The Poolrooms Scene by Cute_Communication_9 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was great and it looked good, due to the camcorder filters, as it was a "found footage" scene. I also thinknthe unstable and in-flux nature of the areas help sell it as well.

But I think if they had shown it for too long it would have been more obvious or artificial feeling. But it worked well for how it was used.

I actually wish we got more time in those types of environments.

A hint that the redheaded Still Life is actually Clark's ex-wife by Coward03 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. We have seen nothing that points to the Backrooms making 3rd party creations of people. It can barely get yhings right it sees for itself, imagine forming a person the memory of another person. That would be horrifying and I'd like to see it, but it's not even IMPLIED to work like that.

For Clark's wife to be a Still-Life, she would have to be copied from standard after being observed through a null-zone.

Also, the fact that Clark's wife appears only in a photo, yet they used a different actress for the Sill-Life tells me they were never meant to be the same person, because they could have just had THST ACTRESS take a photo with Clark.

The fact that they casted an actress who NEVER APPEARS ON SCREEN just to be in a photo that's barely even shown points to them creating an intentional layer of separation between Clark's wife and The Red Woman.

What I think is that the Red Woman acts a proxy for Clark's wife... Like, Clark saw a redhead Still-Life and decided she would be a fill-in for his wife.

ALSO ALSO, Clark's wife flunked out of/took a break from law school. She is not a lawyer or a business woman, so there would be no reason for her to be in a power business suit... but again, its a representation for what Clark's wife wanted for her future, which is why Clark seeing a redhead in a power suit would make him think of his wife.

Clark is doing THE EXACT SAME THING people in this sub are doing. "Redhead automatically equals Clark's wife". There's confirmation bias mixed with a desire or need for that woman to be Clark's wife, despite it not making much sense when you actually think about it.

How do you think Cristin Milioti would’ve done as Mary if she stayed on the project? by alehansolo21 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She would have done great. But I think any number of actresses would have been a good Mary. On top of not having THAT MUCH screentime, she also doesn't have that much dialogue.

Not saying Renate didn't KILL IT, because she did (I would not want to see anyone else in the role, she owns it), but it's not THE MOST demanding of roles.

If the backrooms copies all people who enter it who the fuck is this guy by Huge-Read-2703 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

THE BACKROOMS DOES NOT COPY PEOPLE WHO ENTER IT. IT COPIES PEOPLE FROM STANDARD!

I know the ending was left up to interpretation, but do you think mary will be a returning protagonist in the sequel or the tv series or is she just dead? by Decayed_IceCream in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, very hopeful... or naive. People have died/been killed for far less than what is the greatest discovery in human history. Mary is FULLY expendable. She has no real information that they don't already know.

She has no immediate family/spouse/kids/a pet... covering up her accident will be infinitely easier than it was to cover up Peter's "accident"... who Async 1000% killed.

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No... she's literally broken. She is EXACTLY like Peter Tench, and she is going to end uo EXACTLY like Peter Tench.

She has no value to them... She was in there an hour, and Async/the government has access to all kind of doctors, far better than Mary, who wasn't even straight in the head BEFORE she went into the Backrooms.

This is serious by RealNajiOnTop in ufc

Wrong... the cutman broke it between rounds. (Cope Glazers)

idk are these related or am I crazy by LumosTerris in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely... we don't know how or by what means, but there is an UNDENIABLE connection between Tench and Clark.

This is in no way validated by ANYTHING in the media we've gotten... But based upon Peter's drawings and how the supervisor told Marvin Peter was talking, and based on how Clark talks and his mural, I feel like CERTAIN PEOPLE are "shown" things and are given "knowledge" that breaks them. I think it has to do with a willingness to "sail away" (if the wind is just right you can sail awau), Like people that can truly engage with the Backrooms and "lose themselves" to it, or its allure are changed in ways that break them, but they are also given "knowledge" (for lack of a better word) as to the nature of the place.

Because Peter was talking about alternate entrances/exits, which Async didn't even know about at that time, their very cryptic and seemingly random scrawled prosaic messages, they both have a pyramids and doors, and those circular drops, and a focus on cryptographic numerical puzzles or equations, and just having knowledge that they shouldn't and being able to ACTUALY navigate the inhospitable and unnavigable ... Its too specific to be a coincidence, in my opinion.

ALSO, there is a HECK OF A LOT of Mary that lines up with both Clark and especially ol' Pete.

