#THE DECAYED
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
we love underestimating the powers of youtube bitrate
Yep
youre supposed to be able to see things more clearly in abgrund
I haven't finished it
youtube bitrate ruined it
Personally I think watching the series on lower quality would give it more of a personality
At least with my interpretation
Of its msaning
nobody noticed the quality difference in the footage
YouTube bitrate when it sees the hex code 000000:
Yep
Very cool
lol
like
the difference between episode 1
and 20
the gui scale is the same for everyone
same with quality
Though other than that I genuinely don't know any definitive lore
Also will you guys release the songs used?
eventually yeah
Do you mean u played thomas
Yeah
in lifeless only
Ooh
my typing style when I do character acting is very much, separate things
to make it seem rushed
so the script was completely disorganised
Some stuff was said before i could catch up
because ig they saw "oh he said 3 messages so now it's time for my line"
Yeah he did seem a fair bit less formal
Is there a lore reason why you played him in lifeless?
Or was the person who plays him otherwise not available
They didn't know about blockbuster
technical issues
Begins the scenes of stuff like this is so interesting to me
It's a mod that lets you record fake players
we had to use actual people as actors
Limbo is the empty void ain't it
I was already friends with them beforehand due to really goofy reasons and I liked the series and they needed people so
The area with the experiment numbers
Yeah I assume itd look rly goofy with no tpack
oh wait I just remembered something from the lifeless recording
have this nice pic of voyeur meanwhile
Oh yeah voyeur also has the logo on it
Does the logo mean anything in particular?
It kind of looks like that q Greek letter
HEROBRINE
my dark limbo
How do u change names btw
Plugin
you can see armour stands flash on serenemists head at some point
those are the fake names
Buying every account would actually be insane
Lmfsoo
incredible
@lethal spire
I'm genuinely curious
It does look like a iota kind of
i cant say anything about the symbol
Oh okay
it obviously reappears a lot tho
Yeah
Also before we actually did the lifeless recording, we were just messing around and uh
its on jacinthes face
You couldn't see her face very well
I just assumed it was a diadem of flowers
But that's good to know
Oh yeah I see it
how did I not realise that
Also this series has had like 3 pfp changes I think
at the start it was just the symbol on a black background
Omg I swear
I know that wont happen
But imagine if a next vid happens it's Andrew waking up from a coma
😭
it was all in le head
pyrocinical starts talking
LMFSOO
outro starts
ending any work of fiction with "it was all just a dream" is the story equivalent of character assassination
i really dislike that trope
Same
one of my least favorites
But if the series builds up to it from the beginning then I suppose it's fine
yep
It will never reach mmbah thread level
ok... but consider this
It got like 40k messages with no RGN coverage
decayed
it was a cult
Good works tend to strike conversations
true...
Mmbah?
so was it 1.12.2 ?
Memybrotherhim
yes
I should watch it lol
most sci-fi-esk MC webseries are
ah
TBoTV was 1.12.2 95% of the time
Specific reason for that version?
Yeah there's a lot of those
some people slap on a texture pack and call it a day
as if it's not really obvious
Yeah
at that point just play the actual thing bruh
lol
You like really need to play in beta
no jappa textures, mods, pre-flattening so everything is easy
and performance
Tbh I can't recall any changes past 1.9
Jappa is the root of all evil...
1.16 is my fav version
I rly just stopped paying attention to changelongs when Microsoft bought the game
but i want 1.8 combat back
Cuz ik they'd ruin it
i fw jappa textures but i dont like the usage of them in "args"
I'm sorry but 1.7>
1.9 combat is fine, but it's way too slow
and besides the diary was in 2017 and what version released in 2017
if they can strike a balance between the speed of 1.7 and the thinking of 1.9, you would have something good on your hands
Wats jappa mean
Artist
1.14+ textures
1.7 blocking in 1.12.2 (ignore it saying 1.9.4, I did have it in 1.12.2)
I mean it's hardly thinking though
It's way more in comparison
You kind of just jump hit with axe and run
spam clicking is objectively less
Combing in 1.7/8 takes a lot more thought
so does in 1.9
combat pre 1.9 is insanely braindead
1.9 has hardly any combos
1.9 introduces at least some strategy
Just ignore bowboosting wtapping rod dura swap lava flashes block blocks
dude I love they put models in resource packs in 1.8 but why did they have to go and break every 1.8 model in existince in 1.9, thye should of just started with the 1.9 model system, 1.8 models would still work to this day if that was the case but Nooo, they had to break them
It has a lot of strategy weirdly enough
It has a decent bunch and they do take more thought than pre 1.9 ones
not as much as 1.8 but still more thought
like being tossed in hypixel op duels
1.9s combat system works well for mob encounters but not as well for player Vs player
PvE sucks in 1.8 tho I'll agree
It's rly mid
Mob farms just don't work
1.9 introducing variety to combat is the best change
like axes having higher damage but lower speed
trident
mace now
crossbows too
Crossbows are just worse bows no?
