So, I have subjected themselves to the entirety of Life is Strange 2's agonizing final episodes and has, predictably, emerged with… opinions. This auditory ordeal you've concocted meticulously dissects the game's monumentally stupid ending—a true masterclass in how not to conclude a narrative. Prepare for an extended critique of the writers' breathtakingly detached and often cringeworthy portrayal of sensitive cultural issues, particularly racism and the Mexican-American experience (apparently, authentic representation was too much to ask from a French dude and someone from Massachusetts).

You'll also be treated to insights on:

• Why Episode 4 was only marginally less painful (spoiler: less of the insufferable younger brother, Daniel).
• The game's laughably skewed 'choice' mechanics that expose the illusion of player agency.
• The older brother's (Sean's) chronic spinelessness versus Daniel's journey to becoming a brat of epic proportions.
• Those utterly pointless dream sequences and the baffling return of their absentee mother.
• A finale so nonsensical it causes actual whiplash, complete with a character decision that defies all logic.
• A grudging admission that, despite its myriad flaws, it's still somehow a slight improvement over the abysmal Before the Storm. Shocking, I know.

If you’re a glutton for punishment, need validation for your own LiS2-induced trauma, or are simply studying the art of narrative self-sabotage, well, this podcast… exists. Don't come crying to me if your faith in storytelling takes a hit.

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t played Episodes 2 and 3 of Life Is Strange 2, bail now or forever hold your peace. In this episode of my podcast, I unload on every nonsensical plot beat, from that pointless dog death to your hyperactive little brother’s nonstop rule-breaking. Why am I still playing? Why are these writers still pumping out sibling angst instead of actual character growth? Join me as I chronicle: • The pointless “cabin in the woods” time jump that kills any momentum • A puppy massacre so random it feels like a dev-studio convenience • An unlikable brat who defies ‘don’t use your powers’ more than a toddler ignores bedtime • Drug farms, punk-pot heads, and shotgun spectacle—because why not? • Why the music never slaps like it did in the original • My reluctant pilgrimage to Episode 4 (because misery loves company)If you crave sarcasm, savage takes, and occasional profanity (tactical, I swear), hit play. Let’s mock this walking simulator together. 🗿
