We talked about the 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: problematic things, but how much I'm enjoying it and I 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: am still on it and I'm old still a bit obsessed. Yeah, yeah, 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: And we in that episode you were talking about, you know, 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: kind of the binary problems that might arise some of 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: these more misogynistic are are things God that might arise? 14 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: But when you were talking about it, I've remembered that 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: we had a listener who wrote in I think a 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: year ago named Amanda who was like, you've got to 17 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: play we Haven we Haven Chronicles because it's you know, 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: got vampires, it's got supernatural elements, it's got romance, all 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: of this stuff. And I had downloaded it then because 20 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I would love to do this 21 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and then I never played it because I got distracted. 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: But this restarted the memory and we Samantha and I 23 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: have now played the first book. Yes, and I got 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: through it much faster than you because you were two 25 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: weeks ahead of me. And I was like, how did 26 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I get faster than you? To be fair, when I 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: get caught up something in something, I get caught up 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: in something. I am a person for sure. Um. So 29 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: I finished it within a day. But I was like, wait, 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: you've been on that one decision for a week. What 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about that? It was so funny. 32 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I was just deliberating. Fact. I was like sending people 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: who had no idea what I was talking about. I 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: was like, here are the plus and minuses of going 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: with this person, and they're like, what it took me 36 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: forever to make the decision? Um? And I like that 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: you had a prediction. We'll come back and talk about 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: it about like who I should have done? Um, But anyway, 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: and I assume that it would be a specific person. 40 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, you didn't not at all. Okay, okay, yes, 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about it. So this is 42 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: going to be sort of a lighter, more fun episode 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: where we talk about our experiences. But also we reached 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: out to a listener, Amanda again, and we just asked, like, 45 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: what was your experience, what did you like about it? 46 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Can you send us just some general things that you 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: really enjoyed about the game and your experience with the game, 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: And Amanda delivered and sent as an audio file and 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: all of these questions. So, Amanda, one, you're amazing.

You are the interviewer because we're going to 52 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: give our answers to the questions that you wrote out. Yes, 53 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you're a hero here to our attention. We enjoyed this 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: very much. Your answers were amazing. I'm so excited. Yes, 55 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be fun. And I can't 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: wait to compare our statistics because essentially, yeah, you choose, 57 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: You get a lot of options, and you choose something 58 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: and then that at the end or at any time, 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: you can check and see if like you're more charming 60 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: or more intimidating and all of these things in your 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: statistics based on the choices that you made. Um So 62 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: at the end, Samantha and I are going to compare that, 63 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: and I think it'll be very, very funny. But yes, 64 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: before we get into that, for anyone who's listening, and 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: it's like, what are you talking about?

Oh oh, we both chose so it 100 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: was like four or five names you could shoo us. 101 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: I went with Kara Kingston, who has started as detective 102 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: in this small town of wey Haven, where it sounds 103 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: like not a lot happens in general, but of course 104 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: when you first start, suddenly there are murders, bodies are dropping, 105 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: and you're not sure what's going on. And then your mother, 106 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: who you can change the relationship with the mother.

But it sounds like she's really busy 109 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: and you don't see her that much. Comes in and 110 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: she's got this. You know, you didn't Bravo from this 111 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: kind of secretive government agency. And yes they're all vampires. Yeah, 112 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: well this group, this particular group, Samantha is giving me 113 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: a very meaningful look. M and I did have a 114 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: lot of fun playing it, um I I was funny 115 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: how much I got so caught up in But what 116 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: if it's the wrong decision? Che and I contemplated the 117 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: decision for days, for days, and I would also, I 118 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: wonder if you felt this, Samantha. But I would get 119 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: torn between like this is what I would actually do 120 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: and this is what I hope I would do. And 121 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: I would try to be truthful to what I think 122 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: I would do, even if sometimes I was like, I 123 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: probably do that because that's part of the funds, like 124 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: doing what you think you should do and seeing what 125 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: would happen. I actually had a couple of incidents and 126 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: it may have just been me on the phone where 127 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: a couple of decisions were taken out of my hands. 128 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: It would just bypasses like, no, I didn't make that decision. 129 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: So I've had the been like three or four times, 130 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: I think, and I was like, how did that happen? 