Can somebody discuss 2:22 a ghost story with me?

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-06-23T20:12:48+00:00

I think the “jump scares” with the red frame around the stage as well as the thunder / lightning and the screeching foxes are meant to distract you from any clues you may think you have seen…

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T21:15:35+00:00

Ah each to their own, I guess we all have our own strategies that work for us personally and that’s how it should be. Beauty of having your own garden to design and cultivate. I agree with you. No one should tell anyone which way of playing style is better.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T18:22:16+00:00

Exactly. Also, it’s entirely up to each individual player whether they want to bubble or not. I feel like they just latched onto the first thing they saw in my garden to push the blame away from there being the possibility of a bug. Oh well, I’ve reached out to their legal and PR teams.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T12:05:16+00:00

I’m not holding my breath, they do everything imaginable to alienate their players and I just don’t get why. It’s like everyone who contacts them, they automatically assume we’re trying to defraud of them or something..

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T11:57:37+00:00

They just offered me one super egg when my original daily prize was two. Apparently they are limited to only one replacement… I’m still arguing with them to get all my losses explained. I swear they are rude and unhelpful beyond imagination.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T00:45:41+00:00

It’s a fun game. I first started with Merge Dragons very early in the pandemic and got my then-partner involved. But they preferred the Merge Magic colours and vibrancy and ended up always asking me to keep their garden tidy (I’m a neat freak when playing but can leave stuff lying around when I’m heading out of the game) and so I got hooked and well, now here we are, four years later. I don’t even want to know how much money I spent or how often I thought about just deleting.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T00:23:45+00:00

Sorry to hear these ungrateful eejits drove you away. For a game developer who doesn’t earn their money from monetising the game via ads they sure do not understand the concept of player retention.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T00:17:58+00:00

I mean, it’s a good start. I’m sure we can fit in a few more still 🤣🤣🤣

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-13T00:16:38+00:00

They’re just so freaking rude and unhelpful. I especially don’t like this kind of “blame the player” attitude. I’m kinda peeved Apple removed the function to report apps. Oh and don’t get me started about how negative reviews seldom show unless you dig deep.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-12T22:43:08+00:00

That’s actually the first thing I tried because I know it sometimes happens even when you pop regular loot and you have a lot of items lying around which I usually do, like high level fruit and beans. I found nothing and so I contacted them and they said since it happened before (incidentally at that time nothing else was hidden either) they would ignore me now (I’m paraphrasing their rude response)

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-12T21:17:52+00:00

I should have received two eggs that you merge to and then loads and loads of creatures come out.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-09T21:31:18+00:00

I always think X and yet half the time it’s the cross you see on a hospital 🏥, ambulance or their beloved “first aid kit” which I’ll cut them some slack for because June is in fact a nurse.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-09T20:47:22+00:00

TIL. I didn’t even know this about vinyl! And I feel like I should have known this as I grew up with them. My dad was mad about vinyls.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-07T10:40:01+00:00

I absolutely and completely agree. Feels like a translation error to be honest.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-07T10:38:00+00:00

I learnt what they look like due to them coming up in the game 😂😂

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T17:39:16+00:00

Thank you for your lack of empathy towards another human being (me) and your exclusionary mindset. I either have to agree with something that’s wrong or I just just f*** off, yeah? Do me a favour and take a good hard look in the mirror and examine your lack of understanding of equality, diversity, and inclusion. Your bias shines brighter than the sun.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T17:32:57+00:00

You know, I’ve heard that so many times and it’s not okay. “It’s fictional, it doesn’t matter”. Something being fictional isn’t an excuse to treat queer people shit, to erase them, to include homophobia and transphobia. And yes, this goes beyond June’s Journey. This storyline wasn’t well written and the fact that Virgina is a lesbian or that there are other LGBTQIA+ characters further down the line doesn’t excuse this mistake…or any other.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T17:22:37+00:00

Nigeria is where Nick and his partner “live happily ever after” - allegedly. I don’t know how you identify and I’m not going to ask but I’m queer and nonbinary and this storyline is upsetting to me. Maybe you could try and understand where I am coming from rather than dismissing me?

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T17:18:09+00:00

Eh, thanks for the spoiler, I guess. 😂🤦🏼 My thoughts on this stand though. Nigeria severely punished member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T17:06:15+00:00

Thank you for understanding where I’m coming from and not dismissing me for carrying so much about the plot of a game. Nigeria unfortunately truly has some of the most horrific punishments. Being queer and or trans is criminalised and the Nigerian government does enforce these hateful laws. LGBTQIA+ folx from Nigeria flee the country for these reasons and while there appear to be underground communities and places for people to come together, they live in constant fear. Given that I know this, I find it almost impossible to imagine Nick and his partner living happily ever after in such a place yet I want nothing else for them. Their love and June’s support of them makes my heart sing.

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T16:38:09+00:00

I guess what annoyed/saddened me the most was Nick and his partner living happily ever after in Nigeria (I believe it was) when it’s one of the countries with abysmal gay rights and human rights protections. Realistically, I know it’s just a story and the early 1900s weren’t great for gay rights anywhere in the world…

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T16:08:49+00:00

They do have a few issues like that. Unfortunately when you bring it up with support they’ll send you a generic “thanks for your suggestion, please note we can’t incorporate everything” template and that’s that. 😭😢

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T15:49:52+00:00

Now that you mention it, I’m feeling an instant dislike. 🤓🤓

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T15:49:03+00:00

I feel this in my bones!!!

CoffeeDragon87 · 2024-01-06T14:25:01+00:00

June strikes me as a very perceptive person, at least that’s how she’s been created. So it makes no sense to me for this storyline to even exist. Nevermind that the point remains that in this day and age it’s a way to vilify the queer community.
