Hidden Details: (Re)Call Home

Welcome to the one-hundredth-and-seventy-seventh episode of the Hidden Details blog!

Have you found some obscure reference or detail in this comic? A JoJo reference? A sneaky little Loss? A callback to a previous comic? Let us know what you've found in the comments! Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".

Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
Trying a new way of formatting here:

FIRST PANEL
1:
There's a little framed PlayStation logo on the wall of the PlayStation house.
2:
This week's crewmate is visible in the patterns on Knack's head! You have a good eye for crewmates, Generic Hero.
3:
Kat from Gravity Rush is drinking from a mug that has her cat on it. At least I think it's her cat, I don't know Gravity Rush, Luffink.
4:
And the mug Buzz is using has the same colors as the buttons on a Buzz controller!
5:
Huge shame that no one noticed Knack doing crack.

SECOND PANEL
6:
Miep was pretty well hidden this week, but Trigger found her: she replaced the wolf in Geralt's amulet!
7: Geralt is also casually walking a griffin that you have to kill at the start of the Witcher 3 (or was it just in that one trailer? I never played the game)

THIRD PANEL
8:
Loss is visible in the green spots on the ruins fragment that landed in the sandbox. Found by Cameron Devera.
9:
Balthazar is playing in the jungle gym in the background! Glad you noticed the little fella, Spirit of Gotham!
10:
Omori and Sans are getting ready to go down a slide in the same background, as mentioned by Karelia Cristina.
11:
Ethan's face is being conveniently obstructed throughout the comic, as mentioned by Percylegallois. In the third panel, we only see the back of his head and later his face is obstructed by Nathan's arm or Conker's tail.
12:
Normally, Rose winters is wearing her father's greenish jacket. But since Ethan is in the same panel, I had to remove it from her, or there'd be two jackets which wouldn't make sense in this otherwise very logical comic.
13:
John pulls the same pose as Marty Robbins on the cover of his LP "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs", known for the song Big Iron (used in Fallout: New Vegas).

FOURTH PANEL
14:
As A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends mentioned: the Xbox and Blizzard characters are discussing a house merger, referencing the Activision/Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft in real life.
15:
Haha wow, I was wondering if anyone would be able to figure this out since you can only make out a small bit of the text, but one of the bullet points in the PowerPoint presentation indeed said "Forza Car is a character, not a vehicle!", Charles!

FIFTH PANEL
16:
Haha yes, apparently "Pi!" means a whole ass sentence in Pikachunese, UnSaxon51!
17:
In the final four panels, you can see the damage Pikachu and Link caused in the backgrounds.

SEVENTH PANEL:
18:
Kratos is barely affected by taking a log to the face, as indicated by the little bandage he's wearing in the seventh panel. Good eyes, Lord Circe.
19:
When Pikachu recalls away, we can see that he flattened Kirby by landing on him. He's pretty squishy,  I think he'll be fine, Daniel Myhre.

All the details that have not been found are marked italic.

Sakurai is NOT going to be happy about that!

Shelby Kinkead

Honestly after how much effort they went to keep Ethan’s face hidden, I’m not even surprised anymore

Shelby Kinkead

Just like Banjo it makes sense for Conker the Squirrel to be hanging out with Master Chief since both [Conker] and Banjo were Rare characters before being bought by Microsoft Edit: also the fact that most of the games Conker was in was geared towards young adults in a way that Halo was intended to (despite young kids showing an interest in playing as the master chief)

Shelby Kinkead

Pikachu's Glider flattened Kirby :(

Pokedude14

He might have talked off-panel in one comic (the one where he and other characters are playing Poker against Aurther Morgan)

Sims2024

I think that this is the first time we have seen Lucario fully talk (unless you count him talking off pannel in Super Smash Boahs (the one where he uses Aura to cheat at poker with Aurther Morgan))

Sims2024

Pikachu's single syllable of communication somehow translates to an entire sentence.

UnSaxon51

The whole thing with Activision/Blizzard and Microsoft is clearly referenced in the XBox house where Master Chief is discussing rooming everyone.

PenHeart3

In the second panel, Geralt's amulet looks different... It's Miep!

Trigger

Kat in panel 1 is holding a cup with a black cat on it, referencing Dusty, her cat companion in Gravity Rush.

BenjaMan64

Nier 2B only put on a Towel to go over and be mad at the Smash House for partially breaking her house bathroom

LadyValerie

Bro, only put one

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

The fact that Mercy from overwatch among other Blizzard reps is a reference to the recent acquisition from Microsoft

A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends

The title is a reference to the fact that Pikachu uses recall on the zonai wing to leave

Nova_Cat59

Lucario is talking which unless im mistaken he hasnt done before

Tolis

Loss is on th3 boulder in panel 4

Adell Robertson

Yeah I noticed it too

Mario

I noticed that both this and the previous hidden details post are under the "comic" tag on your page. Is that on purpose?

Calvin Barbanell

Ethan face still remains hidden

Fighting Master

Kratos only needs a little bandage in the last panel, even after taking a log to the face in the first one.

Lord Circe

Ethan face is still hidden

Percylegallois

One of the things to discuss on the blackboard in panel 4 reads "Forza is a character, not a vehicle".

Charles

Kat has a cute cup with Dusty's photo on it

Luffink

Omori makes a cameo appearance in the playground.

Karelia Cristina

The meeting in panel 3 is poorly organized. Even without the damage from the flung items, a good portion of the text is getting projected onto the presenters' faces as opposed to the actual screen.

Calvin Barbanell

Knack's head looks a little sus there

Generic Hero

Balthazar is playing in the jungle gym behind Omori :D

Spirit of Gotham

Loss green mark in the 3rd panel!