131 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Soul feel like that if something goes wrong, if there's 132 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: a way to play this wrong, that's what happened. Oh, 133 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna blame it on that. Yeah, it is because 134 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: those affects, those choices affect you. Clearly. I guess we 135 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: should have said not a sponsor currently by any of this. 136 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: We just wanted to talk about it because we had 137 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: a good time. Um right now game sponsors best Fiends 138 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: and yes, I'll still play that. Can't wait to talk 139 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: about that again. In our ad experience. If you haven't 140 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: heard it, listeners, Sapantha gets real real, come on, this 141 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: is how I make a nemesis. Yes, I love it. 142 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: And Amanda was kind enough to to answer these questions 143 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: in written format. But also to send us an audiophile 144 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: about why she really enjoyed Wey Haven and a little 145 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: bit about her experience with it, so we thought we'd 146 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: play that. What can I say about the Way Haven 147 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: Chronicles Well, first and foremost, it's a supernatural murder mystery 148 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: with vampire love interest, so it didn't take much to 149 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: sell me. I've been playing many of these text based 150 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: choose you own adventure stories for some time, and a 151 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: big draw has always been choosing a gender and sexuality 152 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: that matches my own and having reflected in the game. 153 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: But what really makes the Way Having chronicles stand out 154 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: is just a well written and plotted out the character 155 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: arcs and story are a love interest in particular for you. 156 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: Bravo has such distinct personalities that fit all sorts of 157 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: romantic tropes. Do you love slow burns with yearning aver 158 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Adam is your best bet? Do you love falling in 159 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: love with your best friend for or Felix? What about 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: the angsty rebel pretends to hate everyone but has a 161 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: secret soft side morgana Mason, And of course the person 162 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: who almost seems too good to be true, but who 163 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: may actually have a secret hidden a way Nadally your name. 164 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: Each of these interactions is so unique and varies depending 165 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: on who you decide to ultimately romance, if anyone, which 166 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: is another fantastic bonus. You don't have to romance anyone 167 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: if you decide that's not your thing. Determining who will 168 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: be your best friend was just as interesting to me 169 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: as any potential budding romance, especially because of re prizy 170 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: to be kind and mesh with them. Not just anyone 171 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: will be able to match Aver adams gruff, no nonsense attitude. 172 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: This is in part due to the choices helping you 173 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: friend to detective personality, your surroundings and character interactions providing 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: an opportunity to reflect yourself within the character. Even the 175 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: little details, which is whether you drink coffee or tea? 176 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: And what about with the pastry? You always got to 177 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: get it with the pastry. Whether you're detective is a 178 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: direct carbon copy yourself, which fulfillment or neither. It's been 179 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: a fun experiment trying the different personality combinations. It's easy 180 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: in many games to play as a snarky a hole 181 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: without any repercussions or anyone taking notice. But I love 182 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: how in this game that truly dictates how the other 183 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: characters will address you and follow through in the later books. 184 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: My last point I will say about the series and 185 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: why I love it is again focus on how the 186 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: story draws you in with these elements and delivers are 187 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: really compelling narrative that truly does change with each playthrough, 188 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: depend on how you equip your detective socially and with 189 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: different skills. With no spoilers, I've never had two runs 190 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: be the same and can make it feel like an action, 191 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: romantic comedy or a thriller with a doomed romance, all 192 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: depending on these choices, and I think that's why even 193 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: after four years, I'm still replaying and eagerly awaiting the 194 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: third book. So yeah, thank you Amanda for sending that 195 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: in and for writing out in these questions also, which 196 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna use throughout. We really really appreciate it. Okay, 197 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: So I think we're we're going to go through and 198 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: read Amanda's experience, and then we're going to give our 199 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: own experiences based on on what we experienced. I'm saying 200 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: I'll experience a lot, but based on what we chose 201 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: and oh, the deliberations, the deliberations and what happened. I'm 202 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: very curious to see if there were some differences in 203 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: what happened, because I've only played it once, so I 204 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you can shift or if the ending 205 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: is kind of set. It sounds like you can get 206 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: multiple INDO play it just to see. Yeah, and we 207 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: both downloaded the second one, but we haven't started it yet, 208 00:11:54,040 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: but maybe a redo revisit, so I guess samthan I 209 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: already kind of answered this one, but Amanda wrote what 210 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: can I say about the Way having Chronicles? Well, first 211 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: and foremost, it's a supernatural murder mystery with vampire love interest, 212 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: so it didn't take much to sell me. I had 213 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: been playing many of these text based choose your own 214 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: adventure stories for some time, and a big draw has 215 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: always been choosing a gender and sexuality that matches my 216 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: own and having it reflected in the game. But what 217 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: makes the Way and Chronicles stand out is just how 218 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: well written and plotted out the character arcs and story are. 219 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: The love interest, in particular