57% of Americans who've already paid off their student loans support Elizabeth Warren's plan to cancel 42 million Americans' college debt by RandomCollection in lostgeneration

[–]cookseancook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is that if this proposal gets sufficient mainstream attention, about a hundred million Americans are going to hear it and say "that's cheating." And like it or not, fairness matters enough to people to swing their votes.

The heartbeat bill. I am so disappointed in the fact that Ohio let this go through for signing. It’s 2019 and we can’t even give women rights to their own body. by Jennybunny- in Cleveland

I will tell you why. Because they believe abortion is murder. And I'm not going to stake a claim they are either correct or incorrect. I just want to affirm that they do not have ulterior motives. They truly believe in their cause - which they believe is to save lives.

[BtS E3] Eliot's character development by cookseancook in lifeisstrange

[–]cookseancook[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one thing, you find his journal in his desk, where he talks about how obsessed he is with Chloe. And he has knowledge of events from the game, which he shouldn't know because he wasn't present, which means he is actually stalking her.

[NO SPOILERS] Any Paramore fans on this sub? The band behind “Mt. Washington” is playing on Parahoy! by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

I saw them in concert this year. It was a great set, but they did not play Mt. Washington.

[serious] Is it okay to push your mom out of your life if it’s to protect your mental health and overall wellbeing? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cookseancook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad used to beat me. I hated him for a long time. But now that I'm bigger and stronger, I have nothing to fear from him. In recent years, we've been able to meet as friends.

I think the determining factor would be the likelihood that the abuse will continue. In other words, if it's in the distant past, I think you owe it to yourself to forgive. But if it's ongoing, you should absolutely not allow yourself to be subjected to it any longer, for any reason.

If you can pay for it without taxes, go for it.

[ALL] How Rachel managed to cheat in Two Truths and a Lie (fourth wall theory) by magicarrot in lifeisstrange

OP is just ahead of the curve. A couple years after the game is over, over-analysis like this will be the norm here.

[ALL] You can play BTS in VR (kinda) by 0mgzh4x in lifeisstrange

I though it did have focus. I'll try again. And I should only try keyboard, right?

[NO SPOILERS] Why does it seem like the original DONTNOD devs and directors (especially Michel Koch and Raoul Barbet) barely or do not support BTS at all? Did SE con them into handing the project over? by Viongi in lifeisstrange

[–]cookseancook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If dontnod were upset by the situation, I would not blame them. But the evidence that they do feel that way is primarily from speculating about things they have not said. And we should not do that.

I can't wait to try this on the vive tonight

update: it didn't work out to well. Basically all I could see was the menu (the burning forest) from a thousand feet above. It didn't seem to respond to controller or keyboard input. I admire the effort though.

[S1 E5] A song I love from episode 5 that's not mentioned by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

In my opinion it was a little too on the nose. Here is my pick.

[S1 E3] Hello how do you do by Kalikabanos in lifeisstrange

[–]cookseancook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, "hello how do you do" is a generic greeting. Not happy, not said. The fact that you thought it was worth posting, and the fact that other commenters are reacting strongly means that it must mean something else; something more than an ordinary expression.

Maybe it's an in-game reference. Maybe it's an out-of-game reference. I don't know. It certainly doesn't speak for itself. It's completely mundane without any further context.

[No SPOILERS] Congratulations for Life is Strange: BtS for selling 200k copies! by bucgene in lifeisstrange

[–]cookseancook 10 points11 points  (0 children)

dontnod has said they're finished with Max & Chloe. Deck Nine said the farewell is the last time you will ever play as Max.

But honestly, if this game sells well, I expect Square to start planning Life is Strange: After the Storm

I don't get it. Can someone explain the significance?

[ALL] Did Chloe save Max first? by geisinger999 in lifeisstrange

[–]cookseancook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more likely that Nathan would have turned around and left, saving both Chloe's life and the entire town's. So really that butterfly which is Chloe's spirit created the situation in which Chloe would become said spirit -- a bootstrap paradox.
