Cutest girl in Arcadia Bay.

How did Zak do so good early and fuck up the end game?
Did Square Enix not tell him about the deadline or is he just an idiot who can't plan worth a shit?

...

Chloe is #1

Fuck Rachel

Always kiss the price.

This game is for soyboys and autismos.

That being said Mr. Jefferson and Nathan are chad-tier.

...are you sure?

Hello everyone!

It has been a while but we haven't sung any Before the Storm songs so we thought it might be fun to do a /lisg/ sings again.

The song we are going to be singing is "No Below" by Speedy Ortiz.

youtube.com/watch?v=yDJ1YWvlIB8

>How do I record this?
Use Audacity or something, there are plenty of programs that do this. If you don’t have a mic just use your phone.
Try singing the whole song in 1 go. If you don't want to do the whole song, that's fine. Sing the part you like, it'll be edited in at the right 'time'.
Make sure it is JUST YOUR VOICE. No song in the background.

>Okay how do I send in my files?
Email your files to [email protected]
You can add them in the attachment or upload them somewhere where the files can be downloaded from. Try to avoid Vocaroo as it makes the quality shit.

>When is the deadline
You can send in your files till the 17th of January.
If you’re a little later it’s not too bad, the editing won’t start right away but try to do it before then.

>I can’t sing!!!
No one gives a shit, it’s just for fun. You don't have to be embarrassed. Try to join when you can! The more the merrier.

>Nathan
>Chad
>gets beat up by Warren 'I can't even suck dicks' Gayram despite having had a gun on him at the time
>only time he beats anyone up on screen it's because he takes a cheapshot
Listen, buddy, I could agree with you with Jefferson, but Nathan gets beat up by a guy who definitely hasn't even seen the inside of a weightroom.

(I think they were joking, user.)

Which doesn't even make sense when he was beating warren in the first chapter. Though nathan was no chad.

...

Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>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.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe

After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>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.
>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
>So, once again we got the fact that our ending always will be BAE>Bay

Before BtS Episode 3's release:
>Devs: ''Intense episode is waiting for us.Be ready for it;);) There is a reason why we chose Tempest as major theme and you will find out;)''
>Don't worry, Deck9 won't disappoint us. They are better than Dontnod
>I love you Zak. Thank god, finally a developer who understands us!! What did we do to deserve him guyssss
>CLOUD 9!!! TELL ME WHATCHU REALLY LIKE... BE READY FOR MULTIPLE KISSESSS!! CLOUD 9 WOHOOOO
>Sera is a witch. Ending is going to be awesome
>We will see how Damon got killed
>We will get our revenge from Skeevy guys too
>We will see Skip's concert too. Rachel and Chloe will go there yeeeyy
>All plot holes Dontnod left will all be answered.
>Beanie Queen Steph will get hug and also we will have advice scene ;);)
>They will not touch 3 years. They will keep their promises:) Unlimited happy endings are coming. 6 variations depending our choices with RACHEL HYPE CLOUD9

After BtS Episode 3's release:
>Deck9's worse than Dontnod
>Devs were bullshitting all along: Tempest? They forgot it. Poor Shakespeare is rolling in his grave right now
>Zak went full retard
>Nothing was cut:)
>Girls went full nun-mode and was giving each other cheek kiss and 0.1 sec cuddle scene in bed -even with cloud 9 intimacy
>Choices didn't matter
>Pedo Frank
>Frank pushes Damon out of screen. God knows how is he fucking dead
>Rachel spent almost the whole episode in that hospital bed
>Chloe was unconscious at the very intense moment
>Sera magically untied herself
>End choice didn't solve anything
>William went full Fast and Furious flashbacks.
>Even if Sera and Rachel reunite, Sera gtfos that town in one way or another
>They added credits scene out of nowhere - Rachel's ded - Chloe's still suffering. Technically, they were bullshitting about not touching 3 years either

To be fair, he hits Warren once when Warren isn't prepared to fight, and then Warren tackles him out of the way of the car, and ends up on bottom.
I'll tell you from experience: someone who can't beat you in a standing fight can fucking pound you if they can get on top of you and you can't get out from under them.
The second time, though, Warren strikes first, hits Nathan while he's down, and doesn't let up until Max calls him off or he's beaten the guy half to death.
Basically, the first time Warren wasn't ready to actually fight someone. The second time, Warren had caught an assbeating the first time and he hadn't fucking forgotten how humiliating it is to get fucking beat.
Nathan, on the other hand, hadn't really improved at all since the first time.

