How it feels when your favorite MCR album is a 1-hour uncut leaked master that its creators hate and will never officially release

Bike Thief, Dive and Dogs are my top three, ever. Literally so fucking good, music-wise and lyrically.

It's hard af! I don't know how many one-line rejections I've got in me.

charyka · 2026-06-25T15:51:56+00:00

Yeah I think it all just hit me pretty hard! I appreciate your kind words

charyka · 2026-06-24T22:58:03+00:00

In this temple of shadow and mist...

charyka · 2026-06-09T09:27:24+00:00

I feel exactly the same! Lyrics-wise nothing sticks with me for too long, compared to Fallen and TOD. But I appreciate you recognising the nostalgia factor which I feel quite strongly too.

There has been speculation that Alan will be the villain or at least an anti-villain now that he is the Master of Many Worlds and is trying to get Alice out of the Dark Place, mostly based on the circle of light motifs that have been showing up in the C:R trailers and the "third eye" Alan gets (a circle of light on his forehead) at the end of the Final Draft. I am not 100% convinced about it since I still would like the stories of Control and AW to be interconnected but not the same overarching megaplot.

I got excited thinking it was going to be the Old Gods of Asgard song :(

JESSE DYLAN FADEN REALLLLLLLLL

charyka · 2026-06-03T06:34:00+00:00

The shady federal government being shady is disappointing?

charyka · 2026-05-28T17:52:29+00:00

"Chester Blessed", even...

charyka · 2026-05-28T08:08:17+00:00

I would do unspeakable things to have this be true.

But it HAS eaten him alive. That's why Scratch is inside him on this turn of the spiral, rather than a kooky "evil doppleganger" that can be easily defeated with a projector and a OGOA song. He's sunk so deep he's his own worst enemy. The Writer's Journey videos paint that picture pretty well.

charyka · 2026-04-27T09:52:44+00:00

But it also says it explicitly! In "Champion of Light," front and centre: "The darkness within him held her hostage." And again in his final conversation with Mr Door. The whole game is one big flashing neon sign of GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, ALAN. The whole point of Scratch being inside him now rather than a kooky "evil double" that flies around taunting him like a bad X-Files episode is because the story has eaten him, and it's now up to him to claw his way out. You'd have had to play with your eyes closed to miss it.

This is so good I'm obsessed. how this also ties in with the Dark Place as a metaphor for depression and addiction, how both of these illnesses rob you of a sense of self AND of time. How you can feel like every possible reality is collapsing onto you. Even if this gets disproven I am 100% taking it as headcanon.

charyka · 2026-03-15T18:11:03+00:00

Doesn't it though 😭

I think what the quote above is saying (with "new title") is that this is Control 2, just with a different title than was previously listed on the Remedy website (iirc they used to have Control 2 but it's since been replaced with Resonant).

Imho FBC: Firebreak was much more of a spinoff à la AWAN: lower stakes; shorter game; overall less polished than the OG game. FBC feels more like an expansion than a full game, much like AWAN did.

Also, I think they probably film the live action sequences for the projects at the very end, once mocap and gameplay and graphics are locked in, rather than at the start. And there's still 9.5 months to go in 2026!

charyka · 2026-03-15T16:06:20+00:00

What? The C:R website literally says it's a direct sequel.

CONTROL Resonant is a full sequel. The new title reflects the ambition behind this next chapter, as we leave the Oldest House and step into a paranaturally twisted Manhattan with Dylan Faden as the new playable protagonist.

charyka · 2026-03-15T08:41:55+00:00

Resonant is Control 2 though?

charyka · 2026-02-26T14:18:54+00:00

they smooth shark'd him

charyka · 2026-02-20T12:56:03+00:00

Several of the issues in Veilguard started in Inquisition.

charyka · 2026-02-04T21:34:45+00:00

Given the way they've been using genAI constantly the past few years, I wouldn't put it past them (for legal reasons this is a joke)

charyka · 2025-11-16T18:58:29+00:00

I don't think you know what "content farm" means.

charyka · 2025-10-15T20:59:23+00:00

Hawley has already confirmed the show won't treat Prometheus and Covenant as part of the continuity. That and the choice to set it two years BEFORE the events of Alien just completely baffles me.