Doesn't it pierce
the new snapshot gives me hope because my bug also got triaged, in the new snapshot they split the food component into two 'food' for food data and 'consumable' to make a item eatable, and with "consumable" component, you can provide a eating animation now, customize the eating sound & particle
one of the animations is block, so you can make a sword "block" now but it only works in thirdperson and no animation in first person so I made a bug report and how to fix it, and the bug got triaged meaning theyre gonna work on fixing it which will be amazing
we will finally be able to add back sword blocking via components visually & the server can do the rest
bows dont but crossbows do
Crossbows can also act as suprise attacks which can make stuff more interesting
bundles are coming soon
Bundles aren't for that purpose really
The point is that it's early game and you can store random things
Omg reslly
you can only store a stack of 64 I think it was
this is vanilla ^
of all items combined
64 of any item
Bye
this is possible in vanilla now in the new snapshots
but theres no firstperson animation, so I made a bug report: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-275917
it has since been triaged meaning they will work on fixing it :)
blocking would be the shield ability
its just imitating the shield usage
right now its through eating
/give @s iron_sword[consumable={animation:"block",consume_seconds:72000}]
Btw my username was jacinthe before I watched the series at all
I just rly like flowers
Ans french seemed cool idk
Anyway baii
bye
blocking worked a tad differently
they would make it more customizable than that when they do add a "block" component, but currently its through the consumable component
yea
there was no cooldown and it would just halve damage
it blocked half damage
that's about it
thats kinda strange
and axes didnt disable swords
also crits were automatic for a while
in b1.8
because of wrong code
so every hit was a crit
absolutely fire
the decayed...
this channel is decayed
That's also why you see people spam block and hit
ill continue in #media
because you could do both at the same time for some reason
which made combat even more brain-dead
pre 1.8 combat had no CPS cap (1.8 added a 10 cps cap) which made it even sweatier
and also made getting locked into combos way more devastating
as opposed to something like 1.9 where you can still get comboed, but you can get out of it somewhat easily as long as you think quickly
Interesting series
I didn't finish the video. Would anyone like to watch the RGN video with me in #979436594576654406
fun fact- jacinthe is seemingly named after the pillar of jachin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaz_and_Jachin or the 'pillar of severity/strength'
According to the Bible, Boaz (Hebrew: בֹּעַז Bōʿaz) and Jachin (יָכִין Yāḵīn) were two copper, brass or bronze pillars which stood on the porch of Solomon's Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem. They are used as symbols in Freemasonry and sometimes in religious architecture. They were probably not support structures but free-standing, based o...
anyway, some people are saying the series is over, is it known if les fleurs is the end of it?
not known
hope its not
afterall, we still have no idea how the videos are getting uploaded, as the architect brought up
or why sandY is 'EXEC UNKNOWN'
one thing thats odd to me is, if everyone in the concept were put in there to preserve them after getting sick, then why were there alternate versions of sandy and kargo in episode 3
sandy isnt an exec
so the command feedback just goes unknown
i assumed that meant they had gotten exec privileges though
idk
the commands require exec privileges but i would assume thomas granted him the permissions
a lot of stuff could be linked to thomas actually
seeing as the sickness only seems to get brought up by thomas, sandy, and kargo i wonder if thats only something that happened from their perspective, and the others are pulled from other realities. but the thing about thomas being hired seems to make this seem a bit dubious
maybe this is part of the experiments
like if theyre preserving their souls in the concept then they would try to figure out how to expand it
in turn making alternate versions of already existing vessels
perhaps but that seems to clash with the obsession with having them run exactly identical loops
i get the feeling that thomas's explanation of the concept is leaving a lot out. they probablly should have asked jacinthe to explain better before erasing reality
also wouldnt explain why some vessels seem so radically different, like serenemist, but still seem to have the same house/play out the same events
the house might actually be like a set
from my point of view the vessels were placed in a simulation with a predetermined set
kinda like exactly like truman show
if the architect built it, then things in the other quadrants managed by others might be different
we havent seen the other quadrants so it would be hard to know
architect being opposite the author at the table, who might have written the set of events?
