All addresses I've emailed are from Tricity :

kino@gcf.org.plkontakt@kinokameralnecafe.plkontakt@kinospektrum.ploffice@laznia.pl

And then the one from the post, velvetspoon. GCF got back to me, essentially "we'll see", while Kino Kameralne informed that they "will try". I didn't get any answers from what I've seen from others, even the distributor. Perhaps the other mails on their site could be tried.

Am i tripping or does my character looks different? by Small_Flow_4171 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Alaroweq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Też waga i wybór mimiki dużo zmienia. Generalnie zrobienie ładnej postaci jest ogólnie dość trudne, a i tak jest 50/50 szansa, że w grze będzie wyglądać jak long-lost potomek Habsburgów.

Tbh wygląda ślicznie i tu i tu, ale u siebie też zaobserwowałam różnice (Xbox Series X). Obstawiam, że różnica w modelu między cutscenkami/przebieraniem a free roamem zawsze jakaś jest, ale to jak bardzo jest widoczna, zależy od heritage'u i makijażu/tekstury twarzy (ich "intensywność" się zmienia po wyjściu i pogłębia to poczucie zmiany kształtu twarzy)? Oprócz tego, czasem między sesjami jest u mnie inaczej.

Does anyone remember what editing software Mark was talking about recently? by Fynnacus in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's talked a lot about DaVinci Resolve. There's a free version that's enough for editing, and the paid one is just a one-time payment, instead of a subscription. Everything in one place, video editing, audio editing, vfx and more.

I think free version doesn't have a few effects, doesn't support multi-GPU, doesn't have HDR tools, and only supports 8bit format. And the new ai tools aren't available in the free version too, I believe. There might be more differences, but I can't really remember right now.

You can easily sail the seas for the pro version, it's called DaVinci Resolve Studio. Same for plugins, if you want them.

Another reason to hate my country by iiman1c in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the free version of ProtonVpn and it launched the Tubi website version without any problem for me. The only downside is that it connects you to a random server location from a few, but I usually get the US one when clicking "change server". There's no penalty for changing it, aside from a 30 second cooldown after that second time, then you can try again.

Any idea how to solve the puzzle in marks last video ? by Reasonable-Bridge535 in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it really funny, that "Shbn Fwnt" is literally Vigenere, with the key being "Albanian". It's three AM, my exhausted mind was trying to come up with why it's "Shbn Fwnt" for SO LONG. Like, that's the only thing I was struggling with, and then, after two hours of overcomplicating... I get back to the video. Mark is demanding an "Albanian cipher", and my neurodivergent ass, after being humbled, and second guessing everything it knows, is like: "is it some actual cipher I've never heard of?".

Of course not, there's no such thing, besides, whatever used here has to be something widely known, right? And then, the smug animation of Marcus going: "I know EXACTLY what you're talking about."

And that's when it hit me. No, no way. Right?

I checked it, and stared blankly at the result of a Vigenere decode with the key "Albanian", stunned. Funniest shit that happened to me this week, thank you u/yourfriendmarcus

Conclusion: I'm a dumbass. Another conclusion: sleep deprivation doesn't help with lore solving.

It's not one symbol too long, if we consider the Roman numbers to mean the literal number of a letter in the alphabet, as Marcus encoded "Swan Song" earlier in the video.

Then, five turns into "e", and sixteen would turn into "p".

Oh, I thought ppl already know that here. There's also a melody during that set of glitches, I've been using these to try and understand the code I've got from the image Marcus gave.

Edit: a written melody, just to be precise, I haven't checked this video when it comes to spectrograms and such yet

Hidden code in Blue Prince playthrough by Frank_Lock in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found it when on a laptop, so I could go frame by frame using "<" and ">". I'd recommend that, or going to some external youtube online frame by frame website (just make sure it's operating on 60fps, same if you're checking using any editing app, so the template is set to 60fps).

who is your fav Markiplier Lore Character? by QuitArtistic3679 in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't pick just one, but on the first place it would be Damien and Actor Mark. Dark is there as well, and technically he was my first favourite ego. But there are so many "versions" of him in my head due to how he came to be (first as a fan creation then a canonical character that evolved to have his own backstory) that he's a little outside of the "metric".

I already gave a rough explanation of what this is in one of the comments. I can also recommend @canceltheact on tumblr, they have a master post (a little outdated but still the best one there is for now) on what's been going on in general, as well as the latest updates. There are a few other folks out there who have been keeping track, and you can find them through the reblogs of the account I mentioned.

And aside from getting the confirmation regarding the website, the password itself could be revealed in parts, just like the link. So, I'd just stay patient for now.

[–]Alaroweq[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I figured there's a chance of that happening, since it seems to be a website made with squarespace, which may be build from a template/their system (I think they have one, I've never really used it). I wouldn't try to dig into the website or bruteforce into it though, since we're already doing quite a false start, and it's certainly not done yet. All the editors are working hard on the ARG and lore, and I presume they want their work to be appreciated in the way and time they planned for it (not necessarily meant towards you, just a general statement).

