2024.05.28 03:17 miderots Pong Krell is the best villain in the Clone Wars and here’s why…

I will probably get downvoted for this since he is so hated (I hate him but love him as a villain). I believe Krell is the best villain the clone wars because he has a cruel aura, he leads the 501st into death without any care. While there are the likes of Ventress and Grievous who are villains they are essentially Team Rocket, they get defeated by the end of the episode and happy ending.
Krell has some character depth because he is a fallen Jedi who can foresee a new order taking its place and wishes to join it. He doesn’t care about the Jedi or Separatists, he wants power and is willing to go as far as ordering troops to shoot their fellow brothers. He is also very sinister in the fact he enjoys cutting down clones, laughing and taunting them. He is extremely skilled able to take advantage of his 4 arms and use 2 double bladed sabers and launch a heavy force push at the clones around him.
Please let me know if you believe there is a better clone wars villain than Krell! :)

A while back I watched an anime about a odd group of adventurers that are big weirdos and some are scumbags or they come off as uncaring but they treat each other as family
They eventually slay a dragon and become renowned heroes and this triggers about 5 more dragons to attack them and then they have to travel the world trying to find these godlike artefacts to defeat the new dragons
I dont remember the name of it so I cannot check up if there have been any new episodes does anyone know what I am talking about?

2024.05.28 03:02 nyoengland Gakuen Idolm@ster: First Impressions

It's been a few days since the first event and two weeks or so since release, so I think it's a fair time to post a quick review for Gakuen Idolm@ster (will be called Gakumas for the rest of the review). Gakumas is part of the Idolm@ster franchise, which has other games such as Starlight Stage (Deresute), but it's an entirely new branch which makes it very easy to get into. It's developed by QualiArts of Idoly Pride fame.
Gameplay
For context, I've played a lot of 'idol games' (all the Love Live ones, Bang Dream, D4DJ, Proseka, Deresute etc), but don't go into Gakumas looking for the rhythm game experience. The closest comparison by far is Uma Musume in terms of gameplay, making it a training roguelike. Unfortunately, like UmaMusu, it's entirely in Japanese, though it's gameplay is easier to understand if you don't speak Japanese vs UmaMusu. In fact, a lot of aspects from UmaMusu are borrowed to great effect here. You have five support cards and borrow one from a friend, and at the end of each run, you obtain a "memory" which is used as inheritance to boost later runs in terms of skill cards and stats. You can borrow a memory from a friend, though it's capped at thrice a day.
It differs from UmaMusu in several aspects though. As someone who played UmaMusu for about two years, the speed of each run is very much appreciated. Once you've gotten the hang of things, each run is about 15 minutes, and only has two "final stages". The final stages involve you trying to beat 5 other NPCs's scores to achieve first place. Another aspect is the skill card system: you get 3 cards each turn to choose from that'll grant you a myriad of effects, and these rotate out each turn from a set pool that you can expand on during the run. One skill card is tied to a support, and one to the girl you're producing. You access more skill cards and bonus items as you level up your player rank, and gain more skill cards during the run through various means.
Girls are separated into "sense" and "logic" types. Base gameplay is the same but there are notable differences when it comes to how score is gained, e.g. "sense" idols tend to have consistent damage across turns, whereas "logic" is further split into two categories: DoT or powering up across turns to hit very high numbers on the last few turns. Support cards can mostly be used for each type; SSR supports can be used for every type. There are three attributes: Vocal, Dance, and Visual; typical Idolm@ster stuff.
Gacha
Base rate of 5%, which is quite generous in comparison to other idol games. Rateup...not so much, as Produce SSR and Support SSR share a pool, unlike UmaMusu. Each pull is 2,500 jewels. For example, the Produce SSR rate is at 2%, and we have a 0.75% for Ivy Temari, the current rateup. It's a Japanese gacha, so no pity, though the spark is at 200. At the moment there are 2 gachas running: the permanent banner, and the rate up banner. Permament banner has no time limit and has spark as well...unfortunately, the "free tickets" are limited to only said permanent banner and cannot be used on the rateup banner. SSRs are all good to an extent, and the SRs are very much viable. Uncaps/dupes matter to an extent for Support SSRs but are not as crucial as UmaMusu's dupes. Dupes don't matter as much for Produce SSRs.
Sidenote: there's also a coin gacha which gives some good stuff, including a Sense welfare SSR and a Logic welfare SSR. You get these coins through runs and the event shop.
Reroll
Despite the myriad of fast reroll methods we've gotten as of late (World Flipper and Uma Musume come to mind), this one is the fastest I've ever done. One minute per reroll after the tutorial. I'd advise you to spend your 2,500 red jewels on the rate up banner, as the character and support card are very strong, and then try your luck with the tickets on the permanent banner. Support SSRs should be prioritised, and you can pick an SSR girl of your choice. Given how fast the reroll is, I'd advise on at least 2 Support SSRs; the rate up Produce SSR is very strong and is easy to do runs with. Later on, you can receive 2 SSR tickets through missions and such. Game8 has a tier list, and there's one in the fan discord for reference.
Events and Rewards
Events are the backbone of most idol/idol adjacent games, and Gakumas is no exception. It should be noted that the current event was extended when it was released as the devs noted that the original length (1 week) would be too short, and this was the correct decision. Currently, we are given a welfare SSR which can be fully uncapped. Still, it's rather grindy, especially given that Gakumas is fully manual. The event shop is good and provides decent materials for you to grab, but the jewel rewards, while not terrible, leave something to be desired. Of course, it can be argued that we're still in the very early days of service, so hopefully we're given more ways to gain currency. 50 for daily, 200 for weekly. You get a sizeable amount of jewels in the beginner missions/early achievement unlocks.
PVP
Thankfully, negligible. You get a small amount of rewards but if you're like me and detest it, it's easily ignored. Kind of ironic given that the original Idolm@ster (I mean the old 2005 arcade game) had PVP as a prominent aspect but I'm more glad than anything I can ignore it lol
Graphics
Honestly, QualiArts's strength is in the character models and they don't pull any punches here. Idoly Pride, their previous game, has very good looking models that photograph and move well in their 3DMV mode, and their track record continues here. There's been a lot of buzz on JPTwitter about how Gakumas's models can stand up to extreme zoom, and it's not unwarranted. I'm running the game on my 2020 iPhone SE and other than overheating after an hour of play or so, it runs well on high graphics. Has an 60fps option as well.
Music, voice acting
No big name seiyuus here, but the girls are all voiced very well. Each girl has a signature song, with one (Temari) receiving another in lieu of her rate up banner, so we're assuming that with each rate up, each girl gets a new song. For their music, Gakumas brings in a wide variety of people, from the popular Vocaloid producer Giga, to Arthur Verocai, a famous Brazilian arranger, which reflects in the quality and range of their songs. They're all on their official YouTube channel here. My personal favourites are Sumika's 'Tame-Lie-One-Step' and Rinami's 'clumsy trick' to name a few.
Charmingly, the girls's final performances alter on how successful your run was. If your run was not so great, they will dance poorly, sing poorly (afaik seiyuus recorded separate "bad singing" tracks) and their facial animations will look stiff.
TL:DR Like UmaMusu in many ways, but isn't a shameless copycat; it understands how the formula works and why, and builds on it to create a solid foundation. The game is generating a lot of positive attention in JP, and while Idolm@ster is notoriously unported to the Western speaking world, Gakumas is by far the most accessible entry yet.

2024.05.28 03:01 Chris_Sneakers_97 SS vs. Prey (2017)

Looking to buy the SS Remake on XSX soon and just wanted to ask how it compares to Prey (2017)? I beat Prey once, but that was after about 4 tries of even getting into it enough to beat it. But once I got into it, I REALLY got into it. I was not a big fan of how easily you could get lost, how unclear some instructions/objectives were and how much reading/listening of audio or conversations you had to do. I did like exploring, upgrading stuff, finding new things to fabricate and defeating a tough enemy to get rewarded with a bunch of materials. I'm just not a huge fan of conversations in games and forced reading/listening to learn where to go. So, would SS be a bad idea for me to get? Or is it different/better than Prey enough to warrant me buying it? It looks really cool lol

2024.05.28 02:57 Top_Lab_9647 What really happened to Security Breach? // Chronicles of The Sandbox Cut

INTRODUCTION

Hello there. As you may know, for the past couple of years we've been hearing a lot of complaints about how Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach was ruined by the cuts. While I don't deny that a lot has been removed, I feel like there is a lot of misinterpretation when it comes to what FNaF: SB was really meant to be.
I'll be working with a lot of the information that's already known in the datamining community, but for those who are new to cut content, I will still try and highlight the crucial points.
The actual description of what Security Breach was supposedly meant to be is listed in the paragraph "SANDBOX CUT", but before that we have to take apart the elements that are falsely perceived as cut content. It's important to know what we are working with.

THE FALSE PERCEPTION

Online, you can find a lot of videos about the version of SB's story that we never got to experience. Was Freddy meant to betray you? Did Vanny have a bigger impact on the story? A lot of it mainly comes from the trailers. And that's an important point to explore.
1. The Teaser Trailer
Altered or not, most of the areas in the teaser trailer are still in the game. But it's Vanny's dialogue that has caught everyone's attention.
More lines of hers can be heard in the NVIDIA RTX Demo as well. Minus "I See You". That one was confirmed to not be hers.
This version of Vanny was voiced by the actress Stacey Young. And during the casting Vanny was labeled as the Metal Femme Fatale. Hence the robotic undertones and alluring motif of her voice.
But the most important part is that Vanny's dialogue was never as extensive as Gregory's, Freddy's or even Vanessa's. As confirmed by Stacey Young herself, the script never exceeded a page. All the dialogue we hear in the trailers might as well be everything that Vanny has ever had.
https://preview.redd.it/im5dzbtfy13d1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=a87bff97986c5dcd791d7e7aa9a9078925a14b78
With that in mind, "Gregory, your friends are worried about you" — the one line that has caused a lot of discussion — may not have much significance at all, as it is akin to the lines other characters say in the game — "I bet your family is worried about you", "Let me take you to your parents". When neither of these statements are true. And just exist to lure Gregory out.
But what about the children's roles on Voices.com? (For the record, Voices.com is the website Scott uses to hire actors.) Well, perhaps we should consider that it may not be a bunch of kids, but just one. Gregory.
Each name you see on Voices.com isn't a character, but a role title. And just because someone appears on the review board doesn't mean they were indeed casted or meant to stay. Take Vanny for instance. She had two different roles with different direction and casting. The "Reluctant Follower" by Jessica Tang who then became the "Metal Femme Fatale" by Stacey Young.
The children seem to be one and the same. Kid in the Box, which may be referring to Gregory in the stomach hatch. What a Sweet Kid, No Evil Intentions, who is described to be a little boy calling out to his friend. I've seen interpretations of this kid being Gregory's lost friend or Vanny trying to lure him away. But perhaps the truth is more simple. Calling out for his friend is what Gregory does the entire game — Freddy, are you there? Freddy, I'm trapped! Freddy, this. And Freddy that.
There is also "Kid on the Run! This is a bad situation", who certainly resembles Gregory with the title alone. But the important detail here is that there were not one, but two castings for Kid on the Run — Male and Female. Similar both in the title and the amount of dialogue. Bear in mind, Male and Female doesn't indicate a gender of the character, but the actor. It appears Scott couldn't find the proper match for the role, hence the amount child actors who were attempting to fill in the spot.
The idea that there were many kids was born as a combination of these roles as well as Vanny's statement in the trailer. But given that Vanny's dialogue was a one-liner with no further elaboration, like the ones other enemies have, this concept may be a misunderstanding, especially considering that the flow of the game was already set in stone.
In the trailer, we can note a few things. For one, the map was mostly complete. At the very least, structurally. And the key points of the game were already in works. You can see the compactor reserved for Chica's Boss Fight, Fazer Blast arena used in the minigame as well as the Winner's Lounge where you get the blaster. The catwalk and the stairwell of Vanny's Hideout are also included, which are a part of the Vanny Ending. Plus we are shown the Loading Dock and the Lobby Entrance, meaning the gameplay was always focused on looking for the exit.
https://preview.redd.it/l7qhcqekz13d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c268ad86b36438580e149e6539ba763da4fa57a6
We will explore the building structure and how it ties into the gameplay further down. But to lock the discussion of the teaser trailer, I have to mention a few elements that were solely designed for the trailer.
• Vanny in the Loading Dock. The shadow you see in the Loading Dock scene isn't a part of the gameplay. It has been added for the trailer, as it is listed in the data for the cinematic camera. (Which produces a planning shot seen in the trailer.)
https://preview.redd.it/g4pmbpwqz13d1.png?width=209&format=png&auto=webp&s=a88dcff323153bb363dc8bd9734570d4bea48018
• Moon in the Kitchen. This one is easy to disprove, as this animation is literally in the files and is labeled "Marketing", implying it was only for the teaser. But did you know that this scene was initially supposed to tease Monty, with him walking past the kitchen?
https://preview.redd.it/kqcgg4bsz13d1.png?width=676&format=png&auto=webp&s=86033756652a8a9a5d017c3b9eeddc623aab188e
  1. The Gameplay Trailer
Now we got to the more interesting part, but I guess I don't need to write an essay about its implications. You have Vanessa helping you, you have Burntrap's dialogue and many different cutscenes. So what's the debate here?
The important detail is this — the trailer was not made by Steel Wool. As confirmed by one of the workers, it was Scott who scripted it. The dialogue you hear may have never been in the game. It's certainly not in the files or any of the cut subtitles.
And the reason I'm highlighting the fact that it's made by Scott is because we've seen him add dialogue that never appears in the game and is just used as a teaser.
"You don't know what we've been through" and "Don't hold it against us" are the ones everyone has heard of. But did you know that Scott also planned the second Sister Location trailer that included a dialogue, which was never intended to be in the game, despite being crucial for the story? That's right, initially the cutscene with Afton's interview was just for the trailer. The only reason Scott put it in the game instead is because he thought it was too spoiler-heavy.
Even the trailer for RUIN has Gregory's monologue that never ever occurs in the actual game. Nor was it supposed to, seeing how the game has barely anything cut.
The trailer is also said to include cinematics, not just gameplay. And that's where we start dissecting the footage.
Specifically, the scene of Vanessa in the Prize Counter, leaning on the elevator. And what I am going to tell you is this scene could never occur in the game. It only existed to showcase Vanessa.
https://preview.redd.it/o9vpmggc023d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd020dc58597a92acf86c7bc8ccfdad56575a8ea
It's a bold statement. How do we know that? It is all in the movement of the elevator. Note where it's going, or rather from where. It goes past the Prize Counter, which would never be possible, given there was no fourth floor. Technically, there still isn't, despite what the current map and fakelevators try to convince you. There are no volumes, no lighting, nothing to imply there was anything physical above Prize Counter.
The point is that the elevator comes out of nowhere, going past the Prize Counter, indicating that it isn't a real in-game footage. In the next part we will cover more concerning Vanessa's status in the game.
Peepaw, you know you aren't allowed upstairs.
And let me bring up another scene that highlights how the trailer was never supposed to perfectly reflect the gameplay. That would be the scene of Burntrap in the West Arcade. Some may argue that perhaps his boss fight was meant to happen there, but no. From the concept stage, the Sinkhole has always existed at Roxy Raceway. Even in the trailer itself you can see that the Raceway has been damaged, just like in the final game.
  1. Vanessa the Ally and Freddy the Traitor
The theme of many videos, explaining the story that has been lost. However, I would suggest to dive deeper and actually analyze the content in the trailers and in the files.
Starting with Vanessa, we hear her helping Gregory and trying to get him out of the Pizzaplex. But there are already inconsistencies present, including the scene right at the beginning of the game, with Gregory hiding from Vanessa. The same scene seen in the trailer.
The unedited maps and the location files dating as far back as 2020 suggest that the intro was the same. It is your main tutorial. And it sets up Vanessa as your enemy, despite her just doing the job of a security guard. She was never an ally to you.
https://preview.redd.it/82lgjxh8123d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=091610d3ac59a80ff06d7db774375b1c89b20799
But what about the dialogue in the files? She sounds kind, as if caring for your well-being. That is true, but I encourage you to read it, then you may realize something that doesn't add up — none of her friendly voice lines add up into a coherent conversation. She is just luring you out! "Gregory, I can keep you safe" and "Please come out, I am trying to help you." Unlike Freddy, she isn't directly speaking with you. She is hunting you down, just like everyone else.
As for the element that's never considered in these discussions, a lot of the gameplay is location-based. And Lost & Found exists both in the digital maps and older lighting scenarios. Vanessa was always meant to catch you and lock you up in the Lobby, where you'd face Vanny for the first time.
Other discussions include whether Vanessa was a playable character at some point. Once again, based on the dialogue. But it all comes to the same issue. None of these are real conversations. They are scripted and recorded in one take, meaning nobody is seen replying to Vanessa. Rather, it is something you eavesdrop on while she is in a different room.

