HELLO BLUECROWNED

[King-Clod]

Does anyone know much about ARGs? I'm trying to get into them but I'm also terrible at puzzle games and the like.

[skinstealer]

oh god i have so much to do today its the 1st of the month please expect five million threads
also the advent calendar is up go check that out and enter for a chance at new TCP types!!

also re: ARGS, personal favorite is petscop but that needs about five million content warnings

[entipikal]

Inside A Mind is a really good YouTube channel that covers all sorts of internet spooky things and sometimes ARGs. But a lot of topics are a bit disturbing for many, many reasons and I don't think videos have individual content warnings. So. Yeah tread carefully. Good channel though if you're cool with those things

Also the advent calendar sounds fun... I'll probably give it a go at some point

I really enjoy ARGs, but also they're so rarely executed well cause of the massive effort they require

I'm currently relistening to the magnus archives and having moments about the internal consistency

I'm also having a moment about actually talking in a forum general chat thread, the last time I talked on a forum lie this was probably 2013/14

[BlueCrowned]

Uhh I don't know if it counts as an ARG but Marblehornets is a rly good horror series that includes found footage, twitter posts and i think some other stuff and we had fun trying to put it all together and figure things out but major cws for like.. stalking, unreality, paranoia etc

[skinstealer]

i need to actually like, get back to marble hornets, i started watching it back when it was originally running back when i was in high school and never caught up to it properly

it's super good and so is tribetwelve but one of the people in tribetwelve turned out to be uhhhh Super Bad irl so idk if i'll finish it

[cosmo]

oh dang that sucks =( i didn’t know that (re: tribetwelve)

also i REALLY need to get around changing this username cause it’s old and i kind of hate it but iirc usernames have to be changed manually by staff so ive been putting it off lol

[skinstealer]

oh hmu whenever you need it changed i can do that

[King-Clod]

forums broke for me for a bit there not sure what that was about

Inside a Mind is why I was thinking about ARGs actually, I saw their video on Catastrophe Crow and checked that out (it's really interesting so far) and wondered if there were any other ARGs I was missing out on. I'm not really helping out per say, but it's fun to watch other people figure it out around me.

(Links to Catastrophe Crow if you're curious, heavy warns for suicide mention, child death implication, and disturbing imagery)

Original Vid
Links to the doc and other resources

[entipikal]

Oh, what a coincidence! The Catastrophe Crow video was really good (AND terrifying! I was successfully spooked a couple times) but I just don't have the patience to read a 70+ page google doc so I'm hoping he makes a follow up video someday but I guess it just depends where it goes

[King-Clod]

oh yeah the doc can be intimidating
Most of the bulk is from pictures, thankfully enough, but yeah it's a lot. I heard the people who made the doc are making a video version of it soon though to make it more accessible (and since a lot of people have been joining the discord without reading it, saying they found new clues that have already been found aknkb)

[King-Clod]

anywho sorry to basically kill the convo talking about that

Does anyone have any floaty/weird song recommendations? Or song recommendations in general? Trying to flesh out a character playlist but I realized I only listen to like. 5 bands.

[entipikal]

I don't listen to a huge variety of bands either but Glass Animals comes to mind for some floaty songs, maybe try Gooey and Toes? I haven't listened to either in a while though
As for general recommendations, Lemon Demon is always my top pick

[cosmo]

dream puzzles got linked in the discord a bit ago and i really like them =) they definitely fit the criteria of "weird/floaty" imo

[BlueCrowned]

Maybe alt j, san holo?

[King-Clod]

testing something

[Lilium Mortem]

What're you testing?
