I tweeted at Mari to let her know about the missing episode, and she said she'd fix it- don't worry, it's coming soon! The vod is still up on Twitch if you want to watch it before then, but it will be coming!
I really liked this story. As an Asian with an abusive past, a lot of themes did connect with me. Asian parents often tell their parents to be strong and not to cry, which unintentionally leads to suppressing their emotions. Then giving them unobtainable expectations such as "keeping the entire family together". Not to the same severity as Alex, but I felt like I had to do chores and be the "golden child" to temper my parent's emotions as much as possible. Also, chores, doing well in school, and competing in sports helped distract me from emotions I couldn't tap into. Until, my family broke apart, and I was left with a cacophony of emotions I could not comprehend. Alex being able to finally tap into her subconscious really is inspirational to me. Going deeper into the mines and her consciousness, then getting out the other end with resolve and a sense of being unstoppable. Hope to one day have that evolved sense of courage. Metaphorically, taking down a mega-corporation can surprisingly be less intimidating than taking down your own demons - they're more personable and painful.
It does annoy me that the endings neglect Ryan if you don't choose him as a love interest. I think if there were a perfect ending, depending on the character - it'd be one where the three always remain friends, whether they are in Haven or travelling. I get that we could probably fill in the gaps, but I feel like part of it is this hesitance of writers to show a perfectly happy ending. As if Alex doesn't deserve the hell out of that. Other than Alex, out of the characters Ryan honestly lost just as much. He lost his best friend in the most tragic way and he also lost his dad in a spiritual/emotional sense. I imagine it'd be just as hard as what Charlotte had to deal with with Ethan - maybe even worse, given that many of Jed's actions were intentional. Ryan just really deserved more.
If you romance Ryan Steph just dips out of nowhere so no matter what one will get a shitty ending, which is so weird to me since they were all friends?
Yeah I'm confused why he's not there with Steph when Gabe mentions her playing on the roof for a small audience. Him being nowhere to be seen is really confusing. For Steph… I kinda get it if you romance Ryan and she dips because she wants to go travel and play? But they should mention that if that happens. Them full on disappearing is confusing and I was looking for Ryan in all the ending cutscenes since they feel like the closest characters to Alex the whole game really except Gabe :(
@@CitadarkIsle i agree that they should have included both ryan and steph in the montage no matter what ending you got however i get why ryan wouldnt hang out with them anymore. I mean from his perspective, aleks came to haven, same day he had to save her inturn dropping his best friend to his death, she saved him from potentially comiting suicide at the cliff, shook up his perception of reality by prooving she has special powers, he developed feelings for her, she chooses his other best friend over him, she disappears, busts back to tell everyone and him "hey your dad aka your only family is a murderer and just tried to kill me", he feels guilty for his dad trying to kill the person he loves and then still loses him anyways. And after all of that hes supposed to just hangout with steph and alexs watching them come out happy after everything meanwhile he lost everything important to him in a matter of weeks? I doubt that they would be able to have a good relationship straight after that but maybe after some time. Still they should have showed that at least somewhat like what? One of the main characters just disappears if you dont pick him? It was very odd
Okay Rysn got a lot of shit to deal with and Steph think about moving on if you choose Ryan because honestly Gabe was really the whole reason she stayed she found another reason in Alex
Yeah, the last part we saw on UA-cam was when they were about to explore chars anger. I’m sure they will upload that vod soon or in the next day or so so we can watch it before this one.
I'm kind of surprised they trusted Jed since I think I remember years ago them being right about Mr. Jefferson. For me I started doubting him after he was the villain in the LARP and then the start of the scene at the start of this video I was like "oh fuck he's going to try to kill me isn't he" and I was like "noooo Alex don't open up to him pleaseeee"
I picked "Typhon threatened Ryan" cause I was sure he was in on this somehow but I was like.. well he might still be willing to betray them if its to help Ryan without realizing he was behind faking like Ryan was in danger lol
I thought something was up in episode one because Typhon buying him the whole bar felt less like a reward and more like hush money. And then I let his genial facade distract me and was still surprised when he betrayed Alex.
