The first part had been released, which was "Tape 1: Bloom". This post will contain spoilers, so don't click the "read more" part of you want to enjoy this game without having seen any spoilers! […]

Wir zocken regelmäßig Spiele zusammen. Und mit Bettdecke auf dem Sofa einhuddeln ist nach manchen Wochen einfach... notwendig.

Heute haben wir #Banishers - Ghosts of New Eden angefangen. Starkes Story Telling, super Voice Acting - ich bin schockverliebt. Warum ist das nicht super populär?!

Il est important de relayer et soutenir les travailleurs et travailleuses qui se battent actuellement pour leurs emplois et leurs conditions de travail.
C'est ce qui est en train de se passer chez Don't Nod. Iels sont en grève reconductible depuis lundi vu que leur direction, après avoir fait n'importe quoi, ne pas avoir écouté les alertes des équipes, veut maintenant licencier 1/3 des effectifs, tout en ne négociant pratiquement rien. Mais derrière leur lutte, iels se battent aussi pour nous. Les patrons sont solidaires, ils agissent de concert et s'entraident. Si ça passe chez Don't Nod, vous pouvez être sûr qu'il y en aura d'autres.

N'hésitez à contribuer à leur caisse de grève

Les camarades du @STJV à Don't Nod sont en grève, car la direction du studio a décidé de licencier un tiers des travailleurs. Pour tenir la grève dans le temps, iels ont besoin de notre soutien, notamment à notre générosité pour la caisse de grève. Si vous le pouvez, n'hésitez pas à donner.

About the franchise Life Is Strange from DONTNOD and Square Enix

===

I watched a video essay years ago on the nature of determinism and regret. It used Life Is Strange as the vehicle to discuss a basic storyline and how we perceive choices. The vid made it out that this game was written by cishet white doods trying to write about a young, potentially queer, young woman. It didn't sound good so I wrote off the game as an interesting discussion on writing, and the concepts the game plays with. Y'know, one to talk about; not one to play.

Years later, I find myself in a comic/artist-lead Discord server and they were discussing Life Is Strange 2. They sang the praises of the story, the art direction, the soundscape. So I played the first episode since it was free on Steam.

And I've thought about little else since. It is gorgeous. Choices are presented but they make little effect on the story (it seems). It feels like an interactive movie; a two-person character study of brothers overcoming adversity. Discovering who they are, what their goals are, and keeping each other in check and happy.

And there's a dog. 13/10. No notes.

There's another game called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit which is set in the Life Is Strange 2 world. A cameo, lots of Easter eggs, and a gorgeous storyline of death, suffering, and hope shining through the cloud of darkness.

I'm in a very lovey and soft mood now. Raw emotions.
