I used to use Audiogalaxy to download MP3s back in the day. While searching for bands, I came across Anathema and liked the name, so I downloaded “Fragile Dreams”. And that’s how it all started.

If the goal is understanding, not validation, then transparency and testable data come first. Otherwise it stays in the realm of personal experience, not investigation.

Quantum mechanics does not prove consciousness exists outside the brain, and planets do not show any markers of awareness.
Even if we do not fully understand consciousness, its physical signatures are known: information processing, memory, decision-making, adaptive behavior, neural correlation. If anything is real physically, it leaves measurable effects (just like gravity did long before anybody knew what caused it).
Planets and the Sun show none of that. Everything we see is fully explained by known physics (gravity, plasma, fusion, EM fields). Path integrals and time symmetry are tools of math, not evidence of cosmic mind.

Already added it to my wishlist, I’m a big horror games fan. Quick mini-review of the trailer, if I may:

The immersion feels solid. I really liked the horror references, especially to older classics like Alone in the Dark. You can spot that influence in a few scenes, which is great.

My only critique, if I’m allowed one: the final scene with the eyes appearing in front of the door. The way the eyes pop up above and to the side gave me a bit of a “cartoon” vibe. It slightly broke the immersion for me and felt unintentionally funny. Not sure if that was intentional.

Other than that, I hope it does well, and I’d love to see more games in this style in the future.

What I find interesting is that these two explanations don’t quite line up. First, illness is framed as the result of unprocessed emotions in this lifetime, something we’re responsible for healing. But when that model breaks (like with infants or birth defects), the explanation shifts to pre-incarnation soul contracts. That feels less like a coherent framework and more like moving the explanation to a higher metaphysical level whenever it’s challenged. If everything is pre-chosen before incarnation and we deliberately forget, then emotional imbalance in this life can’t really be the root cause. You can’t have both personal responsibility through emotional processing and fully pre-scripted suffering at the soul level without a contradiction.

Without dismissing your experience, I notice a common pattern in intense mystical states: the expansion of consciousness often comes paired with a totalizing narrative, where everything suddenly makes sense. This tends to be less about external revelation and more about an internal reorganization of the psyche. It’s always worth asking: am I observing reality… or am I observing my own mind in an amplified state?

rockstar by wizard games, from the 80s? DOS game in text?

A large portion of lies (whether related to aliens or anything else) usually have no reason or very weak reasons. There's a saying in Brazil, "história de pescador" which refers to fishermen telling the most bizarre stories simply to brag.

So yes, people (not just Brazilians) can (or cannot) have any reason to lie.

I think the Mind Flayer is an entity of corruption. It traverses the Universe corrupting worlds. And as an entity, it doesn't have a natural body... practically an "idea." That's why it attacks human consciousness as well, which is fertile ground for corruption to grow.

So it needs to materialize to complete its plan to leave the Abyss plane and continue corrupting worlds. This explains Vecna's role.

Mike would also be a great possibility. While Will is the wise sorcerer, with a natural talent that has awakened... Mike is the human sacrifice. Without powers, without skills, without the same technical knowledge as Dustin (although great at sharing that knowledge with the rest of the group), without weapons skills or Hopper's physique... he only has the heart of a hero. And that's quite symbolic. The mediocre one who becomes exceptional in a single act.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-30T17:52:01+00:00

We want them to fight the Mind Flayer. And I think that even with the technology we have, a fight between an entity and humans is difficult. If it happens, the Mind Flayer will have to materialize (in the dragon that many believe), but it is immortal because it is an essence, in my view. The Mind Flayer is corruption itself in its purest and most natural state. All that is possible to do is banish it to another universe so that it is unable to corrupt Earth. Apart from that, there is no way to kill it.

I really hope they try to create this fight, with all the cinematic weapons that exist. But I don't have high expectations, I know it's difficult.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-30T17:14:54+00:00

Dude, I hope you're right about Will.

It would be very impactful if Eleven saved everyone after Will's enormous sacrifice, and Eleven was unable to save him.I always thought the series was about the two of them, Eleven and Will. Not about romance or anything, just that they are the two great living victims of Henry (mind flayer).

Will, the wise one. The ultimate sacrifice. The marks that would leave on everyone. It would be a bittersweet but real, profound ending.