but the sets being different is likely
guess we wont get to, as sandy has seemingly destroyed the concept
the thing is we dont know about anything outside arc's quadrant
like the only thing outside it is the abyss
id assume the other quads also connect to the abyss as 111 seems to be an exec from one of the caretakers on the blue side of the table
i mean 111 stated that the abyss is below the entirety of the concept
so its shared between the keepers
also the sickness story seems to conflict with exec 03 being seen by kargo before the sickness
not necessarily
there could have been plans from the start
what if the sickness was planned
possibly but it would conflict a lot with jacinthe's characterization. unless it was one of the caretakers that did it. would have to have some sort of reverse causal type stuff going on?
im also not sure- the vessels certainly seem to no longer have physical bodies, but it seems like this may be true of everyone else. i wonder if physical reality just stopped being in this reality
perhaps in that case the sickness was just a way of pulling people into the concept before that happened
I'm pretty sure the execs, keepers and jacinthe are real people
it's just the vessels that are no longer human
the execs keepers and jacinthe were real people like on a computer then that wouldnt line up with arc dying
if he wasnt in the game itself how would he die
Architect was streaming on twitch the entire time and had a program on that made it so that there was a 1/10,000 chance of /killing himself in-game when someone chatted
and it happened coincidentally
i feel like we would have heard some mention of something in the physical world if they did still exist physically. even when we are in execs perspectives they dont seem to be able to close the game
is this even minecraft to them, or is it just a framing device for presenting things to us?
They don't have a reason to close the game
If they're real people then they are definitely getting paid for doing this
so yknow, they want to not go homeless
so they do their jobs
disagree. if i was exec 09 and saw what i thought was an ai stare right into a camera thats meant to be invisible i would freak out
same thing with 05. why bother running from arc when he could just shut the game off and log back in when they were gone
You could see "Status: Thinking Mind"
like
makes me think
what if theyre working to stay inside the game
because the real world is like
The execs most likely know stuff about The Concept since 05 claims that they heard from the other execs about stuff like this
either really bad or nearly gone
I mean like at most a billion people probably died so
maybe
The execs are aware of the fact that there are layers and some are probably aware of the garden
They also know that there are statuses and they can see it before they click on it
they don't have much reason to freak out in that case
if the current pfp is jacinthe's symbol, and purple is her color, i guess the current pfp implies a focus on her in the future
the first pfp was also the same symbol
ah nevermind
the pfp has changed twice in the span of the series
It's like being a waiter in America and then getting confused when they tip you
it don't make much sense
Probably his first encounter with it, but that is his job
he knows it would happen
he was probably told this, and if he wasn't he could most likely guess
isnt it mentioned that this has never happened before
I don't rember
but their job is to monitor the vessels so like
why should he leave
yeah in the least no vessel has ever become sentient before sandY. so thinking mind would still be very unusual
i think their job is usually more to maintain the concept- run experiments and make sure there are no bugs. the cameras are there for vessel monitoring
It would be a bit odd to manage the concept in multiple different quadrants though
wouldn't you ideally want that to be united under one
unless there is some sort of universal meeting area where every exec can go
idk that would kinda be messy
8 keepers for 1 whole thing with presumably 100s of execs
splitting into quadrants would be ideal
the keepers share their thoughts and ideas at the meeting room
i take it that the different caretakers each have different takes on what the concept should be
quadrants = 4ths, so 2 keepers to a quad. we know arc had 64, so thats 256 total execs
The problem I feel like is the communication though, each keeper has 64 execs and they gotta talk for each one. Unless they're managing different parts of the concept then that would be kinda inefficient in terms of speed
well its 4 quadrants for both sides
uniting it would be messy but would allow for faster decision making
so its still 8 quadrants
word spreads quickly among the execs
apparently not enough cuz thomas didnt get the memo
everyone was tasked with dealing with sandy
at least in arc's quadrant
I mean, he was technically dealing with sandy
if he gets the message across to a few execs then itll spread
just in a different way
wonder whats with the red/blue division
red + blue = purple
who is purple
not really he was just blaming it on his workers and then doing nothing
ah
and also
limbo is purple
would that mean that its a collaboration between the keepers
Thomas was definitely doing something
it seems more blue to me
and also do each of the quadrants have their own limbos
yeah but not in the keepers interests
id assume so, each having an infinite amount of worlds within them
definitely purple
Yoooo you did it @analog topaz , he made a vid 😄
Hopefully some season 2 or any extra expansion on stuff is made even though this series could be completed
Ending did solve a lot for me and I’ve based down a personal theory that most people probably agree with but I still have some gaps
I do sort of grab Alice In Borderland vibes if anyone has ever watched that, you may also connect it up a bit.