for Unit Bravo, have such 220 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: distinct personalities that it fits specific tropes. Do you love 221 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: slow burns with Yearning? Ava slash Adam is your best bet? 222 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: Do you love Falling in Love with your best friend 223 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: Fair slash Felix. What about the angsty rebel who pretends 224 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: to hate everyone but has a secret sauce side Morgan's 225 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: flash from Mason, And of course the person who almost 226 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: seems too good to be true but may have a 227 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: secret hidden away Natalie slash Nate. So if you're confused 228 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: by the names, I believe, and again I've only played 229 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: it once. And Samantha and I you both chose bisexual, correct, 230 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: I believe if you choose gay, maybe you get I 231 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe you get only women's names. Um, if 232 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: you're a woman, I don't know. I have no idea. 233 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: This is just speculation because we did not have Samantha, 234 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: I did not have these names. Um maybe it's what 235 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: we were playing on. That is just a theory that 236 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: I have. But so we had two women and two men, Adam, Nate, 237 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: Farah and Morgan. So two men and two women, those 238 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: were the romantic interest for us. Um Amanda continues, Each 239 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: of these interactions is so unique in barries, depending on 240 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: who you decide to ultimately romance if anyone, which is 241 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: another fantastic bonus. You don't have to romance anyone if 242 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: you decide that's not your thing. Um so, yeah, this 243 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: is one of the funniest things to be I that 244 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: was the decision I got so hung up on. I 245 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: was like, who shall I rollmance? Because eventually I had 246 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: been flirting with everybody, right, yeah, you you you. But 247 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: eventually you get kind of towards the end this message 248 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: that says, all right, you need to lock down who 249 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: are you going to pursue and it's gonna you can't 250 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: change it later. You have to stick with it for 251 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the game, and I did. I texted 252 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: multiple people screenshots of this and they're like, we don't 253 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: know who these people are, Like, we can't help you out. 254 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: I was so stuck in my head and I'm somebody 255 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: who yes, I identify as a sexual. Romance isn't really 256 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: my thing. But I do like flirting. I really actually 257 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: do like flirting. Um So I got all caught up 258 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: in it and it was fun. I did enjoy it. 259 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: I did kind of like, oh, I wonder what will 260 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: happen if I Yeah, I mean you and I talked 261 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: about this between this and our last book club, talking 262 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: about missing the flirting bit. I hate dating. I'm really 263 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: bad at it, but I'm really good at flirting. I'm 264 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: really good at flirting where there's no stakes, so essentially 265 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: like there's nothing there, but this is fun and I 266 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: can flirt with you. I'm really good at that. If 267 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: it's trying to be purposeful. I am clumsy like everything. 268 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: But I think I talked about our meet cute like 269 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: I am clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. So when I'm trying to 270 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: purposely flirt, uh, with no intention, I am great at 271 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: it and I enjoy it a lot. And then there 272 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: are the moments where you're like the beginning of like 273 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: does he like me? Do we reciprocate? Or is this 274 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: just it's just one sided? It's exciting and I've missed that. 275 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: And I feel like both of these things this and 276 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: the last book that we did, um actually really puts 277 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: that to the feeling. I'm like, Okay, yeah, here we go, big, 278 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: big surly really um moody dude, let's go. Yeah. I mean, 279 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: it was definitely it was very fun because I feel 280 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: like a lot of times when the flirting part happened, 281 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: there were maybe eight decisions, and there was like two 282 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: where you could have like outright flirt, and then one 283 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: where it was kind of more subtle, and I always 284 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: did the more subtle one because I was still kind 285 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: of feeling out who I wanted, and so I got 286 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the like, oh, your your stomach feels 287 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: a little tight, but you're not sure why. Oh your 288 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: skin feels a little warm but you don't know. So 289 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: it felt very like, yeah, of what she was feeling, 290 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: but she was feeling something. Was that your experience. Did 291 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: you have more like outright flirting things. I'm pretty sure 292 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: it was the sparks because I wasn't being overtly tough 293 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: done um, because towards the end, it was all about 294 00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: the looks. Yes, the looks. The looks and didn't remind 295 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: me as I mentioned a game series I love. Mass 296 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: Effects is like this where you have, like I don't know, 297 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: seven people, you can romance, can choose your gender, and 298 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and I played it enough 299 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: times to romance everybody, but it was almost like, again, 300 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: I do think it's fun. I think it was really enjoyable, 301 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: but I also just sort of wanted to know the 302 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: story of what happens if you romance this person and 303 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: what you can learn. So I was struggling with that too, 304 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: where I was like, but I really want to know 305 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: what's going on with Morgan. I wonder was making her 306 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: this way? Yes, I wonder if I romance or I 307 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: can find out. But I did like More. I deliberated 308 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: with everybody I was so for I assumed it will 309 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: be fair, how to be honest, that's honestly, probably the 310 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: one I should have done. I ended up choosing the triangle, 311 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: the Nate and Adam, shocking to me, well, because I 312 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: wanted to see more. I want to learn more, and 313 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: so I like, I told you, if I could have 314 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: had everybody but Adam, I would have had like a 315 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: probably amorous to be fair, I was Adam. Adam was 316 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: number one for me. That's so interesting. I thought those 317 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: were too nice. I'd like to argue with people. Oh no, 318 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: not me. I was like, just leave me be, sir, 319 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: let me do my job. Read over in the corner. 