How to fix all paintings in Life is Strange: Double Exposure

Max Caulfield

Life is Strange: Double Exposure tells an emotional and captivating tale that aims to keep you guessing right up till the end, and there are plenty of serious (and occasionally melodramatic) story beats to focus on as you work through this narrative-first adventure. But that doesn’t mean there’s never any time for a bit of fun on the side. As a matter of fact, you’ll encounter a lot of optional content that just exists for worldbuilding purposes in this newest entry in the long-running franchise. One such event occurs in the opening hour of the game when a handwritten note on the wall informs you that some goofball has been turning the art pieces in the Snapping Turtle bar upside down.

If you want to earn a bit of appreciation from art enthusiasts, as well as net the “Art Restoration” trophy and achievement, you’ll want to fix all three paintings in the Snapping Turtle bar. Here are their locations.

The first painting is called “Native Artist Spotlight.” You’ll find this one directly next to the stage — the same spot where the handwritten note is located. Flip it over and move on to the next one!

Painting 2 – Collage Art

The second painting is called “Collage Art.” This one can be found in the back part of the bar under a window on the same wall as the female pirate mural. Flip that sucker over and head over to the final painting.

Painting 3 – Robot Painting

The third painting is called “Robot Painting. This one can be spotted on a wall with a lot of other paintings in a general seating area just to the left of the bar itself (and just to the right of the bathrooms). Flip it to finish up this optional challenge and earn the “Art Restoration” trophy or achievement.

Unknown 9: Awakening is already a thrilling superhero spectacle
The hero of Unknown 9 Awakening: floats through a street.

Unknown 9: Awakening feels like something out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A hero with a dead mentor figure? Check. Superpowers? Check. Mysterious organizations that want to use those powers for nefarious purposes? I don't even need to say it, do I.

Haroona, a woman who can channel psychic powers from a parallel dimension called the Fold, leads the story with her strong sense of justice and arsenal of abilities. Clichés aside, what impressed me most about Unknown 9 during a 60-minute hands-on demo at PAX West was its worldbuilding and how it encouraged me to experiment with Haroona's powers. I'll admit, I was confused about how to juggle them within the first few minutes of the preview. But once I adapted, I was swapping between the buttons without an issue, even if I accidentally missed a hit or two.

Astro Bot climbs on a DualSense controller.

Eventually, even the best PS5 controllers can succumb to the dreaded joystick drift. When this happens, it becomes a nightmare to play the best PS5 games since you will be constantly fighting for control. This mainly applies to the PS5's DualSense controllers, but drift can also appear in PS4 controllers. A controller with a drifting joystick essentially renders your games unplayable, and getting it repaired or replaced can leave you with no way to enjoy your console for days. Before going through any of that, here's how to fix controller drift on your PlayStation's joysticks.

If you're willing to pay a little extra, fixing this issue with Sony's DualSense Edge controller is a breeze thanks to it having a modular design that allows you to swap out the control sticks. If you're rocking an original DualSense, or older PS4 controller, the following steps are your best bet.

Is Lords of the Fallen cross-platform?
A knight with a large sword prepares to stab a dragon in Lords of the Fallen.

If there's one thing you can count on in nearly any Soulslike game, it's that you're going to face some hefty challenges along your journey. That rings as true as ever in Lords of the Fallen, which tasks you with exploring treacherous locales and facing off against horrifying and deadly creatures around every corner. As such, you may find yourself wanting to bring a friend along for some cooperative play as you would in Elden Ring, and you can do exactly that by simply inviting them to your world, where they can stay for as long as they'd like. But not all Soulslikes are cross-platform games, so we'll fill you in on whether this one is.
Is Lords of the Fallen cross-platform?

The quick and easy answer to whether Lords of the Fallen has crossplay is yes, it features crossplay just like Minecraft and Sea of Thieves. However, this only works between PC and each console individually, meaning that PlayStation 5 and Xbox players can't connect with one another. For those on either platform looking to connect with PC players, though, you can freely invite someone for co-op (or invade them for PVP) with no issues whatsoever.
