29 f. I've been having a dull achy pain in my right breast, but when I do a manual exam there are no lumps. However, the ribs under the breast towards the center of my chest are sore to the touch. They almost feel bruised and seem to protrude more than the same ribs on my left side. Prior to this starting around a month ago I was having breast tenderness (like you'd get around your period) in both breasts for 2 - 3 weeks before my period which is not typical for me.
I have a history of fibroadenoma around 9 years ago near my right nipple (now gone after biopsy) so it's strange I'm now having another breast issue on my right side.
I plan on going to my doctor but am trying to get as much information as possible before going in, as I've already racked up some hefty medical debt.
Anyone else experience similar symptoms?

I got the display rack and the skull plans. Read them both and can't fine how to craft the skull anywhere. I figured it'd be in the tinkers bench. But when I go through all of it it's nowhere to be found. I'm on Xbox, anyone else having this problem?

I have a dilemma. I'm 24 in July and my parents think I'm graduating uni at the end of the year... I'm definitely not (I officially quit uni sept 2023 after doing it on and off for 5 years). Up until now I was super confident I could get away with it because coming from a Chinese/vietnamese immigrant household, I'm distant enough with my parents that they couldn't possibly catch onto my lie.
My dilemma starts because my mum is extremely anal about me renting with my partner and bestfriend in a shared apartment. She doesn't like the fact that I'm "paying off someone else's mortgage". SO, she's actually forcing me into the housing market... literally it feels like gun to my head. She keeps going on about how the market has dropped by 14% and nows the time to buy blah blah. Now, my mum plans on helping me buy an apartment and she'll contribute approximately 60% towards the down payment along with whatever savings I've had since I was 16. I'm super grateful that I'm even able to think about owning my own property with the help of my family but it's alot of pressure and to be honest, and I'm happy renting in this stage of my life and don't actually want all the baggage that comes with owning your own home.
Continuing, I don't make a lot of money currently. I'm working two jobs, one of which is for my mum at a nail salon (I get paid in cash). So imagine this. My borrowing power from the bank isn't alot. So here comes my mum swooping in to save the day. She knows a guy who works at a bank who can play the system and give me more borrowing power. Super dodge I know. Vietnamese people in the same community always doing the most. So along with the money she's giving me for the down payment and the dodgy bank guy, she also has a broker who is helping her with all of this. If you can't tell, he's probably also dodgy. Now, when I say dodgy, they all get something in return for helping each other and if you couldn't guess, it's obviously getting paid extra on the side to help. So dodgy also means reliable.
I'm absolutely shitting myself because the broker and bank guy need to look at my history of spending and any loans I have ie. my hecs debt. I'm scared that they're going to be like, "you're daughter hasn't been at uni since 2023". And they're probably going to see that the debt amount and my years of schooling don't add up because I should have racked up more debt for an almost finished degree. That's pretty much it and i don't really know what to do now or if I'm over thinking. I just need someone on here to reassure me that this is all in my head and I have nothing to worry about.
Thank you for reading.

So here's the deal. I have one outlet out on my deck that all my power tools are connected to during use. I don't use them all at the same time of course. But a few times using my table saw ends up tripping the breaker. It rarely happens, really only if I'm trying to rip some very hard wood.
The problem is, the breaker that trips is also the one our network rack is connected to. When the breaker trips, our Internet goes down until we get it back up. No big deal, except we both WFH.
I think what we're going to end up doing is moving the network rack into the other office. The problem is that part of us being able to get that stuff set up in the way we're planning requires getting some of this woodworking stuff done first.
So what I'm wondering is, is there something like a power cord with a fuse or breaker that would trip right there at the source so the breaker in the house won't trip?
Edit: I think I figured out as soon as I hit send why this won't work in the way I originally thought but I'm curious what you all have to say. My new thinking is that the circuit breaks when the current in the whole circuit hits a certain level. The breaker doesn't know or care what it is. In order for this to work I think whatever I used outside would have to be set to trip at a lower threshold than what the whole circuit as a whole would trip at.

NOTE: I posted this elsewhere yesterday when I was completely spiraling. I feel a a fraction of a bit better today. I'm leaving this in word-for-word. Even though I say at the end I don't know why I posted this, I guess I do want to hear about other people's experiences. Its felt better to get this out.
The last three years of my life have been pretty tough, but I really thought I had come through the other side. I (M39) decided to go back to school, as I was not very happy in my former field. It was an extremely tough thing to do, as I would be taking a pay cut for the foreseeable future. My ex-girlfriend and I had been together for almost three years at this point and owned a house together. She said she supported my decision and understood my time would become limited considerably while I was in my program. Well that was a fucking lie. Almost immediately she started complaining about me "not taking her out" like I used to, or not doing as many projects around the house. The program I was in was already anxiety-inducing enough. To cut a long story short (because this isn't event what this post is about), I came to see our relationship was transactional, developed severe anxiety, and started to suffer health-related problems like high blood pressure. By the skin of my teeth I passed my program, became licensed, but had lingering issues around everything that had gone down in that span of time.
Over the last six months I have put in a lot of work and truly felt very hopeful for my future. I saw a therapist, got on some medications, lost 20 lbs. and got into great shape. Starting this new field has been a challenge, but also rewarding in the way I was looking for. I met a girl at work which I was very hesitant about d/t setting and some lingering anxiety issues. There was common interest, and I really explained what I had gone through and where I felt like I was. We both agreed to take things VERY SLOW. Hiking, lunch, movies, very casual for the first month. We finally had our first "serious" date - a fancy late night dinner and tickets to a show. We had some wine at her house after, and after some light touching and kissing, we had the conversation of getting tested because we were very much both interested in pursuing more. She had an ex give her chlamydia and had an upcoming OB/GYN appointment and was planning and getting a full workup. I thought "Well I've only slept with two women in the past eight years and have had no issues," but knew I hadn't been tested since 2016, which had shown I was clean.
I got my results back last Friday. HSV II. I'm fucking stunned. I mean I couldn't fucking breath. Full blown panic attack. I have never had any issues with my penis at all. Never any pain urinating, nothing. All the anxiety that I had worked so hard to get rid of came back and crushed me over this last weekend. It was all I could do to to get through my 12-hour shifts. I immediately hit up both of my ex's to figure out who the hell had given me this, as there was no other way. Last ex proceeds to tell me she had been tested about six months ago when she started dating her new boyfriend. I confirm she's clean for HSV II. She proceeds to berate me for being an idiot and a near 40 year-old with a disease now. I'll admit I'm not very proud of this, but she assumed I had caught something after her and I did not tell her that that left only the possibility of my relationship before her passing this to me.
So on to the title and why I'm so devastated. I'm really racking my brain on how I could have this but never see anything wrong with my penis. Then I read something that was my 'getting struck by lightening' moment. It was a post that is very similar to mine. Guy gets tested, guy gets HSV II diagnosis, perplexed at no previous penis symptoms. But he does get pretty bad cold sores from time-to-time. His Dr informs him that it's very possibly to get HSV II on your face. Now I never thought I had a cold sore before, but I remember back in 2017 getting an infected hair follicle in the hair right below my bottom lip after shaving. I went to the Dr, he looks at it and says "Yup, looks like an infection," give me antibiotics, but it doesn't go away for about two weeks. About two years after that, same thing happens: I shave, my follicle gets infected, I get more antibiotics from the Dr, and though it's not anywhere near as bad as the first time it still takes about two weeks to heal. Then almost exactly a year ago the same thing pops about, but this time I haven't shaved. Call my Dr, gives me antibiotics without even looking at it. I start looking at HSV II outbreaks in the same area as I was getting my infected follicle. I find a few pictures that look dead-on from what mine looks like. I at least though "Well, it's on my penis, condoms exist," but I'm not exaggerating in the least when I tell you after my realization I felt like the hopeless protagonist at the end of an HP Lovecraft novel where he realizes there is indeed a fate worse than death.
I'm finally able to get ahold of my ex from back in 2016. She confirms to me that she indeed has HSV II, but didn't think to tell me because we hadn't spoken in years. "I figured if you didn't reach out then we were good." This confirms she cheated on me because we were tested together. I don't even care about that now. Now my focus shifts to the girl I'm currently dating. She knows something is up. So I just started at where we work and on the other hand she's been there for six years. She is like family to most people on the floor. I'm the annoying new guy who barely knows anyone. She has her OB/GYN appointment today and I realize I need to tell her that not only do I have HSV II, that it's on my face and there is possibility she might have it on hers' too. She is very calm about it but I can tell in her voice that she is shook. I hope to beyond all fucking hope that her test comes back all clear. I'm also legitimately contemplating put in my resignation at work, a job I just fucking started. There's no way this doesn't get out at work and I don't become ostracized. I don't know how I'm going to approach this in the future, I don't see any romance in my life anymore. And this is so fucking selfish, but if I gave this to her I am legitimately scared on how this will make ME feel. I'm scarred that that guilt will cripple me and I'll be doomed to live in constant anxiety. I don't feel any better writing this all out, in fact I feel worse. I have no idea why the fuck I'm posting this.