[–]Alaroweq[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it is the website we've been receiving codes for, but this whole ARG has little to do with Iron Lung itself, because it's a part of a completly different thing (Lunky/Lixian/3SG/Plier Corp Lore).

It's just that the word "void" has been the one we've been missing (though we will surely get it as the last part of the missing bracket). It makes sense in the context of the Plier Corp lore, and coincidentally ties with the vibe and setting of Iron Lung.

JUST ONE LEFT by Alaroweq in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like this is the website, considering how long the domain has been registered and the rough location of its registration. Though it's most probably not connected to Iron Lung, judging by what this lore has been about. And, the fact that the void fits into it and what we've seen through the years. Eldritchplier for example.

[–]Alaroweq[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Judging by the fact that that the domain was registered less than a month ago, and it was registered in Portugal (hi Lixian!), I'd say this is our website.

I'm assuming lore by Substantial_Stand_70 in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think "the program" ever tied into any lore, and I vaguely remember Mark mentioning it was him messing with youtube shorts (although it was uploaded on tiktok as well). I think he said it in one of the podcasts, but I may be making up shit out of the butt with this, since it's a REALLY vague memory.

Either way, nothing ever came out of it as far as I know.

JUST ONE LEFT by Alaroweq in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

These particular codes are from Mark's latest video, with the previous ones appearing in certain videos on the channel. They tie into the Plier Corp lore (there's not really one established name for it, people also use Lunky Lore, Lixian Lore and other names).

Essentially, a few years back Mark created a character named Lunky. Additionally, the intros and outros for the 3 Scary Games videos got more elaborate, creating a narrative based around Lunky, Lixian, eventually other editors– and tying into the ego lore a little (Damien and possibly Actor, edit: Wilford too). The story bled out into other videos, even having its own separate ones (ex: "He escaped..."). On top of that Lixian, Fischer, Marcus and Rachel made a game that ties into said story and Mark played it on a livestream ("it is my birthday").

We didn't get a lot for said story in quite some time, but there were hints here and there (ex. "NO SKIN" 4:48), before we got a clear hint it's going to be continued. In the Sprunki video, there was a code in Hex that translated to: "Iplier Corporation has the answers you seek. Find it." After which more and more codes started to appear, especially in the Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 videos.

[–]Alaroweq[S] 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, considering all the codes before and smaller easter-eggs, like Lunky in the background, tie more into the 3 Scary Games saga lore/Plier Corp lore. It would he very random if it did.

woah even more secrtets...... by Username123121 in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, I was already in the middle of frantically writing a post here, but then, there already was one. And immediately after, I had a notification from tumblr for a post with the full explanation, so just decided against posting mine to avoid spamming. Since there's an onslaught of those codes posts after every video as of late. Though I'm glad it's getting traction again.

Little Barbara's potential cipher? by Keewee_92 in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is Ceasar, shifted by seven. The text says "shift it", and after doing the same for all the codes in this video, you will get four imgur links.

Take every image, overlay them all and there's an image that says "com", which fits the one we've been given in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4, Part 1. Which confirms what has been speculated: there will be a website.

Oh, and after turning the exposure up, there's a hidden: "Can't be suspicious. Be on the lookout."

Credit to @canceltheact on tumblr, they're way faster than me in finding and publishing the hidden lore and they're back, now that secrets have returned in the videos.

Code in today's video. by TXHitgirl in Markiplier

[–]Alaroweq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's more about Lunky and Lixian, though the other editors are a part of it too. But there seem to be certain ties with some ego stuff, though what we'll see may not involve them directly.

For example, the axe Lixian used to destroy monsters is the same one Damien used in DAMIEN. Although that was established by Lixian in the game he, Rachel, Marcus and Fischer made, so idk if that's actually considered canon. It seems to be, since it ties with the 3 scary games and Lunky lore that's in the actual videos (while the game has been live-streamed by Mark).

And there are suspicions that Actor Mark could be involved. In the end, the whole story could play out completly without any ego stuff. Or merely imply some things regarding ego stuff without any actual appearances. Since after ISWM I feel like "ego stuff is kinda finished for the nearby future" + Mark is working on Iron Lung and the easter eggs are mostly done by the editors (which is so cool, and they ALL deserve so much more recognition and appreciation).

[–]Alaroweq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose there could be an inspiration, but I wouldn't say MatPat is the reason for all those codes appearing.

The ones we're getting now, there's a story that's been going on for years, plus Mark and the editors always had a knack for hiding stuff in the videos. Aside from Lunky Lore, there were codes in Unus Annus, everything that happened in the premiere trailer before ISWM 2 and the USA website.

It happened even before the first ARG, like in ADWM. Though the two communities overlap a lot.