──────────────────────────

While there is more undeniable evidence for Freddy, the circumstances are unclear. Yes, Freddy is heard hunting you down and being evil, but people have different opinions as to when and where it happens.
The popular interpretation suggests Freddy was meant to betray you in the Vanny Ending. However, the other cut dialogue may contradict it, as Freddy is the one talking to you about using the console to defeat Vanny.
In actuality, Freddy's "betrayal" wasn't even cut. Thing is, it wasn't a betrayal at all. We see Freddy turning evil in the Burntrap Ending. And that's where the voice lines fit perfectly. The thing that sets it in stone are Evil Freddy's animations. Mainly the one where he searches under the tables. Remind you, the Vanny Ending doesn't have any tables at all. But the Burntrap one does.
https://reddit.com/link/1d277rq/video/3flrzaxy223d1/player
  1. The Cut Maps Don't Matter
It's not like they don't at all, but we have to set the record straight. None of the cut areas are significant. That's why they were cut.
Most of them are just plain shortcuts or parts of extended challenges. Would being able to use a random corridor to go from the Lobby to Fazcade suddenly fix the game? Don't think so. And neither would getting the Faz-Cam by fixing a boiler in the Daycare basement.
But we can use older maps to see what did and didn't change in the progression through areas. And most of it is just the same things, only extended. The map didn't receive an overhaul, all the events are the same. Loading Dock and Kitchen, Prize Counter and East Arcade, the Backstage Office and Showtime, Parts & Service and the Endo Warehouse.
As we have addressed earlier, the game's story was never majorly altered. All down to Roxy Raceway being affected by the Sinkhole was planned from the concept stage.
https://preview.redd.it/u522e0ce323d1.png?width=1902&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e13a5e9c5881c0d338acd293533b2c8ae0bcf15

THE SANDBOX CUT

So what am I attempting to convey with the paragraph above? It sounds awfully like there was no oldebetter version of SB. Is that the point of the post?
Well, yes and no. The story and missions were practically the same, only with more steps at times. But most of the cut content breakdowns focus on the wrong thing, attempting to locate more events and scripted scenes that would expand on the story. But perhaps we should do the exact opposite.
What if I told you that the current version of SB is far more storydriven than anything that came prior?
So what is the Sandbox SB? Well, it's just a nickname for what appears to be the older version of Security Breach that had even more focus on gameplay than story. And its main distinction is lack of scripted progression. The Six Hour Countdown.
For the first time, it appeared in the gameplay trailer. You can see the Faz-Watch doing something that we never see in the final game — it's actually counting time. And not the scripted timestamps, but every single minute.
https://preview.redd.it/cgokc1qw423d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=81858d46d7277b1a1f57e914be02677db58fd42b
But wait, there is more. We have the Intercom's voice lines, recorded back in June, 2020. Months before we got our first trailer. And there you find the following announcements:
At the start of the game you also see an instruction card with a piece of outdated information. Telling you that Freddy can't be used again if he's out of power and you can only charge him at the end of the hour.
https://preview.redd.it/a7o4r1ff523d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=502cfa1ff39c68069bc15e39ceabf3d18cd422e5
Which, obviously, is not true. Why would the tutorial teach you that? You can charge him anytime despite it practically colliding with the lore. Since we're told the recharge stations are specifically being powered at the end of the hour.
The game always reminded you about the time that's actively passing. This little detail — the active time flow — opens our Pandora's box of possibilities. It means that you could do virtually nothing and just wait for the gates to open.
But Steel Wool have thought of that, too. Not only do you need to pass the Daycare and meet Freddy not to fall victim to Moon, but you also have something else to care about, known as the Vanny Meter.
Well, some may recall Ray saying it was meant for Survival Mode. And he wouldn't be wrong, as it's the last place where it existed. But that's not the full truth, as the Vanny Meter is hardwired into the Story Mode as well. Ever seen Vanessa run away to the Atrium for no reason? That's the Vanny Meter in action.
https://preview.redd.it/8ffzwqed523d1.png?width=1507&format=png&auto=webp&s=701f7861d6c9229d5026d8ef85f56e73691f462b
Now, to those who don't know, Vanny Meter is a special feature that reacts to your movement. The more you idle, the more it fills up. If you stand still for a while, Vanessa gets triggered. She runs towards a large bathroom and there she becomes Vanny. For one, it implies Vanessa must have patrolled the map since at least 1 AM. For two, the main purpose of the Vanny Meter is to make sure you don't leave the game running in the background while you are gone doing chores. No cheating allowed. You survive 6 Hours fair and square.
There are a few more things linked to the timer besides the Vanny Meter. Some of you may know about the Night Mode. The dark red lighting that appears to be the early version of the starry filter Moon has. These are the emergency lights. Just as Freddy said, at the end of the hour all the power goes to recharge stations. But do you know what happens if you activate Night Mode at 12 AM? Time starts going. Not in the Survival Mode, but in the plain Story Mode. Activating on its own.
https://preview.redd.it/ikmkj9hp523d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e8bc1c79d4bb3e6775a4812b6c241b1242857d7
One more thing that caused a lot of commotion was the Plan A pop-up if you died at 6 AM. If someone still wonders what it is, the answer is right there in the files. And right here below.
Plan A [Mission]
The main doors open at 6AM
The doors are open!
Plan C [Mission]
Find the prize counter security office on the 3rd floor
Find the door to the Security Office
Find another way into the Security Office
Take the security badge from the Security Office
Survive until Freddy shuts down the alarm
Find the VIP room at the back of the Prize Counter
Plan B...
Well, it doesn't have an official mission breakdown, but it's pretty obviously linked to Loading Dock. Plus the trigger for it is signed accordingly.
https://preview.redd.it/14nnl3a3823d1.png?width=809&format=png&auto=webp&s=8cdd51df3231058daea31ab3129ac7e3ddf86c25
Now. What makes these missions so special is the fact that they are no longer special at all. The idea of three plans implies you could follow one while neglecting the other, which is obviously impossible in the current game, since you are forced to follow Plan A in both cases. And nor can you decide to follow Plan A without collecting the badges for the Loading Dock Ending.
But what if it wasn't meant to be this way?
What if you could find a different exit before the 6 Hour mark? I believe this is the exact reason why these extra exits exist in the first place. If you are skilled enough, you could finish the game way sooner.
It wasn't a step-by-step story, like RUIN. It was a gigantic mall simulator where you are the moving force of the plot. This is the reason why everything feels so forced and unmotivated.
Well, you don't. And that's the true meaning of the Sandbox SB. The idea of surviving the night your way, while it's your curiosity, greed or bloodlust that push Gregory to survive, collect and fight.
It's a big sandbox puzzle where you look for anything that could aid in your motives, whether you just want to live till dawn or play detective and uncover all the secrets of the Pizzaplex.
Another important element of the Sandbox is the way enemies act. As you may have noticed, SB did something to the bots that changed them forever. Their pathing was limited. They can't walk away, even though that's their design. The natural state for the animatronics and Vanessa is to freely circulate around the map without obstacles.
Couldn't get a shot, but Chica is sometimes seen getting stuck in this corner. She wants to go outside. Through a phantom door.
That's why sometimes you can notice Chica get stuck at Customer Service locker room. She attempts to go off the rail and go through a shortcut that no longer exists. That's why Vanessa runs into a wall and disappears, as she can't reach the Daycare bathroom to become Vanny. That's the reason why the map is flooded with Security Bots, as the Glamrocks could walk to the far end of the building.
And that's why the map had so many various corridors, airlocks and passages. No elevators, no loading screens. Only the steady circulation of animatronics and Vanessa around the premises. The enemies could pick shortcuts and circle in on you. Or instead you could use a different exit and not end up in a dead end. That's why the large and interconnected web of Utility Tunnels used to exist. It was a reward. As you upgraded Freddy and opened more gates, you could then unlock more underground ways to reach your destination without the need to face the Glamrocks patrolling all the areas upstairs. Just like Freddy tells you at the start of the game: Utility Tunnels are the safest path. And they were intended to get you anywhere you want.

RAY'S INTERFERENCE

So what exactly happened with this version of the game for it to just cease to exist? Well, if it wasn't obvious enough, it didn't run. Maybe it did without lighting and with the high end hardware Steel Wool tested it on, but once the last gen consoles and computers rolled into the picture, everything started crumbling. Though even the last gen appears to have a bit of a hard time with the game.
Steel Wool put all their eggs into one basket, so the handle snapped. And all they were left with was an omelet. The game was unable to seamlessly load the areas without stuttering, which led to the creation of the elevators and map division. Their most prized mechanic has fallen. The enemies and the player could no longer freely roam the building without being stopped. It's not like they didn't try to keep the map's integrity though. In the files, you can still find the special gates that you needed to push (E) to go through them and load the next area.
There's also high probability of other errors linked to the concept. Like what if the hour ends while you are in the Boss Fight? Besides it's very likely that a lot of the missions, dialogues and areas still weren't finalized. Time was scarce. And Steel Wool needed to do something fast. Perhaps that's where Ray McCaffrey comes in.
I don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but how strange is that that Steel Wool gets a new producer in June, and that's exactly when the game gets labeled a Pre-Alpha as opposed to V1.0 that it was called just at the end of last month, May. There are two possibilities.
May 20th 2021 - The game is Version 1.0.
August 19th 2021 - The game reverted to Pre-Alpha. What happened in those couple months?
A) They came to realization that the game was raw and unworthy of being called V1.0.
B) Or the version I consider more interesting. It changed, because this is no longer the same game. The game that was 1.0 is no more.
The Sandbox SB has been cancelled, be it by Ray McCaffrey, Jason Topolski, Andrew Dayton or the whole team. What was now born is The Scripted Security Breach. The linear gameplay formula with scripted events. Sandbox SB was in development for years, so it was a Version 1.0. Scripted SB was just born, so it became a Pre-Alpha.
Believe it or not, Ray may have saved SB from either being delayed again or being cancelled. For instance, he was the one to call and hire Marta Svetek (Gregory, Roxy, Vanny VA), whom Ray knew from previous work experience. But the development still wasn't in a good place, as the dialogue was being recorded even after the release date announcement. Not to mention that there was no public casting call for Gregory, Marta was asked to fill in this spot, despite not being interested in child roles. She still managed to pull it through and now nobody imagines these characters without her. But it is clear something is not right when you, without arranging the usual casting calls, get an actor to do three characters at once, left alone a character they didn't even want to voice.