As the header states, I moved to the Kansas City area a few years ago and im originally from Kirksville, a very small rural town in the northeast of the state.
Growing up, mainly in my teen years, I really started to resent and hate my hometown as many young angsty kids get. I hated that any legit city was at least 3 hours away, I hated how redneck and casually racist a lot of my peers could be, I hated how there was nothing to do, I hated how little opportunity there was for me as an aspiring musician.
However every day that goes by i end up missing my dinky little hometown a little more. Quite frankly any of the suburbs in KC, or quite frankly anywhere as far as I can tell, are trash. They're obnoxiously sprawling with nothing but mega highway sized roads big box stores with ugly parking lots everywhere. And then I moved to the city which I enjoy much more, but it's quite nerve racking hearing gun shots on occasion and reading stories on the news of people being murdered on a weekly basis and no one bats an eye. Then hearing about the city's history and blatant housing segregation that still very much affects the city today makes me sick.
I do appreciate having many more opportunities as a musician, having a semi decent music scene (it's not great however), tons of nice restaurants, loads of rich history and beautiful architecture everywhere, etc. But a lot of days I miss my old po dunk hometown. I miss being able to aimlessly wonder around town at like 3AM and not having to be overly aware of my surroundings, I NEVER heard gunshots in Kirksville, I miss a lot of the great people that I knew there, I miss walking through Truman campus which is beautiful, I miss the simple public schools, etc.
Anyways I guess the grass is always greener huh? I still love KC and plan on staying here for as long as I can, but part of me really misses my small hometown. Anyone else on here have any similar feelings about moving from a small rural Missouri town to KC or STL?

I (42f) come from a hugh extended family. Mom has 12 siblings, dad has 15, not all are living. Both my parents, late 60s, have siblings who are ages 65 through 89. I grew up living in a different state than the majority of my family. I still live in a different state but am within a 4 hour drive to most relatives.
I have never been personally invited to a single family event on either side of the family. If my parents plan on attending an event they will call me a few days ahead and ask if I want to go. I don't feel comfortable attending weddings since I wasn't invited so I pass on those. When my parents stopped attending family reunions and so did I (because I have no idea when and where they are). The only events I have attended were funerals (3 in 2018 and 4 in 2020, 3 in 2022 via youtube). And it's really depressing.
In the past I spoke to each Aunt/ Uncle and some cousins about letting me know ahead of time and traded phone numbers. They all text, most prefer texts. No one calls, no one texts. I also have the numbers to my closest cousins no one calls, no one texts. No one has ever attended a function I have hosted either. Graduated, married, children etc. Nothing from either side.
Two months ago I got a new phone and didn't have my contacts backed up, causing me to loose all numbers. I have my parents phone numbers memorized so I was able to get most of the numbers I was missing. I worked my way through the list calling each one, getting numbers for family I didn't have. Each person said to me that they just were speaking to someone else that they hadn't heard from me in a while, BUT NO ONE CALLED TO CHECK ON ME!
As I spoke with everyone last week I said I was planning a trip by the end of summer everyone gave a vaguely disinterested answer. I wanted my kids 3, 11 and 12 to know my family. I haven't seen anyone since 2018 and none of them has even met my youngest child.
I was close to tears over this. I talk to my parents and husband. Did I do something that offended someone? I racked my brain over this and couldn't think of a single thing. I feel like just giving up. Honestly if these people weren't family I would have stopped trying long before now.
Tl;dr I do all the work staying in contact with my extended family. I feel unloved or maybe unlovable.

It just started one day late January where I literally bumped into her in math class. I picked up my papers and introduced myself. We exchanged names and shook hands. I then hurriedly went back to my desk at the front of the class, because I was nervous and she was drop dead gorgeous. Later that day in the same classroom another girl comes in and they start a conversation and then look in my direction while giggling to themselves. Ever since that day I'd wave to her in the hallways or when everyone is heading back home after the bell rings and she'd wave back and smile. We still have this kind of relationship. I plan on asking her out prior to the start of the graduation ceremony and I have friends who know her who said they'd help me to find an opportunity to walk up and talk to her! I'll admit I'm literally praying with every fiber of my being right now... It certainly is quite nerve-racking...😅 (It's my first time having feelings like this so don't go calling me a wimp!)

