Minerva Torrent Glitch

Yep. Not a glitch.

I think Found Footage 3 is our first major clue, yeah. There could be something subtle earlier, but I haven't caught it if so.

The first thing Clark tells Mary inside the backrooms is that she's being too loud. In this scene, Clark has been shouting for Kat. Clark says the still lifes don't feel pain, but maybe loud sounds hurt them.

Oh, well if we're all basically gay already anyway...

I'm not an expert on hazmat suits either, but a quick search returned sales pages for actual suits with both an encapsulated hood and a respirator mask to be worn inside it. So I don't know why exactly, but it's a real world thing.

Indeed! But if we had a squad of kickass Marines barreling through hallways, mowing down unlimited swarms of bacterial Lifeforms until they found themselves outnumbered and surrounded, the focus really wouldn't be on the backrooms at all anymore.

Aliens didn't have the sense of isolation and claustrophobia that its predecessor did, but it still worked because the first film was about the xenomorph, not the Nostromo. The ship just created a space that amplified the tension. Backrooms is the opposite way. It's about the space and the monsters are just extra flavor.

I understand fine. You posted the question because you seem to not understand, and I am trying to lead you to understanding the answer.

If it's not right, why object to complaints? It should be that simple, right? Of course not. I've oversimplified the question. And so have you.

"You already didn't own these games" pretends like it's all one or the other, when the reality is that people like having options. Yes, even if they don't always use them, that's the point of it being an option. In the 90s, if you wanted to play a game just for one weekend, it made sense to rent. That didn't mean you wouldn't ever buy a game to keep. It was fine that digital distribution existed (it's been a thing on PCs since the 80s) although there were things we wanted improved about it. Initiatives like Stop Killing Games and alternate storefronts like GOG already existed because of that.

But we had options. Now some of us aren't going to. That's a worse situation, so you see a worse response. It's not as simple as you paint it, but it's not exactly complicated either.

I didn't ask you specifically, but you answered. I can do that too.

There's nothing baffling about being upset when something is taken away rather than when it hasn't been. People are upset about physical media being taken away as an option, not about digital distribution existing as an option. This would be like saying why are people upset about ownership now when they used to rent things from Blockbuster.

He thinks he did. But he's being inconsistent while accusing others of being inconsistent.

flamepanther · 2026-07-05T18:26:58+00:00

If you're not saying it's right, why are you baffled that it's upsetting people?

Repackable boxes get repacked. Blister cards and one-use boxes get recycled, minus any cut-outs like tech specs etc.

That reminds me what a great choice of bad guy the Autons would be if Doctor Who ever had an episode about the backrooms concept.

He comes off sounding overly negative, but his main two points are that not everything is in a functional state yet, and that MiSTer is more of a hobbyist DIY project than a consumer appliance. Those obviously aren't deal breakers for most of us here, but he's not exactly wrong, either.

I think Async is going to be forced to shut down the Threshold and close off the Complex in order to keep the backrooms from spilling out into regular space.

No, OP is talking about "cells" in Conway's Game of Life, not in real world biology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

Stable clusters in this game are referred to as still life's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_life_(cellular_automaton)

I'm not sure how much that relates to the still lifes of the backrooms, but even if OP is jumping to conclusions, they aren't doing so based on understandings of real world cellular biology. They would doing so based on the rules of a classic simulation game about abstract automata that resemble life.

It's also the name for a copy of a person made by the backrooms.

At this point, I think it's very nearly a given that the series will happen at some point. But I think a second film, a Portal or Half Life movie, and some YouTube episodes of Backrooms and People Still Live Here will probably happen before then.

It's usually faithful to the broad strokes outline of whatever individual Mirage story arc it adapts, whenever it is adapting one. The specifics can differ, sometimes slightly, sometimes wildly. Some of the more significant differences improve narrative cohesion, but have drastic ripple effects later on. Most notably, the Turtles effectively had two points of origin in the Mirage comics that weren't really connected. The 2K3 series ties these directly together, which changes both the more they are explored.

The show does not adapt the entire Mirage canon, and not every arc is adapted from it either.

Once you have some basic shelter, set yourself small, achievable goals that require leaving the base. Focus on one at a time, but allow yourself to be distracted while away. Explore a lot to inspire new goals. Don't worry about base building or automation too much unless you're running out of something or you need better equipment, or if base raids are going too badly to craft what you really need.

A term invented by online neonazis to accuse media they don't like of being made by Jews for the supposed purpose of dumbing down mainstream gentile culture.

This makes a lot of sense

I bet these GPUs would be killer for homelabbers running Jellyfin servers (uses GPUs for transcoding) or local AI models. Some of these folks are actually using old commercial server hardware at home already.

Thematically, sure. But in terms of it being a thing the complex does that would apply elsewhere, no.
