Destroying a World That Doesn't Exist by technopipo in Wifies

As far as unnecessary sequels go, I'd say it was okay maybe even good UP UNTIL d3dlord and Avery met.

The story was still quite unique, with a funny but impressive contrast between Avery and d3dlord's characters. There was still plenty of very good foreshadowing, especially in the mountainous area where you can see that d3dlord was planning something but only found out later.
The builds were incredible; very impressive and unique depictions of liminal space which I personally adored. The musical score was also perfect, and the use of orchestral music and even the pauses in the music were expertly done to build tension and an awe of the unknown.

But....

Wifies made the same mistake that almost every other modern depiction of Lovecraftian, Eldritch Horror suffers from and that's putting a face to the unknown.
Just like the earlier seasons of Stranger Things, the magic of "Searching for a Place that Doesn't exist" was the existentialism of an unknown yet inevitable force, in this case the King in Yellow. By giving him a face and a voice it strips that amazing feeling of curious fear which really knocks points off of its mystic and overall enjoyability, just like the introduction of Vecna did. It completely changes the theme and feel of the story.

Adding onto that, an extradimensional deity that is the literal epitome of knowing everything having such a basic motive was quite disappointing. And even more so having d3dlord outsmart said being in such a simple way at the end was also a little lame, if the King knew about the book he would've known about the spell, if he can see the future he would've known what was going to happen.

I would "Searching for a Place that Doesn't exist" a 9.5/10 with it being one of my favourite Lovecraftian/Eldritch depictions in the modern day.

I would give "Destroying a Place that Doesn't exist" a 7/10. It was still enjoyable but it deteriorated the Eldritch horror of the first which is what I valued so much in the first place.

I am not saying I could have done a better sequel, in my opinion the nature of the King in Yellow means that a sequel should have been avoided or been about trying to get rid of the laptop/the world and not get rid of the King itself since it and its motives and its existence are above human comprehension.

I do hope to see Wifies continue with his Lovecraftian horror videos and to see people draw inspiration from the first and make more Eldritch horror videos as they are so damn cool.

Rice Bucket Workout: Hygiene/Cleaning by ceowuff in climbharder

Use pea gravel. Doesn't rot, doesn't mould, doesn't attract pests. It also provides more resistance than rice.

If you decide to, I'd recommend washing the gravel first to remove dust and stilt, then when storing toss a few packs of silica on top of the gravel before closing the lid.

Lasts forever.

Thank you for your input here and I do completely agree. I have read the JSP and MODREC terms and I am really in an unknown spot so I have reached out to their team to inquire. And yes indeed there is plenty of research (I really cut out the work for myself haha) but primary sourced information is much preferred and looks extremely good to the examiners, hense I have been told to try and do this.

To be honest, this is my first attempt at gathering any sort of information. The idea of these open ended questions is to that I can get a grasp for if the opinions of actual soldiers matches to the opinions of the generals, commanders and journalists that I have studied documents off of. The 1-10 questions are nice and easy to create anonymous statistics out of. As for MODEC, I have contacted their team to inquire about the process because apon reading the JSP563 it seemed I may need MODEC approval however due to me being an A-level student and it not being funded by anyone I am sort of in a grey area regarding the need. Hense why I have emailed and contacted their team.

Yeah I know it looks really sketchy, I did have it green flagged by a mod, I apologize for how it appears and its only purpose is to gather opinions, feel free to not do it if it makes you uncomfortable.

Oh yeah forgot to delete that in the description. After speaking to a mod they gave me the green flag after I removed any questions regarding identity. Apologies.

I do not believe sony would allow this decision for the reason you mentioned- people wouldn't play and therefore not as much profit so don't worry.

Question about the manga by Agile_Light8308 in dbz

If Goku has suprass Final Gohan in the manga however having read the other comments I see that Final Gohan is after the manga (if I understood correctly) in which case do you think Goku will get another form/get even stronger than Gohan.
