I will tell you what I remember

Captain Allen captures Connor and sends him to the camp. There Connor sees Kara, Alice and Luther. He gets a choice whether to help them or not.

If he chooses to help them, he becomes a deviant and attacks the soldiers. Kara’s group runs to the fence. Kara gets a choice whether to leave Connor or help him.

If she chooses to help, she attacks the soldiers and if player wins most QTE for Kara and Connor they run together to the truck and leave.

I know it’s unfinished. But still it’s quite nice for a dream

I’m not sure if it’s the right sub

I’ve watched that movie two times with two months break. And… it changed me somehow.

There are two main reasons why I love that movie. The first reason is that I’ve been dreaming about life in other worlds, times, places all my life. The second and most important reason is that it showed me something I needed to see and hear.

When I watched it for the first time I was in such a shock. Because I’m literally living with Evelyn-mom all my life (and she was the one who showed me that movie). And when I looked at Joy, gosh… I knew exactly how it feels, because I feel the same way. Like she said, “I have felt everything your daughter has felt. And I know the joy and the pain of having you as my mother.”.

We were watching it with a small break, and I was really excited after the first part. I believed that it would actually help me to find the right way, again like Joy said: «I was hoping you would see something I didn’t. That you would convince me there was another way». And when we watched the end, I was so frustrated and broken. Maybe because I thought: “If Joy would had left, maybe I should have gone too”. It would give me the courage to do that. But that ending had just convinced me that the bagel is what I need. Because from my point of view nothing is everything, and because I really wanted to be consumed, sucked into a bagel (I’m in a depressive episode, so these thoughts are normal kind of thing for me).

And then I decided to rewatch it on my own. And suddenly it felt… different. You know, I’m really stuck on thoughts that this world is nothing but piece of garbage. I used to love it dearly when I was a child but I started hating it when I grew up. But suddenly I understood that I’m wrong.

This world is unfair, fucked up and messy. It’s full of darkness and hate. And it wants to hurt you as badly as it can. But there is still something good, even in this dirty and nasty world. There is always a contrast, because if it would have consisted of the pain only, it wouldn’t be hurting us that much, we’d just got used to the pain. As Waymond said: “When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything.”.

I can’t change this world. And I don’t have to. That’s impossible. But what I can do is to change my viewing of things. I wouldn’t safe the world if I try seeing good in it. But it would make my life easier. Again, as Waymond said: “The only thing I do know... is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind - especially when we don't know what's going on.”.

When I got to the ending and watched that dialogue between Joy and Evelyn I just couldn’t stop crying. Because I finally understood that it’s not about Joy forgiving Evelyn and giving her the second chance when she supposed not to. It’s about Joy never wanting to leave at first place, and seeking understanding. And I guess that’s what I was looking for all my life.

And then it got me thinking: “What if I would actually live not here but in some other place and time or even other universe. Would I have to choose one place of so many I’d like to live in? Would there be things that are so special to me? And even if they would have, would I be enjoying them the way I do? Wouldn’t they become a routine?”. And I understand that whatever shit happens in my life I’m still choosing the real world. Because of things that make me happy.

No judgement, I just want to understand.

Just can’t get it. I may not be the greatest fan of Kara’s story, but I feel really bad because of people who hate this twist. For me it was really reasonable thing. I want to explain why.

For me the main question in Kara’s story was: ‘Can or cannot the machine love anyone, and if she does, what is she ready to do to protect people she loves?’.

Her story was rather boring for me, and the only moments that are really interesting for me were those where Alice was acting not like a common child. I’m not a parent, but I am a teacher and I work a lot with kids. And when I see something strange about a child, my work is to see and learn what is the reason of this kid’s behaviour and what can I do for him to help. So with Alice I was just… doing my job.

When I learned the truth about Alice, I was really satisfied. Because her whole story from simple love and protection (or even Heavy Rain’s moto ‘How far are you prepared to go to save your son’) turned into something more.

‘Did Kara really love Alice? Or did she love the idea of Alice being a real kid?’ That’s what I asked myself when I decided to see what will happen if I won’t hug Alice when I learned the truth. And the most awful thing for me was that this is what Alice had been afraid of.

An android kid, as much as a human kid, needs love and protection. Yes, Alice do not have red blood in her veins, but she can actually kill Todd in order to protect Kara. And many times she was trying to protect Kara, just as much as Kara was protecting her.

If you love person only because she is something you think, maybe you love not this person but the idea of her being someone?

I apologise in advance for my English, I know it sucks. And this may not be about being an aromantic in the common way, but this is just what I feel. Don’t judge me for being weird.

All my life I thought I know what does it mean to love. I thought what I feel to my family, my friends, all this world is love.

All my life I’ve been living in a two different worlds: the world of people and my own world. I always used to separate these things: I was acting like one person but I was never that person for real.

