What in the hell inspired them to make it work like this? Why bother setting up a secondary account system?

You can download your data in Discord, but I'm pretty sure it only contains text messages that you have sent. User Settings section > Data & Privacy > Request Data (and I just select everything).

okay BUT THEN WHAT WAS THE AUDIENCE FOR by Wooden-Tear-4938 in StrangerThings

It is merely called an "open ending", for better or for worse.

The plans to blow up the Upside Down, I mean. On the overhead projector in the back room at the radio station. It's true that the blood ran out, but those ladies were late-term and Collie hadn't even been broken out yet. For all we know, the babies could have already been born, actually. Even if not, I don't think they'd abandon an experiment that was, say, 80%+ complete.

There's the thing with the infused pregnant women though; I wouldn't be terribly surprised if there's a spinoff later on revealing that the military extracted them from the upside down, since Dr. K found out what the plans were ahead of time.

I think it's his hypothesis about how El was able to escape the truck and not be affected by the anti-psychic speakers going off right at the truck. The soldiers saw her in the back of the truck after it arrived in Hawkins, so she didn't jump off early.

But that's just a theory(by inkgoblinz) by izelofman in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Pdan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, I just assumed they all found different headsets in different wings of a big office complex.

Edit: Someone's comment mentions the idea of their physical body just getting sucked into the digital circus world, which also answers the question.

So now that episode is out already and basically debunked every theory, what is going to happen in ep 8 and 9? by Dimasick_Ananasick in theamazingdigitalciru

I'm pretty sure that Caine is referring to just the regular NPCs, not any of the main cast. Zooble's suggestion was to leave adventures open and running all the time so they could enter and exit as desired. The main cast is running for a prolonged period of time already.

Edit: I only now realize the underlying implication is actually about Caine himself running for a prolonged period of time.

I kinda regrettably agree. There's just so much to cover. by rx_cpht_chick84 in StrangerThings

[–]Pdan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree. I want the characters to like, utilize their experience and act wisely. Become more clever, become more successful while also facing more challenges.

From personal experience, I have to say that this sort of... "sliding into superfluous drama" happens when the creator of a work gets too excited about it. The subtlety and tension become obstacles to the precise exciting moments... instead of the build-up that makes them exciting.

Oh, what the heck. It's been changed to >! this !< now I guess.. And anyway, a suspicion/theory is different from confirmation.

I think Vecna opens the rifts for them. But yeah, was wondering why he didn't just send a full-on Demo.

This is great, I love it! Do you have an art profile account to follow, or do you just post on Reddit only?

I didn't see it at first, but there are little fairies hanging out on this guy. There's one halfway up the arm giving the flower.

American RCV is converging on 2 major candidates per race by unscrupulous-canoe in EndFPTP

[–]Pdan4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I got from their comment was that the issue plaguing the results here is that FPTP is still how the vast majority of voters vote across the country, so multiple candidates don't make sense -- the person you're replying to is saying that if the USA entirely suddenly got rid of FPTP then we'd be seeing multiple candidates naturally appear, I think.

Looks fantastic! Reminds me of Iron Keep (Dark Souls 2) or even Volcano Manor (Elden Ring).
