially that, but it's not like I am really into that.

Nova's been around not too long ago, but gone again.

Right?!

We could all use a Max in our lives.

Alas, we don't deserve her. Only Chloe does.
>>
>>170313908
>Max is Buddha confirmed
Max was also behaving like a spoiled brat and wasting her parent's money then arguing with them about it. She'd turned into a mean version of Max, meaner than Victoria.
>>
>>170314679
I don't think she ever does anything that mean. She tells Alyssa not to throw tp at her, as opposed to going out to seek revenge like Victoria would.

What did Max mean by this?
>>
>>170337686
She felt filthy, taken with a sudden desire, perhaps even a need to scrub her self furiously. Desperate to be rid of that feeling, she rubbed harder and faster, her hands a blur. Finally she slumped against the wall, her legs weak from the exertion. The slight curves of her chest, splattered by a constant barrage of lightly stinging water beads and milky soap lather, raised slightly with each uneven gasp of air as she caught her breath.
She sighed. Victoria always made her feel dirty, and for some reason, no matter how hard she washed herself when set upon by that affliction, she never felt clean. In fact she usually ended up feeling more dirty.

-It's gonna take place in Miskatonic University.
-You'll play as a student who gets mysterious powers.
-You can investigate the origins of your powers or use them for other things.
-If you investigate your powers, you find out that you are actually a Yithian doing the whole time shadow thing and you'll slowly go insane. Your choices and their consequences will make less and less sense until reality itself unravels on you.
-If you ignore the origins of your powers and just use them, you'll prevent some major bad thing that happens in the real world instead of your mind and remain sane.

-Not sating your curiosity lets you keep your sanity, and you'll unknowingly accomplish the task that the Yithian tried to accomplish by possessing you. But you have already played the game the real way once. The story obviously wants you to find out why you have your powers. You have figured out the truth, but your Yithian meta-videogame powers have allowed you to dodge the timeline where your discovery makes you insane, even though you have discovered the eldritch knowledge of the truth. In an alternate reality your shadow out of time figured out your purpose in the present and accomplished its task. Making both endings of the game paradoxically canon and non-canon simultaneously.

I once saw someone write up a list of small details and facts about each episode, having played through just to examine everything really closely. They said that there are multiple science magazines that appear around Chloe's room at different points, but, interestingly, once you enter and return from the paralysis-AU they are gone. I assume the intention there is that Chloe had cleaned them up though rather than to imply telling Chloe to be strong somehow made her dislike science.

alright cuck weeb lords. I finally played this game. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated. Its deep if you're 12 and like seeing a girl maybe/kinda have a romantic relationship with another girl. Since they never really outright say they like each other in that way. Even when you kiss Chloe, Max says to herself "omg!!!!! she totes thought i woulda have done that XD". Thats my other point, the writing in this game is bad, at best and just straight up cringy at worse. Don't get me wrong, i teared up at some parts. I just think, if you were to put this same story in a book or movie it would fucking dog shit. Its alright for a story in a video game but that's it. I seriously don't understand how this game gets soo much hype. Everytime i tried to get immersed into the game i just can't. The writing pulled me RIGHT out and reminded me i was playing a video game.

7/10 - story
8/10 - game mechanics (purely based on the way they handle time travel)

I would only recommend this game if you're 13 and get excited at girls have a friendship.

Video games are a very young medium for storytelling, you can't really hold them to the same standards as those which have been around for over a century and thousands of years.
Watch the Frankenstein movie from 1910 and you can see how Film was once in the same position.

Exactly. As much as I adore Life is Strange (And I really do adore it), if the same story was transplanted into a TV series or movie, it probably wouldn't work very well.

Maybe a TV series, those tend to have less standards for writing I feel. I dunno. I don't want to diss the shit out of LiS but like everything, it's imperfect

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
>>
>>170424278
To some extent I think this is also because of the nature of interactive narratives versus non-interactive narratives.
If you were to just watch LiS played upon a screen in a smooth, movie/tv-ish way, or even to have it played upon a screen but you still have to make the various important choices, I can't imagine it having much kick or emotional resonance. I can't imagine breaking into tears at William walking out the door when you have to let him die again.
While the gameplay is subdued as is it -- leading to all those sarcastic >"""game""" comments -- the very fact that you have to guide Max through everything, at exactly the pace you want, making affirmative movements even to do stuff like photo-travel, is crucial to drawing you into the world.
>>
>>170425606
I see what you're saying. I'm not analytical enough to know why it matters exactly, but controlling Max makes all the difference. It feels less like you're watching her do things, and more like you're there with her, I suppose is how I'd put it

