It wouldn't necessarily need to be an escort mission in order to feel like she's a part of the game though. There's nothing Elizabeth does that isn't either entirely predictable or something the player tells her to do; there should have been some friction to make her feel like she existed in the world and wasn't just a ghost, basically.

Thanks for reading!!

This is the one thing I really liked, but I think also ties in to your later point about being a game for games reviewers. I remember bad companions being a major complaint-du-juor. I remember playing some of those games up until the point an annoying companion appears, and then not playing those games any more.

Making companions both a meaningful presence and also non-annoying is sort of an unsolvable problem in action games, Lol. Like they're either a Major consideration or they're just not there. I think there's a reason we haven't seen much like Elizabeth again, she was a ton of work and the result is sort of creepy feeling.

In general I'm okay with a companion feeling annoying because I'm annoyed by companions in real life all the time. Something would feel wrong if they didn't get on my nerves, Lol

This is good but it's very funny that when watching stuff on their website on a phone the screen dims if you don't interact with it

What kind of agreement do you have with these women? Did they sign a lease? Like what did they do really?

I have no idea if this is an interpersonal issue or a legal one so I can't like, absolve you or give you advice. I do want to say that eviction is a huge step no matter who is involved. Like I get that involving the police with black women is different than with white people but it sucks to be evicted either way!

You do deserve to feel safe in your home and yeah eviction might be in the cards, but evictions are hard to get for a lot of very good reasons. You don't want to rely on that to be safe. Do you have friends that can help? If you don't trust them around your dog, can they take in your dog for a bit? Like there's so many steps before eviction that you may not need to jump through yet.

In any case, good luck!

That desk does look like it owns. My desk is a $300 worktable from home depot. It's super solid, has casters which are more useful than you'd think. It can be made into a standing desk but I don't ever do that (requires MANY turns) however being able to quickly adjust the sitting desk height is nice. Zero issues clamping a monitor arm to it, would not trust an ikea desk in the same situation.