Reminds me a lot of OFF
How. I don't see the OFF in this that much.
It's collapsing
Run!
I like to think the sickness is some big disease that hit the world, and every vessel that is shown as one of the flowers in the garden is someone who passed awsy because of it
So when the garden collapsed, all the vessels got released to pass away and move on
How it connected to minecraft is honestly interpretation my guess is how the characters we see in the videos are portraying the afterlife/limbo/etc
But there’s obviously the problem that these executives are holding the vessels in infinite loops and etc.
Wait
What if the loop the player are seeing
are actually minecraft in their mind
The exec loop it
wait no nevermind
this comment made me so mad (under your asking for part 2)
he was saying you never finish these args because you want people to subscribe to wait for the next one
this is just people being ignorant
never heard of a story and taking time to develop things
why would we care about subscribers if nothing changes based on the number
average lore-brained media consumer
Yup
Haha
If only I was that smart
I’m actually pretty bad at getting people to subscribe
In my YouTube career, I’ve moved towards basically not reading comments at all
The analytics tell me what I need to know
ive read a few of them under the latest video and its kinda shocking that ppl like specifically go to your comments to hate on things
i havent seen that anywhere else
video length may be a contributing factor but its still apparent ppl wanna watch it
so it's like, who cares if there are some negative comments. people clearly like this video overall
views
Sort of offtopic to the conversation at hand,
The Decayed should really drop their OSTs. Albeit some is just disturbing slowed down minecraft song. they have some amazing ones.
They seem to be using Community posts as a Out Of Lore platform to speak so maybe they will
the ost will be dropped eventually
when I was less experienced at youtube the negative comments would actually bother me. but now it's not an issue
hooraayy
thats fair yeah
and besides negativity often has a stronger effect than positivity so its best to ignore it in general
Based
yeah, I think that's one thing you just have to learn from experience
no matter what, there will be negativity
oh well!
as I said earlier, the analytics are the best indicator of if people like the video
and they obviously do
I'm sure they will
I really liked how they modified the MC music in the first few videos
You caught up on the videos Retro?
no not yet
mc music goes too hard it has to be utilized somehow
Everyone wants to be a chronic hater (like me 😄 )
But I think a lot of these commenters come from his deep dive audience, who should be in for a treat soon
But honestly I don't think the majority really cares
well that's where the analytics are useful: because it actually does show information about what the majority thought
I genuinely never knew just how many people don't know what unfiction is until I started looking at the comments of some of the videos covering MC unfiction
I thought that most people knew
apparently not
A lot of people call them creepypastas despite the fact that what a creepypasta is, is in the name
Some people think they're real even if they're far from any sensible logic
Other people have apparently never heard of fiction in their lives and think that it's a grand scheme for the creator to get clout and bait YouTubers
the interpretations vary wildly
I wonder what I would think of them if I'd never been exposed
they're definitely in the same category as creepypastas. I actually would say that in some ways my ARG videos are me successfully doing what I failed to do in the Entity 303 video
Creepypastas are text form, pasta is basically just slang for a big amount of text
That's why it's also called "Copypastas"
Though ironically, entity 303 is technically one of the earliest MC unfiction and one of the earliest creepypastas
due to the creators official videos about it
both the mini films and the infection shenanigans
right, I'm not saying they're the same
but I do think they both exist in a broader category
Digital storytelling?
sure. using a game as a platform for a story. Critically, though, the story is intended to be possibly real (even if only in a vague sense)
It's not fiction in the same way as a machinima, where everyone knows it's fake
but to a certain extent, this is all semantics. there's a blurry line between all of these categories of similar content
I think ppl call stuff like this creepypasta because it's easier to convey
Than saying "digital art scare" or something
I assume that's the reason, but when you call something like this a creepypasta. The first thing someone will usually think of is either Jeff the killer or sonic.exe. I feel like that does a bit of injustice to the work, even if its overall not that well made
like just saying ARG would be better and would be faster
true
its not even that creepypastas are necesarily bad
its just the popular ones are
Creepypastas.