They don’t like men in general. Whenever there’s a man especially a white man Mari usually goes on one of her rants and they can banned me if they want but I’m just saying what I’ve seen
@@basicbuttons5033 Lol that's really not true at all. I've been watching them for years and while they certainly have some like "SJW adjacent" ideas they're extremely reasonable pretty much all the time and they're a fun watch to get a slightly different perspective and I love that they usually go into detail about things or pick up on small details and form theories on the fly. Also they, especially Mari, were gushing over Ryan this whole game and the only men they really shit on in this game were Alex's dad (who is a piece of shit) and Mac (who is a piece of shit) so I mean... no lol
I was also suspicious about Jed at the bar scene because there were red lights surrounding him which made me think that something was wrong. At the same time, during that scene Alex had blue lights surrounding her in the background, and I thought how cinematic profound it was.
Alex: *sequentially breaks down the misdoings of cowardice bartender* Mari: Okay Diane next! LOL, I choked. Omg I feel so bad for Ryan, he lost his best friend and metaphorically lost a father figure. And he doesn't even get his own DLC! Poor himbo lumberjack boi! All the characters were really well done. Steph, Alex, Duckie, etc. I wish some characters got a bit more resolve, but can't fix everyone's problems in one playthrough. Thank you for the great gameplay once again! Lots of funny moments and personal commentary as always!
Mari and Stacy have got Amazing instincts for getting good endings Cause I have watched multiple play throughs and I have found Pain and Betrayal Ryan's hurt the most But a most delightful fact that Spoiler Steph will have your back no matter what
I finished playing the DLC yesterday and I went to bed crying. I can't wait for you guys to play that one. I also condemned Jed, because even if he was sorry after all these years, he still tried to kill you and was lying until you used your powers. Alex's memories were awfully sad to watch, and it really hit me that no matter what ending you get, Steph will always have your back, so at least 1 person is always on your team and Alex is not alone.
This game has affected me on a personal level more than any other life is strange game or any game for that matter. No I am not an empath and I have not been abandoned my family or had a parent die. By no means am I saying I fully relate to Alex or anyone who has had those experiences. But watching Alex try to hold her family together, thinking if she said the right thing or did something to make them happy things will be alright but that’s a lot for a kid to handle. I felt like I had to care for my mum after the divorce like she had to take care of her dad and brother, feeling the need to grow up fast for other people’s sake hurts. My dad was emotionally abusive and I’m only now learning how he behaved was not ok. I’m by no means an empath but I notic subtle things about how people feel and act, people say I’m very observant but I feel like I’ve just learned from years of walking on egg shells and supporting people when I could barely support myself I can spot things easier than people who haven’t. And I feel guilty when I show my own emotions, like I can’t be upset if someone else is upset, I need to make sure they are ok first. I once had a friend who relieved her anxiety by showing anger and frustration on others and I just waited until she was gone to have a mental breakdown of my own. I have never felt so connected to a game character in my life, it’s brought up a lot of old emotions but weirdly I feel seen, like I’m not wrong in how I feel Sorry for the spiel, I’m feeling a lot right now
I think the game was originally supposed to take place in 2020 or 2021, which would have let the math of stuff like that make more sense. Easier to just shift the date back a year or two than to try to work the whole COVID thing into the story. Then they didn't catch everything that needed to be adjusted to make that work.
@@monwren There are instances where people refer to how long ago something happens and it doesn't work for 2019, though, like Jed saying his mistake was twelve years ago. That'd put the collapse in 2007, in which case the pendant couldn't have been there.
I have to disagree with what you said about Alex's father on how he deserved to die or something on those lines. While yes he did leave his kids I believe he thought he was not in a good mental place to raise them and thought it was better leaving the kids to CPS, while yes leaving your kids is not the best I can understand why. I have to agree with Stacey when she said if there was any chance of reconciliation or him coming back is gone now since he is dead is indeed tragic in of it self. Not all parents who leave their children are inherently "bad" or parents who raise their children "good". Alex's father is not just "he left his kids making him bad" he is a flawed person like every character in this series or in reality. Also, Alex doing laundry and cooking rice in the cooker, I just believe that was her chore, like how you might be asked your parents to sweep the house once a week to help around. Regardless, nice playthrough and commentary. Just maybe be careful how you word and comment on things. Not everything is black and white as we might think it is.
