I think the Life is Strange ending choices fit with the tone of the game. All actions have consequences and we aren't always able to predict the outcome of those actions. As Max we are reacting to those outcomes and trying our hardest to do what we think is the ‘right thing.’ Warning Victoria about Nathan bites us in the ass because we were wrong about Nathan.
I do wish there was a way to save both Chloe and Arcadia Bay. I wish we were able to learn more about Nathan. I wish we could understand exactly why Max got her powers in the first place. Maybe that’s the good thing. We can continue to theorize the whole experience. Or maybe DontNod just wanted to make us care about these characters so the end choice was more difficult. Who can know for certain?
I loved the entire experience. Getting to know these characters. I loved learning Max’s reasons for caring for them and her motivations for saving who she chooses. Both endings were bittersweet.
But the dream sequence was weird though. Just, no.

Somebody close to you passing is always difficult and it’s always unexpected. I spent the entire day with my mother cleaning her house but it still doesn't feel entirely real.
I saw my grandmother two days ago. Snarky and stubborn as per usual and now she’s gone.

I’ve been staring at the EB Games website for the past two hours waiting for my order to go from ‘processing’ to ‘shipped.’ Realistically... that probably won't happen today but I have nothing better to do.

When you’ve had two major depressive episodes before you hit 20 you kind of get freaked out at every minor symptom. Like it’s all going to happen again.
Sleep disrupted, change in eating habits and energy.
I’m trying to not go all ‘I’m fucked, all hope is lost.’
Logic time...
I forgot about registering Kairi and now I have a $140 fine. That’s a cause of stress. Money is stressful. Stress can cause all those things.
I just need to keep reminding myself that I’m doing things I need to do and I’m in a better head space than last year.

Today I went into the local Centerlink and have the payment issues sorted out. I had a low moment but the woman was understanding and let me have a breather before continuing. Last time I went I had a panic attack.
I ordered a coffee at a place I've never been to by myself.
I didn't grab one of the largest sizes when trying on a new dress.
I actually talked to someone on the bus on the way home.
This is improvement. I'm happy.

The worst part of moving back in with the mother would be the fact we both use the same brand of facial cleansers (I wish I never recommended them to her in retrospect). I can see about 5cm out of my right eye without glasses and lefty ain't much better. Anyway, back on point. She uses the foamy type because normal superhuman skin that can sustain any weather without looking too dry or too oily while I use the cream type because dry sensitive as sensitive can be skin.
The bottles are the same. I was rushing... now my face is as red as a tomato and my cats hissed then hid under the bed when they saw me.

The PS3 version is not as bad as some people I've seen make it out to be. I only had two major freezes the entire game and the frame rate only dropped if you played constantly for like 10 hours. Is it as pretty as next gen and PC? No. Are there better looking games of PS3? Yes but keep in mind the best looking PS3 games were all exclusives.
(Only graphics complaint is the companions eyebrows. Bloody oath, they were blury. Eyebrows are important)
Corymessedupface was a surprisingly good villain. He was my biggest concern going in but it worked well. I was happy it explained how he survived and it made sense in a 'this makes me scratch my head a little but whatever!' sort of way.
Alistair, I know you're a king but please take several seats. That is your mother. Poor Fiona.
Viv was the only companion that hated me. I think she'll like my pro-chantry character I have planned though.
Solas, Dorian, Varric (again) and Cass were my favourite companions by far. Not too fond of Bull or "Blackwall." Neutral towards Sera and Viv.
The advisors banter on the war table was hilarious at times.
The party banter left me in stitches at times.
Dorian called me his best friend. Bros4eva. He's apparently very very very distantly related to my Inquisitor as well.
Cass saying I was a good friend almost made me as happy as when Morrigan called the warden her sister in Origins.
Playing pranks on the advisors with Sera was gold. Sera is kind of like your childish little cousin when you're babysitting... just more dangerous with arrows.
Solas will always respect me. I cried.
Cullen romance was so fluffy and sickeningly sweet. Although. The desk? That would not be comfortable.
Mythal, Dread Wolf, Dalish being wrong about everything was a massive 'OMG' moment.
Headcannon that while in the temple of Mythal that Solas, in his head, is thinking 'these bitches don't know shit' and 'haha, please' whenever Morrigan and the Inquisitor talked about elven history
Next character I make has to be a Dalish, I feel like the Inquisitor is meant to be Dalish Elf.
Morrigan as a mother was such an amazing and really showed how she's grown up.
Did anyone find Samson harder than Corrymessedupface and the red lyrium dragon? I died... so many times.
Such a big world. clocked in at 86 hours and haven't even done a few areas.
Fuck dragons. Seriously, Fuck 'em.
The Warden mentioned Zevran in her letter! They're still together!
The story was great. Reviews lie. I think the problem was because the world was so big you'd spend hours doing side quests which takes the urgency of the story away. Most larger scaled RPG games have this problem.
Combat took a while to get used to. Archer/Assassin is practically an 'I win' once you get the hang of it.
That ending. THAT ENDING.
I am so emotionally drained.

If my father was still around I'd bet he'd be waving a French flag whilst making me recite, in detail, every fact and the historical impact about the French Revolution like he used to do.
It's one of the odd things I've missed.
