I'm going to need three more reasons
There's a part in Life is Strange where a character called Kate is attempting suicide and standing on the edge of the roof of a building, and you have to talk her down. When Joe got to this part, he guessed that his choices in the game up to that point would influence whether or not he would be able to save her. So he paused the scene and said "That's true, you did pick up that phone call when I called you earlier", in reference to a scene earlier in the game where he had to choose whether or not to answer a phone call from Kate, as a guess of what she might say next if the writing was going to be more about making you feel like your choices matter rather than maturely handling a suicide attempt scene. Then immediately after he unpaused, Kate said something to the effect of what he guessed she'd say.[1] This is why he still sometimes says something along the lines of "That's true, you did do that, but I'm gonna need three more reasons…" whenever a game tries to show you that your choices matter.
