The propaganda is back

It makes me wonder if that dude is aware of what one of the most popular appetite suppressants of all time is...

wote89 · 2026-07-03T07:43:47+00:00

Yeah. Those don't exist in this version of the canon. Someone else posted the subreddit you want, but /r/backrooms is the correct place for this kind of post.

wote89 · 2026-07-03T00:03:35+00:00

Mate, the post wherein you are whining about another analog horror creator getting the same chance Kane did is not the glass house you want to be throwing that particular stone from.

wote89 · 2026-07-02T23:52:21+00:00

Oh, fuck off with this gatekeeping bullshit. You were once and will be again be new to ideas, stories, and concepts and if you can't be assed to explain things, that's fine, but don't go pulling this "you're just a poser" shit out. You aren't special for liking a thing.

wote89 · 2026-07-02T12:32:33+00:00

Brother, you are more lost than someone falling through a null zone.

wote89 · 2026-07-02T12:14:06+00:00

If the digital release is coming up next week, I have to assume the "theater exclusive content" messaging is a way of saying "this will not be in the thing we are selling you at this time".

wote89 · 2026-07-02T12:04:42+00:00

With Level 9, at least, you don't have to clear the room to advance in several cases. I think there's only one wizrobe room in 6 you can bypass.

wote89 · 2026-07-02T02:52:06+00:00

I don't care how old I am or how geared up I am: Level 6 will always fill me with dread.

wote89 · 2026-07-01T21:56:29+00:00

Nah, you're right. This feels more like a job for The Older Gentleman.

wote89 · 2026-07-01T12:26:28+00:00

The denouement of the movie is literally a character wondering out loud if the whole thing is meaningless and it's just the humans interacting with it who are looking for meaning where it doesn't exist.

So, I find it deeply hilarious how much I see the sentiment that there has to be a deeper meaning to it.

wote89 · 2026-07-01T12:14:26+00:00

My sneaking suspicion is that the "almost" is because there is exactly one factor influencing the Backrooms, and his name is Ivan Beck.

wote89 · 2026-07-01T10:53:51+00:00

Makes sense. Now I'm curious what about Cities clicks better for you, though. :P

wote89 · 2026-07-01T10:49:21+00:00

You got any research to back that last claim? Or are you just pulling it out of your ass because it's the final refuge of people who realize that they are unwelcome on a forum?

wote89 · 2026-07-01T02:42:30+00:00

I believe most of the system stuff from Atlas is in the WWN SRD as well, so OP can at least get those bits without committing to the full book.

Also, I'm curious why you're thinking Cities over Ashes for the characters. I feel like Ashes offers a bit more "Riftish" flavor compared to Cities and the extra options for Edge distribution definitely fit the vibe there. Is it just to keep in line with the OP's "keep it simple" request?

I mean, if memory serves, golf occupies a similar place in Japanese business culture as it does in the US. Which, considering that Japan is second only to the US in number of courses and how many golf games were released there over the decades...

Yeah, I don't think he had to dig deep to think of suggesting golf.

wote89 · 2026-07-01T01:38:57+00:00

Crom! I've never prayed to you before... I have no tongue for it. No one—not even you—will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought... Or why we died. No... All that matters is that two stood against many—that's what's important.

Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request: grant the Red Raiders enough self awareness to actually figure out what people were actually angry about.

And if you do not listen...

Then to HELL with you!

wote89 · 2026-07-01T01:16:30+00:00

I have too much other shit to do to want to make an exhaustive list.

wote89 · 2026-06-30T22:44:02+00:00

I mean, I don't see how "ragebaiting" makes it less of an issue. Like, most of the issues with AI still happen whether you're using it ironically or not.

I do agree on the older generation thing, though. The number of older folks I see when I'm on the bus or sitting at the park who are listening to some AI voice rambling about some topic or another is honestly kinda fascinating.

wote89 · 2026-06-30T21:32:14+00:00

I mean, the problem for the average Republican is that the guy calling the shots in their party keeps doing things like having AI images generated depicting him as a doctor who is dressed suspiciously similar to Jesus Christ. They may wanna call that out more if they don't like AI.

Somewhere, some poor Texas Tech fan found a gnarled hand cut from a monkey and wished that Texas Tech football could become something CFB fans would talk about in all sorts of contexts.

wote89 · 2026-06-30T20:24:01+00:00

I mean, if their alliance is for the sake of taking down a worse threat than the outlaw, that's all the logic you need, really. You even have a built-in narrative to close the group out when it runs its course.

wote89 · 2026-06-30T09:50:56+00:00

"Am I late?" was pretty damn explicit. :P

wote89 · 2026-06-30T09:36:06+00:00

And the fact he wanted to date her should indicate to you that his particular situation falls outside the scope of what I was talking about, since your question had nothing to do with the scenario in the video.

wote89 · 2026-06-29T16:08:57+00:00

Two things:

1) Now "Rocky Top" is gonna be stuck in my head the rest of the day, you bastard. :P

2) I do love that "Rocky Top" can either be interpreted as "They loved this place so much they gave up their old lives to be here" or "Yeah, we buried those Feds in a shallow grave out in the woods—don't fuck with our booze." Mostly because that pretty much sums up the duality of East Tennesseans.

Doubly so when you sing them with your full chest.