Hello, currently i have my ball pythons in a rack system. I am planning to upgrade them to full PVC bioactive enclosures, but it will take a bit of time to move them all over.
The bins keep building up a huge amount of condensation right at the front of the bins where I have air holes placed. literally dripping wet and soaking the coco husk. but the back of the bins are dry as bone.
I have air holes placed at the back as well, but nothing is helping with the condensation build up at the front.
What can i do and how can i decrease the amount of condensation? where are the proper places to put the air holes? I want them to be comfortable while i work towards their new enclosures getting set up and the condensation that’s building is just crazy. the whole front of their enclosures are being drenched and i do not want mold to start building up too.

First off, this is a problem of my own making. Before construction we moved our build approximately 20 ft east. Unfortunately, this pushed our septic placement and leech lines over 20 ft as well. Something that we didn't consider beforehand.
We have the house already framed, in about to move on to installing insulation and drywall. So the placement is definitely set.
The problem is, to have access to our farm animals, I will have to drive over the last 10 ft of where the leach lines are planned to go. This will include my F-350 and trailer that carries my hay, tractor, and other items needed for our horses.
Spoke with our builder this morning and he said that that would not be an issue to drive over the leech lines, but everything I've read states that this is absolutely not an option.
We are going to meet to see if we can move the septic placement and what cost that will incur, but wanted to get an opinion on if it would actually be safe to drive over my leach lines with such a heavy load.

For those who attend or plan to attend Chicago Fire matches at Soldier Field, there are free bike parking racks around the stadium. Here you can see a map of the parking rack locations.

What’s the #1 thing every founder needs to know?

I’ll give you a few minutes to make a list — top of mind might include sales, marketing, technology, product management (especially product-market fit), technical skills, fundraising, team building, leadership, management, finance, and planning/executing strategic growth and scaling.
Sure… but, sorry, none of that is the correct answer. Because, of course, you know that founders typically are expected to be jacks of all trades. So yes, to all of the above, but that’s not the secret sauce.
The #1 thing every founder needs to know is… themself.
Here’s the truth: founders start companies, and entrepreneurs build them. While not every entrepreneur is a founder (think franchise owners), every founder is an entrepreneur (at least initially).
If you’re like me, you are a forward-obsessed founder. That means where you are now is always building toward where you want to go. That person is always an entrepreneur. Once the company is started, you’ll do what it takes — including relinquishing control — to keep it growing.
Does that sting? We founders think of our companies as our babies, but statistics say we’re likely to be the ones kicked out of the nest. Also, research shows that in the US, only 14 out of the top selling 500 companies still have the original founder running the company. And the Harvard Business Review reports that most founders relinquish control long before their companies go public — and that four out of five are forced to step down as CEO.
It doesn’t have to be that way if you have one critical attribute: self-awareness. That way, you can decide as your company grows how you want to evolve your role in the overall day-to-day running of the company (i.e., learn, delegate, hire, move on). And ultimately, you can make better choices at critical growth junctures in your business progression.
So, to help you become more self-aware, it’s helpful to understand the different types of founders. Let’s dive in.

The Types of Founders

A couple of notes before we get into specifics:

Much like any other classification, there are gray areas, so you (and many of the examples I share in this article) may fit into more than one category.
Some traits are common to all founders, such as being open to innovation, passionate about their project, risk-takers, etc. But some founders excel or even over-index in certain attributes, so that’s what you’ll see in the different types.

The bottom line: knowing your strongest/weakest points is a critical piece of the self-awareness pie. That way, you can conduct your business in what I call the Green Zone — aka the Genius Zone, where you have both high passion and high competence — and make the best choices for you and your company.

1. The Solo Founder

Traits:

Fiercely independent
Self-assured
Strong belief in their vision/idea
Business strongly tied to skill set and experience
Resilient (i.e., can withstand feelings of loneliness)

Benefits:

Freedom
Complete control
Learn a lot

Pitfalls:

Solo-founded companies statistically have a higher failure rate
Harder to raise money/VCs are more reticent
Health impacts: burnout, loneliness, etc.
Attention is divided because you wear all the hats (marketing, sales, building your product, finances, fundraising, prospecting for new customers, etc.)
Complete responsibility for all aspects of the business

Example: Sara Blakely, Spanx Founder
Ten years ago, in 2012, when she was just 38, Sara Blakely became the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire. Her business, built on a significant industry gap (the lack of comfortable, effective shapewear) and her incredible sales hustle, also benefited greatly from Blakely’s abundant self-awareness. Here’s her advice to solo founders at a 2020 business conference:

“I tell people as soon as you can afford to hire your weaknesses, do it… As soon as I could afford to hire someone to do more of the operations side of the business, I did. As an entrepreneur, one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is to stay in your lane.”

In other words, know what your Green Zone is and play there.
If you’re like Blakely, it’s usually big ideas and sales ability (she could easily qualify as a Visionary Founder, too) or operations and execution (what Blakely realized she needed help with).
Pro tip: If you’re a solo founder, you’ll likely want to lean into an entrepreneurial framework like the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to help you define and settle into which side you skew toward.

2. The Visionary Founder (or Co-founders)

Traits:

Driven by a big idea
Disruptive — recognizes opportunities to upend traditional norms
Focused and clear
Persistent
Natural salesperson
Can see the big picture
Collaborative (esp. In co-founder scenario)
Motivated by the impact they have — more than $$ alone

Benefits:

Passionate about their work
Aren’t easily derailed — failures are expected, and mistakes are not made twice
Inspired leadership

Pitfalls:

So focused on the big picture that they may miss important details
A visionary idea doesn’t automatically = visionary leadership
Disconnected from reality at times
Easily bored when the mundane takes priority
May not plan succession well
Unrealistic expectations
Poor communication

Example: Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak
Considering that Steve Jobs’ name is pretty much synonymous with “visionary,” I don’t think I need to list more than the products and industries Jobs’ revolutionized at Apple and beyond — Apple Computers, iPod (iTunes), iPad, iPhone, Pixar, iCloud — with many products and points in between. George Lucas, from whom Jobs bought the Graphics Group at Lucasfilm and renamed it “Pixar,” perfectly summarizes his superpower:

“The magic of Steve was that while others simply accepted the status quo, he saw the true potential in everything he touched and never compromised on that vision.”

Steve Wozniak was the technological yin to Jobs’ sales and marketing yang, bringing the vision of a computer with a graphic interface to life. From the visionary files, “Woz” also invented the first programmable universal remote and was an early innovator of wireless GPS (thanks to his clever dogs who routinely evaded electronic fences).