>>170426647
Agreed. I experienced a sort of ego-death with LiS that I've never gotten with any other game.
To be fair though, I was late to the party so I could play through everything in one continuous stream. Having to wait ~2 months between each episode would have made for a very different experience.
>>
>>170427837
I played it almost a year after it came out. I thought it looked interesting when it was new, decided I'd wait for the episodes to come out, then completely forgot until it went on sale for five dollars. Season 2 will be hard, since I'll have to wait all over again, or just suck it up and play the chapters as they come out.
>>
>>170423704
>>170424278
It wouldn't work not because the standards are different, but because the formats are.

LiS is unique and while it has flaws, it does a lot of things very well. Some with award-winning brilliance.

If you find an author or director that creates with words or a camera the world, scenes, the atmosphere and experience, let alone the characters, LiS did, do let me know. Or just wait for the actual TV series they are making and you will see that it fails not because of the plot or surficial story not meeting some weird standard (if you think movies have a high standard for storytelling, I don't know what to tell you, except maybe that the standard has if anything gone down; I don't read many modern books, but I'm sure there's tons of popular garbage there as well), but that an entire world is lost in translation, because LiS does some things a (live-action) movie or book never could.

That is storytelling. Story is more than plot, course of action and events. It's moments, emotions, imagery, environments, sentiments, humans. A bird flying by, a chatter, a look, a gesture. All things it would take a very good author to create or director to recreate, have you feel and respond to in the way this game does. The thousands of intricacies that make a scene. LiS is narratively special in any context, and hasn't become the phenomenon it did just because of the interactive quality of the narrative or lesser standards.

It's ignorant and arrogant to say "it is good... for a game", and the original post was just BS. At worst you'd describe LiS as pioneering, charting new territory - a worthwhile endeavour, and a rather successful effort. An in some ways flawed, but in others masterful work.

I do agree that the particularly grave flaw that is the confused clashing of sci-fi vs. fantastical narrative elements of the story would be less forgiven by a TV audience at large however. Not like the gaming audience had taken to it too well either, though.
>>
>>170428285
But I'm not even sure you two meant it like I took it. I just do think LiS doesn't have to hide from other mediums of storytelling. It's a piece of storytelling the world of video games can be proud of, creating a narrative experience that many people have said is something wholly unique to them.

I think one of the highest achievements of LiS is how close and personal, authentic and alive its world, and above all its characters feel. How it makes you personally relate to and care for them.

That's an achievement of the format (interaction), the characterization (relation), the world-building (projection) and the narrative (immersion). You get connected to it very personally, in emotions, thoughts and decisions, actions, memories, associations. Intellectually connected as well, especially if you had been around for the release schedule, analyzing, interpreting. The game makes you feel and think, rationalize and romanticize.

I have read stories that were better from a literary standpoint, seen films that were better cinematically... but LiS stands as its own experience, unique, and as something I have personally connected to in a way I never did any of the great books or films, let alone their characters. Hadn't felt like I've been those places, met those people quite like I did here.

I must think that it is something special because it is special to me.

I (first anon you quoted) was trying to talk to that user within their frame of mind. Personally I think LiS is the most crowning achievement in gaming-qua-art. I'm embarrassed to say, as a /lit/fag at a significant /lit/ university, I've never encountered a work of writing that moved me like LiS.

I've argued with a friend of mine in the past, who greatly enjoyed LiS himself, on this point. In his view, LiS isn't really transcendent because it is 'mere mimesis', IE it does an excellent job copying a certain world and feeling (like >>170430532 says), but it doesn't go beyond that.
I disagree with this, but I find it hard to articulate a rebuttal. I guess to some extent I think Video Games' specific purview *is* mimesis, so excellence in this category should be viewed as overall excellence, in the same sense that visual symbolism is more of an notable and relevant achievement in movies than in literature.
But he maintains the most artistically acclaimed games of today like LiS or Firewatch will be looked at decades from now the same way we look at the 'Talkies' of 1900-1920

You're right about the mixing of sci-fi and fantastical elements, though mentioning TV makes me think specifically of The X-Files, which is an interesting example in this regard. If you actually think about it, the world of the X-Files is rather nonsensical in its combination of the Abrahamic supernatural and the modern conspiratorial. To give a specific example, the show reveals the Bible, OT, and Quran came from aliens, yet the characters actually meet God and Satan at points.
Fans never seem to notice this problem. Maybe it's because such a TV show is stretched across hundreds of hours whereas LiS is only 13-17 hours total.

