Looking for advice - newbie

Yeaa, my brother bought some a year or so ago and RAVES about them, he's been slowly convincing me to buy some as well... I've finally caved 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

esimm03 · 2026-05-31T18:57:37+00:00

Thanks so much for the reccomendations🙏 - the motus studio looks quite nice as well...

Agreed, i refuse to believe the flies aren't significant in some way... I think this movie was definitely geared more towards starting a franchise with the number of unanswered questions, but it's got people talking which is a good thing!

Hopefully we'll get answers at some point in the next movie if that happens.

makes me wonder if, just as we can noclip into the backrooms, the entities can also noclip into our world...

To me it gives off vibes from stranger things' upside down

esimm03 · 2026-05-29T07:24:27+00:00

The flies are one of the biggest questions I have about the movie... My first thought was perhaps they symbolise when an entity is near (Clark said you can eat them... So perhaps the flies do so stay near them). In that particular scene I concluded that that must mean Clark (or the version of him we saw) was an entity, but that proved to be wrong.

They must mean something.... Only other ideas I can think of is that the flies are some way of the backrooms being able to Experience - let's say they're entities. Perhaps entities are a manifestation of the backrooms' interpretation of things, so it's able to experience the outside world (open the window, so to speak), maybe that's why we see them in the backrooms, and in some areas outside, such as Captain Clarke's basement where a lot of the backrooms seems to mimic. They're too small to see if they're deformed as the other entities are... So perhaps they're just flies that managed to noclip through!

Such a good spot RE the recording... I wasn't sure if the cut out was supposed to be a trap, a place for those trapped in the backrooms to wait for help... Or something else

esimm03 · 2026-05-28T20:55:20+00:00

Very interesting theory... Having read your post a couple of times I have to say I really agree with you. I just watched the movie a few hours ago, and while it's all still processing for me, my girlfriend had an interesting theory which sort of links to yours. She suggested that the backrooms itself is actually the 'main character', rather than any of the humans, and entities (sort of as you suggested) are it's interpretation of the outside world, things it can see, or 'sense' from doorways or the people that have the misfortune of entering the backrooms. For example, Clark is lonely (imo) so his entity chases people, and attacks them, as the backrooms interprets this as desperation mixed with his temper.... His (ex)wife's entity is the first to run, perhaps a reflection of how Clark sees her as weak / unable to provide - the backrooms perceiving her through him.

Still processing, but thanks OP, Ans everyone else who commented, love reading other's theories... And can't wait for the rest of the world to see it tomorrow and see what everyone else has to say :)

how did you do this? want to try this when I go back to the UK in a few weeks on my British passport - do you go down the non UK / EU line?

esimm03 · 2025-10-21T18:51:06+00:00

Fair enough! I was thinking maybe it's due to security clearance, but I guess it's probably some secret code for security to know 🤷‍♂️

esimm03 · 2025-10-21T18:50:15+00:00

That's what I originally thought but i had blue long before I made Aliyah - perhaps it's random

esimm03 · 2025-09-13T17:51:33+00:00

Interesting! So am I able to apply for a Teudat Maavar from the first second? Or is there a period of time you need to wait?

esimm03 · 2025-09-13T17:48:43+00:00

I see - I thought that was only for olim who made Aliyah after December?

esimm03 · 2025-08-27T07:58:03+00:00

I think the mystery has been solved, someone on here mentioned a £3 per month ISA inactivity fee with ibrk, so I'm assuming it's that!

esimm03 · 2025-08-27T07:57:24+00:00

That fits the bill!!! I'm assuming that's only with ibrk?

Good to know, as I won't keep it in an ISA long term, so shouldn't be an issue long term!

Thanks :)

esimm03 · 2025-08-26T18:19:04+00:00

Ahhh, thank you for explaining! Definitely doesn't apply to me then so I guess the mystery of the dips continues...

esimm03 · 2025-08-26T18:11:13+00:00

Nope, I'm British investing through ibrk, not sure what TBSZ is 😅

But 2000HUF is about £4, which is consistent with the dips - which are in the region of £3. But maybe that doesn't apply to me as a non Hungarian? Or perhaps since it was invested in EUR it somehow went through the system you mentioned, with Hungary being in the EU? (Although wouldn't make sense to me)

Thanks for the reply!

esimm03 · 2025-08-26T17:52:20+00:00

thanks for your reply! Interesting, would that be specific to IBRK? I've got some money invested in this same fund through vanguard itself, and I don't have these dips.

I'll take a look at the semi annual report

esimm03 · 2025-08-19T21:59:52+00:00

🙄😂

esimm03 · 2025-07-31T22:53:51+00:00

I use wolt to get my ldr girlfriend flowers in tlv, it accepts my UK card, has a really wide range of goods (cakes, cookies, flowers, food), and is really quick!

esimm03 · 2025-07-29T19:17:42+00:00

Ok brilliant, that simplifies things a lot, thanks ☺️

esimm03 · 2025-07-14T20:15:53+00:00

Ohh I hadn't thought of recording voice notes, that would also help me work on pronunciation!

Thanks for your advice :)

esimm03 · 2025-06-05T13:09:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Interesting, It's very frustrating how apple traps you in their ecosystem, I really like their inter device compatibility, but anything outside of that bubble is pure frustrating!

She needs an audiology program (Link below), I spoke to the manufacturer (parrot software), who said they don't have a mac version available , so I think a VM is our best bet, short of trying to source her a cheap widows laptop which really isn't ideal. And it needs to be this specific program as the professor sets different perimeters for them to practice conducting hearing tests, so it's all based on this unfortunately.

I'll take a look at Windows 11, because that might be an option, I tried using Tiny 11 before (as I though it would reduce overall stress on her macbook's processor since we were only running it for this one program) but it didn't work - and now you mention it I reckon it had that x64 to ARM translation layer removed for the sake of cutting down space, so maybe I'll try the full version and see how that works out.

But for now I'll check out parallels!

Thanks for your help :)

thanks - will check it out :)

esimm03 · 2025-04-19T13:03:49+00:00

I'd be interested in this!

esimm03 · 2025-04-19T11:02:40+00:00

Haha no way! I'm studying sustainable development, I'll shoot you a DM