320 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: M hmmm, Um, I did. I wanted to. I really 321 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: liked More and I really liked Fair. I don't know again, 322 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: if I could have chosen like multiple people, oh gosh, 323 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: who knows, But that's why I chose them. And I 324 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: do like I I like a good tough guy. Oh 325 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: but I secretly am in love with you things, so 326 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll enjoy it in the second book, but 327 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: it was very much why can I have Nate and 328 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: this person? Right again, Nate would probably the one I 329 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: would have ended up with, So I can't imagine in 330 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: real life like being with someone who's or Fara like essentially, 331 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: but yes, I do in relationships. I've only been with men, 332 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: so that's the real life. But I did I payed 333 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: bisexual because I was like, you know what, this is 334 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: one of those like let's just take up because I've 335 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: always had moments of like, this woman is beautiful, not 336 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: necessarily attracted, but I acknowledge how beautiful they are, and 337 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: I cannot ever let that go. And I'm more likely 338 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: to complement a woman than I am a man. Yeah, yeah, 339 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: And I mean it's just more options. There you go, options. 340 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm greedy, yes, exactly, exactly. Um. But something else that 341 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: Amanda talked about here's a quote. Determining who will be 342 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: your best friend was just as interesting to me as 343 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: any potential budding romance, especially because it requires you to 344 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: be kind and mesh with them. Uh, not just anyone 345 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: who'll be able to match with Avis slash the gruff, 346 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: no nonsense attitude. This is in part due to the 347 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: choices helping you frame the detective's personality, your surroundings and 348 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: character interactions providing an opportunity to reflect yourself within the character, 349 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: even the little details such as whether you drink coffee 350 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: or tea? What about with the pastry? You always gotta 351 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: get it with a pastry, of course, I think I 352 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: did that. Yet you also get friendship points. You have 353 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: flirting points and friendship points, and I had a lot 354 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: of I am just friendly, so I had a lot 355 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: of friends points. I only had the friendship points really 356 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: with Nate. Yeah, oh, I had a bunch. I think 357 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: everybody but Adam, but even adn't laugh. Everybody else had 358 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: three or one, three or one, and then at Nate 359 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: I had six. I had a bunch of Nate too. 360 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: I had a bunch of Nate, but there were a 361 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities with him. I think to have those interactions. 362 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: Um and then Amanda wrote whether your detective is a 363 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: direct carbon copy of yourself with fulfillment or neither. It's 364 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: been a fun experiment trying the different personality combinations. It's 365 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: easy in many games to play as a snarky a 366 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: hole without any percussions or anyone taking notice. But I 367 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: love how in this game that dictates how the other 368 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: characters will address you and follow through in the later books. Okay, 369 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: my last point I will say about the series and 370 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: why I love it again focusing on how the story 371 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: draws you in with these elements and delivers are really 372 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: compelling at narrative that truly does change with each play through, 373 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: depending on how you equip your detective socially and with 374 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: different skills. With no spoilers, I have never had two 375 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: runs be the same and can make it feel like 376 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: a live action rom com or a thriller doomed romance, 377 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: all depending on these choices, and I think that's why, 378 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: even after four years, I'm still replaying and eagerly awaiting 379 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: the third book. Oh that's exciting, okay, because I thought 380 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: the third one was already out, So okay, Amanda, you're 381 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: making all these things just too exciting for us. Well, 382 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: and that's good to know, because like we said, we didn't. 383 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: I haven't played it twice. Samantha's and played it twice, 384 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: but I know now I'm like m but I am 385 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: such a I guess there is a slightly different It's 386 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: hard for me to be snarky. Oh I was. I know, 387 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: I have one percent. I was like, Samantha's going to 388 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: choose this one. Every time I would see a choice 389 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be forgiving and loving, and I'll be like, no, 390 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: thank you. It's kind of I'm kind of notoriously. I cannot, 391 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: like in mass effect, I can't be the renegade. I 392 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: have to be the parent. I can't do it. And 393 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: like BioShock, I