Hello friends, a few days ago some of you recommended me to buy before the storm (and read some fanfiction?) and I just finished the game so i wanna talk about it.
Episode 1 was really weird. apparantly the first time Chloe has ever hung out with Rachel and she confesses that she totally feels something special going on between the two and that she doesn't wanna lose her too. Which I found dumb because they had hung out once? They sat on a train and played a game for like a few minutes, then joked about people in a park, and suddenly she's the only good thing left in your life and you feel like there's a special connection? You barely even know eachothers names fuck off honestly.
Ep 2 & 3 were really gay and it made me blush honestly it was nice
Also for some reason I thought Chloe was max throughout the entire game and I didn't realize until i saw the final cutscene lmao

A L W A Y S

As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding
>Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them
>"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..."
>Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me."
>"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!"
>"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny."
>"Lisa, I can't make this choice!"
>"No Alice, you're the only one who can"

>eat Lisa

>eat your own foot

Baddest Bitch in Arcadia Bay did.

also what happened to rachel between the games? How did she turn from the perfect girl to like a girl that does drugs and fucks her teacher? Is it because she's just like her mom?

Nathan still works out more than warren. The game was too short in time frame to show warren improve enough to fight back. The flaw with these games is honestly how short they are.

...

Very adorable.

Dating Kate Marsh Headcanons

- Kate gives the best cuddles known to man. The kind that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
- Doesn’t force her beliefs on you but is 100% willing to share them with you if you ask.
- Plays with you fingers when you’re holding hands. Loves stroking her thumb across the back of your hand.
- Whenever she’s with you her smile practically never leaves her face for a second.
- Makes lists. Shopping lists, to do lists, you name it ; Kate has a list for it.
- Those lists are written in the most beautiful handwriting and often have pretty doodles on them.
- Kate is very open and understanding. You can go to her with any problem and she’ll do her best to help.
- Never forgets to ask you how your day was. Never.
- Would love it if you went to church with her. (but is far too shy to ask if you’re not religious)
- Kate is happiest when the two of you are curled up on the couch together under a blanket with cups of tea , reading or just talking while rain is battering against the window.
- CUTE BLUSHING WHEN THINGS GET INTIMATE
- Can definitely do sexy when she wants to and isn’t anywhere near as awkward as you’d think. When Kate’s in the zone, get ready to moan.
- Was embarrassed to admit that she loves classical music to you but often gets caught humming some of her favourites.
- The most precious of all the cinnamon buns.
- ‘If you’re going to sin I’d prefer if it wasn’t around me’
- SOFT HANDS™
- Her taste in home decoration is exquisite
- Her bedroom is one of those places you instantly feel safe and comfortable in
- Always seems to have a blanket around her shoulders and loves wrapping you in it when she hugs you.
- sweater paws
- Is very talented with hair. Up do’s are her speciality and she loves practicing them on you
- kisses on the tip of the nose
- Is 100% the type of girl that could run a marathon and still smell like roses at the end.

To be fair, it doesn't matter if I work out more (Nathan doesn't appear to be much bigger than Warren), if I let my enemy hit me once before I react, he hits me again before I draw my gun, and I don't take any actions but huddle up and wait for him to finish me off after the third blow falls.
Mind you, this is from the same series where Damon beats up Drew 'I look like I could bend you in half' North, but then loses to Frank 'MY BEANS GIVE ME SUPER STRENGTH' Bowers.

>The game was too short in time frame to show warren improve enough to fight back

Here's a picture of his workout technique.

What exercise does one use to improve their headbutting technique?

I agree. there are just a bunch of things that just seem inconsistent. While most are just nitpicks they do add up. I still wish the game took place within a longer timeframe.

fucking shit my sides.

Life is strange power tier:
GOD TIER:
MAX CAULFIELD THE TIME WARRIOR
GOOD TIER
Super Saiyan Kate
Super Alice
Chad Max
OKAY TIER:
Rachelterminator
Bloodlusted Chloe with Bat
Jefferson
Frank "The Beans" Bowers
BOTTOM TIER
Nathan
Warren
David
Drew

To be fair, the problem isn't the length of the game so much as the fact that I feel like a lot of their plots didn't pass the 'five year old' sniff test.
Basically, if a five year old can ask you a question that punches a hole in your story, you need to improve it or scrap it.