>>170435268
The viewers of X-Files can take Mulder's or Scully's perspective and believe what they think they saw or be skeptical. There's a whole big section of the series where their roles get reversed for a while.
>>
>>170435268
I see. I figured you weren't actually sympathizing with much if any of the bullshit in the post you'd replied to, but LiS has to be defended for its merits!

I think some of what LiS does is timeless, and excellent precisely because of that timelessness. I think it does transcend its influences and its time in that, such as in the relatability and authenticity of its characters that speak to people on profound levels, emotionally and otherwise. Or the artistry of its visuals, that do in a way grow even more alive precisely in retrospect, with distance. But I do see that other parts of it will not age very well at all.

The X-Files comparison is interesting, because I think its cult effect does have a lot to do with the intrigue of that disparity... but as opposed to LiS, I don't feel X-Files was ever so reliant, narratively, upon the figurative meaning of the fantastical in the way I take LiS to be, where, since dontnod didn't convey the meaning very well, and certainly didn't transition or harmonize between sci-fi and fantasy very well, that disparity was thus sometimes at best confusing or at worst downright painful. In that respect, it is mimetic, and not very successfully: it takes from a variety of influences, at times pretty blatantly, and it throws them together under larger narrative intentions and sentiments that do not work with those influences.

Take the fundamental concept of the structure of in the end going back to the point where it all began, clearly "inspired" by Donnie Darko - that does not at all work in a narrative where the protagonist has time travelling powers themselves, because either these powers mean something or they don't. If they do, going back renders the powers meaningless; if they don't, going back renders the story meaningless.

But time probably also has to do with it. It's hard to strike that balance, let alone find a harmony, of those elements while at the same telling what is primarily a story about characters.

>bae is the selfish ending, bay is the good ending, bay means Max is mature and learning to accept things
shit is with the rest of the game
For the entire duration, in every medium from the diary to conversations to internal monologues, Max is CONSTANTLY affirming that Chloe is the most important thing in the world to her, that there is no force which could ever make her voluntarily leave Chloe again, that her gift is senseless if it isn't used to save Chloe, that she will protect Chloe over everything else, and even specifically denouncing the idea of a utilitarian tradeoff through moments like the diary's mention of Star Trek. This continues straight up to about 30 seconds before the final choice, with Chloe stating "we are fated to be here, together, alive... fuck the town, this storm is Rachel's revenge"
People seem to think that a single tacked-on one-liner about how Chloe's mom shouldn't die in a diner outweighs the previous 15 hours of ironclad characterization and promises - while that 'mom' argument is as much a selfish appeal to emotion as anything they criticize.

Oh yes, sweet preaching to the choir.

Indeed it is, and it is "immature" precisely in that incongruity: in it, Max does a 180 on all she's done, felt, thought was right, stood and fought for, all she was, in a defeat of identity and humanity and love, an admission of the tragically blind thought that she was wrong for it all, and shouldn't have followed her heart and what she believed in and cared about, but sat down and eat the shit life gives her like a good kid. It's an undermining and literal undoing of the growth of the main characters in a coming-of-age story, the cruellest death of love in a love story, a betrayal of oneself and it, at best the fatalistic message of not standing up for ourselves and what we believe in, but that to be an adult means to give up ourselves to society and duck under its priorities, sitting down and succumbing to our guilt and fears and doubts, giving up her determination and dedication and confidence and love and loved one, her priorities, feelings, beliefs, to the mouths of the cruel arbitrarity of the cosmos, and supposed demands of an unpersonalized "greater good" in it.

And more, not only metaphorically speaking, there is no greater good in the relinquishing of ourselves and our loves to the cosmos; nature's disasters are inevitable, and we deal with them precisely by fighting and not giving up in the face of them. If anything, they are a greater good, in a variety of not only philosophical, but even evolutional ways, where humanity's growth stems from to begin with - the weathering of storms, the fight against nature's calamities, the holding-on to and moving-on with ourselves and what is dear and important to us, our humanity and love, through them.