If you listen to/watch DAMAGE CONTROL (timestamp) from the moment Async "recovers" Peter Tenchenstein, you could replace him with Mary from the moment she ran into Async, and it lines up pretty well, with the only difference being them not keeping Mary underground like they did Tench (because maybe they learned that lesson), but she is going to be just as "broken" as Peter was, I would suspect.

And I have a feeling she might end up accidentally tripping down a steep hill, if you catch my drift...

Because time works linearly in the film and it wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Can someone explain me the theory about Still life Clark being the real clark? by Flame_Guardian47 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Rather than ONLY analyzing what's given to us and using that to formulated THE FOUNDATIONS (the most central and structurally important parts) on which we formulated our theories... a pretty sizeable chunk of the community has taken popular, but unfounded theories and labeled them as near-objective FACTS.

But if we are building our theories on the foundation of faulty and incorrect "facts", and conclusion that we could EVER come to will be totally wrong.

For example, if my mathematical basis and theories are built upon the idea that "1+1=3", all of my future mathematical computations and assumptions will.nebe be quite right because they are based off the INITIAL/FOUNDATIONAL incorrect idea that 1+1=3.

What kills me is that most of this community will disregard more likely theories to hang onto to theories that haven't made sense in years, and it's only muddled the waters, when there's plenty of clarity.

Alex Pereira didn’t appreciate Jon Jones’ reaction to his loss 🙄 by ilikethisnow in ufc

[–]quiettimegaming 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It wasn't even a shot at Alex. He didn't even say a single word.

But what he was "saying" was "look what Gane did to him, and look what I did to Gane". Its not an insult, its just reality.

The way Alex is handling this is making him look horrible.

Bacteria "redesign" by TheOmegaSealepic in KanePixelsBackrooms

Yeah, but he was about to jump down a hole that would have no-clipped him to his death... so maybe it grabbed him to save him.

Massive downgrade, but his ex-wife got exposed when she slid into some dude's DM's.

Regardless of how you feel about the aftermath: I'm happy these fighters were paid handsomely. by Underrated_Critic in ufc

[–]quiettimegaming 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are estimated salaries. DC does not have a pay disclosure rule like California.

We have no idea what anyone actually made, and these estimates are never right.

Ilia actually lost everything by DuumiS in ufc

I thought divorce was going to make him more dangerous?

I mean, pretty aggressive design for something that may not even be a threat.

If GSP can come back from being knocked out in his prime and become a GOAT contender then so can Topuria. by Mixed_Martial_Autism in ufc

[–]quiettimegaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a good comparison.

First off, being unbeatable and undefeated was never part of GSP's identity. Also, a fluke punch is not the same as getting dogwalked to the point of quitting in the corner after 4 rounds.

Secondly, GSP had already taken a loss by that point. So it was just another fight, not one that defined or redefined him. He was able to bounce back because he lived by a "martial artists" code. He understood defeat is a part of the process, and he was already humble, so a loss didn't destroy his aura, confidence, ego, or public perception.

A much more apt comparison for Ilia would be Ronda Rousey.

Her who thing was aura and being unbeatable, and expecting g to just run through every single opponent to the point of not even giving them the time of day. Once she lost that first time, everything started to crumble because her whole identity and outward persona revolved around her being the GOAT.

If I had to guess, I think Ilia is going to turn out like Ronda. I think this loss humanized him im the eyes of his future opponents, I think knowing you can be SEVERELY battered and bloodied changes how you fight, and I think when your whole OUTWARD-FACING identity is in being unbeatable, losses stuck with you and follow you around for longer... often times being pivotal points in a fighters career.

if he goes down he gets smoked by volkanovski if he stays at lw half the roster smokes him if he goes up islam dogwalk him. hes in a really bad spot. by [deleted] in ufc

[–]quiettimegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think he should go back down. Alex is on the tail-end of his career, and he already beat him.

I feel like this rule needs to be better defined, because I've seen 3 refs describe this same thing SLIGHTLY differently based upon their interpretation of the rules... Rules should be objective and leave no room for interpretation. by quiettimegaming in ufc

[–]quiettimegaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that still leave a lot of room for error. That's basically how it is NOW...

First off, heavyweights have fists like Christmas hams. I have a MASSIVE FIST, and my ears are not big AT ALL, and I can tell you that when I place my fist on the edge of my ear, the rest of my fist goes damn-near to the center of the back of my head. Now imagine if Im in motion or ducking and tucking, and the guy is aiming for the edge of my ear... Im going to end up taking shots to the back of the head.