Nathyn Prickscott gets bullied by Drew and hammered to the head by Warryn "Cuckspert" Gayram. And most likely gets raped by Mark "The Vanilla" Jeffershit every night.

“How can you know a prism? You just stare in awe.”

>Rachelterminator
>not Banshee Rachel
>not in GOD TIER

Ended up reading Alybalybee first LiS fic 'Honestly Dishonest' last night. It's different than 'I Like You a Whole Latte'. Honestly it feels a little more amateurish with the writing and there's a fair bit of sexual thoughts.
The idea around it was interesting and overall it wasn't bad. Legion will probably flip their shit if they read it, but that's usually entertaining to watch in itself.
Chloe and Rachel are in a relationship that has clearly collapsed, Rachel reintroduces Chloe to Max at a party, Chloe falls for Max hard (and Max falls for Chloe), things get a little dicey but end up working out really good.

FOREVER!

Chloe is so lucky.

Words cannot describe how cute this post is.

Now i want to read a fic where nathan gets sexually abused by his peers

amberprice.org/forum/


I have no words. Words have left me

Mr. Jefferson is Maximum Chad-tier

Nathan is Chad-lite.

Warryn just used his tard rage to impress his qt3.14 autismo gf.

>no six shooter Price
Baka desu

Both games suffered from the problem of waiting until the final episode to address the major plot points and not having enough foresight to realize players would come to expect answers to things you as a dev/writer may have originally considered throwaway ideas or lines.

Finally, a place I can call home.

At least the rule say not attacking other ships/fan/the devs
I don't care what they as a shipper community think, as long as they realize it's a game and don't start threatening or attacking others over it

>Honestly it feels a little more amateurish with the writing
Her writing was always far from spectacular, even in I Like a Whole Latte.
I don't know what's about that fic... the plot is really cliche and the writing is light years from being considered great, but it works. It fucking works somehow.

>Jefferson is Maximum Chad-tier
>implying hipster Disney villain can actually even compare to the real Chad, Samuel "the Enlightened"

Does anyone know where to find any of surimistick's fanfiction? I think they deleted everything from their tumblr to their AO3 account, but the excerpts I've read sound really good. Not to mention the fan art.

>James is 6'3"
>Rose is 5'9"
>Rachel is like 5'4" at best at 15
>"I-I'm going to hit that growth spurt any day now! And I can become a model!"

Cutest couple in Arcadia Bay, Seattle, and wherever they go

Why would roses height matter in Rachel's height retard?

I want a Hannah gf

Talking about Rose, a fic where Rose cheats on James behind his back anď fucks Joyce and Joyce cheats on David and fucks Vanessa would be great.

Thank you!

Post a webm more perfect... I'll wait

I love the simple coffee ship AU but I can admit it's nothing amazing in terms of writing. The exact same story could be told with characters from a different source. It flows well and works because we're supposed to believe those are the characters personalities.
I suppose with 'Honestly Dishonest' some of the things stand out more because the circumstances may be new but the characters are supposed to be mostly the same as in the game.

Wish I had an answer, sadly I don't think there is one. I've looked before and couldn't find them anywhere. Even when trying to use a waybackmachine kind of thing on their profile.

Guys, it turns out I was totally right about Eliot "hooking up" with Chloe as in spending time. It makes more sense now. The devs simply use the word in a wrong way maybe mainly because they're french sperglords.
Look at what context Frank uses it when talking about Nathan in pic rel.

The letter to Chloe from Rachel about Jefferson says:
>If I even told you that last night we hooked up near campus [...]

So according to Dontnod and their franchise hook up means meet with somebody; I think it might be a common english mistake because I used it in the same way before playing the game and I'm not a native english speaker.

So, in a way Rachel and Chloe might be less whory that we thought.

does anyone have the assets from episode 3

>oh good you're awake yeah i lived through that overdose btw frank killed an armed psychopath while seriously injured let's talk about my shitty opinions now

Oh shit it works!
I stand corrected ( I only tried using it on their Tumblr)

>Toe to To, Back to Back not archived
FUCK! D:

>refusing to accept facts this hard

>The devs simply use the word in a wrong way maybe mainly because they're french sperglords.
You do realise BtS was made by a bunch of fanfic writers from Colorado

I really need Toe to Toe, Back to Back in my life again :(

"Hooked up" is used a few times in the games, both in sexual and non-sexual ways. Rachel's letter, combined with Stella's words, suggest her hooking up with Jefferson was sexual.
Frank's words there suggest that is not since I don't think Frank would sleep with Nathan.

