Every time I hear about some sort of major acquisition in games, I set a mental timer for myself to check in on them in about a year and see how many projects got canned and people got laid off

The best bit is I’ll continue to yell the ghost’s name out 999999 times regardless 😂

Yeah I don’t think it recognises names. All I can find online is old Reddit discussions on whether it works, nothing definitive though. I guess it’s easier to claim/hint that it behaves that way; it doesn’t seem worth implementing when simply making nose increases ghost activity

GALADRIEL: I shall diminish and move to the left to pay the cashier.

Currently sat in a full drs surgery waiting room and I’m the only person masked up 🥴 make it make sense pls

Played Phasmo a lot and I’m fairly certain mic input has an impact, but it’s probably not as nuanced as I’d like to believe 🧐 e.g. during hunts when making mic noise the ghost will hightail to my location. I’ve also had it hunt immediately when aggro-ing it via the spirit box

I did the same!! Got the 2nd and 3rd book on kindle, hopefully we’ll get a box set when the final book releases 🙏🙏🙏

I love love love the Locked Tomb series, hope you enjoy it! 🥰

Took Pippa to see some sea puppies! It’s her birthday this month so we’re taking her on lots of fun trips 🐶🎉

It’s gotta be because of the ‘special game mat’ right? 😆

Yeah the vibes there are 10/10! My character trait is the Neon Street Rat as well and it’s fun seeing it pop as in speech options 😄 Are there any quest lines or areas you recommend? Feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface so far

It’d be okay if the loading screens were short but sadly there’s enough time to stare back at my reflection and think ‘is this….fun? Am I enjoying myself?’

I’m enjoying Starfield but had to put it down for a bit - currently doing all the quests in Neon and the high volume of loading screens in the area is mentally draining

Plus my yearly watch of Over the Garden Wall 🎃🪨

I started Outer Wilds, got to the Dark Bramble and noped out 😭 I’ve heard it’s one of the best game experiences ever so I’ll have to return and be braaave

It’s Autumn which means it’s time for my annual playthrough of Night in the Woods