cannot do you like take the energy 394 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: from the chill. I can't do it. Um. Even if 395 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: I'd get like a different ending or a slightly different thing, 396 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: I just can't do it. So it would be interesting 397 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: for me. There were certainly a lot of choices. I 398 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: was like this one or this one, um, And so 399 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure I could have a play through. I'm not 400 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: sure how different it would be. So I was more 401 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: stocky with the new new Bravo team and the mom 402 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: than I was with my co workers. I will say, yeah, 403 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: I want I'm cus. I think the thing I'm most 404 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: curious about is the last like the finale, I guess 405 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: because there was a lot in the kind of combat 406 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: section at the end where I was like I was, 407 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: I got really in my head about what would I 408 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: actually do? Um, So this this one was very much 409 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: met a reflection of me of what I would do. 410 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: This is me being about the Yeah, absolutely I'm a 411 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: badass and I'm not. Mine was very much like we 412 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: can't we all get a lot. Nope, that's interesting though, 413 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: So yours wasn't necessarily you like reflection of you. No, 414 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: it's what I want to be. Okay, okay, it's but 415 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's an interspersed you know, you can't really 416 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: because I couldn't absolutely be a jerk the entire time. 417 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Like so like with a mortician, I was very nice 418 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: and like the cside person was like in our very close, 419 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: the friend ex partner very close. Even the dude who 420 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: was the governor's whatever. I was still like, not wish 421 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: those buttons, but with like the team, if they pushed up, 422 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: gives me, I'm pushed back, Like that's kind of level. 423 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: The mom I was not as forgetting understanding but not okay, 424 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't totally separate it out. But 425 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: mine was certainly me trying to figure out what I 426 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: would actually do. So it could be fun to do 427 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: one where I'm just like, I wish this is the 428 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: seeing the differences that's the next run. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, 429 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: So Amanda continues first book rundown. Note. I chose my 430 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: romantic partner preference to only women, so the names below 431 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: will reflect the female variations for reference Eva Adam, Natalie 432 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: Nat slash Nate Morgan slash Mason Ferris slash Felix. Okay, 433 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 1: so if I say I'm hetero sexual, it would all 434 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: be men. Yeah, I guess. So. Oh that's interesting. Okay, 435 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: that's not as much fun. Yeah. I never do that version. 436 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna but that sounds so fun. Uh my first 437 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: play through back when the first book released back in 438 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: shout out to the recap feature in the second book 439 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: for reminding me how it went, and apparently I loved 440 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: it so much I made an immediate second one. So yes, 441 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: when you start the second one, it's like, do you 442 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: want to recap? How much details do you want? Um? 443 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: You can also import your game from the first one, 444 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: which is what we did. Amanda continues. My detective personality 445 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: the first time pretty much reflected my own at the time, 446 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: so if it's serious a little snarky and all about 447 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: getting the job done. I followed the rules, including throwing 448 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: away my precious coffee and pastry, and got along most 449 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: with Tina. I didn't let Douglas, who's the mirror son 450 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: who's also an intern, do whatever he wanted, and tried 451 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: to make him actually work to no avail. I had 452 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: a good but reserved relationship with my mother, respecting her 453 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: but slightly resenting her for being away much of the time. 454 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: And of course I had Bobby be an ex lover 455 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: from college because a snoopy reporter X and a vampire 456 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: love story is perfect for drama, agreed. And then Amanda 457 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: runs through major choices. One of them Uh okay, so yes, 458 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: I know we've already spoiled it, but at this point 459 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: get out now. If you were like I really don't 460 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: want any more spoilers, well yours is also going to 461 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: be different, so reminder of that. And you and your choices. 462 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: You don't know what your choices. But to be fair, 463 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: so for me, as we said, uh, Douglas, he him, 464 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: and my relationship was I ignored him, essentially, let him 465 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: do what he wanted to and did my own thing. Um, 466 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: not worrying about him. For me, Tina and I were close, 467 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: very close. Bobby and I were just acquaintances because I 468 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: wanted nothing to do with him. He just sounded like 469 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: a douche from the job, but I'm like, nope. And 470 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: for Rebecca the Mother, we weren't very close in relationship, 471 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: but I understood her absence, but she still arms length away. Yeah, Douglas, 472 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: I tried to get him to do work as well, 473 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: but I also was kind of like I felt like 474 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: my hands were tired because he was the marrison. But 475 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: I did try to get him to do work. Tina 476 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: and I were really close, and there's a scene where 477 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: you like go out to the bar together and we 478 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: had a grand old time. Not too much of a 479 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: grand old time, but a grand old time. Uh. For Bobby, 480 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: it says past relationship, acquaintance a reporter with bad morals. 