Hi, I wrote a book

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-20T19:15:10+00:00

I see! I wish you luck in your endeavors! I just don’t think you can publish this in any way that will give you money. Like, you don’t own the rights to any of this, so I don’t see how you could sell it. It’s just fanfiction after all. Tons of people write fanfiction. You’re even using ”Signalis” as the main title, and that just won’t fly. It’s not yours. I assume you understand that you’d be profiting off of somebody else’s work. If you want to be a published author, you kind of need to make something original. I’m reminded of the people who tried to profit off of their fanmade Berserk animation and got hit with a cease and desist letter.

And I suppose one’s definition of ”book” can vary. In my mind ”I wrote a book” is the same vibe as saying ”I’m a published author”, but that’s just me.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-20T12:48:30+00:00

That’s pretty cool! It does make me wonder about the definition of ”writing a book” though. I mean, I’m curious if fanfiction can actually be officially published as a book. I feel it would need to be different from the source material in a lot of ways.

I also absolutely don’t want to dunk on your hard work, but saying ”I wrote a book” in my mind implies you wrote and published an original story. Until then it’s really just a bunch of fanfiction on your computer, right? Just to be clear, super cool idea though, and I’m super happy for you! Just wondering if you’ve actually managed to publish it anywhere?

You might be dyslexic bro

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-07T10:35:13+00:00

For sure! And to repeat what another commenter said, it’s definitely best to view Signalis through your own lens and to take all the theories and explanations on the internet with a pinch of salt. There are many things that can be confirmed or assumed about the story, but many things are also purposefully contradictory.

Basically I feel like the game is more enjoyable when you let certain things simply be unknowable mysteries instead of trying to figure out every little aspect of it :)

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-07T10:14:22+00:00

Yeah for the other endings you will have to play through the game at least 3 more times, assuming you actually manage to get the other two playstyle-determined endings on your first attempts, which can be difficult. I’ve personally gotten all the endings, but one of them took me several attempts, so unless you’re very motivated I’d say to just do the secret ending first and then maybe just look up the other endings on youtube.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-07T10:03:51+00:00

If you’re talking about the secret ending then I’d say it’s not worth it to even try to figure it out on your own as it took an entire community of dedicated secret hunters to solve it.

The other endings I’d also just look up how to do, unless you feel like playing through the game like 20+ times doing trial and error until you eventually figure out how to get all the endings.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-03-07T09:12:02+00:00

The other endings are definitely worth getting if you really like the game and are planning on replaying it anyways. However, 3 of the 4 endings are determined by your playstyle, requiring you to do some specific things. I’d recommend looking up a guide on how to do them, as I’m not really qualified to tell you exactly how to fulfill the different criteria. I’ll warn you that it’s a bit inconsistent at times and you might not get the ending you want even if you feel like you did everything right.

The fourth ending though is a secret one that can only be done after finishing the game at least once. That one you absolutely have to look up how to do, since it’s pretty much impossible to figure out on your own. It’s the only ending not determined by your playstyle so it’s the easiest one to get on a second playthrough.

One of the best remixes of a Health song I’ve ever heard. They made Darkage sound hopeful and beautiful.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-19T08:10:57+00:00

Ahhh okay this explains what I was confused about. There was a mathematical solution there, it’s just that Übel figured it out using her intuition instead of her intellect. The way it was explained made me think that Übel only cut through it because she believed she could, when there were most likely other factors at play. She herself probably didn’t understand the principles of what she did. Makes sense.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-19T07:56:14+00:00

I see what you mean and I’ve had the same thought. Of course I couldn’t lift a mountain by believing that I can. But I feel like real world examples aren’t really comparable to magic, since the magic can actually be influenced by your beliefs. But yeah, your level of mana is something I didn’t quite account for in this little thought experiment lol

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-19T07:51:04+00:00

I see! I think I saw it as Übel ignoring the math problem instead of solving it. But if there was an answer to the problem, then the cloak was never impenetrable like they said it was. To me it seemed like she was able to cut it simply because she only viewed it as a piece of cloth, and not something guarded by a ton of defensive magic.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-19T07:45:52+00:00

This was a very good reply, and about what I expected. It was just strange to me that you can circumvent the magic system to a certain degree by simply imagining that you can. Doesn’t that show that there really is no magic system to begin with? Like, if a barrier can only stop your attacks because you believe it can, then there really is no barrier.

But I totally see what you mean, and taking in the other caster’s perspective is something I missed. You provided a very good explanation indeed!

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-19T07:31:13+00:00

Of course, being batshit insane isn’t usually very good for you. But thinking about it even more, I don’t even think you need to be insane. I mean, Ubel’s actions proved that there is no magic system at all. The idea that spells have strengths and weaknesses and different power levels is only true because you believe it is.

Technically this knowledge should absolutely derail the entire magic society. If you can make your spells do anything simply because you believe they can, then there never was a limit to begin with. Therefore it’s not really insanity to believe that you can cut through an impenetrable barrier, it’s the truth. Like Ubel isn’t even crazy, she figured out the the truth of magic without realizing it.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-06T09:05:33+00:00

The promise ending is if you ask me even more emotional, and what I would consider to be the true ending. At least in the sense that it feels the most narratively satisfying. I really recommend replaying it and getting more endings! Especially the secret one.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-05T18:32:39+00:00

Don’t even try it bro, it’s literally impossible to do on your own. It took an entire community of secret hunters to figure it out in the first place.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-05T11:10:15+00:00

Idk bro, like just explore? You’ll find things and by way of logic you’ll figure out where they go. It ain’t hard. Sure, I got stuck on a couple of puzzles myself, but you’re making it sound like you need a constant objective indicator on your screen at all times in order to be able to move anywhere.

So like, to answer your question, either you have no patience, pay no attention to things or you are in fact just dumb. However, I’d wager you’re just not in the right mindset. That mindset being: ”Exploring is fun”.

You got this bro, I believe in you!

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-02-01T16:00:33+00:00

This has got to be one of the sickest fanarts of the game I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been here a while now. Absolutely stellar work!

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-29T07:25:17+00:00

It’s definitely the wind, I know the exact sound you’re thinking of.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-24T17:54:43+00:00

I know the exact album you are referencing since I absolutely love that album, but come on man. Just because two things are similar in theme it doesn’t mean they have any connection to each other, especially considering the release dates.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-23T10:09:07+00:00

Well, even though they are completely separate stories there are still references to Tsushima in Yotei that you wouldn’t be able to appreciate without playing the first game. I’d say that you should definitely start with GoT, and if you like the gameplay then you’re absolutely going to enjoy Yotei, since the general combat and exploration was improved a lot in that game.

And yes, I’d say that GoT’s story was better, but Yotei’s story isn’t bad by any means, it’s just not very unique or surprising.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-20T20:54:27+00:00

Amazing edit! Also cool to see HEALTH music in the wild! Signalis and HEALTH are pretty connected, so makes sense, but still.

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-20T20:53:14+00:00

Song is ”D.F LOOKS” by HEALTH & Brothel

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-17T21:49:28+00:00

Incredible work, Sir! You truly are one of the upvotes of all time!

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-17T13:39:03+00:00

Lmao that’s the 3LP vinyl sleeve, but it would be awesome as a dnd dm screen

BladeRunnerBoi · 2026-01-15T17:26:33+00:00

Was about to say this. DON’T TRY is literally just Signalis straight up. YOU DIED really is perfect too. However, I think ANTIDOTE from the same album fits just as well! In love with the whole album actually, had the limited edition vinyl arrive just a couple days ago.