Are a mood
An atmosphere
Of some story
Maybe ours.
Or something to relate to us
A feeling
Fiction,
Built for inspiration
Beautiful
Nostalgic
An Evergreen feeling throughout the years
Something to
Keep our minds open to possibilities
To something that's beyond our grasp
And keep wondering
And chasing
And fathoming the bizzareness
Of our own little tales
It's a reflection of our selves
This fiction
A reflection showing what we long for
We long for more
Fiction is something to learn from, not to be placed as ultimate
In this sense
It is truly a thing of beauty
And I am thankful for this.
except for the slenderman pasta that caused two girls to stab their friend 19 times

But slender is a pretty chill dude, the king of creepypasta
As I said.
It is not to be placed ultimate. Or above anything else.
||but man. That was a tragedy||
that's usually what I do, even if it's not technically accurate
@lethal spire i have a question
do the sound effects that play whenever a higher up character(architect, jacinthe etc) speaks mean anything in particular?
i say it conveys the message
not really
most ppl will call this an arg rather than a webseries as well
specific roles have their own sounds like all the execs share the sound you hear 05 use in les fleurs
the keepers have arcs sound
personally i see it as them being sorry for causing so much trouble within the concept
as in i am doubtful any vessels before made it this far
this would be my view too
but its up to interpretation
Yeah
the sound thing is another thing that makes me think the execs dont exist physically, and that the game just sort of automatically expresses their tone of thought via their talk sound
what are some things brought up in the series that havent been elaborated upon but should have
i immediately think of the sickness
- why was exec 03 seen before the sickness?
- who is jacinthe? where did she come from?
- what is the current state of physical reality, if it still exists
- whos uploading the videos
- what chased sandY in the disposal area
- what is the purpose of the constant looping? why is vessels becoming more aware seen as bad?
- what are the other keepers quads like?
interesting
though for 5 didnt thomas mention that there are more souls within the disposal
if so, why would they chase him? what would happen if he was found?
how do you know he was chased
it seemed like the footsteps were getting closer. i guess we dont know for sure, but it feels like something was hunting him down
oh and of course why did thomas burn the diaries
whats up with the 'real house', why does it disintegrate
why is serenemist's version of MC so different from ours
ill take note of these
Sickness fs
honestly not that interested in hearing more specifics about the sickness
knowing why it happened though i think would be interesting
but not how it works, leave that a mystery
the only issue with explaining all of these things is its hard to do when youre locked to using minecraft chat and/or books
i could see the execs having chatlog archives for the time before the sickness, if they were around then. possibly footage archvies too
I guess it’s all up to interpretation but is there a definitive line between just it being Minecraft or is this going on in the characters head due to the sickness. just portrayed in Minecraft
this is pretty interesting
i think they were playing mc at first (first 2 videos have mc big report in their title) but at this point the concept is just all of reality and external reality is gone
the first videos have mc bug report but couldnt that just be part of a bigger picture
Oof had a little theory written but it got
Blocked
another question i guess is why those say mc bug report when the uploader presumably would know more about whats going on
Yeah I guess the sickness is some sort of one that induces alot of mental symptoms. Idk
Not really thought about it hard
All up to interpretation aswell apparently
oh and the fake kargo is another big question, but im under the assumption that that was 03?
Probably an executive trying to resolve the situation
Situation being sandY becoming Sentient
Hopefully some more expansions happen in the near future, would love it. but I think it’s not a bad idea to leave it how it is and just let interpretation have its course.
could be arc could be an exec
nobody knows
i like to view it as a story which had been going on but it just happened to start getting captured when sandy started becoming sentient
if that makes sense
like stuff had already been progressing but sandy becoming sentient was the beginning of the channel
I think this story shines a lot of light on just personal stuff people deal with like change, (vid before les fleurs) and then I guess it gets even worse for our characters when the illness that maybe has a grip on the world starts to shed down their life
Just kids/teens enjoying their time on games, preparing to move on to many things like college but it just goes south due to this sickness which can be explained via anyone’s interpretation
also, wouldnt an international sickness causing presumably death to like millions even billions of people cause the world to go through a big change
because we can assume they were actually in the real world beforehand
If that’s the case, the characters are probably the first few carriers of it. Since the doctor had no idea what Matthew had in the diary he wrote.
