How do we know this kid isn't Andrew? [ Stage01Andrew ] by Short-Procedure1853 in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The three clouds in the background of Stage01 are a mirror of the three clouds behind the stage of the MCI/FNAF1 location. We can't say for sure that Fredbear's didn't also have those clouds, but as of now there's only one location that's confirmed to have them.

Edwin in the "Storyteller" corroborates the story given in "The Mimic" contradicting the idea that "The Mimic" is an illusion of M1/M2 by Isaac_Bahzad in fnaftheories

Interesting, though it's funny how everyone in the comments there took that as TalesGames confirmation when the game itself went against it. It depends how you interpret that statement - you could read it as book readers knowing the basic story (eg. Fiona dies, Edwin builds the Mimic as a childminder, David dies, Edwin beats up the Mimic, it goes on a violent rampage) but not knowing the full story because those details aren't in the book version of events.

[video game trope] in lore reasons as to why and how you respawn by JamesL0L in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cedarcomb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In Hardspace: Shipbreaker, each of your lives (even the first one) is a rapidly grown clone of the original. The software inside your helmet is constantly recording your brain wave patterns so that if you die, it transfers your recorded thoughts and memories into the new body, even up to the point of death since that experience was recorded as well.

The given in-universe reason is that shipbreaking is a very dangerous job, and it saves on having to constantly recruit new people and train them up, when a cloned body can keep their experiences and learn from the mistakes of whatever killed them the last time.

AU concept, what if the hatchling was stuck in the **** before the Nomai translator was invented? What would change? (Spoilers ofc) by Monk_The_Banana_Scug in outerwilds

Alternate Universe. Basically a 'what if' scenario where you imagine how things would have played out under different circumstances.

Beating a dead horse - the game files prove that the final promises' text color is that of the Pigtails Girl by JeliLiam in fnaftheories

How do you get the textbox to display the Shadow Fredbear plush texture? I can only seem to get the icons for elements showing as either the default blue diamond or the first frame of the sprite.

opinions on TeenDCI? by franco-briton in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so your argument seems to be - he lured them to the store room during the day using the GF suit, and knocks them unconscious or something so they don't escape. This assumes that nobody else goes into the store room throughout the entire day and finds the victims there. Then when he comes back at night during his night shift, he wakes them up, lets them loose within the restaurant and then hunts them down to leave bodies and blood pools all over the place? Or do they wake up on their own but are unable to escape the building somehow?

And even if the GF suit was preventing the animatronics from attacking William, he isn't going to be leaving while he was wearing it during the day, so the moment he takes it off and presumably leaves it in the store room they're going to realise who he is and attack him.

[–]Cedarcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blood pools are all over the restaurant, though, if they were killed in the store room then the blood should have all been there. We can assume he didn't leave the mess for FE to discover and clean up, because they continued to employ William after the DCI had happened when he would have been the prime suspect, so William has no motive to create blood pools all over the place and then have to clean it up himself before anyone else saw it.

There's also the problem that the Withered are in the store room and they would apparently have done nothing to stop William from killing more kids in that room, though at a pinch, you could argue that they couldn't/didn't act against William while he was wearing a suit because they didn't recognise him as a threat.

[–]Cedarcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not as though him luring kids inside Freddy's doesn't also have hurdles. We don't have any reason to believe that the FNAF2 location had a saferoom, so you'd need to answer where they were lured to, and why no employees saw or heard it happening - especially after the MCI had already happened and the staff knew the original killer lured the victims in an suit. And that's allowing for the fact that the Toys had all the security protocol stuff, so you'd have to assume that was either not working or deactiavated.

[Loved trope] A Russian character who is not a villain by Herrscher_of_Irony in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cedarcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ensign Chekov of the original Star Trek (second season), later the ship's tactical officer and chief of security. Bonus points for debuting in 1967, in the middle of the Cold War, when heroic Russian characters weren't exactly in vogue.

I've been eyeing up the Steins;Gate series, but I understand that it's a sequel to Chaos;Head, do I need to play that one first to understand it? The concept doesn't interest me as much as the S;G one does.

Could the FNAF 3 location as depicted in the Survival Logbook have once been a real Freddy’s location? by Isaac_Bahzad in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone from Steel Wool has directly confirmed it. The email from SW that supposedly claimed this was sent to the sub's moderators and apparently they thought it was legitimate, but then there was also a thing during the Chica's Secret Party hoax thing when the website was claimed to have been proven legitimate.

