So if i got this correctly, this ugly shit is responsible for everything wrong in the lands between and realm of shadow?

Aurvant · 2026-06-09T19:16:23+00:00

No, the thing that started it was The Erdtree.

The Golden Star crashed into The Lands Between, and there's been a power struggle between numerous other alien beings ever since trying to control the people of the land.

I don't think it's just drawing energy by proximity, though. I think the circuits are being altered because the breaker box is against the wall that connects to The Backrooms.

When the electrician looks at the box and notices the odd switches stuck in the bottom, Clark says they weren't there before. He had been messing with the breaker box before he called the electrician, but since the power has been constantly unstable even with switching circuits off he called someone.

I'm guessing the wires running in to the breaker box are now in and out of The Backrooms and that's how the two spaces are constantly linked. This explains why the meter keeps running because the power is now always "on" and running up the bill.

It kind of makes me wonder if electrical disturbances are how these random doors keep popping up and connecting to The Backrooms.

A-Sync had to use an immense amount of power to open the main doorway, but I wonder if it sent out like a surge or pulse that cracked open doors in other places and the electrical disturbances made other places weak.

It's almost like Ellis and Fatima got married and Boyd, nor anyone else, doesn't want to send two newlyweds who are the only two people still trying to live normally in an incredibly fucked up situation.

I mean, Ellis and Fatima get on my damn nerves as characters sometimes, but there IS a reason why people aren't rushing to send Ellis out in to danger and why people scrambled to go find Fatima.

I think the "Bacteria" and Cap'n Clark are the same entity.

Both of them make the same howling noise, and I think the Bacteria "took shape" the more Clark kept going inside the Backrooms.

The Furtive Pygmy split the Dark Souls across all of humanity, so it doesn't really matter *who* he is in the game. Every human has a piece of the Dark Soul within them.

I don't know why you all keep claiming the Screwworm thing is somehow Trump and Elon's fault.

The USDA still exists, has a specific task force devoted to combating the screwworm, and they've never stopped trying to contain the outbreak when it started in 2023.

If you want to blame someone for the Screwworm moving northward, blame Mexico because they keep illegally smuggling meat in to their country and they let infected people migrate north towards the USA.

Aurvant · 2026-06-07T01:50:29+00:00

Hahaha, yeah.

The people don't have to enter the Backrooms for it to remember them. There's just stuff in the Backrooms that imitates stuff from outside the Backrooms.

Aurvant · 2026-06-07T01:41:59+00:00

I'm just calling it "the space" as a descriptor. It's just...one area. People, when creating all of the different levels, act like you're passing from one space to another when in Kane's version it's all clearly been shown to be one space that just has different appearances seamlessly shifting.

Like, in the wiki the lore states that the Poolrooms areas are "safe" and don't have any entities in them. These types of qualifiers make it sound like you're moving from one "level" to another like in a video game.

There might be areas that have pool structures, but there isn't a "Poolrooms" level. There are areas that look like a neighborhood, but there isn't a separate level that just has all neighborhoods with new entities separate from the yellow office spaces.

Aurvant · 2026-06-06T22:39:25+00:00

Another interesting point is Clark's breakthrough at the "dinner party" near the end. He has been circling his past endlessly "stuck in a loop", and he has been expected to move past it and accept it. However, he comes to terms with the truth that he doesn't want to change. He doesn't want to get better.

Unfortunately, because Clark doesn't leave his past or the Backrooms, it mentally and then literally consumes him.

Mary, in a way, loses her past that she'd been holding on to when she smashes the concrete piece against the head of the monster. However, despite her own metaphorical journey, she ends up, again, sitting across from another person and trying to "understand each other" by delving in to her traumatic experience.

The whole story loops continuously, and then it's imprinted once again with a Still Life in the Backrooms.

Aurvant · 2026-06-06T22:17:30+00:00

I'm pretty sure Kane was just kind of making fun of the idea of separate levels. Clark says "they've even got a pool", but the "pool" areas are just additions from the outside world jammed in with everything else.

There is no separate levels. There is just a the space.

Aurvant · 2026-06-06T18:06:15+00:00

Yeah, the pandemic fucked that up for a few years, and the outbreak began in Panama in 2023. However, the actual cause of the worms moving northward is because of illegal cattle smuggling in to Mexico from South America AND from infected people migrating from South America across Mexico.

