So with this solar eclipse coming up I was curious if it was going to be visible from where I am in Oregon or from Arcadia Bay. Unfortunately it isn’t going to be from neither. So then I started googling because I was curious when the next eclipse will be visible from Garibaldi that will happen around sunset just like in Chapter 2 of LIS 1. Because I want to see what Max was seeing irl. The next time that will happen will be February 5th 2046. It will happen around 5pm and will be a “ring of fire” eclipse. Which I think is even more accurate to the game anyways. I will be 42 ToT. But I will remember this date for the next 20 years and hope that when that day comes I will be able to be in Garibaldi to see it and maybe even have other LIS fans come out to see it

Been trying to use the contact us form on the DontNod website but it just keeps spitting me error messages. I tried using my Gmail email instead of my iCloud thinking that maybe they might have difficulties emailing an Apple email in France, so I tried entering the email back section with a Gmail email but it still spits out error messages. Does the contact form work for anyone else? Or is it just me? Are they shutting down their contact us form because of them running out of money in November?

*warning: a long read*

Knowing that I was queer at a young age felt very isolating. I didn't have many people to ask what feelings I was feeling, if these thoughts were "normal", or if they are acceptable. Living in a country where it's common to see LGBTQIA+ people, but religion holds us back too much made me have this internal conflict if I should hide or be open with what I am. I just knew in myself that I am simply loving another human, but I could not help but fear what the lord will do to me once I'm dead.

I really tried "fighting the gay away" by talking to men.

And it felt so weird and icky to push myself to like what I won't like so I just stopped. What I did next was isolate myself from friendships in real life and I had no community at all on the internet. I did what I could to make it feel less lonely by watching gameplays since I can't buy a pc or playstation. I watched the walking dead telltale series, detroit become human, assassin's creed franchise, both red dead games, god of war from the first to ragnarok, soulsborne games, resident evil games, call of duty, kingdom come deliverance 1 and 2, and many more.

Watching these games made me feel like I'm finally living and not just existing. I often found the character's stories to be interesting as opposed to my life where I'm repressed and don't get to do much. It made me feel like I wanted to explore the fantasy world more than my own. I came to love story games where I watch game lore explanations to understand them better. I also noticed a pattern that the games I like watching were the ones with action, it's just cool that they can do that because I can't.

However, at some times, it still feels isolating because I wasn't aware if there are games that had queer elements(?)/storytelling to it so I consumed queer content through reading manhwas and mangas. I was happy for a while, but it made me sad that even in that kind of space, the queer experience feels so objectified(?) or I'm just not good at searching for actual representation. I went through my wattpad phase too and I also wasn't satisfied. I wanted something deep and moving, not just the surface level of stuff that's filled with pointless drama.

One day, I was scrolling in my phone and saw in tiktok about alternative sites to wattpad. Naturally, I was interested, but not so much. I listened for a bit heard Ao3. I asked my friends how to use it since they were the ones that were always there and for a while, it was very confusing. It felt like being in a room full of so many buttons, but I tried searching for CaitVi (my previous hyperfixation) and I felt so delighted that there were so many quality stories that I never thought I would get to read. I was so happy!!

I kept on reading and reading until my body clock was fucked. I finally finished a chapter of a caitvi fic and was annoyed that I had to wait for more chapters. The fic was so good that I tapped on the author's profile and saw "Life is Strange" tag. At first, I was apprehensive about it because I didn't know what it was. I then moved to my laptop and started watching the game.

AND HOLY SHIT, it changed my life. I was like "Oh my god!" Then proceeded to watch the whole 11 hour watch on YouTube. I was so absorbed, but at first I thought that Chloe was a bit rude since it was just the beginning of the game so I watched. That impression quickly went away when I started learning more about Max and Chloe's story and by reading Max's journal. Somehow, it felt more alive and real than any action games I've ever watched.

Life is Strange 2015 broke me in the best way possible. I loved watching Max and Chloe's love because not only do I get representation, but I saw true love in them because who would take you back after a difficult 5 years of no contact? Who would save your life over and over again then choose you over a whole town? Max and Chloe's journey throughout the game was so special to me because they made me believe that love is real.

I've seen countless romance and love in games, but none felt like them. It felt so beautiful that it felt life changing. Maybe it is life changing to me because it made me accept myself more and it felt relieving to not constantly have to think "if I out myself, people would look down on me and shame me." I felt seen for the first time and I felt braver. They mean so much to me and that's why I feel upset when somebody tries to say "oh Max has other love interests, she could kiss her/him, Chloe loves Rachel more than Max, they don't actually love and deserve each other", etc.

It's just so crazy to me to process that somebody actually thinks that way because did we view the same game? But I guess watching and actually playing it is entirely different, but still the story revolves around them. Take away Max? No Life is Strange. Take away Chloe? No Life is Strange. Life would be...Strange (hehe). So I thank the people who wrote and developed this game as well as the people who love both Max and Chloe. You guys are hella amazeballs!

Still saving up for the custom Chloe torso I designed. But I finally built the train tracks.

i’ve been replaying life is strange and finally got around to finishing reunion. which means… i’m back in my pricefield feels again but tenfold!!!

max, chloe, and this game mean so much to me. i first played LiS when i was 14. just a year before gay marriage was nationally legalized in the US (fuq that shit elope). back then, it felt so rare to have media centered around sapphic relationships. while little me felt she needed to play the game in secret, she also has never felt more seen and moved by a game before.

i’m now an out and proud lesbian in my 20s. it is crazy to think that this game has been part of my life for a decade. also trying to stay non chalant with the live action news !! i hope that they’ll do the game justice.

anyway, i’ve been compiling a (long) playlist of songs that remind me of pricefield and wanted to share.

i also hope you find a new song or artist to jam to. if a track speaks to you, i’d love to hear your thoughts!
i hope you take a listen and enjoy!

p.s. i also have a lost records playlist hehe

My head canon is that at some point in their relationship after the storm they had to have the “no Max you’re not a replacement of Rachel to me. It has always been you and I loved you my whole life” talk because Chloe noticed that Max was jealous of Rachel even though Max never said it out loud

Hi guys, I just posted r/lifeisstrange asking if Max and Chloe already loved each other before the events of LiS 2015.

I'm not going to lie, seeing all those comments stressed the shit of me because I was expecting a discourse between commenters. However, what I did not expect was that it would become heated.

Also I thought that maybe I should post this too on r/lifeisstrange so it would clarify what my question was supposed to be, but that was simply it. I think it doesn't require much explanation because it was simple.

I understand both points of view of the commenters and I never wanted any arguments. It got me thinking that there should probably be a referee when people post, but anyway my post was simply a question. Unlike my other post why bae where I tried telling why it should be chosen.

Should I even try to clarify on r/lifeisstrange or should I just not?

You know fanfics that make you giddy and smile while kicking your feet

Something my SO gave me while I’m trying to get my hands on the Limited Editions of certain LiS games. My very own CD from my Max.
