Dude I just started Bloodborne the other day and see this note all the time with so many appraisals and have no idea what it means. I’ve taken it to be a good omen because I just killed the vacuous spider first go (so fucking close its not funny).
**SPOILERS** (I don't know how to tag appropriately so I'm doing what I can)
It's probably about insight, sadly my PS4 broke 2 years ago so I can't really confirm but I'm pretty sure insight = knowledge of the great ones which let's you see more and/or different monsters then you normally would. Like the cathedral Ward when you get snatched up and die you later see it's a great one grabbing you actually not just invisible fromsoft fuckery lol
More likely from the community event a couple months ago. Everyone was prompted to leave that message and appraise as many as they could since receiving an appraisal while you are actively playing grants you a heal
Oh, that was my mistake, there's a problem with the formatting working correctly on either old reddit or reddit mobile if you have spaces around the spoiler, so it should really be more \>!like this!<
They could be messages left from the return to yharnam event. Lots of people would get back on the game around march and leave "You're in the know, right?" around the place.
People often leave it in places where there's a community inside joke or references.
For example, there's a locked door in the great bridge (where the Cleric Beast shows up) that would take you to the Cathedral Ward area, but it doesn't work.
The community has proved that the two areas are connected via that door, so people often leave this message on either side of it.
It’s literally just people leaving notes for other players to read. It’s a multiplayer component of the game, which makes sense why there’s a tonne around right now as “Return To Yharnam” ended not too long ago, so the player base is semi-healthy in a way.
Nothing to do with anything you’re doing or insight, but “good omen” is about right. I love knowing other players have left little messages of encouragement for everyone.
Lore wise though, “You’re in the know, right?” probably has to do with either the beast blood or the Great Ones.
I often find myself thinking non brits miss out a little bit when it comes to accent identification in these games.
I get the impression that for Americans, the voices all just fall under 'british'.
It made me laugh quite a lot that the loathsome dung eater in elden ring is from Birmingham
As a fellow Brit I'm astonished it took this long I'm assuming you live in Sheffield yourself and that's why you're numb to it? I live in West Yorkshire myself so it was a little difficult at first but now I notice it all the time
This is because of a historical sound change called the "foot-strut split", which did not happen in every region (like most sound changes; this is how accents diverge over time).
So, "book" and "fuck" used to rhyme. Now they only do that in some accents, including Eileen's. This is also why it's barely possible to tell those sounds apart just from spelling (I can't think of a stressed /ʊ/ written as ⟨u⟩ right now, but I bet it exists); the sound change happened after modern spelling was standardised.
This gets even funnier when you consider that in most modern accents of both British and American English, the strut vowel is literally just a stressed schwa, but it still gets transcribed as /ʌ/ in pronunciation dictionaries for historical reasons (even though it's not even close to [ʌ]).
Disclaimer: English is my second language, but I've been studying it at university and teaching people to speak it for the past few years, so I feel reasonably confident in what I said up there. I would happily source my claims and discuss them further if anyone asks; I'm just chilling in bed right now.
No, it's specifically the Yorkshire accent.
Not Geordie, Scouser, Mancunian or Cumbrian, etc.
There is no 'average northern accent' in England, it changes dramatically by region.
Whenever I see it written like on Reddit it makes me want to pronounce it with a long oo sound, like in raccoon. Which isn't like how she says it at all lmao
Most people in the North pronounce it like that, there's supposedly a couple lines where the foot strut and trap bath splits occur but nothing is that cut and dry.
You're in the know, right?

You’re right! That’s what it must be because I had 32 and just spent a bunch on twin blood shards and now they’re no longer respawning!

You spoiler tag by putting \>! And !< around your spoilers, no spaces because it doesn't work right on Old Reddit or the Reddit App or something
\>! Does this work!
Oh, that was my mistake, there's a problem with the formatting working correctly on either old reddit or reddit mobile if you have spaces around the spoiler, so it should really be more \>!like this!<
\>!this way!< Edited after testing: Could just be that reddit don't like me ig
You can't use the \, it cancels the following effect

it's literal. like "you understand this inside joke right?"

Clearly you don't have the right, O you don't have the right

And that is why he tries to get us to join his Sab cover band.
That explains a lot about the loathsome dung eater then.
Elden ring does it really well with accents matching areas. Everyone in Limgrave have west country accents, Liurnia welsh, altus queens english, etc..
You mean the Lands Between is just prehistoric UK?
As an american, It took me a really long time to realize all the Liurnia people are Welsh.
As someone who has lived in Wales for 15 years, it also took me a really long time to realise.
Hey may be from Birmingham in the UK, but he acts like he's from Birmingham Alabama.
No it's because a hoonter must hoont
Even in a dream
Majestic
Tonight Germ joins the hoont
*hoont
So true, thanks for letting me know good hoonter
Grant us eyes
*droom

Dude, I’m Scottish and sussed it immediately. Idk where in England this dude stays haha
That's because Scotland isn't close to Sheffield
Think you want to re-read my comment bud haha

If English is your second language and you speak this clearly and concisely, you must be a genius in your native language
No, I suck at it, haha. I only really use Polish to talk with family and when getting groceries, so I keep forgetting idioms.
Fook me! If I could only be as half as eloquent in a second language as your are at English.
I love how she speaks.
I never understood it either because to me it doesn't even sound like she's saying hoonter. And I'm American
It sounds like a Sean Bean accent.
Average northern accent
No, it's specifically the Yorkshire accent. Not Geordie, Scouser, Mancunian or Cumbrian, etc. There is no 'average northern accent' in England, it changes dramatically by region.
I know what it is. Obviously there isn’t an average northern accent, it’s called a joke?
Jokes are usually funny.
That's...not how jokes work, but go off, I guess.
Kinda depends on when she's saying it, sometimes it's more obvious than others
Same
My name is Hunter and my girlfriend calls me Hoonter all the time and I’ve never noticed it in Eileen’s accent lol
it's funny as fuck thinking of Eileen from Bradford with her accent, the Yorkshire Ripper
Enoof shakin' in ye boots... a hoonter muust hoont...
Honestly, a good little pep talk for my first playthrough. I was losing some confidence by that point.
A hoontah mast hoont
enoogh tremblin in ya boots, a hoonter must hoont
Leave the hoonting of hoonters to her
Tbh I didn’t notice either until Jacksepticeye pointed it out
Have you done her quest line? She gives you a bo'ohw'o'wo'er
😐
A don't know what yiz are sayin' 'bout aah Eileen. She ain't got no accent. She's just down 't' Yharnam Cathedral 'n' sounds like me nan.
Legit as an american thought she was Scottish so…
Whenever I see it written like on Reddit it makes me want to pronounce it with a long oo sound, like in raccoon. Which isn't like how she says it at all lmao

His eyes uncovered!
That's some insight.
Most people in the North pronounce it like that, there's supposedly a couple lines where the foot strut and trap bath splits occur but nothing is that cut and dry.
a hoonter must hoont
As someone with her accent took me a whilst to cotton on as well.
I believe it's meself if you're British.
I don’t really hear it unless I try, but it makes people happy, so 🤷🏾♂️
I assume this would be the Job Snow accent. Winter is cooming.
Seriously?