Agreed, except for the part about Alex doing the laundry and cooking. I think that’s her picking up the slack for her father (and to be fair, for Gabe as well; he could’ve been cooking and cleaning, but he was being a rebellious teenager.) And while I don’t think Alex should’ve been burdened like that, sometimes, that shit happens. When my mom died, my dad was such a wreck. He tried to keep on top of things, but sometimes due to the depression and grief of losing her, dishes would pile up or dinner would be left up to me or my siblings. My assumption was that much like I was when my mom died and my dad was depressed, she wasn’t told to do those things, rather she felt everything would go to shit if she didn’t step up and do the cooking and cleaning. When you’re a single parent (especially if you’re low income with multiple children,) it’s not hard to find you’ve spread yourself way too thin and your mental health suffering. The problem is when you don’t reach out or can’t find help. I think that’s how it was with Alex’s dad. Toxic masculinity bred into our society makes most men see needing help as a weakness and in Asian culture, it’s even worse, so it makes sense from my view that John Chen- while definitely an asshole, was mostly a victim of a lot of shitty circumstance. I think after seeing ‘forgive Dad’ on Gabe’s ‘make shit right’ list, he might’ve realized that too.
the best ending is when not everyone believes you and Ryan turns around and tells Alex not to use her powers on him, which is very hurtful causing Steph to argue with him.Jed's breakdown is more organic, when she stops the fight (Ryan and Steph). since Jed thinks he won until Alex breaks him
idk I think the best ending is when the entire town trusts you cause 1. They're all going against a mainstay of the town, even Duckie, for someone who just got here and 2. it makes you feel like a god gamer 😎
(52:44), I also watched your guys first play through of Life is Strange before college! I have been watching this series (True Colors) extremely slow, maybe over a course of two years (since you guys posted these videos). But, I watch them slow and still remember all that has happened, you guys are the best and I will only ever watch anything Life is Strange related with you guys.
I ended up with Steph in my play through, so I chose to leave town, she already wanted to leave once but stayed so didn't want to have Alex stop her again. I also felt so bad for Ryan in my play through, I wasn't able to convince him so Steph had a go at him for not believing Alex. So Ryan lost all his friends.
I finally had the time to sit down and watch the entirety of your play through! So good….. Out of all the LPers I watch, I really appreciate that you guys take the time to actually think about and process the story/decisions…. a lot of people just blankly choose options and not really dissect what’s going on. You guys are the best LiS and story-based game LPers! Also… if you ever do a bad decision/Ryan play through….. I’d totally watch that lol… 😳👉👈
3:19 I think the microwave might be on military time for 12:01AM? This is just my guess because instead of using normal times that were used too, my place of work has it on Military times though so just take this with a shit ton of salt 🐸👍
Yeah only Steph and Pike sided with me . . . Bad decisions were made and a misclick got Charlotte to hate me which made me want to cry. Edit: Other than me taking Charlotte's anger BY ACCIDENT I really don't know what else I did wrong.
I have a story, my mom always said the same thing Alex's mom said to her about not crying even as a baby..... Guess what? It does come to bite the ass when you're adult. (i'm 26 btw) but really its like a delayed emotion. I have seen shit at a very young age constantly one after the other and that took me out of emotion for most part. If I lose a loved one, I wont cry at first and few days later I'll randomly start crying for a sec and then move on. Its weird, but for the most part I feel ok at times.
If you forgive Jed, he’s the one who’ll leave a note along with her father’s jacket and he explains that he wanted to pass it to Gabe, then to her and Gabe eventually, so he *was* thinking about telling the truth eventually although of course, he was probably going to do it at his deathbed (or whatever’s it’s called in English.) I actually think it was more powerful to forgive him because I think forgiveness is about allowing yourself to let it go and it makes the person you’re forgiving feel even more pathetic for the things they’ve done. Also, he’ll go to prison either way anyway so 🤷♀️ At this point I just wanted Alex to be at ease.
i feel like no one is owed forgiveness though. Like due to Jeb’s direct actions, Alex has effectively lost the rest of her entire family. It was just her, her parents, and gabe. her mom died of sickness, her dad died from Jeb, and because of that, Typhon tried to hide the evidence, thus killing Gabe. The rest of her already small family are now dead at the hands of this man. Alex has every right to condemn him, and i feel like although it would’ve been more devastating to Jeb to forgive him, it’s not really realistic to assume that any rational person would be like “hey i know you killed like the rest of my entire already damaged family and also attempted to kill me, but i forgive you”. you don’t necessarily need to forgive someone to let go and move on either, and even then, not everyone deserves to hear that they’ve been forgiven for the absolutely awful things they’ve done and get closure from that.