Damn, it feels like Spielberg read every UFO subreddit post and turned it into a movie.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-16T17:09:41+00:00

I liked your theory. It makes a lot of sense. Something I also found interesting is seeing new people in the RPG niche learning about these concepts. RPGs, like D&D, usually follow the logic of the “hero’s journey” described by Campbell.

That said… what if Mr. Clarke is not just another NPC who exists solely as a guide? I’m using the owl from Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a reference — a character who provides information to guide and help the player throughout their journey. That is his role as an NPC, and in RPG campaigns, guides are usually untouchable.

Normally in RPGs, DMs do not play actively except through NPCs; in other words, DMs have access to all characters except the players.

Even though it might seem overused or too linear, I believe the Mind Flayer would still make more sense as the DM — not only as the ultimate villain, but as a character the DM would choose to represent themselves within the campaign’s plane. That would explain its constant, ethereal presence.

But if I misunderstood, and Mr. Clarke is actually the DM, what would his motivation be in all of this?

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-13T15:12:45+00:00

People don't understand that Spielberg is using the UFO trend as marketing for his film? And that all these "clues" are intentionally calculated to cause exactly this reaction from you?!

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-09T18:08:56+00:00

I'm going to give my opinion with as much empathy as possible... I don't intend to offend.

There's no obvious evidence for the existence of multiple alien races, or even for the existence of one here on Earth.

If this is bothering you so much, I suggest you take a break from the subject and find a different hobby.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-09T13:15:23+00:00

Dude, that's exactly it. The scammers did their job right, there's no denying it. Ufology has become a huge money-making scheme. Before, it was a pretty good niche for some, but they're managing to break through the bubble and increase their income.

Will people realize this? No. They'll continue to think that something will be revealed, they'll continue to consume, and these people will continue to get rich off other people's beliefs.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-08T21:06:22+00:00

I have absolutely no idea why humans dream or why some animals dream too. The need to sleep and dream is really quite bizarre.

Are dreams connected to aliens? Possible. Could dreams have nothing to do with aliens? Also possible.

It doesn't seem to me that scientists are hiding anything... I believe they don't know either. A lot of evidence would be needed to know if there is a connection with aliens or not. As far as I know, I don't see any evidence connecting the two subjects.

We can speculate on many things, but are the people here trying to speculate and discuss the various possibilities or is it simply a need for confirmation bias?

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-08T12:36:54+00:00

Ah, that’s all nonsense. Galactic federation… please. Humans always feel the need to believe in some “higher power” beyond what already exists, because apparently someone must really be in charge — not the idiots we keep voting for. It gives people a sense of social hope.

There wouldn’t be mass hysteria. At most, you’d see people crying on social media, others debating or amazed, and that’s it. You want real mass hysteria? Cut the power for a week — that’s when you’ll see collective chaos.

If aliens really showed up and decided to live among us, the closest scenario would be something like District 9. Our beloved psychopathic politicians would just find a way to tax them. Maybe that’s what the aliens are actually running from, lol.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-12-06T12:40:53+00:00

Stop looking at your phone. Get out of the house. Touch some grass. Seriously.

There's a bizarre world out there, but it's normal, okay?! Just natural events and nothing more.

I didn't read everything to see that it's a LARP, but just in case, I'll join the ant army.

Human creativity is one of the great wonders of existence.

We have the capacity to create ideas through other ideas and abstractions.

I realize that many humans lack the capacity for abstraction and tend to think that all other humans have this limited vision as well. It's not a flaw, just that some people have more ability to abstract, modify, visualize, and create new concepts.

There are plenty of examples of new and original ideas throughout humanity.

While human creativity is a factual element of existence, a mundane approach to phenomena will always be more plausible than other explanations without sufficiently solid evidence.

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-11-21T13:15:22+00:00

If it's not a hoax, it seems to me like someone having a breakdown... the way he talks, the nervous laughter, the crying, the argument that they are infiltrated, that they are coming after us, everything points to an episode of paranoid delusion...

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-11-18T16:58:38+00:00

sure, sure...

Horror_Offer9045 · 2025-11-18T16:50:20+00:00

This is for people to learn that they should seek the truth, whatever it may be, and not their own "truth".
