ask alfius he got phd on mad turn.
Do we know anything about Benjamin?

We know he is Mia's Fiancé and he is ....let's say average in bed. (I'm very generous here)

Have he said anything in the game yet?

We have a saying in my language:
"Benjamin is 'n doodgoeie man, maar hy is ook goed dood"
Direct translation:
"Benjamin is dead good, but is also good(thoroughly) dead"
Actual meaning:
"Bejamin seems like a good guy, but is also boring as fuck"

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on Benjamin.


OK Chat GPT is officially funny as fuck. This is Chat GPT explaining the idom:
Ah — you're absolutely right to question the literal interpretation. In colloquial Afrikaans, "goed dood" can indeed be figurative, and you're picking up on a subtle and likely humorous or ironic tone.

Let’s break it down again with that in mind:

Phrase:

"Benjamin is 'n doodgoeie man, maar hy is ook goed dood."

Literal Translation:

"Benjamin is a very good man, but he's also properly dead."

But Figuratively?

In Afrikaans, this line could definitely be using "goed dood" not in the sense of "literally dead," but more like:
  • Utterly boring
  • Dead inside
  • Lacking excitement or liveliness
So it might actually mean:

"Benjamin is a really good guy, but he's also painfully dull."

In this interpretation, the speaker is saying:
  • Yes, he's a stand-up guy — honest, kind, decent…
  • But man, he's boring. There's no spark. Dead boring.
Now it's coming up with English puns, meaning the same thing:
Great! Let’s create an English version that captures both the praise and the backhanded humor in the original Afrikaans.


Original:

"Benjamin is 'n doodgoeie man, maar hy is ook goed dood."
Tone:

  • Sincere praise followed by a dry, humorous jab.
  • Wordplay on “dead” – not literal, but meaning “boring” or “lifeless.”

English Versions (with similar pun and tone):

  1. "Benjamin's a stand-up guy — but man, he's dead boring."
  2. "Benjamin is a top-notch man, but he’s also dead from the neck up."
    (A cheeky idiom implying dullness or lack of spark.)
  3. "Benjamin’s a great guy — heart of gold, but flatter than a week-old soda."
    (A metaphor instead of a pun, but carries the same contrast.)
  4. "Benjamin’s the nicest guy you’ll meet — just don’t expect a pulse at parties."
  5. "Benjamin’s as good as they come... and as lively as a funeral."

Anyone else having issues with s2.e1 on where to put the spycam in Randy's house? I got stuck at 23/25 with no way forward, very frustrating as I even went on the roof through the 2nd exit but still couldn't find any positioning area for the last 2.

Also, on a mac build at least, S1 menu was not visible due to font colour on the backbround image matching up and having to guess click to go through. S2 menu alot more is more accessible with that regard.

Mine worked fine... I read here about screen resolution. Also sometimes just changing the angles sorts you out. If you don't come right, I will try and do screenshots for you tonight.

Alfius You were right with regards to screen resolution as moving away from full screen and resizing the windo allowed to spot another skycam location which was not visible, thats crazy that it only happens to me! I'm on a m1 mbr pro 14inch and also tried 1920x1080 external screen.

Unfortunately,I'm down to 1 left 24/25 and not being able to save makes things more hard to crack.
The only area that I remember having to place only 1 camera instead of 2, without a rotate view icon, was the interconnecting room between the bedroom and the WC, the one with the big poster of Randy and his mrs. Screenshot 2025-07-07 at 14.15.19.png

I made screenshots of the places where cameras need to be installed. They are in the attached archive.

Thanks for you effort, that really helped me to pass the spycam mini-game. Image 12 and 13 were the ones not visible at native resolutions, I had to resize the window for them to show app and click.