@@kill4oj I understand what you’re trying to say but please: don’t put words in my mouth. I never said anything close to "owing forgiveness" or even Alex not having the right to condemn Jed. And what you’re saying about the unrealistic part is just not true, even the girls in the video gave an example of a woman getting abused but choosing to sue the person for way less than they could because she just wanted to be free from the whole mess. Or even children forgiving their parents for being pieces of shit, not because they felt guilty or like they "owed" an apology to their parents after they apologized. They did it because they wanted to be at ease. (This one is my own example, not theirs.) And I never even said that Jed deserves to be forgiven. I just said that PERSONALLY and SUBJECTIVELY SPEAKING, I think that the scene and ending were way more powerful because Alex just seemed like she was over all of it and more at ease. At the end, when she hears the news on the radio she immediately turns them off. Why? Because she just wants it to be over with and move on with her life. And I’m not even invalidating the people who decided to condemn him. You do you and that’s fine, I just wanted to share my feelings and thoughts since this IS a comment section where everyone is allowed to speak their thoughts out openly. So, I’ll say it again: *Please don’t put words in my mouth. Thank you.*
My Alex runs the bar with Ryan. Steph left town. I didn't get Ducky to believe her in the meeting, i can't wait to see the festival video to see how you did that. She forgave Jed but it made it better when he breaks down.
I honestly wouldve forgiven Jed. I think this game is more about showing how bad people end up doing bad things, which is mainly out of fear. And forgiving them would probably have encouraged bad people to try to be better than that
technically you weren't shot in LIS...Chloe was...you don't play as Chloe...you play as Max...i get there are definite similarities in True Colours story to LIS Season 1 but this chapter ending is not one of them. Jed is what IMO sounds like a false hero...he tried to save people in the past and failed (the incident in the mines) and he even said himself he doesn't like people talking about it or calling him a hero. So he made a deal with Tythlon to save the town and make a better life for people and Ryan...i mean maybe there is more to it but he sounds sincere about not wanting Gabe to die. He just wanted Alex to essentially STFU...but she wouldn't. i can see his point of view even though i don't approve of it. Jed's son is Ryan BTW just thought i should mention that...i thought that was common knowledge. u know it's the most fu%$ed up LIS yet when you think they swapped the dad dying for brother dying...and then they finally reveal it was both....hello darkness my old friend.

I didn't cry much as a baby apparently. Only when I was sick. It happens.
From 2:12:00 onwards the video is mute :(
1:15:00 Yes, good story all around, but unfortunately the timelines don't add up in many places. But I can overlook that.
I have to disagree with what you said about Alex's father on how he deserved to die or something on those lines. While yes he did leave his kids I believe he thought he was not in a good mental place to raise them and thought it was better leaving the kids to CPS, while yes leaving your kids is not the best I can understand why. I have to agree with Stacey when she said if there was any chance of reconciliation or him coming back is gone now since he is dead is indeed tragic in of it self. Not all parents who leave their children are inherently "bad" or parents who raise their children "good". Alex's father is not just "he left his kids making him bad" he is a flawed person like every character in this series or in reality. Also, Alex doing laundry and cooking rice in the cooker, I just believe that was her chore, like how you might be asked your parents to sweep the house once a week to help around.
Regardless, nice playthrough and commentary. Just maybe be careful how you word and comment on things. Not everything is black and white as we might think it is.
Agreed, except for the part about Alex doing the laundry and cooking. I think that’s her picking up the slack for her father (and to be fair, for Gabe as well; he could’ve been cooking and cleaning, but he was being a rebellious teenager.) And while I don’t think Alex should’ve been burdened like that, sometimes, that shit happens. When my mom died, my dad was such a wreck. He tried to keep on top of things, but sometimes due to the depression and grief of losing her, dishes would pile up or dinner would be left up to me or my siblings. My assumption was that much like I was when my mom died and my dad was depressed, she wasn’t told to do those things, rather she felt everything would go to shit if she didn’t step up and do the cooking and cleaning.
