#良心建議從第3集開始聽，中間幾集因為確診後遺症很多痰音。
臉書、IG閒人「時尚編輯的真心話」說要做podcast說了兩年終於履行承諾，顧名思義就是如果大家無聊的話可以聽，節目裡有些「無聊的話」偶爾可能也是有一些參考價值的，吧，嗎？

In the realm of spooky video games, Poppy Playtime stands out with its blend of puzzles, exploration, and jump-scare frights. Developed by Mob Entertainment, this episodic adventure takes players on a chilling journey through the abandoned Playtime Co. toy factory.
The story unfolds ten years after the factory's entire staff vanished under mysterious circumstances. You, a former employee, return to the desolate factory, determined to unearth the truth behind the disappearances and escape with your life. But the once playful factory now harbors monstrous toys, each with a sinister agenda.
Armed with the GrabPack, a multi-functional backpack tool, you navigate through decaying corridors and solve intricate puzzles. This unique tool allows you to grab objects from afar, manipulate machinery, and even fend off the nightmarish creatures that lurk within the shadows.
Among these twisted toys is the infamous Huggy Wuggy, a towering blue monstrosity with a disturbingly enthusiastic disposition and razor-sharp teeth. He serves as the primary antagonist in the first chapter, but be warned, other equally unsettling characters await in the subsequent chapters, including the long-limbed Mommy Long Legs.
While a seemingly helpful red poppy doll named Poppy guides you through the factory, her true intentions remain shrouded in mystery, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.
Poppy Playtime has captivated a large and dedicated fanbase, particularly young audiences, with its creepy atmosphere, inventive puzzles, and an engrossing story. However, the game's use of jump scares and potentially disturbing imagery has sparked some controversy, making it unsuitable for younger children.
Origins and Development
Poppy Playtime was developed by the three-person studio Mob Games, founded in 2020 by game designers Zain Šljivo, Tyler McMinn, and Nicholas Walton. The team successfully pitched the concept of an episodic horror puzzle game set in an abandoned toy factory on Kickstarter. They raised over $100,000 to fund initial development and release the first chapter in October 2021.
The developers cited childhood favorites like Toy Story as inspiration but aimed to put a sinister twist on living toys coming to life. They also took cues from terrifying game classics like Five Nights at Freddy's in designing the atmosphere and monstrous characters. The result was a unique blend of lighthearted nostalgia turned frightening through mature horror elements.
After the runaway success of Chapter 1, Mob Games continued expanding the story and factory map with two additional chapters in 2022. These new episodes introduced expanded areas to explore, challenging new puzzles, and even more disturbing toy adversaries. Given the game's popularity, the studio aims to develop at least 8 total chapters to fully flesh out the mystery narrative.
Thanks to a compelling concept and quality execution, Poppy Playtime gained viral fame even before its release. The pre-release trailers alone generated substantial online buzz within horror gaming circles. This grassroots momentum established a built-in audience eagerly awaiting its launch.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Poppy Playtime gameplay balances eerie exploration and atmosphere with challenging puzzles. Key mechanics include:
- The GrabPack - This multi-tool backpack enables grabbing objects remotely to solve puzzles and for self-defense.
- Environmental Puzzles - Players must unlock doors, restore power, and activate machinery to proceed through the factory.
- Item Hunting - Finding tools, electronics, and collectibles is essential for solving puzzles and gaining story clues.
- Stealth Sequences - Evading violent toys like Huggy Wuggy creates tense, heart-pounding suspense.
- VHS Tapes - Discovering recordings fills in the factory's mysterious backstory and fate.
Immersive Setting
The richly detailed toy factory environment crafts an immersive, melancholic atmosphere tinged with horror. The decaying industrial playground conveys a creepy contrast between childhood joy and trauma. Sinister touches like damage, graffiti, and screams enhance the environmental storytelling. This unsettling, maze-like setting fuels tension and curiosity.
Toy Character Designs
The terrifying living toy characters represent a highlight of Poppy Playtime's appeal. Their designs blend nostalgic charm with imaginative horror elements.
Huggy Wuggy parodies lovable teddy bears but with disturbing features that toy with players' emotions. Mommy Long Legs leverages uncanny spider-like movement and makeup. Kissy Wissy's cute mermaid look hides a revolting sucker-mouth. As the cheerful narrator, Poppy provides guidance with an aura of mystery and manipulation.
These memorable toys showcase how Poppy Playtime merges playtime and horror through expert character design.
Impact on Horror Gaming
Poppy Playtime entered the horror game scene at an opportune time following the pandemic, capitalizing on renewed interest in the genre. Its viral online fame has sparked a resurgence of horror puzzle games using similar digital marketing strategies.
Like predecessors in the genre, Poppy Playtime demonstrates the lucrative appeal of horror IP and episodic distribution models catered towards internet fandoms. While divisive with some critics, its cultural impact on gaming is substantial. Poppy Playtime has cemented itself as a new horror gaming icon.
Ongoing Controversy
However, Poppy Playtime has attracted controversy over its suitability for minors given its PG-13 rating but young fanbase. Frightening characters like Huggy Wuggy have worried parents. IP disputes also led to the removal of Chapter 2 from some platforms.
Critics argue the game over-commercializes horror IP through branded merchandise targeting impressionable audiences. And its music videos have been banned from YouTube Kids for being too scary. While popular, concerns around Poppy Playtime's unsettling content for younger fans persist.
The Future of the Franchise
Despite controversy, Poppy Playtime's runaway success proves its formula resonates widely. The studio is rapidly expanding the franchise to capitalize on its popularity.
Upcoming chapters will advance the mystery narrative and introduce new characters. A live-action web series is also in development to further build out the brand's storytelling. And new games like Floofty's Funhouse demonstrate the creators' expertise in viral horror titles.
With each new content drop generating buzz within its loyal community, Poppy Playtime shows no signs of relinquishing its crown as horror gaming’s new king. Its continually rising profitability ensures plenty of future resources to expand its dark, engaging universe.
Conclusion
In summary, Poppy Playtime has carved a unique niche in horror gaming by blending nostalgic toys with unsettling horror elements. Through smart digital marketing and consistent content expansion, it has cultivated a dedicated fanbase drawn to its creepy adventures. However, concerns around its maturity and commercialization warrant consideration. Still, Poppy Playtime's imaginative world has enraptured players, securing its place as a standout horror gaming franchise for the foreseeable future. While not for everyone, it delivers an appropriately chilling experience that both entertains and spooks its audience. Thanks for listening to Quiet Please.