Even then, Steel Wool never gave up on Sandbox SB. To some extent. They attempted to salvage what they had and revive it in what we now know as Survival Mode. Survival Mode isn't just a random feature. It is the remnants of what Security Breach was attempting to do, minus the story bits. The 6 Hour Sandbox mechanics were presented in a more simple mission to collect gifts scattered around the map. But even that has proven too much to handle. And thus, the tale of The Sandbox Cut ends here. The epic tale of love, hate, bloodshed and overambition.
Well, it had a bit of a continuation. Steel Wool wanted to include a Survival Mode in RUIN, but never went through with it. Whether it is for better or for worse is unclear, but only time will tell.

THE AFTERMATH

The Security Breach we have now feels incomplete not only because of the cut missions and mechanics, but because it's one game impersonating another. Trying to be something that it isn't.
While I do believe this old route of progression would've made the game feel more complete, I still wish for the series to focus more on the story and its underlying themes. Come on now, we have a series of amazing books and short stories with thought out characters and unraveling mysteries, while the games get only a fraction of that in a form of scavenger hunt. I feel like RUIN was a step in the right direction. Surely, it has a lot of kinks to work out, but if the trend continues, eventually we'll get something truly special.
I would like to thank everyone for reading. I would also like to mention the Technical FNaF Discussion, which is full of talented people who helped to build the steps to this possible solution to the biggest mystery of Security Breach. And thanks to Pizza Gamer for some of the illustrative content seen in this post. Much obliged. See you next time. Toodles.