When you’re a single parent (especially if you’re low income with multiple children,) it’s not hard to find you’ve spread yourself way too thin and your mental health suffering. The problem is when you don’t reach out or can’t find help. I think that’s how it was with Alex’s dad. Toxic masculinity bred into our society makes most men see needing help as a weakness and in Asian culture, it’s even worse, so it makes sense from my view that John Chen- while definitely an asshole, was mostly a victim of a lot of shitty circumstance. I think after seeing ‘forgive Dad’ on Gabe’s ‘make shit right’ list, he might’ve realized that too.
I saw the prev video on twitch just now and I can watch this peacefully

Damn you got everyone to help on your first try, couldn't figure how to help Ryan soooo.....
Steph insulted him xD
I ended up with Steph in my play through, so I chose to leave town, she already wanted to leave once but stayed so didn't want to have Alex stop her again.
I also felt so bad for Ryan in my play through, I wasn't able to convince him so Steph had a go at him for not believing Alex. So Ryan lost all his friends.
I did the same. I did not want to kill her illusion and I also thought that after the adventure you can always return, if that is what Alex wants
I finally had the time to sit down and watch the entirety of your play through! So good….. Out of all the LPers I watch, I really appreciate that you guys take the time to actually think about and process the story/decisions…. a lot of people just blankly choose options and not really dissect what’s going on. You guys are the best LiS and story-based game LPers!
Also… if you ever do a bad decision/Ryan play through….. I’d totally watch that lol… 😳👉👈
Not "cool hair mom" 😭😭🤣🤣
3:19 I think the microwave might be on military time for 12:01AM? This is just my guess because instead of using normal times that were used too, my place of work has it on Military times though so just take this with a shit ton of salt 🐸👍
Yeah only Steph and Pike sided with me . . . Bad decisions were made and a misclick got Charlotte to hate me which made me want to cry.
Edit: Other than me taking Charlotte's anger BY ACCIDENT I really don't know what else I did wrong.
I have a story, my mom always said the same thing Alex's mom said to her about not crying even as a baby..... Guess what? It does come to bite the ass when you're adult. (i'm 26 btw) but really its like a delayed emotion. I have seen shit at a very young age constantly one after the other and that took me out of emotion for most part. If I lose a loved one, I wont cry at first and few days later I'll randomly start crying for a sec and then move on. Its weird, but for the most part I feel ok at times.
I've never heard any of my furry friends talk about alpha wolves or beta wolves, that's some straight guy shit.
If you forgive Jed, he’s the one who’ll leave a note along with her father’s jacket and he explains that he wanted to pass it to Gabe, then to her and Gabe eventually, so he *was* thinking about telling the truth eventually although of course, he was probably going to do it at his deathbed (or whatever’s it’s called in English.)
I actually think it was more powerful to forgive him because I think forgiveness is about allowing yourself to let it go and it makes the person you’re forgiving feel even more pathetic for the things they’ve done. Also, he’ll go to prison either way anyway so 🤷♀️ At this point I just wanted Alex to be at ease.
i feel like no one is owed forgiveness though. Like due to Jeb’s direct actions, Alex has effectively lost the rest of her entire family. It was just her, her parents, and gabe.
her mom died of sickness, her dad died from Jeb, and because of that, Typhon tried to hide the evidence, thus killing Gabe.
The rest of her already small family are now dead at the hands of this man. Alex has every right to condemn him, and i feel like although it would’ve been more devastating to Jeb to forgive him, it’s not really realistic to assume that any rational person would be like “hey i know you killed like the rest of my entire already damaged family and also attempted to kill me, but i forgive you”. you don’t necessarily need to forgive someone to let go and move on either, and even then, not everyone deserves to hear that they’ve been forgiven for the absolutely awful things they’ve done and get closure from that.
@@kill4oj I understand what you’re trying to say but please: don’t put words in my mouth. I never said anything close to "owing forgiveness" or even Alex not having the right to condemn Jed. And what you’re saying about the unrealistic part is just not true, even the girls in the video gave an example of a woman getting abused but choosing to sue the person for way less than they could because she just wanted to be free from the whole mess.
Or even children forgiving their parents for being pieces of shit, not because they felt guilty or like they "owed" an apology to their parents after they apologized. They did it because they wanted to be at ease. (This one is my own example, not theirs.)
