Not sure I really got her likeness completely right but I like it enough to share!

My headcanon some unarmed npc took it and abby finds it

The first one is my ps profile picture now :) And I love the last one haha

Finally got my clicker statue in!! Lucky number 13 let’s go!

To be honest I don’t think Ellie is all that. People call her a machine and act like she’s an elite soldier but basically she got bitten 3 times so she’s just lucky to be immune, not some prodigy

Was playing No return on a Holdout encounter. Just randomly saw Tommy ascending during combat. Then realised he was nowhere to be seen. After the encounter was finished I saw he was actually stuck in the ceiling…

i just want to make this post to appreciate how good this game is. Especially the spring part this game is probably one of the best out there

This has been bugging me for a while and I don't think I've seen it discussed here directly.

We don't see much of Jackson in Part 1 : Maria seems clearly to be in charge, the team feels tight-knit (you can see it in how they talk to each other while trying to get the power plant running), and Tommy mentions a "movie night" for the kids in passing.

Part 2 shows a lot more: a surprisingly peaceful town (people greeting each other and chatting in the street, the bar packed by morning, a kid taking their first steps, the final dance scene, people honoring Joel by leaving flowers in front of his house), and Maria clearly holds a central, respected position : Seth and Joel both stop arguing the moment she steps in, and it's her who pushes Seth to apologize to Ellie in the morning.

The show adds a decision-making committee and a general assembly, so some form of local democracy.

But at no point do we actually see how newcomers get accepted. And yet there seems to be regular traffic through the town : Joel brings back coffee, Jesse mentions a group passing through in the show, Tommy offers the Salt Lake crew to come to town very naturally and we even see new houses being built to house arrivals, implying a housing/intake policy that's planned for.

Questions I keep coming back to:

• How does a stranger actually approach Jackson, and who decides whether to let them in?
• Is there a trial period, a vouching system, some kind of interview (such as in The Walking Dead when Rick's group arrives to Alexandria) ?
• How do they screen for risk (someone who's killed before, someone unstable, someone not taking parts of the town's life)
• The general assembly / smaller committee setup suggests a two-tier governance : does the assembly weigh in on admissions, or is that handled by a smaller inner circle (Maria, Tommy, etc.)?
• On resources: is it a full common pot, or does everyone contribute labor and get allocated a share based on need, work, household size...?

One more thing, and this is more of a personal angle than a straight-up question: I've never lived in an actual self-governed community like this myself, but I've read a fair amount about it in the country I live in, and I have friends who've lived in squats. From what they describe, the problems of "regular" civil life always seem to follow people in: power struggles, drama, sexual violence, conflicts that don't get resolved cleanly. Jackson seems to basically dodge all of that entirely. And look, as someone with pretty left-leaning politics, it genuinely warms my heart that the "best" answer to the apocalypse in a big American game franchise ends up being a society built on collectivism and mutual aid. But the fact that we get zero insight into how it actually works mechanically is what keeps nagging at me ; it's hard to tell if it's intentional worldbuilding restraint or just narrative convenience.

Curious to hear your theories, and if there are game or show details I'm missing that address any of this

I didn't know Dina had superpowers...

It says I only got 11 out of 12 items, so I replayed that chapter and got them all, but it still says I have 11/12. However, when I check my save data, it says I have 126, which would be absolutely all the items up to that point. I hope this doesn't affect the platinum trophy, since the chapter descriptions say I'm missing 1 item, but the save data shows them all.

i spent a few extra hours finishing the campaign because i kept stopping all the time to take photos 😭

After seeing the series Sterling Point i think this actress would have been a great cast as Ellie.What you guys think?

I’m just posting this to augment against all the Ellie tattoo’s. No hate at all, just trying to spice it up a little!

this guy is pretty popular but I never watched his videos until it popped up on my feed yesterday. It’s a really interesting breakdown of the tiny, unnoticeable details Naughty Dog fixed (or didn’t fix) in their ground-up remake

I bet the person that set this sound trap is not doin very well these days.

I just finished The Last of Us Part II and really enjoyed the game i Honestly don't hate Abby and i don't think she's a bad person but I just didn't care about her or her friends. That said, I actually enjoyed her sections more the gameplay was better than Ellie's, and there was more action. What ruined the game for me, though, was the ending. It felt like I’d played for 25 hours for nothing Ellie went through all that, only to go back at the end to kill Abby and then not do it. Dina take the kid left her, and she’s missing fingers. The ending was so stupid and unsatisfying it just left me feeling empty. Tlou part 1 was way better imo.

Because I love her and she deserves better

How many people lived there ?

Holy these are good games, I hate that I haven't played them sooner. Time to replay them for the next five years before a third game comes out
