Love the bureaucratic red tape that the "no anomaly found" message implies exists in this world. I just imagine some guy in a suit with a clip board walking into a room that has a very obvious corpse in the centre him going like "Well the form says light anomaly... So everything is fine here" and just leaving cause he doesn't have any of the permits required to acknowledge the body.

[@Howuf]

"Comment of the year" nominee.

[@N8Dawgg314]

@@UbersEnhancedGaming I felt she took the feel of the show WAY back to the Barry era. I think having things outside of the game helps ground them and feels more like guys hanging out rather than voices and a game in a vacuum. Kind of like how especially in the Jon era they'd be moving around the room, the cats would come interrupt once in awhile, and having a third person who isn't an active part of the show just adds another kind of "random" element. You didn't always know what kind of comments/visual gags Barry would add and you didn't know when Allie would suddenly pipe up. Not to get too pretentious but I almost feel like it was those less polished elements that added depth to the experience. Like how wine snobs like that each year has a different taste from different conditions even if everything else is pretty consistent.

[@abbylarkspur]

Pro tip: jiggling eyes is a real condition called nystagmus! Your eyes can't stay steady causing blindness. It is often comorbid with albinism which is why some albino people are blind. It can also occur with no comorbidities! I know someone with this blindness. Most people who are legally blind have some vision remaining which is why it's so valuable to use alt text for images! It can help blind people contextualize what they CAN see.