And I never even said that Jed deserves to be forgiven. I just said that PERSONALLY and SUBJECTIVELY SPEAKING, I think that the scene and ending were way more powerful because Alex just seemed like she was over all of it and more at ease. At the end, when she hears the news on the radio she immediately turns them off. Why? Because she just wants it to be over with and move on with her life. And I’m not even invalidating the people who decided to condemn him. You do you and that’s fine, I just wanted to share my feelings and thoughts since this IS a comment section where everyone is allowed to speak their thoughts out openly.
So, I’ll say it again: *Please don’t put words in my mouth. Thank you.*
@@Ivyrin-77 i never said you said that? i only said that to segue into the rest of my explanation
@@Ivyrin-77 dude it was literally just my opinion, chill out
I wanted to see your comments on Charlotte's anger :(
hey idk if you already saw but they uploaded it now
@@Zeldarulah hey! I watched. Thanks for looking out, my friend. It's very much appreciated
Sound cuts out during the credits, good LP though! 👍🏼👍🏼
Probably want to change the thumbnail since its a big spoiler
Great playthrough !
I forgave Jed, but part of my reasoning was that I felt it would feel more devastating for him to hear
So excited for this episode! ☀️
Does anyone have a theory or explanation as to why Alex blocked Dr Lynn and seems to not like her very much?
I believe “DR” Lynn is Alex’s subconscious trying to heal her from her trauma because she never had the chance to heal
I know I’m a few months late, but the interview at the start kinda seemed a bit…gaslight-y.
Wait am I missing something? What happened after Charlotte’s anger? (No one actually answer that, no spoilers please) where’s part 7?
Oh no! An episode is missing
This part is so brutal for me bc my grandma who took care of me died and then my dad abandoned me around the same age 😭
do you want a hug dude? or a beer?
The main thing I take from this game is...
When I transition, I wanna have the same style as Alex.
I feel like there's an episode missing
You're correct.
My Alex runs the bar with Ryan. Steph left town. I didn't get Ducky to believe her in the meeting, i can't wait to see the festival video to see how you did that. She forgave Jed but it made it better when he breaks down.
I honestly wouldve forgiven Jed. I think this game is more about showing how bad people end up doing bad things, which is mainly out of fear. And forgiving them would probably have encouraged bad people to try to be better than that
my friend he killed her WHOLE family.
When the council meeting happened, I pounded the floor moderately and yelled, "Landsmeet!!". Because of the Dragon Age: Origins vibes.
Dying at the thought of a life is strange until dawn crossover 🤣
i think an episode is missing here?
Yeah I was wait what.
Are you two going to play the Wavelengths DLC P. S. You two were muted at almost the end of the end credits seriously what the hell happened?! 🤷♂️
Could you fucking imagine if the Case Number was 42069? Lmao😂
What's that rgb contraption y'all got there?
Alex got vibranium glasses
Did I miss something? mari you skipped some parts???
Check comments
@@TheIgisas thanks!
waiting for the missing episode first :) but i'm liking this one now cos i love u both
technically you weren't shot in LIS...Chloe was...you don't play as Chloe...you play as Max...i get there are definite similarities in True Colours story to LIS Season 1 but this chapter ending is not one of them. Jed is what IMO sounds like a false hero...he tried to save people in the past and failed (the incident in the mines) and he even said himself he doesn't like people talking about it or calling him a hero. So he made a deal with Tythlon to save the town and make a better life for people and Ryan...i mean maybe there is more to it but he sounds sincere about not wanting Gabe to die. He just wanted Alex to essentially STFU...but she wouldn't. i can see his point of view even though i don't approve of it.
Jed's son is Ryan BTW just thought i should mention that...i thought that was common knowledge.
u know it's the most fu%$ed up LIS yet when you think they swapped the dad dying for brother dying...and then they finally reveal it was both....hello darkness my old friend.
Uhm... I think we are missing a part?
Read the comments.
Wolves only do that "alpha" thing in captivity
Great game much better than the Original Life is Strange
Love you ladies 😘
Not all men are terrible Mari….I hope you’re being “funny”
I hope not
Is there an episode VOD missing? :o
There has to be because the entire Spring festival is missing and last we saw was Ethan crying in Alex's arms.