The MK News Media Conspiracy Part 2/2
Link to part one for those who haven't seen it: https://www.reddit.com/SMG4/s/gX6dRctOxm
Now before I begin part two of this theory, I'd like to disclose something. You see, one of the major goals in this theory is setting up a foundation for future theories to build off of, meaning that while some parts of this theory might be shaky, just know that it's partially due to this point as some things currently don't have answers due to the limited amount of info on the MK News Media at the tine of writing this. However, this theory is still incredibly solid as a whole, so don't let this one point ruin the theory as a whole for you. Alright, with that out of the way, let's begin.
Now in order to understand the role of the MK News Media we need to go back quite a bit in the smg4 timeline, specifically to late 2018. You see, at this point in the timeline, a news company in the mushroom kingdom, fittingly called the MK News Media has been struggling to stay in business after the decline in viewers caused by both the Waluigi and Rapper Bob arcs. You see, they didn't achieve all that much success during these arcs due to the infamous T-pose apocalypse (top left of image 2) and Rapper Bob's immense fame (left upper middle of image 2). This would lead to them declaring bankruptcy and nearly going under around a month or two prior to the anime arc. However, their near bankruptcy would attract a group of entities that mysteriously came from another universe (note: it's possible that the entities in question potentially came the great beyond, and could be the in-universe equivalent of the show's writers. However there is also evidence against this possibility, despite there being genuine evidence for it, so this could go either way). Now, you're probably wondering what this group of entities from another universe actually is. However, my answer for this is quite vague because I'm currently a bit unsure where they came from.
However, Despite my vague description of where they came from, I'm actually pretty certain that this group of entities is HIGHLY dangerous because they have the ability to influence future events in the smg4 timeline itself (even more than mr.puzzles) through things like yellow journalism and misinformation. Now a few potential examples of them using this ability (after taking over MK News) are causing smg4 to directly go after smg3 in "Mario's Spicy Day," after a bit of static plays when he starts smg3's spicy ones video (bottom left of image 2), making peach ban anime by discussing that anime is destroying the mushroom kingdom (top right of image 2), and causing lawyer kong go after smg4 after giving him info about smg4's origins (bottom right of image 2). Now while those are just a few examples, there are way more of these that I didn't mention, but we'd be here all day if I went over all of these examples, so let's continue from where we left off.
Now, this group of entities would tell the original heads of MK News that they are interested in buying out their dying news company, telling them that they'll make sure that MK News is successful in the long run, and that all they have to do is let the entities buy them out, even offering to give the original company heads a HEFTY sum of cash in the process. Unfortunately, the heads of the company would accept this deal because the only other option they had would be to go out of business. However, they would eventually come to regret this decision. You see, the mysterious group of entities from a different universe would fire ALL of the current staff and replace them with brand new employees that have similar mindsets as the new heads of the MK News Media, this mindset in particular being that of yellow journalism. Now, for those of you wondering what yellow journalism is: yellow journalism is removing or editing certain parts of information in a news story in order to sell a great story to the masses, and THIS is massively important when regarding the MK News Media, because the idea of yellow journalism would result in them causing certain events in the smg4 timeline (as mentioned earlier), and potentially even changing certain parts of smg4 canon, like the origins of Axol Jr and the Toast Guy (image 3) (Note: this ability is currently speculative due to the lack of evidence towards this being the case. However, considering that the MK News Media seems to take a lot of inspiration from the concept of yellow journalism, it would be a genuine possibility to consider). This would, in-turn, strengthen the story that the MK News Media wants smg4 to tell.
Now, They would also use yellow journalism to cause the events of IMWTLMOE (by creating a series of events started by through getting mario drunk with milk containing alcohol, and this would result in Mario's friends leaving him (top left of image 4)), and Clown Fever (by introducing the depresso's "girlfriend" to the biggest clown in town, aka, us (bottom left of image 4)) before scrapping these potential news stories/smg4 arcs because they thought the stories weren't good enough, as well as the negative fan reception to the start of said stories (image 5). However, they still had a use for clown fever, because one of the heads in the company mentioned the idea of a puppet master villain manipulating the smg4 cast, and considering they knew that an individual known as mr.puzzles had recently taken an interest in the smg4 show around this time through a local newspaper featuring his logo (which meggy would see around this time, as shown in the upper top left of image 6) (upper bottom right of image 4), they would go with this idea and start the preparations for it.
Now, their preparations for this storyline would begin by causing the carnival in the showgrounds to be abandoned through the use of fake news and yellow journalism (lower top right of image 4), as well as using said yellow journalism to close down the circus that depresso was a part of (upper top right of image 4) (evidence for this is shown in the lower bottom right of image 4, where we can see that depresso is acting like he's genuinely homeless while in the showgrounds). Next, they created a series of events that would cause the grand door to be opened (lower top left of image 6). From there, they'd trap the cosmic horror from the grand door inside a sealing keyboard (upper bottom left of image 6) (note: mr.puzzles may not have been the one responsible for trapping the cosmic horror in his keyboard due to his lack of power outside of the digital realm, as well as him running away from mario in the puzzlevision movie (lower bottom left of image 6). However, he was able to trap the smg4 crew in his head, so it's still at least somewhat possible that he trapped the cosmic horror in the eldritch keyboard.) and set smg4 into his pursuit of the perfect video by using mr.yeast to make smg4 obsessed with making far more content with way lower quality (upper top right of image 6), and helping smg3 cancel smg4 without realizing it later on in the episode (lower top right of image 6). Afterwards, they'd make sure mr.puzzles would get the demonic keyboard, which would set the events of the puppet master storyline in motion. Meanwhile, The MK News Media would start the first phase of their plan, that being, disposing of Princess Peach.
You see, one of the major goals of the current MK News Media is to have COMPLETE control over the spread of information in the smg4 universe, so they could continue making yellow journalism esc. stories without having to worry about governmental figures like Princess Peach (upper bottom right of image 6) (note:while there isn't any evidence for this at the moment, there is the possibility that Peach could have gotten suspicious of the MK News Media around this point in the timeline, which would make this plan feel more logical in the long run), so disposing of Peach would be essential to this plan. Hell, the destruction of peach's castle would also make for a great headline with great character development for the smg4 cast (lower bottom right of image 6), as well as a massive change in the smg4 universe. Now, unfortunately for the smg4 cast, the MK News Media would succeed in getting rid of princess peach through using the demonic keyboard and mr.puzzles, which would lead into phase two of their plan, making sure the smg4 crew doesn't learn about the true intentions of the MK News Media, or in other words, making sure they aren't a threat. You see, phase two of this plan would involve mr.puzzles and the showgrounds, with mr.puzzles serving as a distraction for the smg4 cast. This is because despite not being all that powerful outside of his domain, he was still the mastermind behind the events of western spaghetti and wotfi 2023 (top left of image 7). Now, aside from serving as a distraction, mr.puzzles would also sell the smg4 crew the showgrounds (upper bottom left of image 7), a place that would be ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TOWARDS THE PLAN OF THE MK NEWS MEDIA.
You see, in the showgrounds, the smg4 cast would begin construction on a new castle, and this castle would have a boarded-up room (lower bottom left of image 7) that potentially contains an object that gives The MK News Media NEAR COMPLETE control over EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING in the smg4 universe. Except for two characters, those being Tari and Mr.Puzzles (my reasoning as to why Tari wouldn't be affected by the MK News Media at this time is mainly due to what I believe the role of clench is in the greater story, which I'll be discussing shortly. As for my reasoning regarding mr.puzzles not being affected, it mainly has to do with his reactions at the start of the puzzlevision movie, as well as his actions throughout the adware saga, because him being under the MK News Media's control throughout the entire saga wouldn't make that much sense). Now, when the Smg4 Castle was finished being built, The MK News Media would start affecting both the characters and even the very writing of the smg4 universe itself by giving the background characters specific roles in mr.puzzles's shows (like wotfi 2023 (upper top right of image 7)), and causing certain characters like Mario to behave VERY OUT OF CHARACTER, with a few examples of this being shown during the events of both Mario goes coo-coo crazy (lower top right of image 7), and Wotfi 2023 (upper bottom right of image 7). Now in these episodes, Mario would act in a controlled and somewhat malicious manner in the former episode, and in a completely malicious manner in the latter episode, with these behaviors being caused by The MK News Media controlling him like a puppet on strings, while mario is no longer in control of his own actions.
Now, while everything was going perfectly for the MK News Media at this point in their plan, one of their employees ABSOLUTELY DESPISED what they were doing, and would hack into Tari's arm one day, calling himself "Clench" (lower bottom right of image 7). You see, through this persona, he would start his plan to take down the MK News Media by helping Tari while keeping a low profile so that MK News Media doesn't figure out who he is (evidence for this point is clearly shown when we see clench turn himself off twice in "No TV Makes Mario No Okie Dokie" when mr.puzzles makes himself known near the start of the episode (upper top left of image 8), and when the rest of the smg4 cast is running away from mario while heading towards the basement near the episode's end (lower top left of image 8)). Later on in his plan, he would try to convince Tari to go through the boarded-up door and destroy the object behind it, so that all of this insanity can FINALLY come to an end. However, the second half of clench's plan hasn't happened just yet, BUT we can look at all of the events that lead up to where we are now at the time of writing this, so with this in mind, let's begin by going over the 5-part puzzlevision event.
Now, sometime after clench would start the first part of his plan, mr.puzzles would begin to finish executing his own plan by sucking the smg4 cast into his head so he can make his puzzlevision tv shows. During which, he would ask for great reviews for his shows (upper bottom left of image 8), and while he'd get really good reviews, it wasn't the 5 star rating he wanted, and the MK News Media wasn't helping matters whatsoever, because their news headlines and control over the smg4 universe would slowly cause mr.puzzles to hit his limit at the time of MPIGSS. You see, we're made to believe that we are the ones slowly lowering mr.puzzles's ratings throughout the episode (lower bottom left of image 8). However, we are unable to rate puzzlevision episodes until AFTER they come out (upper top right of image 8), so it's more than likely that the MK News Media is rating mr.puzzles's show here, and considering that it's likely them rating MPIGSS, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if mr.puzzles made a deal with them in order to continue making entertainment after the smg4 crew would defeat him, and this potential deal is something we can see being hinted towards in the puzzlevision movie.
You see, while the movie starts out with him going crazy while hearing the review by the MK News Media, he somehow maintains his composure to an eerie degree throughout the puzzlevision movie (bottom right of image 8), and strangely, mario spends most of the film not really doing all that much (lower top right of image 8), almost as if a higher power won't let him defeat mr.puzzles. Hell, Mr. Puzzles LITERALLY makes Luigi into a meat mallet despite him intending to kill the cast (top left of image 9), which potentially hints towards him playing a bigger role than we thought with the MK News Media, and there's more still going with these two entities potentially working together, but for now, let's head into the role that MK News Media had in the events of "SMG4 doesn't meme for one second", a seemingly innocent smg4 episode that hides a lot of potential evidence beneath the surface.
You see, in this episode we see multiple instances of things in this episode that don't just feel off, they feel, VERY off. You see, this episode starts out with the episode's opening showing a horror movie esc sequence (bottom left of image 9) right before we see smg4 coming across a meme of a spinning fish that causes him to go completely bonkers (top right of image 9). All the while, glitching and static briefly appear and dissappear on screen (bottom right of image 9). Now I shouldn't have to explain why this instance of both glitching and static is important at this point, because we all now that it's an indicator of mr.puzzl- WAIT A DAMN SECOND..... Mr.Puzzles is inactive at the time of this episode, meaning that this couldn't have been him, which also means that.... OH.... OH GOD! Mr.puzzles wasn't the only entity behind the static and glitching in the smg4 universe, and considering that the MK News Media is STILL ACTIVE at this point, then it means that the MK News Media is more than likely responsible for the glitching and static here as well as some other instances of it in the smg4 universe, which is valid evidence towards my earlier point regarding IMWTLMOE and the static at the start of the youtube arc. Now with this in mind, we can head into the next off feeling moment in the episode, which is the behavior of the smg4 cast towards smg4 in the episode's first half (upper top left of image 10). You see, the smg4 cast treats smg4 in a pretty similar way to how mario was treated in IMWTLMOE (as shown in the scene at the lower top left of image 10), and considering just how many times I've talked about this episode before, I seriously don't think I have to go over it again, so let's head into the next off instance in the episode. Now the third off instance in this episode occurs when meggy is showing smg4 some rorschach tests, and when she shows smg4 one of them, we see the subtitles show the extra words "crowd clap" between the words remind and of (upper bottom left of image 10), which is bizarre to say the least, even by smg4 standards, and I already know that some of you are saying that this is just an error on smg4's end, but here’s the thing my dear reader, I know errors in entertainment VERY well. In-fact, I have personal experience as an animator myself, and I can CONFIDENTLY say that I've never seen an "error" like this before in any sort of media I've seen or made, and believe it or not, the closest thing I've seen to an error like this is usually a translation error (examples at the lower bottom left of image 10), or someone typing out a story in English after using their first learned language (that isn't English), but there's a difference between a translation error and the supposed error we're seeing here. You see, translation errors and second language english versions of media tend to have more than one spelling or grammar error throughout its sentences or paragraphs, meaning that this supposed error has nothing to do with translation. Now this leaves another question, "if this isn't that kind of error, then what about it potentially being an auto-correct/auto-fill or dictation error (examples of dictation errors at the upper top right of image 10)? Well that would've potentially been the case if it wasn't for the fact that not only are the words crowd and clap way more different than remind and of, but also due to the fact that THERE ISN'T A SPACE AFTER THE WORD CLAP, meaning that it likely isn't a dictation or autocorrect/auto-fill error either. Meaning that this MUST be completely intentional on smg4's part (aside from the missing space between clap and of, for obvious reasons), but here’s the thing, aside from potentially asking us to clap (for some reason), I'm completely unsure as to what the significance of this is, but I'll definitely be keeping it for future use if needed.
Anyways, the final off instance in this episode is that the plot of the episode contradicts itself in the final act as boopkins says that his grandma had died (lower bottom right of image 10), and not his aunt as stated earlier on in this episode (upper bottom right of image 10), which, like the supposed error mentioned earlier, is bizarre, even by smg4 standards. However, I have a slightly crazy, yet plausible explanation for this. You see, I believe that this scene, and by extension, the episode itself are a sort of hidden warning as to what the quality of smg4 episodes will end up being like with the MK News Media in control, with the quality in particular being very bad with plot contradictions, unnecessary "fan service" (as shown with smg4 being abused (upper top left of image 11) (keep in mind that smg4 is now the most hated smg4 character in the fandom (evidence for smg4 being hated is shown at the lower bottom right of image 10)) instead of mario (lower top left of image 11)), and bad humor (upper bottom left of image 11) while still featuring new ideas, which is definitely a horrifying concept if you ask me. Anyways, that should cover the role that MK News Media had in that episode, meaning that we can now discuss the other episode that would cause me to get off of my break early to begin with, "Mario The Exploro."
Now this episode surprisingly only has two major points of note, the first of which being at the very start of the episode itself. During which, we see mario suddenly bring in the puzzlevision TV (lower bottom left of image 11) DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE SAGA'S 4TH ACT! Now I'm pretty sure I REALLY don't need to explain why this is a MASSIVE PLOT CONTRADICTION, so I'll go ahead and explain why mario was behaving like this at the start of the video. You see, I believe the reason as to why mario was behaving like this at the start of the episode mainly involves not only the boarded-up door, but also the deal between mr.puzzles and the MK News Media. Now, as I discussed earlier, the object of power behind the boarded-up door allows the MK News Media to control almost every single element in the smg4 universe, including mario, and the deal that mr.puzzles and the MK News Media made would let mr.puzzles continue to make entertainment after the events of the puzzlevision movie. This means that the MK News Media used mario to grab mr.puzzles's TV head after the events of the puzzlevision movie, which finished the deal that the two entities agreed on, but there's something else I should mention before getting onto the other point of interest in this episode, this being that mr.puzzles is still interested in taking over smg4's channel (upper top right of image 11). Now with this in mind I have two equally plausible predictions as for what this could lead into. You see, explanation/prediction one is that the MK News Media knew that this would happen, meaning that mr.puzzles would be nothing but a distraction for the smg4 cast so that they don't learn what's truly going on from behind the scenes. Now, explanation/prediction number 2 is far more interesting because it suggests that mr.puzzles could be trying to takeover the smg4 channel this time around, so he can destroy the MK News Media out of revenge for the ratings that MK News gave his shows. This would give mr.puzzles a kind of semi-redemption arc where despite being a reoccurring antagonist, he would not only get potential closure over his past (if foul play was involved in his past), but it would also prove to the smg4 cast that he isn't 100% evil, giving a great ending to a fan favorite smg4 character. Now currently, I'm unsure about which explanation is more likely, but I'll hopefully bring up one of these ideas again in a future theory once more evidence is available. Speaking of which, I should move onto the other major point of note in this episode, that being mr.puzzles's character feeling off, almost as if he's a different character altogether. You see, when we see mr.puzzles, he acts far less malicious than he ever was during the adware saga, and instead of being a complete control-freak like how he was before (lower top right of image 11), he is now obsessive over smg4 and wants to give him ideas (upper bottom right of image 11) instead of forcing smg4 to do these ideas against his will, which is a complete 180 from what we saw in the adware saga. Now, this could potentially mean that mr.puzzles MIGHT have been replaced by somebody else entirely. However I believe that this is too much of a stretch, even by my standards, so I'll be leaving this point up for discussion later on if it EVER becomes relevant in the future. Anyways, with that one last point of discussion finished in what I believe the role of the MK News Media has been in the smg4 timeline, we can move onto the evidence for everything that I've discussed in this section of the theory, so let's begin.
Now when discussing the evidence for this section of the theory, I want to start by continuing a kind of tradition in my theories, that being similarities between some of the points of discussion, the predictions for them, and certain well known pieces of media, and yes, we're going over The Truman Show yet again, but for different reasons than you may expect. You see, one of the main reasons why I made this theory the way I did actually involves a certain element of The Truman Show, this being the media shown on the set of The Truman Show itself. Now, there's quite a bit of media in The Truman Show, which ranges from things that are very common nowadays like news segments on tv (Note: APPARENTLY, some nutcase at youtube made it so you can't screenshot certain moments from the film, meaning that I'm unable to supply images for some of these points), or things as old as newspapers (lower bottom right of image 11), BUT they all served the same purpose, MAKING SURE THAT TRUMAN DOESN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S TRULY GOING ON. Now, normally I'd bring up how the MK News Media is doing something similar by making sure that the smg4 cast doesn't figure out what's truly going on. HOWEVER, in order to better line it up with the stronger details shown in and after the adware saga, I have decided that instead, I'm going to compare it to the intentions of the MK News Media when regarding the ratings that mr.puzzles recieves throughout the 5-part finale to the adware saga. You see, as I've explained earlier, at the time of the 5-part adware saga finale, the MK News Media was trying to push mr.puzzles into acting the way he does at the time of the puzzlevision movie through the use of news, other media and ratings, which is very similar if not, near identical to what I was explaining earlier when regarding the truman show, which further strengthens my prediction regarding how the MK News Media is using their control over information to cause certain events in the smg4 universe, but this isn't the only similarity that the evidence and my predictions have to The Truman Show. You see, the other major similarity to the truman show that I'd like to discuss is how similar mr.puzzles's return is to that of the return of Truman's "father." You see, in the latter half of the Truman Show's second act, we see Truman's "father", re-appear out of nowhere for ratings (upper top left of image 12) despite the fact that TRUMAN LITERALLY SAW HIM "DIE" WHEN HE WAS A KID (lower top left of image 12), as well as his return genuinely not making that much sense when you consider that truman saw his supposed "father" earlier on in the film (upper bottom left of image 12). Now, you're probably wondering why I'm bringing up this VERY specific scene of the truman show up in my evidence for this theory, and my answer to this is that the return of Truman's "father" is pretty similar to how mr.puzzles returned in the episode "Mario The Exploro." You see, when mr.puzzles returned in Mario The Exploro, his return didn't make all that much sense when you begin to think about it, because not only did mr.puzzles return through the use of mario, a character who actively antagonized him in his shows and wanted to beat the snot out of him during the events of the puzzlevision movie (upper top right of image 12), but also because of the fact that he returned A SINGLE MONTH AFTER THE PUZZLEVISION MOVIE (lower top right of image 12) with barely any build-up towards his return outside of a few community posts (which I'm sure you've seen), which makes his return feel forced, but considering that mr.puzzles's return is pretty similar to what I described earlier regarding the return of Truman's "father," then what if it being forced was the ENTIRE point. After all, if mr.puzzles was just meant to be a distraction for the smg4 cast in order to make sure that they don't figure out that The MK News Media is truly responsible for the events of the adware saga, then mr.puzzles's return a mere month after the adware saga would make perfect sense, strengthening my prediction regarding mr.puzzles's true role in the The MK News Media's grand plan. Anyways, that should cover all the similarities to The Truman Show, so let's head into the rest of the evidence for my predictions in this theory.
Now, you might be wondering why I chose VERY SPECIFIC dates when discussing the fall of the original MK News Media, and believe it or not, I specifically chose the dates in-question (the anime, Rapper Bob, and waluigi arc) because of not only the amount of presence the mushroom kingdom news media had at these times, but also due to some other lesser details that go with it as well. You see, The MK News Media had a decent presence in the waluigi arc, as shown in the waluigi apocalypse, where we see a news reporter discussing the waluigi apocalypse at the start of the episode (upper bottom right of image 12). Now, when it comes to the Rapper Bob arc, we actually don't see the MK news media show up at any point during the arc. Which hints towards them potentially being at risk of bankruptcy at this point in time, which would make a whole lot of sense considering that Rapper Bob was quite literally, the most famous person in the mushroom kingdom during that arc. Now, the anime arc is definitely the most interesting when it comes to the evidence for this theory. This is because we not only see the MK News Media going over how anime is destroying the mushroom kingdom right before peach makes anime illegal, but also because of a small yet very important detail being shown here: THE NEWS REPORTER IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST ONE! (Lower bottom of image 12) The fact that the old news reporter is completely absent during the news discussing anime is a massive red flag for me personally, because if the original employees weren't replaced, then why is KERMIT THE FLIPPING FROG DOING THE NEWS?! It almost seems intentional on smg4's part, which could be the case given that the genesis arc would happen a year or two later, where we'd learn what happened to the multicolored marios. However, the news reporter no longer being there still does strengthen my theory, meaning that it can be used as genuine evidence. Alright, that should finish off the evidence for the dates discussing the fall of the MK News Media, so let's get into the next category of evidence in this section.
Now, when it comes to my evidence as to why the MK News Media would be responsible for mr.puzzles's origins (as mentioned in part one), it mainly involves two inconsistencies with his backstory. You see, mr.puzzles stated that he got his tv head because he apparently decapitated himself before putting a TV where his head used to be (top left of image 13), but there's one major problem with this. You see, when someone is decapitated, they aren't able to control their body (upper bottom left of image 13) (note: it's also implied in the film that mr.puzzles came from a reality like ours, which is makes this inconsistency STAND OUT EVEN MORE (lower bottom left of image 13)), meaning that mr.puzzles wouldn't have been able to put a tv where his head once was, which also means that it's pretty unlikely that he was the person who put the tv in the place of his decapitated head. However, if the MK News Media was somehow able to put the tv where his head used to be, instead of mr.puzzles himself, then mr.puzzles surviving his decapitation would make way more sense in the long run. Now, this brings me into the other inconsistency with mr.puzzles's backstory: If mr.puzzles's tv head was just an average tv that he managed to hook up to where his head used to be, then why does it have ELDRITCH POWERS?! (upper top right of image 13) My answer for this question is that I believe it's HIGHLY likely that The MK News Media gave mr.puzzles his eldritch head to begin with, because it not only would line up perfectly with what I was describing earlier on in this theory regarding the MK News Media, but also because it would explain why the word "Puzzlevision" is on his head to begin with (lower top right of image 13), because it wouldn't make that much sense for mr.puzzles to name his streaming service after the word on his head (uppwd bottom of image 13). Further proving that mr.puzzles's head came from the MK News Media, as well as strengthening my theory.
Now when it comes to my evidence regarding the involvement the MK News Media had in prior events, it mainly lies with how the specific events in question play out. You see, in the first example I mentioned, "Mario's Spicy day," smg4 doesn't try to stop smg3 until he sees smg3's spicy ones video. Now, normally, this wouldn't be all that suspicious. HOWEVER, smg3's video was the only video in his feed (aside from the video he was watching beforehand), which is insanely suspicious, because it subtly implies potential foul play by another entity, which is further strengthened by the glitch that shows up on his computer right before the video plays. Originally, I thought that the static in this scene was caused by mr.puzzles. However, considering that there's evidence towards the MK News Media also being a culprit of the glitches, then it's highly likely that they were the ones responsible for the glitching shown in this scene. Now I've already explained the example with peach and the anime ban, so let's discuss how the MK News Media was responsible for lawyer kong's knowledge of smg4's origins. You see, as I discussed in one of my last theories before I went on break, we NEVER truly learn how lawyer kong obtained his knowledge of smg4's past, or why he didn't decide to go after the meme guardian until after the genesis arc. However, there's a subtle hint towards how he gained his knowledge when we see him show Miyamoto a video while explaining to him what smg4's arrival in the mushroom kingdom caused. You see, right before the video plays we can catch a brief instance of static on lawyer kong's smart device (lower bottom right of image 13), which hints towards another entity potentially giving lawyer kong this information, and like the previous example, I originally thought that mr.puzzles was responsible for this instance, but with the MK News Media also being responsible for some of the static instances in the smg4 timeline, then it's likely that they are responsible for this one as well. Now, when it comes to the last 2 prior events that I connected to the MK News Media earlier on in this theory (IMWTLMOE, and Clown Fever), I actually don't want to discuss how the MK News Media would be responsible for these events because I've gone over these two episodes many times before (especially the former). However, I do want to discuss why the MK News Media would eventually choose to scrap these potential storylines because it actually involves us, aka the viewers. You see, the viewers or in other words, us, seem to be the strongest entities in the smg4 universe because our negative reactions to the lawsuit arc and character redesigns (top of image 14) would end up changing the smg4 universe forever by setting the events of IGBP, and the adware saga in motion (bottom of image 14), and considering that we caused IGBP to happen in the first place, then it's highly likely that our negative reactions to IMWTLMOE and Clown Fever would cause their potential arcs to be scrapped. After all, IMWTLMOE is literally the second lowest rated (on IMDB) smg4 episode ever made, and clown fever was criticized because the clown fever in the episode was too similar to the T-Pose Virus, so it would genuinely make a ton of sense that our negative reactions would cause these storylines to be scrapped. Now, that should cover all of the other pieces of evidence that I have for this theory, but I do want to mention some final predictions that I have for the next major arc/saga in the greater current storyline that we're in.
You see, I believe that the next major part in the current greater storyline is going to be an arc and not a saga. You see, if I'm right about what I mentioned earlier on in this theory, then the story that's going to be told will be too short for it to be a saga, due to it likely being somewhat similar to how the revelations arc played out. In other words, the story will be shorter, building upon what came before in the adware saga, will close up any remaining loose ends from the adware saga, introduce a threat greater than that of the original antagonist, and end the storyline on a very satisfying note. Now, I also believe that this arc is likely going to be 7 episodes long, mainly because it feels like the right amount of episodes needed for this final chapter of the greater storyline, which would give ample time to close off the remaining loose ends while also building off of what we already have from the adware saga. Finally, I believe that the true finale of this storyline will probably be a movie instead of meme games or wotfi 2024. This is because the meme games happens in July, and considering that it's late may as I'm currently writing this, then it's pretty unlikely that the greater storyline will conclude with meme games 2024. As for wotfi 2024, it'd likely be too far off for it to be the saga's finale due to Wotfi usually happening in October, and considering that mr.puzzles has returned already, then it'd be pretty unlikely for the finale to be wotfi 2024, meaning that the finale being a movie is the most likely option. And that should be everything that I wanted to cover, thank you for reading.

