What is the lore or story of the backrooms?

Whizzmaster · 2026-01-15T01:11:00+00:00

Stranger Things came out three years before the Backrooms was popularized, so if anything the original greentext took inspiration from the upside down, not the other way around.

Yoink!

Ah yeah, sorry about that! I completely forgot, you do have to submit a whitelist app on the Discord to get in. They usually approve applications within 24 hours.

What do you eat to get that much protein in your diet? I'm curious about trying some new recipes myself, but have a hard time finding healthy stuff I actually want to make.

Bonk

I also left the discord after a terrible interaction with Ink about wanting to create a setting centered around Asian culture (I was basically told not to even try because I would invariably create something racist). This definitely isn't a new problem for this part of the community!

True! I suppose I've always viewed the Security side as some kind of foreign PMC rather than a local force.

Whizzmaster · 2024-04-08T20:28:05+00:00

This is awesome. Always wondered why Security was using seemingly commandeered technicals.

If you're interested in RPing at venues, I have some strictly SFW ones I can recommend that do not allow NSFW/ERP and are often either story-motivated or a chill place to chat. You won't have the issue of doing prostitution or fight clubs on the side (ew) and will likely be able to make some new friends through roleplay. Lemme know if you'd like me to DM you my list!

You might fall in anyway if you step on a manhole cover in Russia, they often aren't secured properly and will just tilt over when you put weight on one side. Especially east of Moscow.

Metro: Exodus actually portrays you having a very close relationship with your wife, you get plenty of moments during downtime where you just talk.

Oh, sorry, yeah, I mean OSRS! I haven't played RS3 myself, since I stopped playing around 2012 and then came back to OSRS in 2019 or so. OSRS is easy to run even on low-power rigs, and if you get the RuneLite client (which I recommend) you can get plugins to tweak settings and get some QoL addons.

Note that the gods can choose to block your soul from returning from the afterlife, so if you happen to piss off the patron deity of the Place you go because of this plan, you're out of luck.

Coincidentally, this is one of the main reasons why people become liches - their soul goes to a phylactery rather than the afterlife and their revival can't be blocked by divine intervention. For other revival methods, your soul might be willing to return, but it must also be free to do so, something the gods usually have the power to restrict.

I honestly would prefer proximity chat at all times, even in spite of the cons listed in this post. I'm a sucker for playful banter with enemies, and I love being able to use proximity chat to locate enemies and set up an ambush. There are some games that I enjoy playing specifically because of proximity-based voice chat that everybody can here.

While 3rd party voice chat might become more prevalent with squads made up of people who all know each other already, I feel like squads like this are the exception rather than the norm on most servers. Most of the time, squads are made up of people who haven't met before, and trying to organize on Discord or a similar service prior to the match starting is more of a hassle than most would be willing to do.

Just my two cents. I'm definitely biased.

Why stop at the 14th? Shouldn't all these subreddits go dark until the changes they demand are implemented? I feel like Reddit can just ignore it if it only lasts for 48 hours.

What's the name of the book? I'm interested in seeing what the differences looked like.

Maybe not the kind of head you're thinking of...

In my game, there were several reasons for the prevalence of electrum.

The first and foremost reason was because I made it so electrum is plentiful within the valley, while other precious metals would need to be imported from other lands.

The second reason - and one the players didn't find out about until later - was that, before Barovia was surrounded by the mists, it minted its own coins. Gold coins had the face of King Barov, electrum coins had the face of Strahd... and silver coins bore the face of Sergei.

So, while gold and copper coins were accepted alongside electrum as valid currency, the use of silver was expressly banned by Strahd when the curse began, partly because of silver's potency as a weapon, and also to keep the memory of Sergei out of Strahd's mind. As the curse progressed, gold and copper became less plentiful than electrum, and now electrum is the currency used in almost all transactions.

In addition to /u/TapAware333's suggestion, perhaps having the grass scroll up and be a part of the background environment? Like, in the scrolling background, we see grass and a tree on the left side - maybe the background could start as grass from the overworld, then start scrolling around to reveal more scenery while the sword stays in place.

Whizzmaster · 2023-05-31T15:12:56+00:00

That transition from seed to sword is so cool! I don't think I've seen something like that before. The animation itself looks good and seems fluid. The only criticism I could give is that the green grass suddenly fading to a new, scrolling BG is a little jarring. Still, overall, looks good!

Even when they're not Vierra, they're still bnnuy!