I followed my own view on the les fleurs video and (need to rewatch soon) I think there was a mention that the flowers are all vessels in the garden
If the vessels are the disease carrier
the flowers are a representation of each of the vessels yeah
it shows every vessel within the concept
Yeah so I’m thinking maybe cause Andrew and Matthew caught that stuff first, (doctor in Matthews diary saying he hasn’t a clue what the disease is) it let them be the first (mainly Andrew) to break out of the concept
Not too sure
Maybe I’ll polish that up
Cause Matthew was the first one to get it out the group
But Andrew got sentience first
interesting
But essentially my point is somewhat around since the potential first carriers of the disease are the characters we know
It allows them to bust out this concept
im not too sure about that honestly
why would they be so special compared to anyone else
they got the same sickness
Yeah you are right
The executives aren’t really cleared up personally enough for me but I’ll probably do some revising on the videos
Like I can’t tell if they are actual workers in real life, or if it’s
Idk 🤷
oh huh in ep 2 the house has the symbol of jacinthe built over it
That is a good catch wtf
odd that its tied to a character that seems to have such importance
But I do remember a movie
(forgot the name, it was shown a lot on TikTok where the AI just make 3 min clips of the movie and then post)
And the gist was that the main character died and got uploaded to a virtual world where he could still interact with the world of the living
So with that logic executives can be explained
Its workers irl who have uploaded the deceased/ill on a network (ig it’s Minecraft) to study them
do yall understand how the cameras work
I only know that they come into the loop worlds if a signal is given in the world and the signal means something is messing up
And let’s execs see into experiments from the limbo
limbo is the experiment hall
not the office
terminal hall
O ye
whatever u wanna call it
assumedly they are inert beings, similar to vessels, that the execs can see through (possibly via the sigils on them?)
I doubt the sigils matter
I remember the one vid of the exec checking a camera and It was serenemist staring at it for a uncomfortable amount of time
it's just a fake player that they can look through
yea the sigils are meant as differentiators for the cameras
Imagine clocking into work where you deal with AI and one of the AI just stare into your souls through the camera
Forgot which exec
09
But that was a cool touch
Doorbell cat
oddly in the first 2 episodes when we see through voyeur it can move its veiw but later when we see 09 use the camera it seems it cant
Serenemist just peering into 09s soul
this is just an inconsistency through early writing
not important
Serenemist was typing out her fast food order but 09 stopped watching before she could finish it
she never got her fries
could explain it away as a more advanced version of the camera system 09 uses later
Are we serious bro
There are so many more of these
yt comments have never been serious
:(
LOOOLL
please no more comments i might die of second hand emberassment
we must figure it out
All of the comments on the videos where it's just serenemist and kargo are all just "I loved the part where they made out"
going to show up in these commenters dreams tonight and make them nightmares
LOOOOOLL
most people watch stuff with their brains off
Bro the vid was bomb asf “one of those days” hit hard as hell
i have to say this is one of the least funny parts of the comment sections
i love the serious comments
this is 100% the worst comment though i dont think we can find a lower low than this
No we did
the thing I just posted is under one of those days
Top comment on les fleurs was a guy spoiling the entire thing with no warning but in fairness who reads comments while watching the video
these other ones are dumb but not that conceptually dumb
Ok
I give up
Reading
I’m gonna leave this here
If you know you know
If you don’t I’m so sorry
Everyday we grow further from god
haha this is my friend
this one made me chuckle, not trying to make fun of this person its just a bit funny
ArchitectLover
Bro I ain’t even gonna say it but that is a crazy
they either comissioned or drew a custom arc pfp only for him to die
also there's an exec05 twitter account that someone made
Did he try to fake any lore
I remember seeing some guy spamming exec05 and then abunch of heart emojis
Forgot where
I sent it here
not related though
dw i made a community post so most ppl know the only real stuff is on the channel
Honestly fan accounts for a pretty little piece of media (no offense) is kinda impressive
That’s how yk
It hit hard
I won’t lie.