2024.05.28 02:42 TemptingScenario I’m jealous of my younger sister and it feels wrong.

Dad, my younger sister seems to get everything she wants in life and more.
I went to a good college, graduated in 3.5 years and have struggled ever since career wise, I took a big step back recently but am thankful to at least have a job.
My sister graduated in 4 years from a local college, immediately lands an amazing job through family friends, she makes more money than me, get to work from home and has extremely flexible hours.
I’m frustrated, I’ve done everything by the book and yet I’ve struggle for YEARS just to end up where my sister is right out of college.
I commute every day to work for a job paying less than hers, I used to have that luxury of working from home and miss it every day. Here it is handed to my sister on a silver plater, she has more friends than me, a better social life, and now a better job making more money with all the perks I wish I had.
I love my sister and I’m sad I’m even feeling these ways towards her, I know it’s more so about me than it is her - but it’s just so frustrating that I try to do everything in my power to set myself up for success and I fail, while everything seems to fall right into her lap.
I’m considering going back to school and getting a masters degree, however deep down I know that even though this is something that supposedly will help me make more money and have leverage in my career, it won’t work out for me like I’m hoping it will, because it feels like nothing In life every really does for me.
I hate this feeling and want it to go away, I know I could just search for a new job but I’ve tried and it’s not as easy as it seems to have been for my sister, or even my peers.
I’m defeated and feel like a loser, my sister accomplished what’s taken me 4 years in 4 months. It’s hard not to feel like a loser, treading water but going nowhere.

2024.05.28 02:37 Agreeable_Gap_1620 The Story of Ova Orangecult

In time immemorial, the elves, eternal guardians of the forests and worshipers of the elemental forces that permeate the world of the Dimension of Prophecy, were not always friendly with other civilizations. However, among them, the Cyclones of Society of maintained a peculiar relationship with the dwarves of the Scarlet Sword, respecting them and participating in their festivals, but never delving deeply into their customs.
This is how we know Ova, Orangecult. Born in the year 32, the ninth daughter of Amiya Playedcherished, queen of cyclones, Ova was distinguished by her insatiable curiosity. In 47, she was kidnapped by goblins from The Curses of Suffering and imprisoned in the dark fortress Whimsdoomed. Due to an oversight, he managed to escape and return to the safety of his home.
This event left a deep impression on Ova. In 50, he became an herbalist, but his mind remained distracted. Her mother, realizing this, took her to the Festival of the Keys in Laudedgravel, reviving her spirit. In the year 55, he began a romance with his childhood friend Thithu Fogtrampled, marrying him in 63.
Ova and Thithu left their homeland, living in various regions of their civilization. In 71, in Styleplan, Ova discovered dance, influenced by her father, a renowned dancer from the north. In Styleplan, he met Amayi, a dance master and former mentor of his father. Together, in 88, they founded the performance group The Handy Yore, bringing joy wherever they went.
Rumors of a new fortress of the Scarlet Sword, embroiled in war with the goblins of The Mean Scorpion, attracted Ova. Upon arriving in such a place, she fell in love with the culture of the dwarves, being the first elf to fully understand their lifestyle. In the spring of 104, he settled permanently in Workmirror, gaining citizenship and influencing his master and group to do the same.
Immersed in dwarven ways, Ova distinguished herself in combat during a gonlin siege against the fortress in the same year. With years of improvement, she became a formidable swordsman, and in the early summer of 110, she became captain of the Workmirror guard.
Ova, powerful and feared, used her grace as a dancer with sword and shield, being lethal in combat. His most iconic battle was against Mesm Rushice the Tragic, the best goblin strategist. They fought for two days, with Ova emerging victorious, although the goblin managed to escape, but that defeat prevented an important advance by the goblins in the region. This event reaffirmed her importance to Workmirror and the Scarlet Sword, and further reinforcing this she abandoned the Cyclones of Society to dedicate herself completely to the Scarlet Sword and the fortress that was now her home.
Ova also became famous for eliminating the thief Okgush Girlishclapped, Ova unmasked her while disguised as Kifino Waveyoung in the fortress. Noticing her suspicious activities, Ova eliminated her in one fell swoop, putting an end to her crimes.
Unfortunately, like all stories in Dwarf Fortress, Ova's story came to an end in the late summer of 111. During the invasion of Zitha Boneechoes the Ashen Cave, a forgotten beast, Ova fought valiantly but was consumed by a mortal fireball, with only his weapons and armor remaining. Even witnessing her death by the beast's fire, the game says that Ova's death was caused by the psychopathic child Mistem Furnacerumors the Ivory Silence, who, dissatisfied with the fortress, apparently attracted the powerful beast, but that is a story for another time.
The dwarves of Workmirror, in gratitude, would build a statue in his honor in the Library of Memory, so that his bravery and sacrifice would be eternally remembered. So that everyone would always remember the Elf who lived and died as a Dwarf.
May Kerlig, deity of fortresses, welcome Ova with open arms!

2024.05.28 02:35 H-In-S-Productions Hello! On 22 May, the Commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, Denis "WhiteRex", issued a statement commemorating the anniversary of the first FoRL/RVC operation in Belgorod Oblast.

Hello! On 22 May, the Commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps, Denis
The following post is translated from https:// t. me/ russvolcorps/ 1000
https://preview.redd.it/t8bps6zib23d1.jpg?width=455&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=871a6fd4c930348fa24c326cf55df95fb67eac5c
Russian Volunteer Corps
In English (translated by u/H-in-S-Productions**, Info-Legionnaire; my own notes in brackets):**
Exactly a year ago, our still small squad attacked a monster! The Russian Volunteer Corps invaded the Russian Federation! And this attack turned out to be spectacular, swift and tangible for Putin’s RF [Russian Federation] and the whole world. Without exaggeration, all the leading international media [https:// t. me/russvolcorps/ 549] came to us and lined up to interview the Corps fighters! Liberal journalists were noticeably cringed by the fact that they had to literally kneel in order to stick their microphones closer to us, the nationalists they hated, and cover our triumph! I will always remember these feelings. And they probably do too. After our resounding success on March 2, it was important for us to show the world not only our audacity, but also to provide a tangible military result, to prove that we are not a “gang”, and our success is not accidental, and we did it: behind us was a brand new BTR-82A, which was stolen by my first deputy in battle, Danya “Puck” [see this famous video], and the area that we temporarily took control of was larger than Bakhmut! The whole General Lapin will then run around Grayvoron, in stupid attempts to cosplay the commanders of the Red Army, on Rostov TV they will tell how we were “destroyed and defeated,” and we will feast and celebrate! Everyone was eager to fight then and were equally ready to fight the enemy who was abandoning positions or to take out the wounded. We “caught” the first KABs, collected trophies, drove the enemy and took control of square meters of our native land, while the whole world watched it live. Thank you to everyone who rooted for us, who supported us, and, of course, thank you, my brave warriors! Ready to storm the skies with you!
Not all participants in those events are alive, but they are still in service next to us and will be with us until victory. Without exception, all of you, living or dead, you are forever with me, and I am with you. Your commander, Denis WhiteRex.
Glory to the RVC!
Glory to Rus'!
In Russian:
Ровно год назад наш ещё небольшой совсем отряд напал на монстра! Русский Добровольческий Корпус вторгся в Российскую Федерацию! И нападение это получилось эффектным, стремительным и ощутимым для путинской РФ и всего мира. Без преувеличения все ведущие международные СМИ [https://t . me/ russvolcorps/ 549] приехали к нам и выстроились в очередь, чтобы взять интервью у бойцов Корпуса! Либеральных журналистов ощутимо корёжило от того, что им нужно было буквально стоять на коленях, дабы поближе просунуть свои микрофоны к нам, ненавистным им националистам, и освещать наш триумф! Я навсегда запомню эти ощущения. И они, наверняка, тоже. После нашего громогласного успеха 2 марта, нам важно было показать миру не только нашу дерзость, но и предоставить осязаемый военный результат, доказать, что мы не «банда», а успех нах не случаен, и мы это сделали: за нашими спинами красовался новенький БТР82А, который угнал мой первый зам по бою Даня «Шайба», а площадь, которую мы временно взяли под контроль была больше всего Бахмута! Целый генерал Лапин будет потом бегать по Грайворону, в глупых попытках косплеить комадармов РККА, по росТВ расскажут, как нас «уничтожили и победили», а мы будем пировать и праздновать! Все рвались в бой тогда и были одинаково готовы рубиться с бросавшим позиции врагом или вывозить раненых. Мы «ловили» первые КАБы, собирали трофеи, гнали врага и брали под контроль квадратные метры родной земли, пока весь мир следил за этим в прямом эфире. Спасибо всем, кто за нас болел, кто нас поддерживал, и, конечно, спасибо вам, мои храбрые воины! С вами готов штурмовать небеса!
Уже не все участники тех событий живы, но они по-прежнему в строю рядом с нами и будут с нами до победы. Без исключения все вы, живые или мёртвые, вы навсегда со мной, а я - с вами. Ваш командир, Денис WhiteRex.
Слава РДК! Слава Руси!

