Life is Strange

It'll be easier now I've realised that the sketches are clues, but when I was first playing I didn't even know to look for them and got them by luck. And like I said earlier, I was pretty sure I knew where one was near the end of episode 2, but I couldn't get the prompt to appear.

I mean.

...That last decision is in a chapter by itself. So.

Not that difficult to reload.

When I destroy Nathan I want it to be as the fury of an angry god.

I mean, if not for the rewind, Nathan was my first pick too. But he's just so flippant about it. He deserves a lot worse, but. I mean, hell, he doesn't seem like the sort of person for whom suspension is a punishment. Not having to go to class would probably be a reward for him. And, also, give him more time to break into my room. No thanks.

Wait, is there a scene where that happens explicitly? I just saw a lot of flirting, and Max deflecting Chloe's text message proposal with "It's illegal in Oregon."

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

It was a joke.

The ambiguity was deliberate.

What I meant was I hid, then came out of hiding to take the blame for the marijuana.

Hmm...yeah, I've been suspicious of Mr. Jefferson since episode one. While I don't think he's a bad person (at least, not intentionally so), some of the comments that he's made rubbed me the wrong way.

That said, I did not approve of his actions here, and if he was involved with Rachel, though, then my opinion of him lowers even further. If I have the opportunity, I'm calling him out on his behavior.

Still, I went with Nathan - telling the principal that he had a gun turned out to help get him suspended, so I think I maybe this will help me out in a bigger way later on.

Do you think that Nathan's family will show up? His dad actually texted me about my "slanderous accusations" or something like that, so I think he might appear in person, especially with his son suspended and threatening a lawsuit.

I was a little confused at first too.

...Maybe it's a visual metaphor, or something? It is the choice that Chloe responds the most positively to...

Oh God! Natural light!

x2 ... Oh. Sorry I didn't catch that.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

It's my bad.

I shouldn't make bad jokes.

It was a pretty good joke, actually. I'm just dense.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

So, yes, part of my decision has to do with not wanting to get shit over supposedly being a drug dealer.

Interesting how David doesn't actually have a problem with pot, so much as Chloe having it. I think this episode was trying to show a more sympathetic side to him, and I think it succeeded in some respects. That said, he still hit Chloe in some paths (though ultimately not in mine, so I don't think that I can call him out on it), which is not okay, so...I don't know, I personally think that at the very least, he needs to apologize to Chloe and get counseling - probably more than that, I don't know, I'm not a psychiatrist.

Oh God! Natural light!

Yeah. Nathan's dad will text you and threaten to sue your ass if you keep pushing 'slanderous accusations' against him. It was BEYOND creepy. That is SO not appropriate and, really, you're threatening a KID?! Then again, the fact that he would might suggest he actually DOES know what Nathan is doing and feels threatened by you trying to do something about it. Maybe he really does feel threatened by you? But, regardless, that's creepy as fuck.

Max is eighteen, so technically Nathan's Dad can threaten to sue her, but you're right that it's really messed up.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

It wasn't the threatening to sue her part that creeped me out. He tracked down a teenager's cell phone number which, how the heck did he get that? Did Nathan finish sending his threatening text and ask good ol' daddy if he wanted to send her a threat too? Legal Adult or not, we're talking about a high schooler who is sent a threatening text message by a grown adult man, probably in his 40s that she did not give her number too. There are so many things wrong with that.

Yeah, definitely. I get the feeling that whole family's got issues.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

I blamed Nathan too. David is an ass, but I actually thing he is honest about his intentions. Mr. Jefferson rubs me off sometimes and he wasn't being honest, but I don't think he is intentionally a bad person and pinning a suicide on him seems too much. So, yeah, Nathan, even if I think it is fucking dangerous. Made me regret not telling the principal about the gun earlier.

David looks regretful immediately after hitting her, before going back to his military routine. I think he is genuinely unsure to how to deal with Chloe and acts as if he was still in the military because of it. The slap is a result of that. So, yeah, I think he needs counseling. He is an asshole, but I don't think he is beyond saving.

I'm willing to bet that the text from "Nathan's dad" actually came from Nathan himself.

Was that the text from an unknown number? I'd assumed that was Nathan himself.

A friend of mine has a problem with the Steam version in episode 1. He's in the dorm to collect Warren's flash drive, but he says the only prompt available to him is to lie on the bed, no other options are available. Has anyone else had this problem, or know of a fix?

Dumb question but, did he try to restart already? I haven't had this specific problem, but I did got one when confronting Frank in the junkyard. I got out of the conversation part ways and was allowed to walk as normal, while Frank and Chloe just stand there. I don't think I could interact with anything either. This was solved with a restart.

He's reloaded from the last save I think at least, but I dunno if he's closed and restarted the game. I guess he's tried all the obvious stuff.

There are TWO texts from an Unknown Number if you rat out Nathan. One appears after you see the vandalized bedroom wall and is almost assuredly Nathan. Another comes in about you getting sued from a different number entirely and its said to be Nathan's father. I feel like the second text has to be his Father... Nathan wouldn't be so... legal about it?

Anyway, nothing new, but I think its becoming clear David is a Red Herring. Max seems absolutely sure he is involved somehow, and despite his shitty behavior, I believe him when he says he cares about the students. Not that it justifies said behavior, obviously.

Mr. Jefferson creeps me out though.

During that whole incident, at every choice it gave me I had on the back of my mind "thank god I explored her entire room on a whim". I might have cheated a little bit to remember what the verses meant though.

I had it kinda spoiled that someone could legit die in this episode, but I thought it would be Chloe—-, then the drug dealer guy happened and I thought that was it, I was completely caught off guard with Kate—- though.

Also, fuck this game for not letting me follow her after she talks to Jefferson, that would've been my real choice, screw class at that point.

...I feel bad that that never even occurred to me.

I tried so hard to do that.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

I did too.