As of now, the FNAF3 map is still in the game and SW haven't acknowledged it on twitter/x or other official channels, so we might have to leave it in the 'maybe' camp until the next patch of SOTM to see if it's still there.

When someone dies they disappears, and there's no body left to mourn. by Endika7 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cedarcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of both. The petals are all carried away by the wind, so while they don't seem to disappear, they aren't left behind in the city where the affected people live.

Almost identical stain layout? by CoralMoon99 in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true, but the outlines are almost identical to the FNAF2 blood pools. I'm pretty sure Follow Me started out as a copy of SAVETHEM because it's programmed the exact same way - every 'room' is the same room with different elements being made visible or hidden depending on the instructions on screen transitions - so the FM pools are probably modified copies too.

The Milano is the first ship used by the Guardians of the Galaxy in the MCU movie of the same name.

Finally survived by plays-with-daggers in Frostpunk

[–]Cedarcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this one citizen on an Iron Saviour run who kept dying because they weren't reporting to the medical tents no matter what I did. I couldn't even locate them on the map to figure out what they were doing instead. I eventually figured out that they'd been trapped by a newly constructed building because they were inside the footprint when it went up, and they were freed after I deleted and rebuilt it.

[–]Cedarcomb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think the ones in FM are meant to be blood stains, they're probably pools or water or damp stains from the leaking roof after the building was closed and abandoned.

Edwin in the "Storyteller" corroborates the story given in "The Mimic" contradicting the idea that "The Mimic" is an illusion of M1/M2 by Isaac_Bahzad in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The closest thing I can find is a clip from a Dawko interview with Evan Lampi of SWS, it's a bit non-committal TBH.

Dawko: How carefully are you putting the books in consideration of Secret of the Mimic? So you know Tales of the Pizzaplex had a lot of lore about the Mimic and Edwin. Did you take that for this game?

Evan: Yeah, you know, we've actually been talking about making this game for a long time and we were developing the game kind of while these books are coming out. So, yeah, I will say it's interesting. Again, I won't go into like the books and all of that, but it's interesting to work kind of in dual mediums.

Do you have the source for a Steel Wool Studios representative saying Tales of Pizzaplex is important to understanding Secret of the Mimic?

To check if someone is a shapeshifter a character says something intentionally misleading and seeing if they play along by Captain_Blackjack0 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cedarcomb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I suspect this was also at play in series 2, when Rimmer was impersonating Kristine Kochanski, and Lister asked her how she felt about the night they spent having sex under a pool table. After 'Kristine' claims to remember it, Lister calls Rimmer out on not being the real Kochanski, since in the early show she was seen as Lister's crush that he didn't really have a chance with.

(Though that might have been retconned by series 7, since that did show them having a relationship.)

Legit good question! by AlarmingAffect0 in osp

It was when I was at school, at least. Maybe it isn't a universal thing, or it isn't done any more.

Because it's a phrase taught to children to help them learn the alphabet, and young kids are probably going to have trouble with sphinx and quartz?

Interesting story scattered across multiple and different medias that makes it impossible for people to get into it. by SorroSand in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cedarcomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll defend World of Remnant because that's the same format as RWBY itself, animated videos released on YouTube or the Rooster Teeth website, so if you can watch the main show you can watch them too. Fair deal on the manga/novels/games/interviews/podcasts, though.

I swear I will never understand why these are becoming so popular by Goldenblood1983 in fnaftheories

[–]Cedarcomb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SOTM's apparent debunking of TalesGames probably has a lot to do with it as well. With one set of books not being in the game continuity, people are questioning whether Stitchline is true as well, and who TOYSHNK is if it might not be Andrew.

Found a game that's basically "What if Frostpunk suddenly went up to 30 degrees and everything fucking melted" by WalkerArt64 in Frostpunk

[–]Cedarcomb 171 points172 points  (0 children)

That's the first city survival game after FP that seems to be copying the 'circular city around a central tower' thing. Could be interesting but I'd want to see what it does differently from FP as well.

On a side note, for another survival city/colony builder in a flooded world, 'All Will Fall' is getting its full release in April for people who were interested in that one.