2024.05.28 02:33 CommonSubstantial351 Season 7/reboot is so far the worst

I had no faith in series 2nd attempt back, 1st being 2013 which many myself deemed to be the worst. So far 3 episodes are out and I've seen them and it was awful to watch. If I compare it to the Megamind TV show/movie. Here is why it's terrible and one of the worst reboots ever.
  1. It reduces the TS brand to a Nick jr show. It makes S1 look like a family guy. They made the trio act like 5 years old despite their adults. The main villain of the first episode is Kid (aka the main target demographic). Any edge, seriousness, stakes, or toughness, is gone. It's all cute sunshine and rainbows. Could you just look at the website it's hosted on offer? Why not Netlfix like normal people would? TV channels/websites really in 2024?
  2. It's so safe clean sterile bland that doesn't offend anyone. No death, blood, brutality, drugs, or any mature themes that even animated series have. Even the animation is so bright and shiny that it looks like Nick live action show
  3. Animation borrowed from Lolirock a failed TV show which itself was a failed attempt at coping MLP. Like S6 reused movie animation and it looks bad. Uncanny Valley is bad.
  4. Misleading marketing. This S7 didn't change a thing. It was all a lie.
  5. It still used a formula with no change. You can easily predict it.
  6. Sam+Mandy now have a gamer girl persona and it's so out of touch that I predict the suits in France are going to pull out. They only did it because the writer is away how boring the weakest link Sam. Even the show is self-aware at times how boring she is. The gamer thing pisses me off on so many levels I don't know where to begin. Why didn't they do this first when it was already popular? The first PlayStation and Gameboy sold 100m units. They only did this because they did a compare market study in 2018 wtf. They added in and still couldn't get right. It was made by people who never play a video game in their lives. So don't expect Trio and other to play Call of Duty or GTA. It screams how do you fellow kids. And these are supposed to be a relatable trio.
  7. Re uses recycles villains' plots again for the 10th time. This week's episode is proven. A female villain steel talent. This has been a crapy remake of the camping episode. STOP BEING COMPLETELY BANKRUPT
  8. Slow boring action. It's someone who made S1 action, chase, fight, and drama look like modern-day anime. It's so slow.
  9. Recon of the recons. The show dropped super spy branding. Ignores S5 ending. Where Mindy?
  10. Why does this even exist? It's an IP that struggled since 2010. It couldn't compete with new quality shows with a strong large dedicated fanbase. Like MLP, Regular shows, Adventure Time, Gumball, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Avatar, and Archer. Anime on its own has been popular even back then and now it's on a whole new level. For a show claiming to be anime-inspired, it's not. That's a big lie. It's a French masquerading as a US show with little risk in creativity. 1st attempt comeback flopped so hard that it's the reason it took 11 years for another season but learned nothing. Compare this to a 5-year gap. It's insulting to the audience because they have failed before. The spinoff that no one remembers, the movie that bombed at the box office. But they don't care. TS fans wanted to see something new and different interesting but instead, a dated product stuck in era where it was okay to put out mediocre laziness disguised as a toy ad.
When anyone can watch the best animation has to offer for free. Compare quality animation, amazing real gut-punching action, drilling fight, mature story, and great music. It ignored over 20+ years of industry. It acts like streaming doesn't exist. Still, use TV channel format which wasn't a thing anymore for a decade. What is the point of reboot when it doesn't understand the word? It doesn't add much to the series. Nor does it impact. It repeats the same thing S1-6 did. Any Kid can go to TikTok and watch fantastic anime edits that make them want to watch those shows.
Anime today is popular because it's not on TV channels but because it's on streaming and piracy. Keep in mind this not just a review but an analysis. I do think the show production proved to the French animation industry is weak. Ladybug on its own is the worst made by same people who worked on TS. main character is mix of the trio. Both are similar. But Marriete get well-deserved criticism while Trio doesn't.
Mandy won't return as Spy and make peace. That my guess
Just watch Spy Family it's way better and S tier. Yor would destroy the trio

2024.05.28 02:29 Enjoi-Steez Can a custom game go to NG+ ?

Played during beta and up until 1.0 with some friends on xbox and then forgot about it. Picked up the fully yoked nintendo switch version a couple days ago. Created a normal new yard and played quite a bit, built a base, explored the labs, and I think I got to around 25 days in game. I then found the custom game settings started messing with them to figure out wtf a handy gnat is. Fast forward and the save file is at 92 days and im getting ready to do my first boss fight.
My question is when a custom game yard finishes the main questline and defeats the bosses. Can it go into new game+?

2024.05.28 02:21 MikeLovesOutdoors23 Concrete reflections and obsessions

Girl 1: Fear level beyond totality
Help me. Anyone? Can you hear me through the concrete? I can't go near it. I hate concrete. It's terrifying when it moves. It's terrifying when it doesn't. I can't take it. There's too much concrete. It's everywhere. The roads, the walls, the basement floors. It's only growing. Statues, oh god, the statues. So heavy, so dense. I hate the ones that move. They are the worst. They hurt people. They hurt me. Walking towards me, it wraps it's cold, hard, concrete arms around my neck, and it stays like that. It presses it's body against me, making me feel the hard material. It hurts. The concrete arms dig into my back now. It attempts to rub my back with it's large hands, but it doesn't know that the rough concrete hurts against my skin. Get me out of it's arms! I don't care what it wants. Each gentle pat on my back feels like a heavy cold weight thrown against me. I don't want to be in the embrace of concrete. This is why I avoid it. I can't go outside. The driveway… the hot, concrete driveway…
I have made it so that the walls in my house are made of anything but concrete. My basement has metal floors, covered with carpet. The carpets exist so I don't have to feel the cold metal under my feet. The cold reminds me of concrete. But I would rather feel cold metal than concrete.
Get me out of here!!! The walls are surrounding me. Concrete on all sides. It's getting closer. I can see the sky, but the rest is concrete. These four walls, all of them, concrete. The ground, water. I'm in the air. But the water is filling with concrete. It's coming up to me. The walls are getting higher and higher. They are curving inward. Oh god, it's forming a ceiling. But it isn't coming down to meet me. Pretty soon I won't be able to see the beautiful sky anymore. Fuck! The water, it's getting thicker. Wet concrete. Easy to get stuck in concrete when it is wet. Then it hardens and your stuck there. Forever. No! No no no!!! Get me out of the walls. I'm that thing living in the walls. You know, they talk about the critters living in your walls? That's me. Let me out!!! I'm scared, because the walls in your house are made of concrete.
You know about road construction? Why can't they just dig up the road and leave it? They defeated the concrete. They destroyed it! Then they fill that hole with more of that goddamn concrete. Why? We don't need it. Dirt roads are perfect the way they are. Then someone had to cover it up with concrete. And by covering it up with concrete, you uncovered my fear. Get me out of this concrete world. Before I get crushed by these concrete walls. The water is thickening up now, and from the sliver of light that I can see between the mending cracks in the growing concrete ceiling, it's not going to rain any time soon.
Girl 2: A concrete obsession I can see the walls around me. Concrete walls. They are moving, isn't that weird? I need something to eat. Fruit snacks. Yes. And to drink? Soda. Maybe. If it doesn't turn into concrete first. Concrete soda. Hmm. I'm eating my snack. I drink the soda in front of me, with a straw. A concrete straw. I taste the cool refreshing soda before it turns into concrete as I swollow it. The thick concrete hardening as it goes down my throat. Ugh. Never drinking soda again. Concrete is heavy, especially when it goes down your throat and into your stomach. Coating the walls. I need to take a shower, I have to get this concrete out of me. I walk into the bathroom. I get in the shower, the concrete walls on three sides of me. The showerhead made of some unknown material. Probably some form of concrete. I turn the shower on. Water rains down, hardening as it falls. Concrete showers. The grey water falling thicker every second. The wet concrete drying against my skin. A second skin is forming. Concrete skin.
I run out of the shower. I turn the concrete handle and it stops raining. I dry the already dried second skin with a very heavy towel. I hear the sounds of concrete against concrete as I dry off. I feel like one of Medusa's victems. You know her, right? The lady that turns you into concrete. But people keep telling me it's stone. But stone is hard like concrete, so it is concrete, not stone. Medusa is made of concrete too. Exactly like SCP173, that concrete sculpture thing over there. You have to look at it. Keep looking at it. If you don't, it will snap your neck and turn you into concrete like Medusa. That other concrete sculpture holds me sometimes. But it also holds the other girls. I know them from somewhere. Sisters? Friends? That sculpture is a girl. A concrete girl. It's me, when I got out of the shower. It's me in the future. Another verssion. Another me. A concrete me.
My friend keeps telling me that Medusa turns people into stone. I know the truth, she turns people into concrete. Because everything is, and will be, concrete. The walls are closing in. They keep doing that for some reason. It looks like there will be a ceiling too. A concrete one of course. It's just an extention of the wall. You know how concrete is made, right? It's made with water and sand or something like that. Concrete is wet at first. It's a very thick substance. After it is made, it has to set. It will harden over time, and that is what makes concrete hard and strong. I know this because it's happening under me right now. The river is turning into concrete. It was water, but now it's thicker than that.
Have you ever heard someone say that if you jump off a bridge, when you land in the water, it will feel like you are landing on concrete? That's because it turned into concrete. But then it somehow turns back into water again. I told you, concrete is weird, but it's fascinating. I just hope I don't fall in the water. It looks pretty thick from up here. It's not blue like the sky anymore. It never was blue. It never was clear either. It has always been concrete at heart. Concrete hearts… that sounds like a good name for a band. But now I have a question. What if your heart was made out of concrete? Would it still be able to beat? The heart would probably have a difficult time, but I think it could work. You got this, concrete heart! Keep beating! The statue has to stay alive!
Statues aren't the only thing that's alive. There are other concrete things. Even concrete itself can be alive. I mean, just look at that thing. The large mass of concrete over there. Look at it move. It just moves along the ground, slowly moving up and down over the city. Up over the tree, and down to the ground again. It's moving slowly towards that girl. She looks terrified, and she can't move. She's going to be burried under all that concrete. That living concrete. I feel bad for her. I knew her once, but now I don't remember. Maybe that's Medusa. It would serve her right. She shouldn't have turned everyone into concrete. She's getting buried now. The concrete is rolling on top of her like a heavy blanket. Go to sleep, concrete Medusa 173 girl.
Have you ever layed in your bed, and the blanket that is over you becomes heavier? It might be a weighted blanket, but you don't remember buying one. You just bought a blanket. A blanket that is getting heavier and heavier. It's not really soft anymore either. It's harder, almost like… concrete. You are sleeping under a concrete blanket. Yeah, I've never experienced that either. But I have thought about it. I think about it a lot actually. Like right now. As the living concrete rolls toward me, I'm laying on the highway. Which is made of concrete by the way. So, techniquly, I'm laying on a concrete bed, and now, a concrete blanket will cover me as I rest. Those concrete walls will hold me, and the ceiling is the new sky. And the concrete sky is the new ceiling, And the ground will rise to the ceiling, and the sky will fall on me. Because the sky is the ceiling and it's heavy because it's made of concrete. Remember the concrete shoes? Where they would put shoes made of concrete on your feet and throw you into the water? That old torture method. They knew what was going on back then.
Girl 3: Love and concrete will keep us together That girl doesn't know what she's missing. I saw her screaming and trying to break free from those arms. Those beautiful arms. I smiled as she was set free, because I knew it was my turn. We ran to each other, and we put our arms around each other. She was so strong. And I wanted to be like her. I wanted to be with her forever. I could tell she wanted that too. I let her caress me with her concrete hands, and I fell against the statues body. She lifted me up, and held me against her chest. I could feel the concrete pulsing against me, with every heartbeat. She was cold, but I was her warmth, and she was my safety. I knew that I could never be harmed while I was in those concrete arms. We layed on the road, watching the concrete ahead of us move. It was coming toward us, and soon, it would be over us like a blanket of concrete that was made just for us.
God, I love that feeling. The feeling of concrete. It's rough, but in a good way. Her body is rough, but she holds me gently. Just like she used to back in the old days. So many memories together. We were such good friends, almost like sisters. She was so beautiful back then, long black hair, grey eyes, but now, she's even better. Now that the concrete has set, and dried out, she's perfect. Great news, she still has those beautiful grey eyes, they just feel better, more solid under my fingers. I loved her with black hair, but the grey hair really suits her. It took a few days, but now, she's the girl I've always wanted. My very own concrete girl. Just when I thought she couldn't get any better! The best part is, nobody will know it's me who did it. Everything is turning into concrete now, so people would never suspect me of anything. It wasn't me who even started it! I just helped her out. The water did most of the work. I thought I should just finish up the process. I mean, when I saw her get out of the shower that day, I just had to help her. She got out of the shower before the concrete could cover her completely. She ran out of there before the concrete could seep into her skin. I just had to help her. I got her to calm down and accept it. It's not like anyone could get the concrete off of her skin anyway. But that's not really the point is it? Because of what happened, my friend is now the perfect girl.
Have you ever experienced Petrichor? Do you know what petrichor is? Let me tell you. It's a beautiful scent. It's the smell when it rains. I love that smell. It's so intoxicating. I love going outside when it rains in our concrete city. I lick the concrete too sometimes. I love how the rough concrete feels against my tongue. Oh god, I can't wait for the concrete to cover me and my beautiful concrete goddess.
Girl 1: Fear level, Beyond Mortality I can't take this anymore. It's getting to close, and I: Concrete: The true fatality Don't worry. As long as you are alive when it starts, you will live through me.
Girl 1: Forever Contained Help me. Can anyone hear me through the concrete? I'm stuck. I don't think it's going to let go this time. I don't want to be here. I. Don't. Want. To. Be. Here! Do I really have to stay alive? Like this? I'm living in concrete. It won't let me die. Nothing can destroy me, because I'm turning into concrete! Make it stop! I will not give in. I have to save everyone before they turn. Maybe I can… Wait! It only works if you are alive. So if I… I think I know what I have to do. The concrete helps me walk. I walk down the road and I see someone ahead of me. They are staring at me. I have to do it.
Caraline: Everything was normal at one point Hi. I'm Caraline, I'm 16 years old. I'm walking back home, but I keep seeing this... thing. These statues are never in the same place. I can see it now. It's walking towards me. I'm scared. But I can't stop staring at it. I have to keep walking. I can't look away. Keep walking! Keep staring! Don't look away! I have to get home. What do you want! Why can't I look away from you!
Girl 1: Eyes open I can't let you live like this. I don't know you, but the last thing we need is for you to be it's 174th captive. Trust me, it's hell living like this! I hope you can hear me through the concrete. I'm still trying to figure out how to use my voice. I just need you to listen to me. Do not let yourself become 174. I have to be 173, but you don't have to follow. All you have to do is:
Caraline: Look away I'm freaking out. I think I just heard the statue talk. What the hell! I can't do this. I force myself to turn away, and I try to take a step forward. Before I can even register what happened, and before I could even lift my foot, I was already dead.
Girl 1: Protection successful I'm sorry. I had to do it. It was for your own good. You didn't feel anything did you? I was very fast. I'm going to have to get really profficient at this so that I can save the people that are left. I have been the 173rd person turned, and I WILL be the last one! No one else will live through concrete. If I have to kill you, I will. Because dying is better than living in concrete.
Concrete: Infestation I am completly safe. I want everyone to be held by me. I have to do more. Be more active. Keep moving. I'm moving through the waterways now. You will find me everywhere now. Go ahead, get ready for the day. I will keep you safe in the shower. You are safe when I cover you.
Girl 2: The ending is set in concrete Oh, hi there. I'm concrete now. One of my sisters or friends helped me out. It feels... normal. There are a lot of other people that are here. A lot of them look scared. I will bring comfort and they will realize that concrete is the way to live. I always loved holding people anyway, so this is perfect. I'm holding someone now. They are calming down somewhat. It's going to be okay. Everything is ment to be concrete. You are safe here. Just relax, and let me take over. I'm not just a girl. I am concrete. There is nothing to fear, because you will be concrete too. Just let me guide you through it, because I have already been through it. It won't hurt, it will just make you stronger, and eventually, you will be as strong as concrete. You will complete our world. It's a shame that 173 can't see this. Death is not the only way out. Think about it. Why should you die when there is a beautiful life waiting for you? It's just around the corner, moving slowly towards you.

