So I've not seen the game yet, but I'm going to be watching it at a slower pace and I don't mind spoilers (I've still never played the first game despite liking the Ellie and Joel dynamic; it's just not my genre). Just mentioning this for when I inevitably misunderstand from one of your comments!
I'm a little sorry that gorgeous 'Ellie and Dina dance and kiss' cutscene from the trailer doesn't appear to be in the game itself. (It's still canon, to clarify for anyone wondering, but it takes place before the game begins.)
Wonder whether it was originally meant to be, then somebody went, "This is controversial and might put people off" and it got pulled?
I got Abby killed by infected and went 'well, maybe this is for the best, because I'm getting the impression she's not good news for the characters I care about,' but alas you can't just go 'okay, the character I was playing as has died but I'd like to continue the story, please.'
If this worked in games it'd be kind of amazing, particularly the more convoluted the narrative got. Roxas dies in the prologue of KH2? GUESS YOU'RE NEVER GETTING THE SORA SECTION. Or in Assassin's Creed 3: Haytham dies, guess Connor was never born! That was a short game.
ELLIE'S GOT A JOURNAL, I LOVE IN-GAME JOURNALS
In game journals can be great! Is it written in Ellie character voice? That's my sign of a good in-game journal. Life is Strange always did a good job with them, and the Black Mirror games have great journals: serve as a reminder of what you've done and got to do, but Darren's sarcastic summaries of events are often hilarious.
I guess the Joel thing makes sense to grow Ellie as a character on her own, as I can't see them voluntarily parting.
OF COURSE, THIS DEVELOPMENT ISN'T CANON, BECAUSE IN REALITY ABBY GOT KILLED BY INFECTED EARLIER BECAUSE I CAN'T SNEAK.
This is the canon timeline! Lalala!
I keep accidentally pressing the shoot button instead of the sprint one. Whoops.
I hope this is while you are stealthily trying to escape, and then stealth is an impossibility.

Here's something I thought you'd find funny:
I've been learning Python in lockdown, because why not? It's recently taught me the random function which is my favourite thing ever, so I've been inventing ridiculous scenarios in which to test it. I decided to code a version of the ZTD Rec Room puzzle, where you have to roll all 1s. I ran it a few times with varying results during bug testing. Once, it took 15 times. Here is my favourite one: https://postimg.cc/HVtFsqYZ Uh, hope you're having fun, C-Team!
