Young Grace, her glasses reflecting the light of her laptop screen

You can get to all kinds of places you're not supposed to by going out of bounds in videogames. You might find a mysterious arena in Elden Ring. You might make it all the way to Hammerfell in Oblivion. Or you might visit the most cursed place of all: Reddit.

As KnyH_82 and Connect_Base_217 both discovered and, appropriately, posted to the Resident Evil subreddit, a quick look where you're not supposed to look during the flashback cutscene where young Grace Ashcroft is on her laptop reveals that she's on a subreddit called r/amateurjournalists.

Mentions of "old man Jack" and "that giant black monster" as well as "the Baker family" make it clear she's reading about the events of Resident Evil 7. Other posts in the sub ask "Do you think there are still infected out there?" and "The government are doing child experiments?" as well as "Evidence the BSAA are fishy", all of which tie into the events of Requiem. Although the post about "Mice on the moon? The Clangers are real and out there?" not so much.

He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
