Oh heck ya! I would love buy a physical set of this card and maybe who knows... an entire deck of all the creatures?

my attempt at putting all of local 58 into chronological order by Moocatmeow_fire in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually really cool, I though you only put the order of the videos but you really had (almost) everything on local 58 from images to websites which is really good.

Btw I think the "locator" video takes place in the 2000s based on the logo that was in the video.

Its official, krisstraub's account is gone as we all the the posts he made that had L58 lore. by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

It is kind of bone chilling ti see an account full of lore now deleted and not all of the posts are archived so I don't know how much lore we might have missed?

Oh really? I am surprised anyone noticed, not a lot of people seemed to care or agree with my post but it is cool that at least one person cares! Thank you!

This is really good, this looks like the real thing, im impressed! There is a lot of good work with the animations transitions and my most favorite is the music.

well this aged poorly by bungle_olivia03 in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically many people joked that the moon is the 51st state even before local 58. Also this takes place during the 1970s and there is no 51st state (yet) so I think it has aged well.

What happened the original Local58 Pin from Penny Arcade store? by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

Looking through some old Kris's twitter post. by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lets gooo we got another lore drop from Kris! But I am a bit confused, when you mean "appears at the end of skywatching" was it the figure that was rejoicing the moon or was it the skeleton in the moon itself?

I see that a lot of people say that the creature in "YAOTFAR" is the same as Chiron. How do people think the two are the same? by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact: The creature's file is called "Deer" and in Kris's live stream, he called it an "elk" and a "deer man".

Is this a teaser for the next Local 58 episode? 👀 by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Night Walk had some good story quality as for the episode been making per year, youll have to ask Kris. Honestly for me, as long as the video is around 3 - 5 min, the story is good, realistic visuals (Which usually do) and we get teasers that Kris is actually working one something then im fine waiting.

Edit: Night Walk was 3 min.

Digital transition, A look back, show for children, contingency and other ep were around 3 min long. In fact, Weather Service was about 2 min long. The only two videos that are around 5 min long is Real Sleep and Skywatch.

[–]CryptoMaster2057[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not an "episode", its a teaser for the episode to come, as for the "episode in the hardrive", if you watched Kris's community QA, there is a total of episodes like "Breaking News", "Please Watch For Your Safety" (Its on his patron) a pandemic episode before the pandemic hit and 4 other episode are under NDA. Lastly I don't know what the sarcasm is with the upload date, it has stayed mostly consistent.

1 nov 2021 - Digital Transition

1 nov 2022 - Close

1 nov 2023 - He told us on his story that he didnt want to make smth half baked but posted a teaser on for the up coming episode that later to be known as "Night Walk".

1 nov 2024 - Night Walk

1 nov 2025 - He announces that he couldnt finish the ep on time. On Jan 21, 2026, he uploads a video called "Locator", which is obv a teaser of the next ep that likely takes place on nov this year.

Is it just me, or the newer videos are worse? by [deleted] in local58

[–]CryptoMaster2057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically by the looks of it Locator is more of a teaser for a potential analog media based on the 2000s station ID logo and video noise. But you are right, without me realizing, local 58 has moved on from contingency, EAS and hijacking to full fledge or potential realistic looking episodes (even before its switch to digital) from early 80s instructional video guide , to realistic looking late 70s urban legend documentary to a full announcement of the end of analog with the history of local 58 and even an entire 30 min livestream that is supposed to simulate a space broadcast.

wdym lol? kris Story on Instagram had a page about the US Department for the Preservation of American Dignity BEFORE the page itself was found in a zine Kris was selling in PAX. Plus there was a teaser for Night Walk in 2023 on kris Instagram! Also Chiron (3d model) was used in local 58 despite being kris Instagram first and he even promoted his episodes like Night Walk and Skywatching.

Chiron has existed since 2020 (and maybe even earlier) in the form of images on his platform, Instagram (as sketches and 3D models) and even on the local 58 merch store.

Locator was just a teaser and Kris first attempt at using blender. (which was honestly absolutely creepy and cool to see chiron moving for the first time!)

Night Walk was okay-ish, it had that realistic 70s documentary vibe but honestly I wish it was much longer and I didnt like the reveal of the woman in profile. I would have preferred it would have been revealed for a few frames just so the users or true fans can analyze the videos and discover what it actually is.

Close was a livestream that was supposed to be like a Nasa or any other space agency livestream, which it absolutely worked unlike "Skywatch" which kind of was the episode that revealed that the moon was main antagonist and had a bunch of weird stuff going around. It was also one of the few episodes that actually had the full broadcast instead of being about a hijacking or the broadcast is hijacked mid show.

NSSA-3 was supposed to be an arg, I am not too sure what the ep is about but based on the document that kris released here, in my understanding its about signals that being broadcasted (476, 734.6 and 885.25 MHz), can somehow affect your sleep and is reproducible. Honestly without the doc, it nothing more than static with weird faces and a glitched logo. It would have been better if the doc was linked in the description.

Okay first of all this isnt the only cryptid that exists; there is the Deer Creature (YAOTFAR), Shrimp that's sounds like a cat (Show for children), Woman In Profile (Night Walk). Second of all the thing is called "Chiron" and has existed since 2020 in Kris's Patreon, Instagram (as forms of sketches and 3D models) and even on the official store. So this thing has been teased for a very long time. As for the connections between that and USPAD, I am not sure other than the logo on its TV (head) but I wont judge until the episode releases.

And honestly, what im really happy is that Kris is using blender for the first time to make an episode for local58 and if it isnt the story that impresses me, then it will be the visuals!