3. The Serial Disruptor

Traits:

Varied interests & capabilities
Easily bored — desires variety and change
Optimistic
Extremely innovative
High threshold for pain
Accepting of failure
Self-reliant
Diverse capabilities
Bold vision
Motivated by the impact they have — more than $$ alone

Benefits:

Variety of experiences
Flexibility and freedom
Diversification
Tons of opportunities for creative expression
Greater earning opportunities
Disrupts industries
Attracts high-quality talent

Pitfalls:

High risk
Difficulties finding trustworthy partners/can get stuck helming something when you want to move on
Multitudes of people reliant on you
Divided focus
Ego-driven pursuits

Example: Elon Musk
Like him or loathe him, Elon Musk is perhaps the most prolific (and successful) serial founder of all time with startups including Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Neuralink, among others. His drive to design opportunities to evolve humanity has redefined both hustle culture and the art of serial entrepreneurship.
For serial founders, having a set of principles is key to their success. In Musk’s case, his use of “first principles” — reducing a process to its essential parts — has served him well, from helping him figure out how to make rockets cheaper and reusable (SpaceX) to shifting the narrative of electric vehicles (Tesla).

4. The Engineer

Traits:

Engineer by experience and nature
Technically savvy
Able to problem-solve technology-driven issues (not just with the product but also operations-wise)
Strong desire to not just innovate but also to accelerate progress
Expansive vision of how technology can solve common problems
Level-headed
Agile, fast learners
Focused on execution

Benefits:

Pragmatic approach
Own technology
Problems are solved quickly
Able to employ technology to reduce time to market
Solutions for products can become new products in their own right

Pitfalls:

Not well versed in other crucial areas (i.e., sales, marketing)
Over-index on having lower Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Because they can learn quickly, so may get stuck playing outside of the green zone

Example: Mark Zuckerberg
Much like the other examples I’m sharing, Mark Zuckerberg’s story has been widely told, so you probably know about his development of Facebook. But at his core, Zuckerberg is an engineering prodigy and geek. At just 13 in 1997, he built “ZuckNet,” which enabled the family’s home computers to communicate via Ping (a precursor of AOL’s Instant Messenger) with his father’s dental office computers. He was using AI in his senior year in high school, so the roots of his Meta(verse) focus today are apparent.
A common weakness for engineers is they tend to have a lower EQ, which has been well-researched. As a former engineer, I understand how logic and technology come easier than understanding human behavior. This is why tech founders should seek out mentors early and bring in competent leaders with high EQ and leadership skills — for example, Zuckerberg credits his former COO of 14 years, Sheryl Sandberg, for turning the company into a multi-billion dollar company.

5. The Personality Founder

Traits:

Charismatic and gregarious
Attracts a vast audience
Influential
Ambitious
Forward-thinking
Inwardly motivated (responds to a “calling”)
Excellent storytellers
Authentic and honest (ideally 😉)

Benefits:

Has a built-in audience and established social platforms
Likely has pre-existing wealth (can help fund the business/mitigate startup money woes)
Can use their power for good; disruptive in a positive way

Pitfalls:

Needs to find the right people to trust
Can’t just be the “face” of the business; needs to accrue real business chops
Celebrity and influence status don’t equal quality products
Difficult or impossible for the founder to leave

Example: Oprah
I’m using Oprah as an example, as her products are an outgrowth of her — her eponymous talk show, which ran for 25 years, the OWN network, O Magazine, her book club, and a variety of charitable endeavors comprise her vast empire. But of course, we know plenty of other personality brands that have racked up billions in sales and even transformed, from the Kardashians/Jenners, to Bethany Frankel and Ryan Reynolds (just watch Deadpool 3 to see his brands — coming in 2023).
In today’s age of influence, we’ve seen a surge of personality brands and founders who leverage built-in audiences and communities to scale quickly. All these names are business mavericks in their own right, but many didn’t start out this way — they deftly utilize their charisma and ability to entertain to shape their brands and pave the way to success.

6. The Accidental Founder

Traits:

Independent
Resourceful
Necessity-driven
Follow their desire/passion
Creative
Willing to take risks

Benefits:

A deep belief in what they’re doing
Solves real-world problems based on personal experience
Discover they’re much happier running their own show
Turns skills, vocation, or avocation into a profitable business

Pitfalls:

May not have the business chops
Reluctant business person — may not actually want to run their own business
Needs to find the right people to trust
Overwhelm

Example: Yvon Chouinard
Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard has been in the news lately for giving away his company to fight climate change. He’s an OG accidental entrepreneur whose passion for rock climbing led him to develop reusable pitons (rock climbing spikes) and, later, heavy-duty shirts. Famously Chouinard called himself a “dirtbag climber” and didn’t want to become a business mogul. Sixty-five years later, this accidental founder’s company is valued at $3 billion, and his latest innovation is a way of giving away the profits of a company to continue his contribution to society — protecting and preserving the natural world.
As I always say, there are riches in the niches, and accidental entrepreneurs are the leading type of founders to discover a marketplace with little or no competition.

7. The Intentional Founder

Traits:

Purpose-driven
Strong ideals and values
Passionate about the bigger picture impacts
Socially conscious
Clear and focused on the brand mission

Benefits:

An empathetic approach to the product/the company
Can educate, empower, and motivate others (i.e., team, customers)
Employees are statistically more satisfied and likely to stay
Commitment to a higher ideal engenders more loyalty and trust with the general public (customers)

Pitfalls:

Moving from individual ideals to a group effort is tricky
Difficult to find employees with perfectly aligned values
Might not have the business experience to set the organization up for long-term success
Purpose-driven (belief) isn’t the same as purpose-enabled (capability)
Might be challenging for the company to survive the loss of the founder

Example: Jessica Alba
While Jessica Alba does have some touches of a Personality Founder (she is an actor) and an Accidental Founder (an allergic reaction to detergent made her worry about her new baby’s sensitive skin), she is an excellent example of an intentional founder. Back in 2008, when Alba had that allergic reaction, influencer marketing wasn’t what it is today — plus, she had some success but was by no means a household name. Ditto for eco-conscious consumer packaged goods — a plus, sure, but didn’t have the same urgency and importance it does today. Alba then spent years researching ingredients in everyday products and even went to DC to lobby for updates to the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act. Convinced that consumers need safe, affordable, environmentally friendly products for kids and home, Alba launched The Honest Company in 2011.
Now, she did have seasoned co-founders, her own wealth to use out the gates, and VC support shortly after that, but it has always been Alba’s commitment to and alignment with the brand’s core principles that have kept the brand growing and thriving — today, as a publicly traded company with a 2021 $412.8 IPO.
What type of founder are you? Definitely feel free to share in the comments.

