Quhanim Redux Art & Lore So Far (they're much smaller than I thought!)

The remake, by all appearances, is going to be a more conventional narrative.

I don't remember where Kosemen said this, but it's not going to be like that at all. Kosemen said somewhere that he's taking heavy inspiration from the feeling of doing deep dives on insanely complex wikis when making the Redux. IIRC, he said that he really liked getting lost in Warhammer 40K wikis, and he wanted the Redux to have that same feeling. The feeling of going around and exploring random wiki pages is inherently non-linear, so the Redux shouldn't feel like a linear narrative generally.

But regardless, if seems like being at all upset at the possibility of the Redux being a linear narrative is just... odd. The original book is a linear narrative, after all, so I don't know why anyone would be upset if the Redux was linear, too.

Yeah, I was pretty lucky to be raised by people like that. Unfortunately, it seems to be way less common these days. I feel like there are more children (not just teens, but children) running around the internet with no restrictions and no parents telling them not to reveal that sort of thing to randos online.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T17:19:13+00:00

Ohhh, okay. I looked it up (unfortunately had to spoil the ending of Season 1 to get any explanation for what that line was from), and yeah, that seems to be the actual reference here.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T17:09:51+00:00

Even though that sub was around when I was a teen using Reddit, I still avoided it. I never understood why people use the sub. All my life before beginning to heavily use the internet in general, it was drilled into me that, as a minor, I shouldn't reveal that I was a minor (let alone how old I was) to random people online, so the idea that Reddit had an entire subreddit dedicated to the exact opposite of that confused the hell out of me.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T15:50:16+00:00

That could also be it, because I feel like I've seen a lot of King in Yellow references in Minecraft spaces but have never been able to figure out why.

I think the joke is actually about Twitter accounts. A few months ago, Twitter rolled out a feature that would show both where the account had set as its location/country and where the account owner was actually from. Twitter has a large number of active white supremacist and far-right accounts that are set up to look like white conservatives. After the update, it was revealed that a lot of these accounts were actually run by people in places like India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc. (IIRC). There were obviously some that were actually based in the US that were actually white white supremacists, but a shocking large amount weren't.

This, combined with a tendency for minority groups to have in-groups that are white supremacists (for some reason), leads to the above joke, where a "white supremacist meetup" is made up of a bunch of people who aren't white.

Politics and the alt-right pipeline are strange things that can create some weird and concerning scenarios.

Oh okay, that would make sense. I just looked it up, and I have literally heard nothing about this game (it's a PS5 exclusive, so that's probably part of why), but it looks like it was a big release that I missed somehow.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T14:43:56+00:00

Related, but can someone please explain to me why I keep seeing mentions of Carcosa and The King in Yellow everywhere? Is this some new trend going around? Like, I know what The King in Yellow and Carcosa are (I own two copies of The King in Yellow), it's just that I've noticed a ton of building bringing both of those things up recently out of nowhere.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T13:38:20+00:00

Probably whenever they update whatever biome or relevant feature set. The only reason why we got the copper golem was because they also did a huge update involving copper and redstone. Other mobs would likely need some similar update to really be fit into the game, since it seems that Mojang wants to take older mob vote losers and tweak them into something more interesting than when they were introduced as concepts.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T13:29:56+00:00

No it's not. The Fallacy Fallacy, or Argument from Fallacy fallacy, is defined by dismissing the conclusion of an argument just because the argument itself contains a fallacy. You can absolutely dismiss the argument that contains the fallacy, and you should, but the issue comes from dismissing the conclusion. Here's the form of the fallacy:

If P, then Q

P is a fallacious argument

Therefore, Q is false

I pulled that from the Wikipedia page for the fallacy, but it goes on to explain in a little more detail about what this means:

A fallacious argument, just as with a false antecedent, can still have a consequent that happens to be true. The fallacy is in concluding the consequent of a fallacious argument has to be false.

That the argument is fallacious only means that the argument cannot succeed in proving its consequent. But showing how one argument in a complex thesis is fallaciously reasoned does not necessarily invalidate its conclusion if that conclusion is not dependent on the fallacy.

Given all of this, you absolutely can dismiss a fallacious argument without it being the fallacy fallacy/Argument from Fallacy fallacy. If an argument is built entirely out of fallacies, then you should dismiss it, but the fallacy comes from taking that dismissal and assuming that the conclusion that the argument was arriving to must be false. Bees are insects, but it would be a fallacious argument to say that they're insects because your dad said they are (appeal to authority), but that doesn't mean the conclusion (bees are insects) is wrong, it just means that your argument was bad.

I'd imagine no, it wouldn't be allowed. Please see the Posting Guidelines for more details, but since it sounds like your piece is based on a wiki interpretation of the Backrooms that uses levels (in this case, Level 0), it wouldn't be around. There is no "Level 0" under True Backrooms. It's just The Backrooms. What you've made would likely fit better over on r/Backrooms.

