imagine you start a new job and on DAY TWO, one of your coworkers gets pushed down the stairs and gets FULL FUCKING RETROGRADE AMNESIA and THEN the nurse calls and says “hey we can’t reach any of his friends and family. Will you be the person who helps him get his memories back? Thanksss” honestly I’d just quit

Point 1: It's an internship,her ass was NOT even being paid. Point 2: Yeah but he's a 60 year old man who made 78,000 dollars a year (in 2024) with cheekbones. When is this opportunity going to happen again?

[thebeastofblackmoor]

Ok imagine you’re a lesbian and this happens

[glassxrose]

Way ahead of you, bestie:

So just trust me!! Henrik Van Der Hune for LESBIANS!!!

I <3 these puzzles!!! best, best puzzles!!!

So I have always been obsessed with the food of Nancy Drew and when I was in hospital/ bedridden I took it upon myself to collate as many of the food items (just stuff you could actually make i.e. no oranges or loquats) as I could find in all of the games. Recently was tidying up my computer and found my list!

"Where's the bus, city transit?" The bus, literally on the fucking moon: "I'm five minutes away bro, trust me."

Imagine you’re at a pool party and I call you, international, from a pay phone, seven or eight times over the course of the afternoon to tell you things like “my car keys are missing” and “I just sheared a sheep”

Did you know there’s a “sequel” book to Creature of Kapu Cave? A user on Reddit is currently reading it.

“The Nancy Drew graphic novel that's a sequel to The Creature of Kapu Cave

About a month ago, I posted a thread asking if any of the Nancy Drew books contained references to the games. Didn't receive much of a response, but as it turns out, the eighth Nancy Drew Girl Detective graphic novel included Dr. Malachi Craven from CRE as one of the suspects, with Nancy making several references to the events of the game. The culprit in the book even dresses up as Kane Okala at one point (referred to as Okala Kane instead)! I can't believe I never knew about this before (but then I never really got into this particular series). This should be talked about more!”

[suki-tate]

Does anybody actually enjoy SPY? I find it so hard to believe. I know it's loved for the "what happened to Nancy's mom" aspect but it just feels so poorly written I can't get into it at all. Nothing makes sense with the actual plot. Am I missing something???

I mean, first and foremost I don't understand why an American journalist was even writing in Scotland at all. And it just gets more convoluted from there :/

omg I just remembered that before @i-shouldnt-steal and I played TRT, which we mostly consider our first ND game, we actually had SHA but quickly got stuck and never finished it because we were so young.

in fact, I was so young that I didn’t care about the plot or the mystery or the horse or the puzzles or anything but this particular arrowhead

I was just obsessed with it. It was so pretty to tiny me. I would be like “Anna make your cursor the pretty arrowhead” and “Anna go see if we can find another pretty arrowhead in the shed” and “Anna don’t turn in the pretty arrowhead we have to keep it for us.”

Pretty arrowhead, I’m sorry I forgot about my infatuation with you. I love you, pretty arrowhead.

[i-shouldnt-steal]

To me SHA was basically just the roadrunner/coyote game. I just remember playing that endlessly while ignoring the rest of the game because we were stuck.
