This channel originally uploaded back on may 8th 2022 and stopped. Now it looks like the channel is back up with a Nov 16 2022 upload. These videos and descriptions are weird, so feel free to check them out. And remember: embrace a concept fully and dissolve the self within.

swagged

so, chaps, any idea on what may be going on?

[cold seal]

Is the pfp lava

[still gorge]

Ok so what I am thinking is that the old sun, which was replaced in a gooden shell, was replaced by a new sun, which brings "smiling things". This guy is all alone and decides to jump to get back to the old sun

[fallow forge]

nah

[fallow forge]

we did see the new sun

it looked uh

less like a sun

the smiling things can be assumed to be the head things

iirc we've seen two in the new vid

[still gorge]

I only saw 1

[fallow forge]

you can see something move on the distant island

soon after it

[still gorge]

Ah

Wait I already forgot the first vid

It's on those floating islands yeah?

[fallow forge]

nah

they're different islands

on the second við, we see two

the first one features different creatures and no "new sun*

[still gorge]

Ah

[fallow forge]

note how the weird audio stops when looking at the gold block

[still gorge]

I may have been watching on mute lmao

Ok yeah there's creepy audio

[livid pagoda]

weird

[still gorge]

When this came out in may, this was considered a top notch webseries despite it being one video

Now obv it has gone down, but maybe it'll pick up again

[livid pagoda]

seems like there's not much to it right now

am I missing something obvious or are there only two short videos

[still gorge]

I think it's only the two

[fallow forge]

currently only two yeah

the channel resurfaced after a long wait

but we can assume more will be made later

[still gorge]

6 months later

Actual alex crish uploading schedule

[faint trail]

can you please hold my flame

[cold seal]

Is this arg related to raised my sword

[fallow forge]

to what

[fallow forge]

https://youtu.be/D9ErYIVFO_w

dropping here too

[delicate sage]

ok this cannot be a coincidence

link gets posted
2 videos appear out of nowhere

maybe it was like a backlog of videos they were waiting to release and saw some activity on the new video or somth

??

they gained quite a few subs so i imagine it mightve been based on that

[marble marlin]

it might have just been abandoned for a while until the creator was like "oh hey i could continue this" after noticing someone posted the link

[delicate sage]

yeah

[marble marlin]

although

how did they make all of those textures in the span of a day after noticing

seems like a lot of work

[delicate sage]

as i said

backlog maybe

[marble marlin]

perhaps

[delicate sage]

like they had already made some stuff for this

but gave up

🤷

[marble marlin]

when holdtheflame got posted in mwd all those months back, it got really good reception despite the single video
im surprised they dropped it after that

and now they’re continuing

[coarse sable]

well that's not unsettling at all

god i love the energy of this series

[delicate sage]

agreed, the guy making this really nails the vibes!

[rustic depot]

whats so funny, laughing room?

boys are back in town

[rustic depot]

oooooh kinda silent hilley

[coarse sable]

...

Could this be a silent hill thing?

[still gorge]

yeah this is run by hideo kojima

[true cove]

inb4 the runner is actually running like 3 other stories, and couldn't do anything with it at the time

also i have arrived to this channel to spread the idea of this being about trans people, which is most certainly not the goal or idea, but i must spread it 😎

nothing but compliments to the chef once again

whatever atmosphere they're crafting it is unsettling and I live for it

also there's a possible string of text in the thumbnail

[clever quiver]

Second Circle? Maybe the title is a reference to Dante's Inferno?

[past hound]

I love @external_nerves_connectivity

https://youtu.be/y5gizrTCq0M

Can someone grab the tags from this vid

[coarse sable]

how would one do that?

[still gorge]

"An endless field to shield all those who come", "CY-0", "Likely safe", and "Sanctuary" are the tags

I used https://mattw.io/youtube-metadata/bulk

Is this section now the SA thread?

holdtheflame(Slots Available)

[fallow forge]

probably í guess

[still gorge]

Slots Available(holdtheflame)

[fallow forge]

int resting

[outer onyx]

inch resting....

correlation doesnt necessarily make it true but, so far CY-0 has appeared in both (public) SA videos. not entirely clear what it means but it could be a name for the "slot" this player is in or something?
i doubt it's the player's name due to it not appearing in any HTF vids nor the unlisted one.

also, the description of "'The Cycle is separated into four parts for those who are within it. The Fifth Iteration is solely accessible to one person, whose name is not important in our dealings, Friend.'", and mainly the "Friend" part, reminds me of 24 reverberations talking to the watching thing. could be unrelated though.

its not clear who's writing the descriptions yet, it has the similar "getting cut off in the middle of their descriptions" style of the hive, but afaik they're not really back. there was the buzzing in the HTF video but last anyone really heard they were "no longer divine" so i don't think they'd be able to do much yet, who knows its all speculation for now at least.