But when my life started falling apart I stopped doing that. I cannot communicate with people the way I used to anymore. I was too afraid, I ran away from reality because the only thing reality has ever given me was pain.

And when I did, people who were supposed (in my dreams) to support me started thinking that this is some kind of disease, sickness.

When I am looking back on my life I see that I have never felt love to my family, friends or anyone else. I misunderstood love for my desire of being understood, having the connection, feeling free to be myself. I thought that these are the same things.

Wherever I have been I was looking for people who could understand me, I was trying to find this connection. And I failed many times. I have been lucky when some people were staying my friends, but once I’ve been hurt too much and too strong. And I don’t want to interact with people too much since then. My ‘closest ones’ say to that I’m just a coward.

I didn’t want love or understanding. Not anymore. I learned that people can only hurt me in different ways. I used to love them, but now I feel hate.

And I don’t know what would have happened to me and my life if I hadn’t play Detroit and hadn’t see Connor. I had never been in such a shock. Everything he does, all his fears, his actions, his empathy and emotions and the way he hides them… that what I’ve been doing all my life.

I have never felt this way of understanding. I see him, I know him for real. I am so glad he exists. Because I can feel that my emotions, my desires, my fears, my feelings are valid, are real and not only some kind of malfunction in my mind.

He hadn’t cure me. But because of him I don’t want to be cured anymore.

I never had sex for my short life and surprisingly I don’t feel freak about that anymore because now I understand that I don’t need that. I used to feel that I’m strange but now I understand that lived my whole life without sex and I don’t feel like I’m dying without that.

I never actually understood my sexuality ‘cause I’ve been raised in family and country where it is a shame for a woman to like and date another woman. I used to think that I am bisexual because I can enjoy the look of both man and woman bodies but now I see that I don’t want to have sex even if I like the appearance of that person.

I can imagine other people in the process, I think about that not quite often, but I do not want to have sex in real life. I can fall in love but I want my partner (I don’t really care who) and me to have the connection, to understand each other. Most importantly I need talking and sharing feelings.

Can you help me, guys? I talked to AI and she says I can be asexual but I want to be sure.

I am trying to understand myself and build my own identity and this matter is quite important for me.

I just wanted to thank David Cage for this game. It really helped me to went through a lot.

Now I am building my own identity and trying to understand myself. This game is helping me a lot.

Now I am really alive!

Hi everyone! I’m new to Heavy Rain and I love this game very much so far.

But now I’ve got a problem. I’m on a killer’s place chapter and I can’t enter the apartment! Every time I move my mouse the game resets the QTE!

I’m playing on an old and rusty computer, but before that particular moment everything was fine.

Can you help me, please. I’m really wanna play more but this game is resisting.

Just interested to hear other players stories.

My first ending was:

>!Connor was best friend with Hank. He became deviant and freed androids in CiberLife Tower. Both Hank and Connor were alive and got a hug in post-credits scene. I was really happy about that and this scene made me feel even better. !<

>!Kara turned back tickets to the family. I needed even one more playthrough to not feel bad for 'stealing' them. She and Luther died trying to get to Canada by river. Alice survived. !<

>!Marcus led nonviolent protest with kissing North at the end. My public opinion was high enough so they all survived. Except for my man Simon, who died on a roof. !<

My cannon ending is >!not really different from that except for the Kara's story ending. I was really happy when I led her group across the border with no sacrifice. !<

>!Also I save Simon too, it's really bad to see him die. He's coolest android on Jericho!!<

Among all the other odds and pits in Marcus's story there is one character that makes me really nervous. And yes, it's Josh.

He is annoying, he had never actually suggested anything, but he was always criticizing my every fucking desigion!

And the most fucked up moment for me is when he tells Marcus: 'What's the point of being free if no one is left alive?' in Crossroads, when before the Freedom March he was saying to North: 'That's a risk I'm prepared to take if it means freedom for our people'. Fuck man, are you kidding me?

He doesn't play much role in the plot. I like the actor, he's got cool voice, but this character is just holding you back.

Hi everyone!

I really love GoT and I was wondering: what's your opinion on the other series of Martin's universe?

I watched GoT with other person who hardly recommended me to watch tHotD and never really was interested in aKotSK (we watched a few episodes together, but I wasn't really interested. Maybe because I was mad at her).

Does they worth watching? Now I am no longer with that person and I was thinking to watch them on my own. Would you recommend them?

I had this on my mind for a long time. Why did she draw a red blood on her face?

As far as I see, Alice knew she is an android. She many times said: 'Why do humans hate us?', she was upset when Kara asked her about Mary and what happened (I can get it. Kids often think that if they are 'wrong, not normal' their parents won't love them anymore.).

I understand that if they drew her with blue blood in her face in second Kara's chapter, then everybody would have guessed Alice is no human, but still, why did they add that detail?

What if Alice was feeling left out? What if she thought: 'Dad hates me because I am not like him' and that was the way to unite her with Todd?

A penny for your thoughts