>tfw you beat up a psychopath for your lesbian oneitis and she won't even go ape with you

A friendly reminder

it's a forum. what's wrong with it? would you an issue with a pricefield only forum?

One of the dumbest things I have read about LiS.

yeah that's pretty retarded

I mean dealers have excepted bjs as partial or full payment.

It's pretty much agreed upon that Rachel is definitely hiding a lot of her personality and true intentions. Her acting prowess is almost to the point of diminished or even absent emotions, i.e. sociopathy.

Go there and stay there

Motherfucker, I just found that out now too. Damn, that's the one I wanted to read most. Oh well, at least the third one's still up.

Frank isn't gay. Not everyone in this fucking lesbian simulator can be gay.

But the whole story is still made of original LiS, which has the pointed mistake or not Enlighten me native speakers, can this sentence be used in both meanings?

When Chloe writes about hooking up with Eliot, there's nothing else to think that she had sex with him. Also, having sex with a kindergarten friend doesn't work

>Amberprice forum

I'm 99% certain that Frank prefers his payment in cash.

Rachel really wasn't hiding things in BtS, those developments came later on as all the stresses Rachel was feeling started taking their toll. That particular Tumblr post is stupid though since it misses the entire point of a prequel. Even if in BtS's case perhaps it didn't go far enough in showing a full arc to meet up with the first game but that's because the devs only wanted to show the high point of when Rachel and Chloe first met. They didn't expect some people to start looking for every excuse to invalidate the first game.

well it' works like a belief system, it has to stay integral, lmao

From what i understand, dealers usually use it on chicks but will for guys if they get desperate for sex. though, frank isn't gay. hocking up doesn't make sense but dontnod is french.

I don't care about them having a forum, but there's a few individuals in particular who are tools and Onegirllis is definitely one of them. One of the Legion's worst.
>Oh I care so much about Chloe
>That's why I let her die horribly, because I lack faith in her and in Max to ever be able to make her happy
>Also the storm killed everyone

>legion and dumblr
>actually being smart for once
This is a lifetime event

The season 1 sequel couldn't come out sooner.
I wanna watch the meltdown.

...

Well would you look at that: when you're pessimistic, it's easy to conclude there would be no happiness for Chloe and Max.
Good thing I'm more optimistic and so there is hope for them. More than a hope, a certainty.

Pretty much all "logical" reasons for choosing bae or bay are come up with after the choice is already basically decided. You're always going to go with your heart and then come up with a reason that makes it okay.

Their discussions are fascinating actually. They absolutely refuse to believe Rachel was cheating on Chloe
Somehow sleeping for Frank just to use him for drugs or money is ok and not cheating.
And the whole "multiple timelines so we don't know which one BtS took place in" is pathetic

>The X I ''know'' would never cheat on Y

Christ, it's like these kids never talked to a divorced person in their lives.

This. I made up my mind long before Episode 5 that I was going to save Chloe if it came down to that. I made the choice to save her under the belief everyone else would be confirmed dead. Seeing the actual ending and thinking more about it after playing and I've reached the conclusion that there were a lot of ways for people to survive. I didn't know that when actually playing though.

...

D9's fanfic is worse.

My personal favorite justification is that there's no reason going back in time would fix anything. Fixing time by going back to before you broke it is like fixing space by walking to where you were when you broke it.

>they had hung out once
She's a fifteen year old girl that's incredibly alone. Also saying something is special is kind of the point, since they hit it off so well after so little time.
It's also implied in the dreams that Rachel is just playing her for her own ends. Maybe she is or maybe she did at the start, but you can't rule it out either.

It doesn't, but Rachel didn't know at that point. That's why it's kind of sad, especially since she's small, blonde, and looks very little like either Rose or James anyway. It's weird she didn't know something was up earlier.

She really turned out just like her real mom.

They understand that D9 is a fanfic right? The original game always takes precedence in inconsistencies, unless otherwise stated by devs or publishers

Life isn't very joyous. Even with love. Lies and pain exist in every step of your life, being able to achieve death without any selfish gains (I.e suicide) and instead be able to save hundreds of innocent lives is possibly the greatest form of happiness that can be achieved. Stories don't always end happy. Actually, the definition of happy itself is quite subjective.

Rachel was always a bit fucked up, plus Chloe's influence, plus if Chloe tells her at the end it probably fucks her up a lot.

Why did you save that picture? Don't you see how Nathan is suffering?

So this is autism.
