The fact that they say Maya and not "Mayan" warms my heart. They've obviously invested proper research! 😊

[@dopaminedreams1122]

Language differences are a pretty accepted thing in every Language other than English lmao, like in most European languages it would certainly translate as Mayan yet no one ever complains because that’s how languages work, it’s only in the uptight Anglo sphere do we have people demanding they only use 100% native language processes in naming of places and cultures, that is wild because no one else does it

[@NiaJustNia]

@@dopaminedreams1122 It's more that they know mayan isn't correct. In quite a few languages it's "the Maya" not mayan, with mayan being a near exclusively english name, and the ones that also use mayan over Maya are the ones who got the term from English in the first place. If you know you're addressing someone incorrectly, you don't keeping doing it even after you know it's wrong, unless you're intentionally being rude.

I weirdly love the pacing of this game, just living your life, doing your job, when suddenly, something unexpected happens, forcing you to put your detective cap on to solve the mystery

[@genericusername702]

I agree, I kind of enjoy the lead up before the bigger mystery starts. It makes it feel more grounded and natural and I wish they had done something similar in other games. Shadow ranch also gave me similar feelings

@@haydennault5342 The last one I read was "Secret of Shadow Ranch" book 5 of the original series. That is the first one with Bess and George. I have picked-up the next 5 books, but I took a break to catch up on a few other things.

@@haydennault5342 I do not know how far I will go and I did not know about the Pen Name until I did some research. When I was a kid I read a few Hardy Boys books, but did not start at the begining. I may try a few books from the more recent series. So far I have enjoyed the original series. Even though they are from the 1930s, when times were very different for women, it is nice to see such a strong female protagonist. She does get out of some situations too easily in the first couple of books, but by book 4, people are actively trying to kill her. I think she is a great role model for young girls and boys.

This Nancy Drew game was so much fun on stream! I didn't expect it to go up on KZbin so quickly! Skipping ahead a little (since I only just finished this stream recently) One thing that I appreciate the most about this game is at around 1:29:10 when talking about stolen artwork. It's so true. Majority of the artifacts and art we see in museums were stolen / illegally traded and it makes me so sad. I am glad this game is teaching kids (and hell even adults) about the truth of a lot of museums. I won't spoil the end since this will be in two parts, but this Nancy Drew was quite the adventure. Also these edits? *chefs kiss* Always happy to see Nancy on my sub page.

[@xime321]

Actually, what he calls a "cognitive memory" is actually semantic memory. Sensory memory would depend on if it brings up personal memories or more factual memories. If it brings back personal memories, it would be episodic memory. The things the nurse talks about are not really a thing.

Unfortunately the Spanish commit genocide against the natives of that time. So you're right 2012 is only as far as they were *able* to get before they were nearly wiped out. They also brought old world diseases which the Aztecs had no built up immunity to. I hate to be a bummer but its a piece of history that's often greatly watered down and since you brought up the Aztec calendar ending in 2012 i figured i should help clarify the reason why

Always love a new Nancy Drew video! Very happy and surprised there's one about Mayans and Guatemala specifically! I'm really curious now how much the knowledge has changed since this game was made as there's always new things to learn and debunk, especially of Latin American cultures. I do want to state though, that the Mayans didn't believe the world was ending. Like a few other cultures, they believed in a cyclical calendar, so once you got to the end of the Mayan calendar, it just went to the next cycle. It was simply a misinterpretation that then got popularized as it seemed more dramatic to have it seem like the Mayan's thought the world would end. Thank you for playing and posting!

Just gonna throw this out there, but I LOVE that you said it reminds you of "El Dorado" because yes! Many aspects of that movie were inspired from Mayan and Aztec culture. In fact, the ball game that is referred to in the exhibit is the one they play in the movie. Even cooler, that is the game the ancient cultures ACTUALLY PLAYED (minus the cute armadillo)!! I studied Ancient Andean Art History in university, and I adored this time period. I even got the privilege of visiting my State's museum where there is a private collection of Ancient Andean artifacts. I got to choose a handful of items to research and present to museum visitors in a psuedo-pop-up exhibition. Quite exciting, seeing as otherwise the items would have never been shown to the public. Seeing aspects of it played out in the game makes me so excited, and I feel like I could probably write out an essay in the comments about all of the amazing aspects of Ancient Andean culture.

The day before you started streaming this, I decided to replay it because I figured it had been a while since the last Nancy stream and I knew this one would be next. And then I slept in and only caught the last 15 minutes of the stream, lol. My husband grew up in the area where this game takes place so his mom got this game for the family when it was somewhat new. They never finished it because they got stuck, I think on the quiz questions. A task list and more easily accessible journal probably would've been *very* helpful for them. I wish the phone stuff was more user-friendly, too. Nancy doesn't write down the numbers for you (except on her laptop), it isn't clear that you can only do work calls in the museum, and the whole "dial 1 before the area code if the area code isn't a local one" thing is weird. The plaques of Beeeeeech Hill donors are mostly just made up names, I think. Frou Frou LaBeu and Stimey McGruff certainly seem made up, anyway. But there's also someone whose last name is Falcone (Nicholas's family?) and Punchy LaRue, which is one of the voice actresses for Bess and also a name Nancy uses in a future game, hehe. I never figured out the Pascal's Triangle thing. When I play Bul, I just make the computer pass if it's getting close to me and hope for the best. The "semper ubi sub ubi" thing Joanna says is Latin for "always wear underwear." Loulou also says that sometimes (or at least once when you ask her if she knows Latin) in Blackmoor Manor. A little tip in case anyone plays this on their own: you can skip a few seconds of cutscene if you click while you're on the metro. Zoom around the DC area with even more unrealistic speed! :D And like the laptop maze in Haunted Mansion, you can hit M on your keyboard to make a map show up when doing the maze in the second area of the temple.