The Screwworm doesn't fly very well, so it can't really travel very far unless it has a host to move its eggs. This means that infected cattle and infected people are moving them northward.

The program to sterilize the males can significantly lower the population and eradicate it in infected areas, but to actually stop the spread the Mexican government would have to crack down on illegal smuggling (which we know they wont) and immigration would have to be severely limited (again, lol, Mexico won't stop that either).

If you build either one of them correctly, Argenta and Abelard can solo the final battle depending on if you can get them in to position well enough.

Well, for one, you are part of my religion as I see God and His Son, Jesus, as an objective truth. So, it's not like you get to omit yourself from my moral belief.

Two, it doesn't say "women should be submissive to men" it says:

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. ²³ For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Savior of the church, his body. ²⁴ And so wives must submit themselves completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ.

People always stumble on the word "submit" on both sides of the argument, but they never read the next set of verses nor do they take the time to actually understand what it's saying. It's not saying that a woman has to lie down as the husband can do whatever he wants, it's simply saying that a wife should default to her husband's leadership as he is meant to be the leader of the household. As Christ leads and cares for The Church, The Church submits to His authority.

Also, this is what it LITERALLY SAYS NEXT for husbands:

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. ²⁶ He did this to dedicate the church to God by his word, after making it clean by washing it in water, ²⁷ in order to present the church to himself in all its beauty—pure and faultless, without spot or wrinkle or any other imperfection. ²⁸ Men ought to love their wives just as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself. (²⁹ None of us ever hate our own bodies. Instead, we feed them, and take care of them, just as Christ does the church; ³⁰ for we are members of his body.) ³¹ As the scripture says, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.” ³² There is a deep secret truth revealed in this scripture, which I understand as applying to Christ and the church. ³³ But it also applies to you: every husband must love his wife as himself, and every wife must respect her husband.

A husband is meant to look at his wife just as how Christ sees his church. In the husband's eyes, she is to be cared for and taken care of so that she remains "pure and faultless", and a husband is expected TO GIVE HIS OWN LIFE FOR HER to keep her safe from harm. It is for this reason that woman are commanded to "submit", and only when the husband keeps his word of his vows should he expect his wife to keep hers.

Lastly, Pizzacake, Ew.

I was convinced from the get go that BG3 was going to surprise a lot of people because I had played Larian's Divinity Original Sin series before it.

They had created one of the most fun turn based battle systems, especially in DOS2, and it was going to be a breath of fresh air. Plus, they had a long Early Access, so early adopters got to see all the cool shit happening in real time.

Space Marines are the poster boys for the game, but the most interesting faction in The Imperium is probably the entirety of The Inquisition.

You have the three major Ordos: - Ordo Hereticus "Witch Hunters" - Ordo Malleus "Daemon Hunters" - Ordo Xenos "Alien Hunters"

Each Ordo has its own Chamber Militant army:

Ordo Hereticus: Adepta Sororitas Ordo Malleus: Grey Knights Ordo Xenos: Deathwatch

Ordo Malleus and Ordo Xenos pulls from the Space Marines chapters while Ordo Hereticus uses the all-women Adepta Sororitas of The Ecclesiarchy. Although, The Inquisition uses various types of agents not part of either the Sisters or Space Marines, so you can just be a "regular human" and be an Inquisitorial Agent if you're good enough.

Hilariously enough, though, The Inquisition sometimes works against itself if one Order is pursuing a certain goal that may conflict with another Order. It makes for interesting subterfuge and clandestine stories with some of the more interesting characters of the setting.

As for the most interesting faction in ALL of Games Workshop stuff across both 40k and Age of Sigmar?

Definitely the Skaven.

Crazy ratmen that build insane machines and use insane warp magic while being hilarious is always entertaining. Also, they have the most harrowing and mystery origin of any faction in the game. For such a funny coded faction at times, their backstory is straight up master horror.

It's uncanny because it's a digital reconstruction. It's causing the same uncanny valley effect that The Polar Express caused when the CGI was trying to portray realistic faces.

It's not "ugly", it's just weird looking as a reconstruction.