2024.05.28 02:20 MikeLovesOutdoors23 Concrete reflections and obsessions

Girl 1: Fear level beyond totality
Help me. Anyone? Can you hear me through the concrete? I can't go near it. I hate concrete. It's terrifying when it moves. It's terrifying when it doesn't. I can't take it. There's too much concrete. It's everywhere. The roads, the walls, the basement floors. It's only growing. Statues, oh god, the statues. So heavy, so dense. I hate the ones that move. They are the worst. They hurt people. They hurt me. Walking towards me, it wraps it's cold, hard, concrete arms around my neck, and it stays like that. It presses it's body against me, making me feel the hard material. It hurts. The concrete arms dig into my back now. It attempts to rub my back with it's large hands, but it doesn't know that the rough concrete hurts against my skin. Get me out of it's arms! I don't care what it wants. Each gentle pat on my back feels like a heavy cold weight thrown against me. I don't want to be in the embrace of concrete. This is why I avoid it. I can't go outside. The driveway… the hot, concrete driveway…
I have made it so that the walls in my house are made of anything but concrete. My basement has metal floors, covered with carpet. The carpets exist so I don't have to feel the cold metal under my feet. The cold reminds me of concrete. But I would rather feel cold metal than concrete.
Get me out of here!!! The walls are surrounding me. Concrete on all sides. It's getting closer. I can see the sky, but the rest is concrete. These four walls, all of them, concrete. The ground, water. I'm in the air. But the water is filling with concrete. It's coming up to me. The walls are getting higher and higher. They are curving inward. Oh god, it's forming a ceiling. But it isn't coming down to meet me. Pretty soon I won't be able to see the beautiful sky anymore. Fuck! The water, it's getting thicker. Wet concrete. Easy to get stuck in concrete when it is wet. Then it hardens and your stuck there. Forever. No! No no no!!! Get me out of the walls. I'm that thing living in the walls. You know, they talk about the critters living in your walls? That's me. Let me out!!! I'm scared, because the walls in your house are made of concrete.
You know about road construction? Why can't they just dig up the road and leave it? They defeated the concrete. They destroyed it! Then they fill that hole with more of that goddamn concrete. Why? We don't need it. Dirt roads are perfect the way they are. Then someone had to cover it up with concrete. And by covering it up with concrete, you uncovered my fear. Get me out of this concrete world. Before I get crushed by these concrete walls. The water is thickening up now, and from the sliver of light that I can see between the mending cracks in the growing concrete ceiling, it's not going to rain any time soon.
Girl 2: A concrete obsession I can see the walls around me. Concrete walls. They are moving, isn't that weird? I need something to eat. Fruit snacks. Yes. And to drink? Soda. Maybe. If it doesn't turn into concrete first. Concrete soda. Hmm. I'm eating my snack. I drink the soda in front of me, with a straw. A concrete straw. I taste the cool refreshing soda before it turns into concrete as I swollow it. The thick concrete hardening as it goes down my throat. Ugh. Never drinking soda again. Concrete is heavy, especially when it goes down your throat and into your stomach. Coating the walls. I need to take a shower, I have to get this concrete out of me. I walk into the bathroom. I get in the shower, the concrete walls on three sides of me. The showerhead made of some unknown material. Probably some form of concrete. I turn the shower on.

2024.05.28 02:17 therandomcylon Under the Raptor's Talon's (Chapter 11)

Thanks to u/spacepaladin15 for creating NoP
Memory Transcription
Subject: Avital, Harchen Researcher and Advisor
Date (Sol Standard Time): June 23rd, 2140
I never typically felt uneasy with space travel, but there was nothing typical about this. Not when you knew what could be lurking in the darkness. Sensor ghosts pursued us throughout the day, each false return possibly hiding our death. Furthermore, there was no way for us to know we were detected unless one of the patrolling Romulans decloaked to challenge us.
Just last night, long range scans detected some points of interest. A station, and two planets that show potential activity. We needed to investigate. Aureoleis was only a minute away from the station.
“Researcher Avital” the captain spoke.
“We’ll only be sitting at the very edge of our sensor range to try and better avoid detection. Will this degrade our scans?”
“Not radically, unless you wanted details like the number of lives on board. Otherwise we can get a… decent enough scan from long range.”
“Understood.”
It disappointed me a little that we’d only be taking light scans from a distance. I wanted to actually know the Romulans.
But, it was probably better than having to dodge plasma for a few scans.
Eventually, we left warp. The station was barely a speck in the void, but it was scannable.
Slowly, the scan data came pouring through, and my fear rose a bit.
“Captain, scanners are showing this a shipyard, about a hundred docks. Most of them are filled with what appears to be partially completed ships, varying sizes.”
“Any idea how much longer they have to complete?”
“It’s unclear how fast they’re able to construct ships, but based on the state of the attack ships similar to what we have seen them use, and rough estimates of the other ship types, I estimate no ship here is under 67% complete.”
“Any sign they’ve detected us?”
“Unclear.”
“Verywell. Navigation, take us to the next site.”
The navigator turned “Aye ma’am”
Just as quickly as we arrived, we were gone. I had an odd feeling we’d be seeing those ships again soon. An interstellar power doesn’t just suddenly choose to militarize.
Deep in my mind, I kind of wished we didn’t hide ourselves from them. That we could just appear and talk to them. But as much as I wanted to, I knew what we would be met with.
I was also hoping that the two planets would be a lot more revealing. The data from the spacedock was decent, albeit underwhelming.
On the sensor terminal, I see more data, but nothing new. Not a single piece of new information from the last target. At least the first planet, a colony, gave us something. The second target? A barren rock barely able to be called a “planet” used for mining. All we detected were strange crystal formations on the planet, and nothing else.
I feel like we lost. The Romulans had us almost completely beat at the intelligence game. And it’s not as simple as going deeper into their territory. The longer we stay, the more likely we are to be found.
I slumped back in my chair, exhausted at the 18 hour journey to get here, just to find out this whole mission was full of-
“You seem kinda defeated, what’s wrong?”
I turn around. Maln.
“Just… tired, I guess.”
“I can tell it’s more than that”
“Not… Right now, Maln. I’m not in the mood.”
“And just let you stay depressed?”
“Don’t you have an engine to fix or something?”
“Nope, got let off early today. Got bored, too, so I initially figured I’d do something with you, but I guess it’s bad timing.”
“No, stay. Knowing how I work, I’ll probably spend the rest of the day sulking if you don’t.”
Maln stopped talking, and simply took the seat nearby my station.
I never had the slightest clue why me and Maln liked each other so much. He was always a lot more laid back, calm, while I was always chasing my own private interests. He was a lot more outgoing, while I more often stayed secluded. I found it strange these differences never seemed to matter to us.
Plus, It was always nice having Maln around, even just the knowledge he was around put me at ease. He was one of the few that made sense to me, somehow.
A small noise came from the sensor console. I didn’t expect it to be much, as the sensors usually pick up small debris, or disruptions from cloaks, but I looked anyways.
“Captain, you need to see this.”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s an uncloaked Romulan ship not far from here.”
“Unescorted?”
“Unknown. I’m still getting false returns.”
“Any idea of the type of ship.”
“I’m afraid not, but it appears to be minimally armed. My guess is a freighter or transport of some kind.”
“Perfect! Navigation, set course. Fire Control, have our missile tubes loaded with NASIVs. I plan to destroy that ship for the computer core.”
I wasn’t sure if I was scared or excited. On one hand, a computer core would provide plenty of information. But this also meant we could very easily become a target ourselves.
Either way, we had to try something.

2024.05.28 01:58 help_im_scared [PC][2000-2010] Fantasy RPG

Platform(s): PC, pretty sure I played it on Windows 7
Genre: Fantasy RPG
Estimated year of release: 2000-2010
Graphics/art style: Art style felt like a rudimentary Skyrim, remember very similar cobble paths through forested areas. I remember you could see your character as you moved but can't remember if you were behind your character or above.
Notable characters: I played the demo but I remember the final boss of the demo being a large Satyr who you fought in a grassy area. Once you defeated him there was a massive chest in a small cave behind him which you could loot. I also remember fighting wolves and smaller satyrs.
Notable gameplay mechanics: Sword fighting, collecting loot from chests, I believe there was a skill tree but can't remember what the skills were. Can't remember if there was magic. I remember getting new armour from chests and equipping it, weirdly I think this game is where I learnt what greaves are so I assume they were in there.
Other details: Thanks very much if anyone can help me identify this game!

2024.05.28 01:46 ghhostr What is Ei's age?

