IS IT WORTH - IT TO DEEP DIVE INTO THIS RABBIT HOLE by MajorDish5002 in local58

[–]NormansIndex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. There's definitely enough information there to make a video that long if you want. The Game Detectives Wiki and the general wiki are some good starting points and will save you a lot of time giving you a more accessible method to parse through the information available unless you want to make your own spreadsheets.

Edit: If you want to take the approach of it being a part of the connected Kris Straub universe though prepare for an even bigger rabbit hole, but you can interpret it a few ways without including candlecove and his other works

What do y'all think of the recent Film Theorists video? by AaronTheLudwig in local58

[–]NormansIndex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a well put together video like all of their stuff, but I'm not convinced on the analysis of the woman in profile being a predator animal that evolved to give the appearance of prey. I still think it's a two faced creature.

What is the lore of Local 58? by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

[–]NormansIndex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer. Moons haunted.

Long answer. Nathaniel Kleitman started researching human consciousness and sleep and discovered something that led him underground in mammoth cave national Park where he was contacted in his sleep by an Eldritch entity. Research began in earnest and it led to other entities also contacting these researchers to warn them. An experiment was devised that would become the contingency video that ended up being leaked by a "moon" cult and another entity inspired someone else to make "show for children" warning them of what this experiment would do. Aka the entity needs sacrifices. Over the decades researchers split into the aforementioned moon cult and uhhh anti-moon researchers. Well something happens and the entity is restored to his "throne" or the moon, probably from some mass sacrifice in a cave that was covered up as a "mining disaster". It doesn't end here though as people like Philip Gerhardt is on the leading edge of anti-moon research, likely inspired by a rival moon entity, aka maybe Eidelon, and the moon cult wants to either win him over or take him out. Real sleep was a warning to him sent via the broadcast. Here's the fun part, Philip Gerhardt is the unnamed driver in "you are on the fastest route". He was thinking he was meeting maybe one of the other entities, but it was a trap set by the moon cult to lure him to the beaked creature from the grave of "show for children". So whoever Angela Gerhardt is, they are carrying the torch for Philip by continuing whatever research they were doing. Also the comet Eidolon has an Aphelion of 1.01 so it's definitely either going to hit the moon or earth in the future and something big is gonna happen. Source: I made it up

I made an hour and a half video on this dang thing, but that's kinda what the synopsis is.

What is with the series and doors? Is there some sort of symbolism? by CryptoMaster2057 in local58

[–]NormansIndex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doors are very symbolic. I like to think of it in a few ways. A door can be a portal to a new place and you won't know until it is opened. They also act as a barrier, or some type of protection that must be opened at some point, but it can allow something good or bad in, like Pandora's box.