481 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: For Rebecca the Mom, past relationship, very close relationship, even 482 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: with the absences. I knew it. Yeah. It was always 483 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: like do you reach out or and every other choice 484 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: was like ignore her or like acknowledged. But I was 485 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: always like, who are reaching you? We can do this, um. 486 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: But I knew that was going to be a big 487 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: I was like, so I can choose how this relationship 488 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: is gonna look. Okay, okay, uh so major choices that 489 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 1: Amanda runs through shoot ava first play through, I Pepper sprayed, 490 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: and that has been a theme throughout unless I decide 491 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: to let them go. I so this is early in 492 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: the on in the game, you kind of you run 493 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: into the vampires. You don't realize their vampires. I did 494 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: not shoot. Um. I think I was trying to be like, 495 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk this out. Oh, Pepper sprayed Adam real hard. 496 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I think I was like talking to them immediately, no question. Um. 497 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: And then Amanda rights reason for joining way Haven p 498 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: D best job to use scientific skills, want to help people, 499 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: pretty consistent throughout. I'm a cybersecurity professional in real life 500 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: and even consider joining the FBI early in my career, 501 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: so this choice has always been fairly easy. Skills wise, 502 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: I tended to focus on technical and people skills, basic 503 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: detective things. The three of us have something uncommon. You 504 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: wanted to be, uh. I wanted to be a diplomat 505 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: slash CI agent. So yeah, and then she she does 506 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: this and I was a state agency worked with the facts, 507 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: what with deparmajudical justice. I want to help people a 508 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: little different this obersecurity. But for a while I was 509 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: looking to do a job with gb I specifically working 510 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: with children. But yeah, absolutely on that same route. But 511 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: mine was there was no technological stuff. It was all 512 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: like people mm hmmm. I I believe because they asked 513 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: you kind of early on how did you become detective? 514 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: And I think because there was one choice that was like, 515 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: essentially you just had to do it because the last 516 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: person retired. I think I said something along the lines 517 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: of like I wanted to do it, but I don't 518 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: feel great about how I got it. I remember mine 519 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: was because I wanted to help you. I yeah. And 520 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: that was pretty much throughout when it would be like 521 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: why are you doing this? I consistently would say, we 522 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: need to help people of this town. We have to 523 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: prevent something like this happening, always kind of focusing in 524 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: on the town's people. My professional information, my people skills 525 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: is the highest seventy combat is zero percent, um science 526 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: technology deduction last knowledge seven percent, and then by the 527 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: book been the rules. Okay, yeah, because my people's skills 528 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: with sixty eight percent, my compast skills were my science 529 00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: technology was nine deduction and by the book fifty been 530 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: the rules. I was pretty even on that. I feel 531 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: like you had a you were overall better. I feel 532 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: like skills wise, I was no because my science and 533 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: technology would were all the way down. I felt I 534 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: get challenged to by the way. I'm like I needed 535 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: I needed up it right right right right. Well, we'll see, 536 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Um. And then Amanda continues went 537 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: out or stayed in, stayed in the office. As a 538 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: chronic of a worker, this made so much sense for 539 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: me to do, especially the first play through. Though I'm 540 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: not going to lie, the going out scene is so 541 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: much fun. I've worked on getting a better work life balance, 542 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: so later games I tend to go out, especially with 543 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: romancing Morgan for the fun interactions. Now I'm curious, I 544 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: did a little bit of both. I think I definitely 545 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: went out with Tina a few times. Uh, Nate and 546 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: I went out did our thing a couple of times. 547 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: That's all I got. I don't think I ever went 548 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: out with Nate other than a work thing, but I 549 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: went out with Tina and then they all showed up right. Um, 550 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: And I know there's that part with Tina asked you out. 551 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: You have to like pretty much directly asking you are 552 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: you going to be somebody who stays in or do 553 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: you go out sometimes? Oh? Yeah, yeah. And Tina even asked, like, 554 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: you know about romance and you can say I have 555 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 1: no time for romance, um, which I didn't. I think 556 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: I said the same thing. I think I said, like, 557 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: it's not a prior. Essentially, it's not a priority for 558 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: me right now, so I need to know. Because they 559 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: described the home, what kind of home did you pick? 560 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: I think I did. It was like cozy, clutter, clutter. 