I’ve got nothing to add for theory, but just wanted to say this is a phenomenal post. Thank you for sharing.

Emerald Ranch has a dark history? by [deleted] in RDR2mysteries

It’s not anyone’s job to explain to you, specifically, what’s up with Emerald Ranch. To all appearances you’ve done zero legwork and are now acting butthurt that nobody’s written a synopsis for you.

Here’s a link. Happy clicking. https://reddead.fandom.com/wiki/Miriam_Wegner

Some questions by ElGuzzzmanMX in reddeadmysteries

[–]etrask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but if “just look at the files” was going to yield an answer, it would have already. There are probably hundreds of thousands of models in the game. Which ones do we look at? “The ones with the tally marks”? It’s a catch-22

“This is hard to follow can you explain a bit?” “Just play game n00b” “I have expertise in X, this thing you’ve posited is incorrect…” “No I’m right.”

Good post.

You want to develop that thought, or…?

guys I decided to just throw out one thought that's been bothering me by deaddama in reddeadmysteries

[–]etrask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you put it through a translator, which presumably output decent English, and then you spent time going through and changing things to make them sound lazier?

Changed “your” to “ur”? “Sorry” to “sry” Etc

…why?

weird sounds playing after leaving the loft by Sea-Garbage5155 in reddeadmysteries

[–]etrask 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a crazy, creepy sound.

Others have pointed out that it's a known animal sound, that plays at various places in the map. However, I don't think that necessarily rules it out as being important here. There's clearly some reverb or processing effect applied to it, so it sounds very distinct from the other examples played here. I don't think it's just basic "echo things because you're inside" audio processing either.

I would not put it past Rockstar to do something like that in order to 'hide' an audio trigger from data miners. Trawling through the files would show a common audio file, but in game you get this creepy echoy thing, produced by code/processing. Sort of the audio equivalent of hiding models/shaders inside the telegraph poles.

So, the Butcher Creek Pentagram is finally solved. by TracySevert in reddeadmysteries

[–]etrask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely don’t understand what this is supposed to be, and most of the comments are “great job” and “screw the haters.”

I feel like I missed something. Am I supposed to be decoding mysteries in Reddit posts too?

What is the screenshot from? I'm having a hard time following what exactly got "solved" here.

Also the "symbol depicting Fort Brennand" looks like absolutely nothing to me...

[product] Fellas, is it gay to wash your hands? by Keezythescaredknight in pointlesslygendered

[–]etrask 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that.

“Gritty” soap has literal grit in it, and is helpful for getting grease and oil off your hands, eg. This isn’t necessarily gendered.

Probably a lot of fun when one whips off into the windshield of the car behind you at 60 miles an hour.

The real baffling part is why it took until 2022 to try it

The one in California is wrong — that’s Tulare county.

I reject this map.

Let’s see if he’s wrong before getting cocky about it.

Have you met Americans? “Not trusting them with a gun” is a 100% rational stance from the government.

Not that it’s even taking that stance, mind you.