[lucid wing]

initially, i thought this "mayfly pantheon" might be connected to the Hive since HTF acted as a sort of prequel to Slots. However, mayflies are aquatic insects, so there's probably a relationship between this pantheon and the Rain.

also, when the unlisted video was uploaded, the main channels @ was now named to "theologicorpse", which i think is referring to the Remains of the Divine Will from the email q&a.

[still gorge]

The big question I have: What is CY-0

[fallow forge]

I guess we'll see

maybe some desc makes it clear but I'm not feeling like rereading act 2 slots descs

(as short as they are)

[lucid wing]

For sure, I doubt they have to do with the "human C" from the watching thing origins.

[outer onyx]

at the moment, my only thought is its related to the whoever the player is. otherwise no real idea.

[still gorge]

You need to be 21+

[outer onyx]

this is just like george orwell's novel, 1984.

[still gorge]

we live in a society where everyone is gone and the rains pour, and yet I can't gamble 😡

https://discord.com/channels/773771861812183080/1054949293020160050 former thread. I'll get that other thread closed

https://youtu.be/pYLfpeNFYdA
https://youtu.be/tuaSJfN1UEM

The two channels that did that. Personally I liked the Ducklex video

[outer onyx]

i think ducklex's is somewhat better but both are good, I did a ton of analysis myself in his discord (and a little here I think)

it's a really esoteric series

[still gorge]

(sorry IC)

I heard ducklex will make a sequel but with holdtheflame in mind

[livid pagoda]

slots

[outer onyx]

the slots when they are available 😈

[livid pagoda]

I was under the impression that slots were unavailable

has there been a recent change in the availability of slots?

[still gorge]

I think there's only 1 slot available

[outer onyx]

one slot closed but another opened

[still gorge]

Will you take that slot?

[livid pagoda]

of course I will, I've been on the slots waitlist for a year

[still gorge]

You need to enter the slots available raffle

[livid pagoda]

would there perhaps be a way to, uh, "tweak" this raffle so that the slot becomes available to a certain ticket?

[still gorge]

Hmm

Perhaps

I think there are ways to increase your chances. Let me list them:

[gilded tinsel]

There's always the ever reliable bribery

[livid pagoda]

bribery, such a crass word

[still gorge]

1. You have played OFF and/or Rainworld
2. You have dissolved yourself within
3. You type at 60 words per minute
4. You have good relations with the Queen.
5. You have looked at the slots available document.
6. You have watched all videos

[livid pagoda]

I prefer the term "financial motivation"

[still gorge]

I don't think they accept USD

[outer onyx]

bonus points for watching hold the flame!

[gilded tinsel]

The Queen died in 2022

[still gorge]

No you have to hold a flame for maybe 5 seconds

Bonus points if it's a metal fire

[gilded tinsel]

If you are found unworthy you get sentenced to the laughroom (hyperbolic time chamber)

[still gorge]

Would you rather be sent to the holdtheflame dimension or one random #1026498054083321866 thread?

[livid pagoda]

far too risky to go to a random #1026498054083321866, but still safer than a random #1019925609960439819 thread

[still gorge]

Either way, I think holdtheflame dimension is safer

I may be in a literal hell, but at least I can make it out. #1026498054083321866 and /or #1019925609960439819 would just be a slow death

Well actually if I choose #1026498054083321866 and end up here in this, then that'll be the best case scenario. Truly a dilemma

Anyway back to your regular slots available coverage. Did the creator reveal themselves? I forgot if they did

[livid pagoda]

I believe I know who made it

[still gorge]

Definitely was ThunderCube

[outer onyx]

the creator would never reveal themselves

[outer onyx]

i have a hunch or two

[livid pagoda]

I’m pretty sure I know but I might be getting it confused with a different arg

[outer onyx]

i wish i could find the mega-lore doc i saw a while back as a refresher

[still gorge]

one second

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R80E7XAfJOyAnpw_T1AYe1QX9PhwxN7SwNmKMM3MWgE/edit#heading=h.mio4qq2tni2n

[outer onyx]

cash money

many thanks

[still gorge]

gonna ask to get this pinned

[outer onyx]

yep thats about as esoteric and confusing as i remember

still quite intriguing though and makes me want to do something equally odd

but regardless in my professional(?) opinion that story summary is about as accurate as can reasonably be (which, having talked with princevontwix, doesn't surprise me).

[fallow forge]

hehehe

need to reread that doc again blimes

[still gorge]

is there any more discoveries ??

hello?

[outer onyx]

nope

and he shouted us out (hi if you're watching)

[still gorge]

Nice! I need to watch this

Also, the pins here are lacking. What should be pinned here outside of the channel and playlist and the doc?

[outer onyx]

not sure honestly, i don't think there's too much of note outside of that stuff afaik but y'know havent really been thinking about it recently outside of this video so memory could be failing me