561 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: In the end, I was like, well damn it. Yeah, 562 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: and then like the whole team Bravo unit Bravo comes 563 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: over and they're looking at your apartment. I remember feeling 564 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: kind of like embarrassed, even though it's not a really 565 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: harm it's not real, but yeah, I was also embarrassed 566 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: because the options are like cheek or minimal or industrial 567 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: or cozy, and was of course I want to do cozy. 568 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I didn't mean grandma cozy. What 569 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: does cozy mean to you? What's happening? Enough? Blake is 570 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: around so that everyone can have one if they desire. Yes, 571 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: it's in a comfortable place to sit. Yes, I agree, 572 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: I agree, but that is certainly my apartment is what 573 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: I chose the closest thing to my apartment. And then 574 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: Amanda writes a reaction to vampire revelation, accepting pretty much 575 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: always choose this, especially after everything that goes down the story. 576 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: So this is like when you find out all there's 577 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: supernatural bigs, their vampires, how do you react? I think 578 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: I did the like what but okay with it? Eventually, Yeah, 579 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: me too. I think I did the okay and then 580 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: moved on. I'm like, I'm gonna need time to process. Yeah. 581 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't think I was ever like oh I hate this, 582 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: I hate all of you. And I was just sort 583 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: of like, this is a lot, all right, well let's 584 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: keep working. Then we got things they do exactly. Uh. 585 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: And then Amanda writs agreed to agency blood test. Yes, 586 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: this one changes all the time as the story goes on. 587 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,439 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a right answer, but I'm sure 588 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: it will come back down the road. I agreed to 589 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: do it too, But I was very like that when 590 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: I got stuck on for a long time. But I thought, 591 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: like story wise, life, I would want to know what's 592 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,959 Speaker 1: wrong with me or what is happening? Immediately I would 593 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: be yes, mm hmm, that's a real life decision. I 594 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: was very, very torn, which is also me and my life. 595 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: I was like, but now they'll have my blood, Like 596 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: I was back and forth, back and forth, but I 597 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: did eventually I was like, Okay, I want to I 598 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: want to know and see what happens in the story. 599 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: And then Amanda writes romance Ava this was such a 600 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: difficult one, and I debated between her and Natalie for 601 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: a way too long. My second game. I actually ended 602 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: up romancing Natalie, and I found that I rarely romance 603 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: even now because the slow burning, hot and cold of 604 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: her personality has been not my cup of tea as 605 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: I have grown older. So Eva being Adam in our case, 606 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's the thing, is like, I want 607 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: to go back in romance, everybody, this is what's gonna 608 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: happen to me. Um that we're having real time revelation 609 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: that we're talking about my future. Thank you, Amanda. No, yeah, 610 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: I absolutely felt the same way. In like, I think 611 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: I was stick to Adam when it comes to like 612 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: romance novels. I'd like the build up of the fighting 613 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: through Also because I'm just a stubborn in real life. 614 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: But also it makes me there's something to just goating 615 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: a little bit in a good way, not mean mean um, 616 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, Nate was my character. I try to flirt 617 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: with him, but in the beaning we're just friends. Yeah, yeah, 618 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean he was a nice guy in a in 619 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: a nonlike internet meanway. You're actually nice guy. Um, at 620 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: least it seems. Who knows what happens later? I do. 621 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: I do love a good slow Burn. Um. I think 622 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 1: part of that is because I often catch myself reading 623 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: slow Burn fan fiction and I'm not in it for 624 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: the romance, but there's something kind of funny about it 625 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: to me where they neither of them realize that. I'm like, yeah, 626 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: you fools, UM, so that could be fun. And you know, 627 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: I'll see how this traangle plays out, maybe it will 628 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: be really interesting. But I did, You're right, you you 629 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: had it. You hit it on the head. I wanted 630 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: to be a fair so I guess I'll have to 631 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: go back. But I wanted to be with Morgan two. 632 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: Yeah you did. You try to tell me both and 633 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, but Fair I seemed to be 634 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: the one that would have gotten you yeah, yeah, I agreed, agreed, 635 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: and then Amanda continues Murphy bite the detective so dejective 636 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: being you um yes on the neck. First play through, 637 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: I was livid about this. I thought I had done 638 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: everything right, but it was one mistake in not trusting 639 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: my skills. I've had a few variations to this, and 640 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: some where there is no bite. I definitely got but 641 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: so I got me. I was mad too. It's like, no, 642 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: I am it was an overall like it has to 643 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 1: happen so we can play through it. But okay, apparently not. 644 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Now I want to know what choice? Where 645 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: did I go wrong? Don't happen to play back? Thanks 646 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: a lot of thanks a lot, Amanda, And then finally 647 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: Murphy's fate Amanda rights captured. Not gonna lie. I'm not 648 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: entirely sure how I managed this on my first play through, 649 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: but must have been ecstatic. Actually, after suffering a bite, 650 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: I feel like most of the other games I have done, 651 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: wind up with him running away. Oh I didn't know 652 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: he could. I assumed it wasn't automatic because yeah, I 653 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 1: captured him too. Did you sacrifice yourself? Yeah? Yeah, Well, 654 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: and the thing the choice I think I did incorrectly, 655 