Para entender la historia de Five Nights at Freddy's hay que olvidarse que estos son juegos y quiero que tomen realmente a esta saga como lo que es. ¿Terror? Sí, pero sobre todo, ciencia ficción. Antes de comenzar, quiero decir que esta cronología la realizamos entre 3 youtubers conocidos de Five Nights at Freddy's y yo. Por lo tanto, agradecería que si les gusta el contenido de este juego vayan a visitar sus canales. Ahora sí, empecemos. ¿Qué pasaría si dos amigos se abren una pizzería? Esa es la primera pregunta que hay que plantearnos. Lo normal sería que todo vaya medianamente bien con algún tipo de problemas, pero nada saldría más allá de eso. La pregunta cambia completamente si nos preguntamos ¿Qué pasaría si Henry y William abren una pizzería? ¿Quiénes son estos personajes? En un principio, grandes amigos. Henry, por un lado, era un ferviente y talentoso mecánico que cuidaba a su única hija, Charlie. No sabemos nada de su esposa, ni siquiera si tiene a alguien más en su familia. Y por el otro lado, William Afton. La familia de Afton estaba compuesta por 5 miembros. William, una persona con mucho dinero y con buena capacidad para la mecánica. Su hija menor, Elizabeth. Este pendejo que no sabemos el nombre, pero llora todo el tiempo, así que vamos a ponerle Crying Child. Michael Afton, su hijo mayor y su esposa, de quien no se sabe nada. Estos dos personajes unieron sus capacidades de mecánicos y con el buen capital que tenía William ahorrado, entre los dos abrieron un restaurante. Así fue como entre los años 1980 a 1982, supuestamente, Fredbear Family Dinner abrió sus puertas. La principal atracción de este lugar eran los animatrónicos. ¿Qué son? Bueno, básicamente eran robots que podrían ser controlados tanto por ellos mismos como por personas o por almas. Estos animatrónicos habían sido desarrollados por los dueños del restaurante, pero Henry destacó un poco más debido a que hizo un complejo sistema de resortes que permitía a la persona usar estos trajes. Solamente que tenía que ser extremadamente cuidadosa, ya que de lo contrario el mecanismo del mismo se activaría y la persona que esté dentro seguramente quedaría lastimada. Estos trajes híbridos darían a luz en un principio a su principal éxito, Fredbear y Spring Bonnie. Dos animatrónicos que durante esos años 80s habían hecho furor y tan bien les estaba yendo a estos dos amigos que la competencia empezó a llegar. Y es por eso que a unos pocos meses de la salida de Fredbear Family Dinner llegaría su competencia, Fazbear Entertainment, pero que esta no sería relevante hasta en un futuro. En paralelo a estos hechos, empezaban a haber roces entre la dupla principal, ya que William no solamente había abierto el restaurante para comer, sino que detrás de sus intenciones había algo mucho más oscuro, matar gente. Es por eso que en una fecha que desconocemos, William creó un nuevo local, Circus Baby Pizza World, y es en este donde presentaría sus nuevos animatrónicos, los Funtime. Estos animatrónicos estarían hechos bajo la empresa Afton Robotics, que como podrán imaginar, esta empresa era de William. Aunque los Funtime no eran animatrónicos normales, si bien tenían características muy innovadoras con respecto a los primeros trajes híbridos, estos Funtime estarían creados específicamente para matar. Una inteligencia artificial muy avanzada, poder abrir diferentes partes de su cuerpo y la posibilidad de hablar. Claramente no tenían una buena intención, pero a William se le volvería todo en contra cuando el mismo día de la inauguración de su local, a pesar de sus advertencias a Elizabeth, esta entró igual al cuarto donde estaban los animatrónicos para ver si estaba su robot favorito, Baby. Y luego de que este animatrónico le ofreciera un helado para hacer que se acercara a ella, la mata. O bueno, no tanto. Mientras a todo esto, recordemos que William pensaba que ya todos los niños estaban capturados dentro de los animatrónicos, debido a que la apertura de su local había sido completamente exitosa. Entonces alerta a toda la gente de una fuga de gas para que así tengan que evacuar el local y él poder ir a ver su recompensa. Cuando William va a ver si sus animatrónicos habían capturado niños, sí, así es, habían capturado niños. Que eso lo sabemos debido a que en los planos de los animatrónicos aparecen cuerpo dentro de estos robots. Pero también William se daría cuenta de que su animatrónico principal había matado a Elizabeth. O en realidad, su hija estaba tomando el control de Baby debido a que los ojos del animatrónico pasarían de ser azules a como los tenía su hijita, verdes. Por supuesto que William al enterarse de todo esto no sabe qué hacer y es por eso que decide encerrarla en Circus Baby Entertainment, un lugar ubicado debajo de Circus Baby. Tras el cierre de Circus Baby y la incertidumbre de lo ocurrido con su hija menor, estas cosas empezarían a afectar a William Afton, dando comienzo a su declive. Por eso, luego del fracaso de Circus Baby, éste vuelve a pedirle ayuda y trabajo a Henry, que a pesar de todos los problemas que había tenido con su anterior socio, le da trabajo de administrador o mecánico, por eso se lo puede ver colocándole la cabeza de Fredbear a uno de los empleados de Fredbear Family Dinner. Durante estos meses, de un año que suponemos que es 1883, Henry creó y anunció otros animatrónicos por la televisión, que serían Freddy, Foxy, Chica y Bonnie. Por supuesto que William, al ver que había creado más animatrónicos, haría crecer la tensión con su nuevo jefe, pero lo que realmente llevaría a William a ponerse de un tono violeta sería la muerte de su hijo menor, el pendejo que llora, Crying Child. ¿Se acuerdan de Mike, el hijo mayor de William? Bueno, este personaje asustaba de manera sobre medida a Crying Child y mientras ésta atormentaba a su único hermano chico, William protegía de sobre manera a su hijo menor, poniendo cámaras por toda la casa y dándole un peluche creado por él mismo para que pueda hablarle y sentirse cómodo. Todo esto, a pesar del comportamiento psicópata de William, serviría para vigilar a su hijo menor y así que no se escapara a ver a los animatrónicos debido a que a Crying Child le fascinaban. Pero William, al haber creado con Henry los dos primeros trajes sabían lo que podían hacer y lo danino que eran, por eso las medidas de sobreprotección. Pero ahora vamos a remontarnos a una teoría entre Five Nights at Freddy's 4 y The Twisted Ones, el primer libro. Supuestamente, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 ocurriría en las pesadillas de Crying Child, pero la verdad es que no, las pesadillas esas que ve son reales