13 August, International Lefthanders Day

Sheva Alomar in Resident Evil 5

Stefano Valentini in The Evil Within 2 (it looks like he is ambidexterous, but he uses his daggers mainly with the left hand)

Rachel Amber in Life Is Strange: Before The Storm (Rachel is ambidexterous, but can be seen writing and drawing with her left hand)

Chloe Price in Life Is Strange: Before The Storm

Poirot in Hercule Poirot - The First Cases (courtesy of @afterdarkmysweet )

Assassin's Creed Syndicate at the Movies, 2: Stonehearst Asylum

The scene in the Lambeth Asylum showing the inmates in the main hall dancing and fooling around while one of them is playing the piano, resembles the scene from Brad Anderson's movie "Stonehearst Asylum" where the inmate Eliza Graves is playing the piano in the hall and the rest of the inmates are dancing around.

The aftermath of some Gang Wars, with the hats of the gang members lying around, resemble shots from the beginning of Christopher Nolan's movie "The Prestige"

Masks

Lara in “Shadow of the Tomb Raider”

Daniel in “Life Is Strange 2″

The games were released within a week’s space from each other, so it’s either co-incidental or a mutual easter egg, since they were both productions of the same company, Square Enix - very likely, because Lara is in Mexico while wearing her Day of the Dead mask, and Daniel is also Mexican.

Playful Hades (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey)

[strangedarkstories]

In Life is Strange 2, Episode 2, in the cabin in the Oregon forest (screenshot 1) there are two graffiti that resemble two that appear in the Campus parking lot in Life Is Strange 1 (screenshots 2 &3). This of course is an inside easter egg that connects the two games, but it could also mean that Max and Chloe also passed from that cabin after leaving Arcadia Bay (assuming that Max sacrificed the town to save Chloe), since they had nowhere to go for a while.
