r/LifeisStrange2

I was watching a show with Robin Wright and noticed that not only does she look very similar to Karen but she also has a very similar voice and demeanour!!

Hey everyone,

I pushed out a Plasma 6 clock widget a couple days ago and figured I’d post it here too. It started as me messing around with a Life is Strange inspired neon look, then slowly turned into an actual plasmoid instead of another abandoned QML experiment sitting in a folder somewhere.

Everything’s written in Qt6/QML. The glow uses MultiEffect, and the butterflies are vector animations because the early versions felt heavier than they had any right to be once blur/compositor effects kicked in.

I wired the settings directly into Plasma’s config window, so you can disable animations, switch themes around, mess with glow decay values, etc. The OLED burn-in paranoia is real.

If you use darker desktop themes or monochrome setups it’ll probably blend in better than on super colorful layouts.

Mostly posting this because I want other people to break it and tell me what’s wrong with it. Especially on Wayland.

A couple of days ago I posted some pictures of places Sean and Daniel would have gone to after they left Seattle.

I've attached a few more that aren't geographically as accurate, but I think look more like the woods.

What do you guys think? More like it?

(See other post for comparison).

I think Karen manages to hit that true neutral character type perfectly. Every let's player I've watched always has a different view on her as a woman and mother. Some lean into her being a terrible person, while others lean more into her being a broken person.

For me, personaly, this is the perfect example on how to write an ambiguous character.

It's insane for me that 2016 feels so far away, yet so close at the same time.

"But we liked to think that Daniel would meet Max (and Chloe) in Away." Link here

Fans of both Pricefield and LiS2 have had that idea... and here is Michel Koch confirming that has been their thought too. Thank Mr Koch, he is feeding us more Dontnod lore we can use hah. Interesting how vocal he has been in Dontnod's "head"canons ever since Reunion released, love it tho as a way to reject D9 and embrace the original story.

That pic is from Parting ways ending. But could easily be a Redemption event too because Daniel still lives in USA in the same place, but that ending has much more focus with its pics on Sean in jail and the further future in the 2020s and stuff. But yeah for either high morality ending this is basically the Dontnod team's canon, low morality well yeah there won't be a Daniel around to meet.

Will make a follow up post if he confirms any of the extra questions about the topic in pic 2, like if Max learns about Daniel's power or if they keep it mutually secret.

In reality, all neighborhoods south of the Seattle-Tacoma Airport are famously devoid of sidewalk infrastructure and are exceptionally hostile to pedestrians. All attempts to rectify this have failed.

How am I supposed to enjoy a game with such a blatant disregard for real world Seattle's urban design? This is immersion breaking and makes the whole game unplayable.

Played LiS2 probably 6/7 times, and last year I felt my daughter was old enough to experience it for herself and I watched her play through it - we’ve since played all the games together and still #2 is our favourite 🥲

sorry if this sound ignorant. do they actually put people in cages?

https://xcancel.com/DONTNOD_Michel/status/2051133056648388688#m Koch has been on a roll answering a LOT of questions last 24 hours, mostly about how they viewed Rachel's story but he has come in with some LiS2 thoughts and lore to share. So yeah Karen is meant to be morally grey, was close with Joan, did love Esteban but motherhood was NOT for her and felt like she was dying inside.

It's good she does have a bit of an arc stepping up though, even if she never takes custody over Daniel she does stay involved in his life at least in the high morality endings, and is there for Sean when he is released. Dontnod are great for complex characters :)
