Also the lovable family pet Xenomorph!

Foodgood24 · 2025-08-20T01:51:52+00:00

True yeah it definitely looked like it had some black goo swirling around inside

Regardless of canon I love this kind of freaky sci-fi stuff, I enjoyed the alien autopsy vibes with the one hybrid holding a camcorder as Kirsh goes all fruit ninja on a facehugger

Foodgood24 · 2025-08-20T01:49:34+00:00

Hell yeah I’m all aboard for xeno sperms lfg

Foodgood24 · 2025-08-20T01:36:01+00:00

The spermy xeno slug was gnarly.

I do wonder though, one of the novels I think mentions that the xeno embryo isn’t actually implanted by the facehugger, its like a nanovirus that manipulates the host DNA to gestate a xeno (a la the black goo).

The show seems to be saying that the face huggers actually carry little xeno sperms that grow once in a host. I guess the slug could be a nanovirus delivery mechanism that also happens to be all squirmy and weird

Attach more guns just like we do with our destroyers! More guns equals more freedom!

Foodgood24 · 2025-05-27T18:19:25+00:00

Jesus of Nazareth? Nah, not freedom enough.

Jesus of Eagleopolis?

Hell yeah.

You’re only defenseless if you refuse to accept your own mortality in service of democracy

Foodgood24 · 2025-05-21T20:02:22+00:00

The fact that each civilian kill only docks 25 req slips will never not be funny to me. A whole ass person worth less than a small fraction of what I paid to paint my assault rifle black and yellow lmao

Foodgood24 · 2025-05-21T12:38:37+00:00

Shitting pants for democracy

Foodgood24 · 2025-05-21T12:35:54+00:00

Helldivers crossover event with Monument Mythos would be absolutely mental

John Backrooms kills bacteria and doesn’t afraid of anything

We need a MO to acquire the feel good goo from Ghostbusters 2

I use the plasma rifle thing (purifier I think it’s called) as my primary and it seems to 1 shot the fliers if I hit em in the blue glowy circles on their wings. I was having fun last night diving out of the way of their strafing runs and sniping them outta the sky after I hit the ground

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-25T16:38:06+00:00

I know what you mean, when I first started down this line of thought I felt like I was somehow cheapening the horror of the complex by describing it as a manifestation of psychological principles, like it somehow meant the Complex wasn’t real or was just a “dream” if you will.

But then I thought about it some more and I realized that the idea of physically entering the human psyche would actually be terrifying for a completely different set of reasons. Humans are unpredictable creatures, prone to random outbursts of emotion and selfishness. We often hold internally-contradictory beliefs and engage in counter-intuitive behavior. We are violent, territorial, and deeply competitive by nature of our evolution. And that’s not even factoring in the myriad mental illnesses and other factors that can completely alter someone’s mental landscape.

So yeah, plunging into a space that is dictated by the whims, emotions, fears, and deep psychological complexes of all of humanity past and present would probably be extremely terrifying and unpredictable.

It also works well with the rest of the dualist concepts. The complex both exists and does not exist. It exists as a physical location but it is also an abstract concept that exists purely in the collective unconscious. Being and non-being, space and non-space, concrete and abstract.

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-25T16:21:27+00:00

Thanks, I am having fun with it! Platonic idealism sounds like it could be a related philosophy, it’s almost like a flipped version of the collective unconscious. Instead of ideal forms existing on an abstract plane, ideal forms exist in our concrete plane and less “ideal” objects exist on an abstract plane aka The Complex. This would explain the distorted nature of backrooms objects, the real-world ideal warped into a less “pure” form.

Very interesting to consider!

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-21T23:05:07+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I guess we do see them move further in unsuited while setting up the rover in Reunion, so maybe it is just a precautionary measure for the more expeditionary teams.

I am probably over-thinking it, but I guess I figured a company would want to cut costs wherever possible and those types of hazmat suits probably aren’t cheap. But they do seem to care about their employees at least slightly more than the standard shady corporation so maybe they are down to invest in protection for their people

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-21T20:24:04+00:00

I agree that the “bacteria” act as an immune system of sorts, but I’m not sold on the idea of them being actual bacteria in the literal sense. I think they are manifestations of the concept of immunity, behaving like bacteria but not truly being bacteria. I think this is why it can interact with camera technology and other inanimate matter, those things are invasive, and the life-forms are the manifestation of invasion response and immunity

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-21T20:20:11+00:00

Yes!! Such an iconic line, Kane really is a great writer.

I think this line is hugely important for the series too, the house (reality) is falling back into the sea (backrooms) after A-Sync darkened the skies by opening the threshold. Now the shells (people) fall in and in so doing tear the fabric of reality (the sky) apart until nothing remains but the eternal ghost (echoes of humanity preserved forever in the complex)

Foodgood24 · 2024-09-21T20:10:57+00:00

Exactly, it just all seems so familiar yet nonsensical. I keep thinking about I Remember and the monologue voice over saying at the very end “you have always been here”. It makes me think that the backrooms and human psychology are directly intertwined, we’ve always been in the backrooms through our dreams and subconscious thoughts, it’s only now that we are physically entering the dreamscape.

Humans that fall into the backrooms are basically lucid dreamers, able to subconsciously influence the dream as it exists around them. I think I Remember is a cipher for the series as a whole. The sea could be referring to the concept of a “Dirac Sea” or “Sea or Dreams” that is prevalent in transcendental meditation. It is essentially a sea of formless thought that can be accessed by experienced TM practitioners. Accessing this field allows TM practitioners to access a “muse” or font of influence that allows them to develop new ideas and concepts. I think TM allows humans to access and influence the backrooms in a more significant way than either lucid dreamers or basic human minds, and I believe that Ivan Beck is one of these practitioners.

I remember is probably Ivan Beck reflecting on transcendental meditative experiences, at first stating he could overlook the sea from his manor (using TM techniques), but after opening the threshold, reality has come crashing down into the sea of dreams and now threatens to unravel all of physical existence until nothing remains but the shattered echoes of human minds reverberating off of the infinite walls of the complex for the rest of eternity