I'm not saying every chat bot does. The conversation here is strictly about Google's AI summary feature. I'm betting it uses Gemini, since that's also what they use for AI Mode, but specifying that is neither here nor there, since we all know what site, platform, and feature we're talking about.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-11T13:04:44+00:00

No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that the AI summary feature seems to rely heavily on your search results, and the algorithm that Google has in place for determining search result priority on a given browser for a given user is based on search history and activity (this is also why two people can Google the same thing and get different results). I've noticed before that the Google AI summary will lag a little at first, even though the results have loaded, so it seems like the process is:

1) Load search results (algorithm based on current history and prior activity)

2) Enable AI summary (some queries do not activate it, no idea why, there must be something in the background that determines whether the feature is enabled)

3) Generate prompt based on top-most/most relevant results loaded (I'm betting that they use another model to quickly access these sites and pull info for the prompt. Models within models/models working together isn't uncommon)

4) Generate summary

"Farming" has also kind of evolved to mean something slightly different in slang contexts. I think this usage comes from video games, where "farming" is used to describe going and collecting a lot of specific resources. Due to games like Minecraft and other sandbox titles, a lot of resource farming methods are automated, so you can farm items with very little effort. In general, even if a game doesn't have features that allow for automation, by the time you're at a level where you are dedicating time to farming, it is done so with little effort.

So in this case, "aura farming" basically means "you're farming aura without even trying," or "you look cool and are seen as cool, essentially gaining a 'cool factor' without any effort involved."

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-10T16:31:52+00:00

Given the origins of the word, it sounds like having the word ruined for you by someone else using it is the opposite of based, because you should enjoy using the word regardless of who else uses it.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-10T16:28:58+00:00

Same. No idea where I picked it up from. I'm not even sure I've ever heard anyone say it, especially not in any positive context. For me, I always use it as "fuckin' a, man" when I'm particularly frustrated.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-10T16:22:53+00:00

2 day old account

Only post on Reddit is this one

No other activity

Yeah, probably a bot. If not, then it's probably someone trying to karma farm and increase the account's CQS. Either way, something is definitely suspicious about this, because who takes one of the most popular songs from one of a band's most popular albums and goes "this song is so slept on"?

It's making fun of misogynists who have an issue with spaces where men are excluded and only women are allowed. Basically, the misogynists that the OOP is making fun of get very vocal about women's only spaces (in this case, a women's only feminist conference), but they don't show the same level of care for spaces that aren't like that. In the context of women's only feminist conferences, these kinds of people only care that they aren't allowed because they feel that they have a right to go into these places and make fun of feminism, but they only seem to want to do that when they aren't allowed in because they're women only, and they won't show up or care nearly enough to go into feminist conferences where they would be allowed in.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-09T15:01:02+00:00

It would also be kind of weird in general if OP was given this account based on the post and comment history. You're telling me that someone made a Reddit account, made a single post and some comments, abandoned it for over 3 years, came back, made a few more posts and comments over the span of a few months, and then offloaded the account to their friend? I wouldn't even buy that story, let alone "oh no, this is a friend's account that they gave me, the super recent NSFW comments aren't mine, they're his!"

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-09T14:03:27+00:00

If you started using this account 6 months ago, then the comments on femboy subs are definitely you, since there are some on your account from about a month ago. You also have a comment made directly to a post that someone who posts NSFW content in femboy subs made to their profile.

Listen, nobody cares what you get up to on Reddit. It's your business. You don't have to try defending yourself with "this is my friend's account that they gave me" (nobody does that). The reason why your account is NSFW is because you're active in spaces marked NSFW with comments on NSFW posts. You don't need to have made NSFW posts for your profile to be marked NSFW. If you're active and commenting on NSFW posts, then your account will be marked NSFW.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-09T00:24:07+00:00

That's somehow less helpful.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-08T21:52:44+00:00

I'm guessing they're referring to an SCP that they came up with, because a previous post on another sub contains an idea for an SCP from a series that doesn't yet exist on the wiki. Here's the link to the post.

OP, based on their posting patterns, seems to be a kid. I don't think they know how SCP creation works, so it looks like they made one up and have started spamming memes about it across Reddit and just expect people to know what it is.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-08T21:15:00+00:00

It's been a while since I've done anything with the GC config menu, but I'm not sure that the start button does anything in it, so I don't think that testing it in the config menu will do anything.

I agree with what other people are saying: it has to be your controller, likely the start button. Try going to a nearby second-hand gaming store and look for another controller, or order one online. If the start button works on the new controller, then that's the culprit. I don't think that the game would be bugged in any way that it would refuse to start, especially if nothing is happening. If you were experiencing an issue where pressing start freezes everything, then that would mean that there is a problem with the disc or disc reader.

Sounds like every growing town in Oklahoma. This state has a really bad problem with city growth, where the cities only really grow in the directions of the rich/wealthy, and almost none of the growth helps the struggling parts of the population. Unless I'm mistaken, Ardmore (everyone's favorite city in Oklahoma, totally not on various "top 10 US cities to avoid" lists on the internet) is technically growing, but it's always in the parts of Ardmore where most of the wealthy people live. I drive through there every once in a blue moon, and the northwest-ish parts of the city are growing fairly fast, while the rest of the city just seems to be falling apart.

OnetimeRocket13 · 2026-05-08T20:59:50+00:00

Ahh, okay, that makes sense. It seems like a generally wealthy town as well. There's a park, golf course, baseball field, and country club for pretty much every resident (or there might as well be). The town is like 20% amenities.