y no un mal sueño de este niño, ya que son parte de un plan muy macabro de su padre. Verán, en la novela de The Twisted Ones, William crea un disco que hace tener alucinaciones con animatrónicos, exagerando su forma, su tamaño, etc. Algo así como la película de Batman donde el espantapájaros tiene un spray que te hace sobredimensionar tus miedos. ¿Y cómo se relaciona esto con el juego? El tema de las alucinaciones, no Batman, no tiene nada que ver Batman acá. Bueno, tenemos que remontarnos a Five Nights at Freddy's Ultimate Custom Night, en donde los animatrónicos Nightmares aparecen en este juego, pero en este juego controlamos a William, entonces es imposible que William logre saber con exactitud cómo son estos animatrónicos si es que en realidad son las pesadillas de su hijo menor. En otras palabras, ¿cómo sabes exactamente las pesadillas de otras personas? Con lo cual, si volvemos al primer libro, nos introducen que William creó discos ilusorios para hacer creer a la gente cosas que realmente no hay, y esto lo utilizaría con Crying Child para hacer que se aleje definitivamente de los animatrónicos. Por eso es que tampoco nunca lo vemos regañar a su hijo mayor por maltratar a su hermanito, debido a que este le estaba generando un trauma con los animatrónicos, cosa que a William le servía, aunque el error de William fue confiar demasiado en Michael, porque este no sabía dónde estaba el límite de la broma, ya que Mike asustaba a su hermano solamente por diversión, y el problema se desataría en ese año 83, en el lugar donde había comenzado y terminado todo, Fredbear Family Dinner. Mike y sus amigos llevan a Crying Child por la fuerza al restaurante para seguir molestándolos con los animatrónicos en el día de su cumpleaños, y siguiendo con la broma, lo ponen en la boca de Fredbear simulando que se lo iba a comer, y desgraciadamente no solo simuló eso. Como había dicho en un principio, el sistema de resorte de Henry era sensible, por lo que al introducir un niño dentro de la boca, el traje se cerró en la cabeza de Crying Child, que luego de eso, el mini Afton entra en un estado de coma donde están todos los animatrónicos que él conocía y el peluche que le había regalado William, donde en esta pantalla se da a entender como que su padre le está dedicando las últimas palabras a su hijo, pidiéndole que lo perdone, y diciendo dos frases que quedarían para muchísimas teorías. Vos estás roto, yo te reconstruiré. Por supuesto que esto lo dice debido a que a partir de la muerte de Elizabeth, él sabía que de alguna forma los animatrónicos lograban tomar el alma de la persona y adaptarla a su cuerpo, o por lo menos ahí alma y animatrónico convivían en un solo cuerpo. Una curiosidad de esta parte de la historia es que como estamos en 1983, si recorremos la casa de los Afton, nos vamos a encontrar con un cuarto que da a entender que es de una niña, y quién era la única niña que tenía la familia Afton, Elizabeth Afton. Por lo tanto, antes de ese 1983, la hija de William ya estaba dentro del cuerpo de Baby. Debido a la mordida del 83, las muy malas reputaciones y rumores que despertó que un animatrónico había matado a un niño, la gente había dejado de ir a Fredbear Family Dinner. Pero el problema de Henry no solamente estaría en su restaurante, sino que tenía un problema aún mayor con William, que seguramente le iba a culpar a este de la muerte de su hijo, ya que recordemos que el sistema de resorte de estos trajes había sido obra de Henry principalmente. Y aparte, William no solamente había sufrido un daño mental increíble por la muerte de sus dos hijos menores, sino que había comenzado un plan de venganza y de investigación del remanente. ¿El qué? El remanente, una sustancia que segregaba al animatrónico si se prendía fuego una vez que tenía un alma dentro. Como sea, el remanente se podría extraer de los animatrónicos y colocar en otros, por eso la única forma de destruir a un alma dentro de uno de estos robots es destruyendo todo el remanente. Por más de que si el remanente de una persona estaba en tres animatrónicos distintos, con que se destruya solamente uno, el alma de esa persona seguía quedando en los otros dos. Creo que se entendió, el temor de Henry por su vida y la de su propia hija estaba muy justificado y es por eso que crea un animatrónico especializado en proteger, Puppet. Pero por más animatrónicos que haya, si a este lo encierran en una caja de regalos, no serviría para nada. Y es por eso que un día entre los años 1983 a 1985, William tendría la oportunidad de vengarse de su ex amigo y una vez que se encuentra con Charlie a las afueras del restaurante, este la mata. Luego de que Puppet pudiera escapar de donde estaba encerrada, sale a buscar a Charlie a pesar de que la lluvia obviamente dañó todos sus circuitos. Pero ya era demasiado tarde y este animatrónico decide pasar los últimos momentos de Charlie a su lado abrazándola. Pero esto aparte de ser un simbolismo, lo que está haciendo Puppet es que el alma de Charlie vaya a parar dentro de este animatrónico, por lo que sí, Puppet tiene mitad animatrónico, mitad Charlie. Henry, al enterarse de la muerte de su hija, empezó una investigación judicial que nunca pudo llegar a nada, ya que William, o mejor dicho, Purple Guy, había logrado salirse con la suya y debido a esto, Henry desaparece por completo vendiendo todos los animatrónicos a Fazbear Entertainment, la empresa que había estado esperando todo este momento para tener animatrónicos, ahora salía a la luz. Mientras todo esto pasaba, si bien la investigación de la policía no había llegado a ningún puerto, dudaban de William y es por eso que este se alejaría un tiempo de situaciones de peligro, ya que no quería ser atrapado. Por eso le cuenta a Mike que su hermana seguía viva dentro del cuerpo de un animatrónico y que tenía que ir a buscarla, que estaba en el subsuelo de Circus Baby. Mike no entendió absolutamente nada de lo que su padre le dijo, pero aún así le hizo caso ya que él se sentía culpable por la muerte de su hermano más chico y haría lo que sea para salvar a su hermana. Es por eso que este baja a las profundidades de Circus Baby Pixar World y se encuentra con lo que su padre le había dicho, su hermana era un animatrónico. Desde ya que Mike tenía las mismas dudas que su padre en cuanto a cómo sacar a su familiar de ahí, pero eso lo resolvería Baby sola, porque tras seguir al pie de la letra todo lo que le decía su supuesta hermana, los animatrónicos Funtime se fusionarían en uno solo dando lugar a una nueva entidad, Ennard. Y este da a entender que la única manera de salir de Circus Baby Pixar World era hacerlos