Raiden Ei, also known as Raiden Shogun, is one of the most powerful and ancient characters in Teyvat. While the game doesn't give us a clear answer, clues throughout history and lore suggest that she is thousands of years old and embodies the eternal existence of the Electro Archon.
The world of the people of Inazuma is also thus. There, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain were primordial facts of life, as well as light, and the sea... and the Raiden Shogun.
The great name of the Raiden Shogun has long shaken off the shackles of mere life, becoming the eternal traditional belief of Inazuma.
Thanks to the book "Toki Alley Tales" it is known that a long time ago the tanukis lived in Inazuma without humans, they were the happiest creature until the kitsunes (faithful servants and messengers of the Electro Archon) arrived and a war that lasted 1600 years began, until finally the tanukis ceded Mount Yougou and the Sacred Sakura to the kitsunes, then they built the Grand Narukami Shrine in front of the tree to worship Shogun Raiden.
Later on, the kitsune arrived by sea, forcing the tanuki into a great war that lasted first for 800 years and then for another 800 years.
In Japanese mythology, kitsunes are youkai, pseudo-immortal earthly spirits who stand somewhere between mortals and gods, kitsunes serve deities, and from what we know so far, the fox envoys have always served faithfully and worshiped Shogun Raiden since time immemorial.
Legend has it that in the time of the Great Kitsune Hakushin, she had six apprentices. All were greatly skilled in magic and in shape-shifting. Day-to-day, they were tasked with assisting their matriarch, Hakushin, in managing the shrine and defending Mt. Yougou.
Through the book "New Chronicles of the Six Kitsune" it is known that Hakushin, who lived on Mount Yougou, was the first in charge of the Narukami Grand Shrine, this means that it is old enough to have been built during that time, perhaps a few hundred years before the War of the Archons more than 3700 years ago.
The Grand Narukami Shrine was built before the Archon War and Hakushin served as its first attendant.
Since there is no reference to any war in the book and they lived in an era of peace, it is likely that the events were before the War of the Archons, also knowing that many generations of kitsune have passed since Lady Hakushin.
The Grand Narukami Shrine is implied to have already existed during Hakushin's lifetime, and she managed the shrine along with her apprentices.
The War of the Archons began simultaneously throughout Teyvat, therefore, in Inazuma it did not last a short time, as Ei defeated many gods and conquered different civilizations during this, after the War of the Archons, the Grand Narukami Shrine was under the command of Kitsune Saiguu.
Babes nestling in their mothers' arms hear tales of the Shogun's slaying of many gods and conquering of other races.
Nor should we forget that Ei spent fighting against her own puppet for 500 years, the physical and temporal wear and tear on both Ei and her puppet could be observed, giving them a mental, physical and affinity experience in combat in proportion to 500 years.
Raiden Shogun: Then let this be our final duel, the conclusion to that which began 500 years ago.
This is my analysis of the approximate age of Ei, adding all the quantities gives a value of at least 5800 years, in any case it is likely that I have missed some errors.

2024.05.28 01:42 Famous-Score1296 AITA for severing all ties with my SO's one sister?

So for backstory, my boyfriend (28m) and I (25f) have been together for probably about 2 and a half years now. We have a little boy (1) together. I live across the country from my family so they aren't really involved whereas my boyfriend's family lives roughly a half hour away from us. The issues between my boyfriend's sister and I slowly began around the time my son was 8-10 weeks old. A little backstory that is needed for this.. at my son's first appointment, he had lost about 13% of his body weight and doctors start to become concerned if they lose any more than 7-10%.. I then had to pay very close attention to how much he was feeding and how often, and this resulted in countless doctor visits as our pediatrician wanted to see him roughly every 2-3 weeks for really about the first 5-6 months of his life.. we EBF for 4 months while the doctor continued to monitor his weight, amd they even ran some tests to see if there was a reason as to why he was so underweight for a newborn. After every single test came back negative, and seeing how happy and active he was (which is typically very rare for a baby when they are in as low of a percentile as he was), the doctor finally suggested around 4 months that we begin to supplement with formula to see if we could try and get him to gain some weight.. while this did help a little bit, he was still very underweight until he was given the okay at 6 months to begin eating solid foods. (Side note.. he is now just over a year and his doctor couldn't be more happy with how much progress he has made. It was said by the doctor that he was just taking his time and just a small baby.)
Naturally during this time, I turned to his one sister for some guidance and mainly just for support from fellow moms. I was struggling a lot mentally with PPA and PPD, and was really worried that I was doing something wrong with my little one. During this time, I had gone back to work part time, working approximately 2 days a week on opposite shifts from my boyfriend so that one of us was always with him. My boyfriend's sister offered to watch our son every once in a while to just offer an extra hand. It first started out as like one day every other week, and it was never for more than five hours, usually about 3-4. After the first couple times though, she started making comments to us about his weight and how underweight he was. She would talk about how he is supposed to have little baby fat in certain areas and he didn't and I felt like she was just starting to compare him to how her kids all were when they were his age.. mind you.. she knew about everything going on with the doctor and his weight and KNEW just how much it was stressing me out.. she was also making multiple comments about my PPD to us. and okay, yes I knew I had PPD and how severe it is, but at this time when I was dealing with a potentially very sick little boy (as this started just before the lab tests were taken) and struggling to adjust to my new life as a mostly sahm. I mean it when I say I did not have the time to put myself first and prioritize my mental health.
Anyway, after the first couple times she watched him, she began wanting him once a week. It usually varies between who would pick him up, but it was often the same conversation about how concerning his weight was and every week it would seem like he hasn't gained any weight. This is around the time the doctor had done the lab tests and they came back negative so their concerns had diminished a little and as did mine... However, these comments from the sister did not stop.
The last 2 days she watched him, she complained that he was really fussy. While we believed it had to do with either missing Mom and dad or being constipated or teething, she of course blamed it on his weight. About a day later, she texted my boyfriend and went off on him about not being concerned about the baby's weight and for not pushing me to take my mental health seriously. She then proceeded to text me and tell me that I don't make my son nor my mental health a priority and that she doesn't have time to argue with me anymore about either topic. She also goes to say that she has tried to be there for us both, but again says she doesn't have the time for it anymore. So that really just kind of ended our relationship with her.. I didn't respond to the message because I felt it was sent to be hurtful and after she said I wasn't prioritizing my child, it really just felt that she was calling me a bad mother and I ultimately didn't have the mindset to respond.
So reddit, am I the asshole for wanting zero contact with this sister and her family? And am I the asshole for wanting to keep my son away from what I feel is an extremely toxic and judgemental environment?

2024.05.28 01:42 H-In-S-Productions Hello! On 21 May 2024, the Free Russia Movement wrote about the political "Stockholm syndrome" in Russia, as well as the contrast between the Russian state's celebration of "victories" and the actual problems effecting Russia.

Hello! On 21 May 2024, the Free Russia Movement wrote about the political
The following post is translated from https:// t . me/VDlegionoffreedom/ 4870
#TextFromSubscriber
Free Russia Movement
In English (translated by u/H-in-S-Productions, Info-Legionnaire; my own notes in brackets):
❗️ Despite the fact that Russian television broadcasts daily how “Russia is actively opposing the values of Europe,” Stockholm syndrome has spread widely in Russia itself.
People cannot help but notice that prices are rising, life is not getting better every year, the war has been going on for three years, and many of their friends, acquaintances and even relatives have been wounded there, or even killed, but they still continue be indignant: “How can this Galkin [Maxim Galkin, a Russian/Israeli comedian, musician, and "foreign agent" that criticized the Russian invasion of Ukraine] (Grebenshchikov [Boris Grebenshchikov, another Russian musician/"foreign agent" that criticized the invasion], Makarevich [Andrey Makarevich, yet another musician/"foreign agent" that opposes the war], Bi-2 [a Belarusian band that also criticized the war], etc.) talk about our country and our president like that?! But we loved them here for so many years, praised them, fed them, but here they are, ungrateful... ... ".
🗣 In one of the videos, a woman complains about hackers who hacked into a television broadcasting network and showed the flooded Orsk there and the war as it really is (something that Russian television never shows): “Some kind of incomprehensible dregs were turned on, where they spoke badly about the president, they said that war is bad, that there is devastation everywhere in Russia. They showed the sunken Orsk, that money for a dam was stolen there...” Then this woman says that her brother died in the “SMO” ["special military operation", ie, the war], and still she wanted to watch the Victory Parade and see Putin on the podium.
🗣 I would like to ask her: “Isn’t war bad? Maybe war is good?!” Her brother died there, and she wants other brothers, fathers and sons to die there too? The thought never once occurred to her that maybe she didn’t need it anymore? Maybe it's enough to die already?
And after the sinking of Orsk, does she still want to see Putin on the podium of the Victory Parade? Has he already defeated corruption and devastation in the country in order for him to be there on the podium, and did the veterans, including her grandfather, fight so that officials would steal money and cities would drown?! Have she and others like her never once asked such questions, at least to themselves?! First, for yourself, and then for those in power.
👉 Personally, I’m waiting for official sources to start showing us not “victories” in another Ukrainian settlement, the name of which I can’t remember in a couple of minutes, but our real life. First of all, sinking Orsk. Then about what some of the “heroes of the SMO” are - some of them were imprisoned for rape, some for murder. I want to know what is really happening in our country. Whose fault is it that cities are drowning, forests are burning, houses are freezing, and I perfectly understand that this is happening, including the fault of those who do not want to see the obvious, and do not want to admit this obvious. Due to the fault of those who are more comfortable watching and hearing about victories, and hiding from reality within their own four walls. Of course, direct responsibility for all this lies with Putin and his appointees, since there have been no fair elections in Russia for a long time. But they need to be called to account, and not scold all those artists and hackers who, as best they can, are trying to convey the truth to people. Only truth and critical thinking can move things forward, and not the “Matrix” in which the majority lives. Nothing can last forever, including their "Matrix". Nobody knows which city will be next to flood or freeze. I would advise everyone to watch a film called "The Fool" [a film made in 2014)]. And whoever has already watched it will understand that we are all residents of that same home here, and this home is called Russia.
I want Russia to truly become our Home - cozy, warm and clean, and not like in the film about “The Fool”. To do this, we must expel from our Home those who turn it into ruins and ruins, and start a new life, opening a new page of history!⚪🔵⚪ [https://telegra . ph/TekstOtPodpischika- 05-21]

In Russian:
Не смотря на то, что российское телевидение ежедневно вещает, как "Россия активно противостоит ценностям Европы", в самой России широко распространился Стокгольмский синдром.
Люди не могут не замечать, что цены растут, жизнь с каждым годом лучше не становится, третий год идёт война, и уже у многих кто-то из друзей, знакомых и даже родственников был там ранен, а то и убит, но всё равно продолжают возмущаться: "Да как же этот Галкин (Гребенщиков, Макаревич, Би - 2, итд) так могут говорить про нашу страну и нашего президента?! Да мы же столько лет их здесь любили, хвалили, кормили, а вот они, неблагодарные..... ".
🗣 На одном из видео женщина жалуется на хакеров, которые взломали сеть телевещания и показали там затопленный Орск и войну, какая она есть на самом деле (то, что никогда не показывает российское телевидение): "Включилась какая-то непонятная муть, где плохо говорили про президента, говорили, что война - это плохо, что везде в России разруха. Показывали потонувший Орск, что там разворовали деньги на дамбу...". Дальше эта женщина говорит, что у неё братишка погиб на “СВО”, и всё равно она хотела смотреть парад Победы и видеть на трибуне Путина.
🗣Хочется спросить у неё: "Разве война — это не плохо? Может, война — это хорошо?!" Там погиб её брат, и она хочет, чтобы другие братья, отцы и сыновья там тоже погибли? Ей ни разу в голову не приходила мысль, что, может быть, уже не надо? Может быть, уже хватит погибать?
А после тонущего Орска ей ещё хочется видеть Путина на трибуне парада Победы? Разве он уже победил коррупцию и разруху в стране, чтобы ему там быть на трибуне, и разве ветераны, в том числе и её дед, воевали за то, чтобы чиновники воровали деньги, а города тонули?!
Неужели она и ей подобные ни разу не задавали такие вопросы хотя бы самому себе?! Для начала — себе, а потом и власть имущим.
👉 Лично я жду, когда уже официальные источники начнут показывать нам не "победы" в очередном украинском населённом пункте, название которого я через пару минут уже не могу вспомнить, а нашу реальную жизнь. В первую очередь тонущий Орск. Затем о том, что представляют собой некоторые "герои СВО" — кто из них сидел за изнасилование, кто за убийство. Я хочу знать, что на самом деле происходит у нас в стране. По чьей вине тонут города, горят леса, замерзают дома, и я прекрасно понимаю, что происходит это, в том числе, и по вине тех, кто не хочет видеть очевидное, и не хочет это очевидное признать. По вине тех, кому удобнее смотреть и слушать о победах, и укрываться от реальности в своих четырёх стенах.
Конечно, прямая ответственность за всё это лежит на Путине и его назначенцах, так как честных выборов в России давно уже нет. Но их необходимо призывать к ответственности, а не ругать всех тех людей искусства и хакеров, которые, как умеют, пытаются донести до людей правду.
Только правда и критическое мышление способны сдвинуть дело с мёртвой точки, а не та "Матрица", в которой живёт большинство.
Ничто не может продолжаться вечно, в том числе и эта их " Матрица". Никто не знает, какой город будет следующим на затопление или замерзание. Я посоветовала бы всем посмотреть фильм, который называется "Дурак". А кто его уже смотрел, тот поймёт, что все мы здесь являемся жильцами того самого дома, и этот дом называется Россией.
Я хочу, чтобы Россия действительно стала нашим Домом — уютным, тёплым и чистым, а не таким, как в фильме про "Дурака". Для этого мы должны изгнать из своего Дома тех, кто превращает его в развалины и руины, и начать новую жизнь, открыв новую страницу истории!⚪🔵⚪ [https://telegra . ph/TekstOtPodpischika- 05-21]