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: but I'm I don't regret it because it's totally true. 656 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: It was. There was like one where she the detective, 657 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: had the option of like healing herself and then because 658 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: she was pretty injured in my case, and then going 659 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 1: in and I ignored the healing and I was like, no, 660 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: we're going in, Like yeah, but I'm pretty sure I 661 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: should have taken that moment, but yeah, I captured him. Uh. 662 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: And then it sounds like we're going to be working together, 663 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: the detective and Unit Bramo in future projects because now 664 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: you're the detective is like a supernatural beacon and everybody 665 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 1: wants a piece of Well that's the thing. So yeah, 666 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: because you know, as the future. I'm like, oh, it 667 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: just abruptly ended what happened, realizing it is a three partner. 668 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: But I was like, I assumed it was still like 669 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: wrap up a little bit, and it kind of really didn't. 670 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: So I like, all right, what do I do with this? 671 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: But before we go there, I do want to know 672 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: because there's a part where you can get your personal information, 673 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: so I needed to know what your personality was because 674 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting for Kira Kingston. For Kira 675 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: Kingston alright. Personality sixty six percent charming, thirty four percent intimidating, 676 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent impulsive, cautious, sarcastic, fifty seven percent genuine, friendly, 677 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: sixty two stock, thirty eight percent easy going sixty two 678 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: percent stubborn percent heart, seventy percent mind percent optimist sixty 679 00:39:52,880 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: seven percent pessimist, team player independent. Oh wow, that sarcastic 680 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: went through me. So my personality chap for Carolynn was charming, 681 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: intimidating because I'm not going back down impulsive percent while 682 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:24,959 Speaker 1: being cautious at sarcastic, while being in genuine best. When 683 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: I was like, what friendly, I was forty percent friendly, 684 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: fifty percent stock, and then I was forty percent easy going, stubborn, 685 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: which feels about right, and the traits I'm eighty two 686 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: percent heart percent mine, So okay, thanks, I'm optimists being 687 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: the pessimist, and then fifty percent team player independent. Wow, 688 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: there are some surprises in there. Yeah, no, you're sarcastic. 689 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: Was a little surprising. I'm not gonna lie. Um, I 690 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 1: it was fun. I was like building it up. I 691 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: was trying to be stoic because I am an observer. 692 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: That is something I've always been told like, I will 693 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: not react intelity what the environment is doing. So therefore 694 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: i probably would be seen as a stoic because I'm 695 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: not gonna, especially in new situations, I'm not going to react. 696 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to try to figure out what's happening before 697 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: I react and then go for it. And I'm gonna 698 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: be reading as many people as possible. So that could 699 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: be a little more personality. But I'm sarcastic as hell, 700 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: so that's quite funny. I think for me, I'm also 701 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: an observer, but I also and very uh. Once I 702 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: get to know somebody than my personality really adapts to 703 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: what they do. So I think I was not sarcastic 704 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: at all at the beginning, but then I was like, oh, Morgan, 705 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 1: seems like she appreciates sarcasm, maybe Adam, so I sort 706 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:55,959 Speaker 1: of adapted based on their personality something I don't I think. 707 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm oh, yeah, I was sarcastic with her, but I 708 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: was much more like bound with sarcasm and genuineness with her. 709 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: But so, I mean that is accurate. I think I've 710 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: kind of adapted since you have multiple characters in there 711 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 1: that appreciate sarcasm, that's where that came from I think 712 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,479 Speaker 1: overall you were more balanced than me, but that you're 713 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 1: versus mine was a bit shocking because I was like, 714 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: quit being mean to these people. I would be mean 715 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: to the victim's mother, that's so ridiculous, Like it didn't 716 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,720 Speaker 1: make sense. But would I be mean to Tina who 717 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: fills a connection to this family? No, I'm not going 718 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: to be mean to these people. What's wrong with you? 719 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? And then I feel like 720 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: looking through my because you can also look at your 721 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: relationship stats with the team. Yeah, I actually like it 722 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 1: was way more friendly with everybody and flirting was much less. 723 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, so who are you? Who are you most 724 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: friendly with? Nate? But Farah was very close, Nate and 725 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: Fara very close. So they give you points. Who was 726 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: the flirt one? The biggest flirt I had was Nates Um. 727 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: I had six flirting points with him and ten friends 728 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: points with him. Okay, oh wow, so yeah, for Adam 729 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: I had six flirting points, four friends. Nate I had 730 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 1: one flirting point, seven friends. For Farah I had zero 731 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: flirting points and three friends. And from Morgan I had 732 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: zero flirting points and two friends. Oh Man, Morgan and 733 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: I had the least good relationship. I was flirting all about, 734 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 1: I was friends friending all about. All of mine are 735 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: like higher than that. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I needn't 736 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:55,720 Speaker 1: do it more, which is actually fair. Nah. No, um, well, 737 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: next play through, we'll revisit.

Um, and 742 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: they're going to find out.