todos juntos, pero en el cuerpo de Michael. ¿Y cómo harían esto? Bueno, recordemos que este lugar también es el laboratorio de su padre y acá es cuando Michael descubriría la Scooper, una máquina que serviría para extraer el remanente de los animatrónicos. Bueno, esa misma máquina le inyectaría Ennard a Mike y tras pensar que estaba muerto, se confirma que claramente no. Lo que pasaría en las siguientes horas es que Mike expulsa todos los animatrónicos de su cuerpo debido a que no aguantaba toda esa cantidad de remanente. Y luego de que se desmayara al borde de la muerte, una voz, la voz de su hermana, le dice... Esto hace que Mike se levante y pueda estar vivo debido a que todavía en su cuerpo tenía remanente. Y como habíamos dicho, el remanente solamente puede destruirse si estaba todo junto, por lo que Mike y los animatrónicos Funtime estaban directamente relacionados. A pesar de esto, su hermana escapa junto con Ennard por las alcantarillas para luego dar paso a que la pantalla se apague y empieza a sonar un mensaje de Mike dirigido a su padre, terminando con la frase... Iré a buscarte. Volviendo a Fazbear Entertainment, ¿se acuerdan que esta empresa con la partida de Henry había comprado todos sus animatrónicos? Bueno, ahora en Freddy Fazbear Pizza, un local que cronológicamente debió haber estado hasta 1985 debido a que en una llamada de Fungi en Five Nights at Freddy's 2 durante la quinta noche hace referencia a que un restaurante había cerrado hacía un par de años, dos o más, un par. Y si sabemos que el restaurante de Five Nights at Freddy's 2 se funda en 1987, es muy fácil la cuenta que hay que sacar. Pero tampoco puede ser antes de 1983, ya que primero tiene que morir el hijo de William para que éste pierda completamente la cabeza y pase todo lo de Charlie. Por lo tanto, el primer Freddy Fazbear Pizza tendría que estar ubicado entre los años 1983 a 1985. Pero en este lugar pasarían una de las peores cosas. Luego de que suceda el incidente de dos empleados lastimados por usar los trajes híbridos, tanto a Fredbear como a Spring Bonnie los encierran y los dejan abandonados. Y aunque la empresa Fazbear Entertainment pudo encubrir este hecho, no pudieron tapar el incidente gigante que vendría. Debido a que estos dos empleados se lastiman, el local tiene que contratar más personal y es acá donde William aprovecharía para meterse como guardia de seguridad, buscar el traje de Spring Bonnie y en uno de los tantos cumpleaños de ese lugar, un 26 de junio de un año desconocido, este personaje deja de ser William para convertirse completamente en Purple Guy, asesinando a cinco niños. Cinco inocentes niños que debido a que la policía jamás pudo encontrar sus cuerpos se llamarían los niños perdidos o The Missing Childrens. Pero no es que estaban perdidos, sino que Puppet no iba a dejar que esto pasara de nuevo y por eso pone las almas de estos niños dentro de los animatrónicos y así podrían vengarse del hombre detrás del sacrificio. Estos niños serían Gabriel, Fritz, Susie, Jeremy y por último Cassidy. Luego de la supuesta desaparición de estos niños, el primer local de Fazbear entraría en una etapa de remodelaciones y tendría su gran apertura en 1987, el lugar donde transcurre Five Nights at Freddy's 2. En esta reapertura de Fazbear, entraría en juego un nuevo personaje, Jeremy Fiskeral, un guardia de seguridad que el juego lo hace pasar como el protagonista, pero el protagonista acá no es nada más ni nada menos que Fungi. Una persona misteriosa que no se sabe quién es, pero sí sabe todo lo que sucedió anteriormente, desde la muerte de los niños hasta que los animatrónicos persiguen a los guardias de seguridad, pero el chico del teléfono trata de decirte esto de la manera más liviana posible. A este restaurante vamos a llamarlo Freddy Fazbear Pizza 2. Tenía mucho más lujos que los anteriores, era más grande, más espacioso y sobre todo los animatrónicos eran distintos. Ahora ya la empresa tenía un conjunto de dos animatrónicos, los cinco viejos, los dos trajes híbridos y cuatro nuevos que serían los animatrónicos toys. Estos eran reversiones más chicas de Freddy, Bonnie y Chica, pero también estaban Mangle y Balloon Boy. Tenían el objetivo de ser mucho más amigables y contaban con el reconocimiento facial para identificar criminales. Es por eso que el asesinato de los cinco niños tiene que ocurrir antes de este segundo local, porque si no, ¿qué lógica tendría? Por supuesto que la empresa Fazbear Entertainment gastó una buena cantidad de plata en este lugar y no les saldría muy redituable este restaurante. A lo largo de las noches, Fungine nos va revelando ciertos acontecimientos y de la primera noche que tiene una voz calma o tranquila, llegamos a la última noche, donde su voz empieza a sonar de una manera mucho más nerviosa y preocupada. Jeremy entra un 8 de noviembre a trabajar en este restaurante y se va un 13 de noviembre, pero acá viene lo interesante. Recordemos que Puppet era Charlie y esta sabe que William había matado a cinco niños. Entonces decide devolverles la vida para que así puedan vengarse de su asesino y es acá donde entra el minijuego, en donde podemos ver a Freddy, Puppet y Purple Guy, los tres en una misma habitación y Purple Guy estaba ahí por una sola razón, robarse los trajes. Cosa que podemos deducir cuando la grabación de la última noche, Fungine dice esto. Por lo que ahora tiene más sentido y capaz que a Fungine se lo escucha tan agitado porque recordó lo que había pasado ese 26 de junio cuando alguien había entrado con el traje de Spring Bonnie a matar a cinco chicos. Sea como sea, en este restaurante pasa el hecho más confuso de todos, la mordida del 87. No se sabe bien cuál fue la razón o a quién, pero se supone que luego de que Fungine le diga ya que no se había matado a los cinco niños, se le ha dado cuenta de que el traje de Spring Bonnie pero se supone que luego de que Fungine le diga a Jeremy que si podía trabajar durante el turno de día, este fue mordido por algún animatrónico, cosa que nos enteraríamos recién cinco años después. Pero antes que cerrara este restaurante, la noche que Jeremy estaba trabajando en el día, a la noche no había nadie y es por eso que contratan a un tal Fritz Smith, que no es nada más ni nada menos que Mike, el hijo de William.