十二個在迷你倉發生的故事，社會人倫，世情百態，全部都放到我們的迷你倉裡去。
十二集處境喜劇，以迷你倉這個新興行業為主要場所，由往來的街坊租戶，和這裏的看管人，一同編織出十二個既獨特又富共鳴感的現實荒謬故事，側寫出香港的光怪陸離。
這個混集中西文化、既先進又保守的香港，每個人都有自己的成長養份，大家時而仗義執言、又或以和為貴，就時人政治四兩撥千斤，對身邊不公不義的事情出拳發聲，怒罵嘲諷。我們希望藉這輯劇集引領大家關心時事，以香港為家，莫失莫忘。 -

每一座城市都有一個主題，這個主題往往由一處名勝，一條河流或一個山脈來代表。香港的主題，由開埠至今都是「逆境自存，群策群力」，這個主題的代表就是獅子山。
六、七十年代的香港是一個艱難的年代，但亦是一個充滿活力的時代。當時大部份香港的徙置區、屋邨以及木屋區的居民都居住在獅子山下一帶，他們每天早晨起來，抬頭便看見那座彷似雄獅子般的獅山脈，精神煥發地迎著朝陽，便鼓舞起他們逆境自存，奮鬥不息的精神。《獅子山下》便是那個時代乘勢而出的電視劇集。這個劇集既為小市民訴說心聲，替他們吐苦水；又有為政府闡明政策，增進官民溝通；亦表揚傳統中國人守望相助，同甘共苦的精神。
今年正值『港台電視31』啟播， 就讓我們重溫《獅子山下》劇集，去找尋數代香港人熟悉的面孔和風景，還有不同時代的香港人情風貌。全輯共65集一小時，並訪問歴年來參予劇集的幕後工作人員與演員，同時亦加上學者的分析，希望能對大眾有所啟發裨益。

A writer, a producer, a writer, a composer, a lawyer, and a software developer get together and drink, eat pizza, and play a tabletop RPG.
We play a tabletop RPG called Taitansgrave, similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but very different at the same time. Titansgrave is set in Valkana. Valkana is a world where science and magic are both powerful forces. You can see hover cars and dragons race through the sky, and cyborgs and golems battle in the streets. -
