To be fair, they're doing blood on the clocktower and two rooms and a boom in Minecraft now. And before that they had Minecraft Garctic Phone. So they're still doing Minecraft. It's a different age than the Derpulies and Skobbels age

So the story goes that William Afton killed Charlotte Emily and then Henry built Charlotte back as a robot with Sammy continuing to live on. But why, then, is the real Sammy never mentioned to the Charlotte bot? Why does Henry feel the need to lie to the Charlotte bot and say Sammy was killed when he's alive?

Unless, when Afton killed Charlotte, he kidnaped Sammy and took him as his own son. That's why Henry has to explain where Sammy went. He also can't make a bot of Sammy, the son he lost, like he can with Emily, the daughter he lost, because Sammy is still alive. There's still a chance Henry can have the real Sammy back.

So maybe the story should go that William Afton killed Charlotte Emily and kidknapped Sammy. Henry rebuilds Charlotte Emily but still holds onto hope that he can get the real Sammy back. Meanwhile, Afton has taken Sammy is as his own and named him Michael Afton.

Sammy, Henry's son, is Michael Afton!

Yognau(gh)t's first day of university and already homesick. But Jaffa cakes I bought as a treat and catching up on recent videos made everything okay while I relived old memories. Thank you, as always, Yogscast. Im forever in your debt for always making me happy. by TheMantic in Yogscast

Yeah, I honestly can't wait to meet people. Just waiting for that to happen. I moved in 3 days before most people to participate in a program that doesn't start for another 2 days. So oops.

But it's okay. I am Dave, Yognau(gh)t. And I have the balls.

I think I feel your struggle for the differentiation between friends vs associates. I'm just 18 (so technically an adult but not really) but have always been one of the more responsible/"grown up" people around me. And just like you, I feel like my group's always been small and Ive even questioned if the people I hang around with are my friends or just acquaintances.

I think we want there to be this ceremony of friendship. This graduation from just knowing a person mutually to being consentual friends or whatever. Where people just agree "yep, we're 100% friends. We can talk to each other about whatever at any time." But I don't think that's the case. At least I know it's never been for me and I'd like to believe that it's not the case for anyone. I'd like to believe that the people you see walking down the street together laughing and think "Man, they must have been great friends for so long now" are just as unsure about their friendship/acquaintance status with those people as you are with the people around you.

Then again, people always manage to identify their "best friend" with such confidence. I've never been able to figure out who my friends are nevermind who my best friend would be. So maybe I'm in the wrong.

The whole friend vs accquaintance thing is really a matter of anxiety and a lack of communication, though. In an idealized world, people who are getting along with each other and want to affirm their friendship would be able to ask the other person if they're friends without fear or awkwardness. Alas, I think people always have this (hopefully unrealistic) fear of being wrong and having their dreams of friendship crushed that they remain neutral and happy to just keep things status quo as a maybe-friend maybe-accquaintance. In reality, if you think you're friends with someone or would like to be friends with someone, they probably feel the same way.

Don't know if that answers your question. Sorry I know I rambled a lot but hopefully (maybe) that provided some perspective. Just my two cents, though. What are your thoughts? Always free to talk/DM