Pero este es expulsado debido a que manipuló los animatrónicos y por su olor, que recordemos que era porque el cuerpo de Mike técnicamente estaba en descomposición, por eso se ve de esta manera. Luego de que cerrara este local y que Fazbear destruyera los animatrónicos Toys debido a la mordida del 87, tras cinco años de inactividad, los animatrónicos clásicos volverían al ruedo en un nuevo restaurante de Fazbear Entertainment, uno que sería mucho más chico que el anterior debido a que se habían gastado todo el presupuesto y es por eso que pasamos de un local gigante a una especie de cabina claustrofóbica. Acá van a estar solamente los animatrónicos clásicos, Freddy, Chica, Bonnie y Foxy, pero ocasionalmente también aparecería Golden Freddy, el personaje más misterioso de toda la saga. Por suerte se descubrió que este personaje es Cassidy, uno de los cinco niños asesinados por William el 26 de junio, ya que esto lo revelaría el Survival Book de Mike, que lo escribió durante las noches mientras trabajaba de guardia en el restaurante de Fine Nuts a Freddy's 1. Dentro de este libro, a través de muchísimos códigos, llegabas a la conclusión de que el desenlace de toda esta actividad, el único propósito de esta guía de supervivencia es descubrir un nombre, el nombre de Cassidy. Pero no solamente eso, encontrabas el nombre en una página donde la mayor palabra que se repetía era It's me, lo que claramente da a entender que Cassidy es Golden Freddy. Siguiendo con la historia, ahora tocaría el turno de que Fungi sea el guardia de seguridad, debido a que como Fazbear Entertainment no tenía más presupuesto, pusieron justamente a esta persona. Él, sabiendo lo que le iba a pasar, llega a grabar cuatro noches en una cinta para hacer que el siguiente guardia de seguridad pueda evitar a los animatrónicos. Graba solamente cuatro cintas porque después es atrapado por los animatrónicos y muere. Al morir este, Fazbear busca personal y Mike ve en el diario un aviso de Buscamos Trabajador. Sin dudas, este va, ya que podía ser que ahí esté su padre o que su hermana Baby haya vuelto a ser parte de las atracciones animatrónicas. Por supuesto que no estaban ninguno de los dos. Solamente aparecía a cada tanto Golden Freddy tratándose de comunicarse con él, diciéndole It's me. Acá hay dos teorías, una es que Cassidy es la hermana de Mike, o sea, una hija perdida de William que no sabemos nada y por eso dice esta famosa frase. O la que es mucho más simple es que el alma de Cassidy se confundió a Mike con su asesino, William, ya que tienen una apariencia muy similar y le está diciendo soy yo, recordándole que él la había matado. Mike sobrevive todas las noches y vuelve a manipular a los animatrónicos. ¿Con qué razón? Muy probablemente para que los destruyan, ya que recordemos que tenías que destruir todo el remanente de los animatrónicos para que el alma pueda descansar en paz. Pero de nuevo es encontrado y despedido, haciendo que ahora esté completamente solo, sin su hermana, hermano y sin su padre, al que seguiría buscando durante 30 años más. Pero antes de eso, William seguía con la idea de robarse los trajes animatrónicos, un rompepelotas total. Por eso que entra una vez más al local ya abandonado de Freddy Fazbear, solamente que esta vez no contaría con la misma suerte que antes. Debido a que el alma de Golden Freddy se la parecería y este, aterrorizado, corrió a meterse en el traje donde comenzó todo y terminó. Ya que los resortes de Spring Bonnie hacía años que no tenían el mantenimiento adecuado y es por eso que provocó lo inevitable, la muerte de Purple Guy. A todo esto se puede deducir que el alma es la de Cassidy o Golden Freddy porque aparecen todos los animatrónicos desmantelados y porque Golden Freddy tiene la habilidad de aparecer en distintos lugares y es por eso que al principio del minijuego aparecemos en un lugar al azar para luego ir en busca de Purple Guy. Ahora sí, 30 años después, luego de que Fazbear Entertainment cierre, estos crearían Fazbear Fright, dejando el negocio de la comida para meterse de lleno en el negocio del terror. Mike entra a trabajar en esta empresa debido a que él seguía buscando a su padre y es acá que luego de encontrarse con Springtrap, o como se llamaba hace 30 años, Spring Bonnie, logra identificar al que era su padre, William, Purple Guy haya estado 30 años en un traje animatrónico. Y una vez que lo encontró, Mike decide hacer lo que hace mucho tiempo quería, él prende fuego toda la atracción y así de una buena vez por todas su padre podría descansar en paz. Pero en contra de lo que pensaba, los fundadores de esta atracción lograron rescatar todo justo a tiempo, incluyendo a Springtrap. Y acá aparecería el personaje que terminaría todo, este vuelve a la escena para acabar con lo que alguna vez fue su mejor amigo. Vuelve Henry. Él entendería toda la situación que veníamos contando hasta este momento, desde los cinco niños, el remanente, los planes de William, todo. Por eso que hace un plan para acabar con los animatrónicos que estaban libres, Henry iba a mandarle un mensaje que atrayera al alma dentro del robot, un mensaje dirigido a la persona que alguna vez fuese animatrónico. Así fue como logra reunir a todos, desde Springtrap hasta Baby. Pero faltaba uno, Puppet, que por alguna razón este no quería volver a la pizzería. Henry sabía que ahí adentro estaba el alma de su pequeña niña, Charlie. Así es como crea a Luffy, un animatrónico específico para capturar a Puppet y traerlo hacia él. Henry llama a Mike para trabajar juntos en esto y mientras el primero hace todos los preparativos para su Freddy Fazbear Pizza Simulator, Mike trabaja en la búsqueda de los animatrónicos y es quien hace las entrevistas para confirmar que los animatrónicos seguían teniendo las almas de sus seres queridos dentro. Pero Henry no le cuenta un detalle importante a Mike y es que todo esto era un plan para no solamente terminar con la vida de sus familiares, sino que la de ellos mismos también.
Así es como Mike incendia todo el local dejando encerrados a todos los animatrónicos y aunque su idea no era matar a Mike, este se queda porque sabía que no iba a poder tener otra forma de morir debido a que como él había dicho hace tiempo, si algo está malo conmigo, debería estar muerto. Henry en menos de un par de meses logró acabar con toda esta historia, solamente que no con toda, porque este es el final bueno. En el final malo, Golden Freddy también es reclutado a ese Freddy Fazbear Pizza Simulator, captura a William en su traje y lo condena a pasar toda la eternidad dentro suyo, dando lugar a los acontecimientos de Ultimate Custom Night, donde estamos viendo como William es torturado por sus propias creaciones y por las que alguna vez construyó su mejor amigo. La historia de Five Nights at Freddy's es muy confusa, llena de huecos, cosas que no se entienden y mil argumentos que no tienen una explicación certera, pero por suerte acá termina esto, ¿no? ¿No? ¡Oh, Dios! ¡No!