Unless ur a
Gooner who want to see all the characters do stuff to eachother
Surprisingly I'm pretty sure that the decayed is literally the only mc unfiction channel with these types of comments
not even TBoTV has that and it's way more schizo
there are honestly a lot of comments for a mc unfiction
No it's a pretty normal amount in comparison to others
I’m done now
the way we make our characters interact make them very prone to this kinda stuff
true
me when I see a friendship (it must mean they're dating)
real
Yeah idk what people saw in “one of those days” but I was expecting like a good amount of people to relate to the problem they was having
Since it happens almost
All the time
honestly if you write characters that arent paper thin your going to get stuff like this. might be annoying but its a good sign
i love giving characters personality
its bound to happen
btw I probably shouldn't mention this because this discord is still meant to be PG and whatnot... But the gooners already made some "stuff" for alphaver so uh
we hope and pray that everyone else is safe
☹️
Both a fanfic and drawing for some reason
as long as they are only gooning over the 18+ characters
Alphavers characters are all above 18 but also
they're Minecraft skins
what are you doing
you shouldve seen the premiere chat
very angry commentor
the amount of chair spam was insane
Are you french?
'ARE YOU? ARE YOU FRENCH?'
2 friends talking about moving on in life and having to go through big social changes (they are now dating)
He must know right now
A girl and a guy interact with each other (they are now dating)
2 AI trying to escape a loop (They Dating)
Blud acting like he didn’t act as fart master 5000 and in behind the scenes he crucified the exec
me and some other guy made people believe that the premier was genuinely starting in 3800 years for us
New character
bro im everywhere without you knowing...
not just in the decayed
Also someone said that they used the Italian calender
my favourite
what if I told you
Did you guys know eachother beforehand (friendgroup) before making The Decayed or did you guys kinda band up to make sum fire
the reasoning as to why we became friends was uhh
ok basically
The decayeds first pfp was black and white
Same icon, but white instead and black background
lim isnt part of decayed
hes acted in 2 episodes n made the abgrund track
I thought he was ngl
but everything else is me and another
The thing is though, 2 other webseries' ALSO had this same thing, and both of them had a similar style in terms of titling and abstractness. Those being CONTROL/LucidityAwoken (the one I made) and Slots available. We made a group chat because of this really dumb coincidence and I am now friends with them
Oh but he had some contribution then atleast rite
ye
Dope dope
Cold
Slots available is great, really creative
I don't actually know any definitive lore, I just helped out a tad and the rest from me is genuinely just theories
dont think ive seen those other 2
🤝
I did a slash because they're the same
Control is the channel name but LucidityAwoken is the series name
should have known you'd like slots because you mentioned OFF
i mean i suppose thats an inevitable part of the writing process
I’ll be honest only story I kept track in was slightly mine watch cause of RGN, the decayed caught my eye well maybe I’ll check out some in the future
correct
i mean like thinking of different interpretations
i like coming up with a lot of stuff and hearing others’ thoughts
Yeah did you know that your characters are all automatically dating cause they had a interaction in the story
ong
Have to break the news right now pal
stop writing your characters so zesty bruh...
On god
how come so many mc args/webseries have a character named andrew as a main part of their cast
ArchitectLover5 was born because of you
coincidence
Old pfp:
😭
sorry for the intrusion I am just consolidating stuff
I need to make a pinned message
andrewgames is. hm
oldest decayed pfp was so boring
the fact that this pfp is the reason why we became friends in the first place is so goofy LMAO
is there anything I should include in the pinned message?
other than channel link, probably my playlist
nah I don't think so
Vid is probably all you need, cause the story according to strats is all interpretation
Ig pfp evolution would be nice
You get given some facts and then piece it for yourself
Oo ye
mostly

The DECAYED is a series recorded from several perspectives. First it starts with sandYCarps8, who finds weird bugs in his world, but then realizes that he's ...
theres a lot of interpretation but a lot of definitive answers
Smh
whatttt
it makes them better by freeing them from the physical world
I personally believe that the sickness is a conspiracy theory perpetuated by the world government
Just like climate change
same thing im telling ya
I’m convinced that this is the sneak peak of a mr beast video but minecraft
I trapped 500 people in a looo
Loop
That would be insane
he would
He absolutely would
he would not feed them either
I trapped 500 people in a loop and gave them a brand new sickness constructed by my unpaid workers in a lab 500m deep underground
I hired the same bat that caused COVID and made it create a new sickness
my nice pfp
I TRAPPED INFINITE people in an ARTIFICIAL AFTERLIFE in MINECRAFT
That's something more akin to what skeppy would do
oh heres the channel banner full version
i must say i really enjoy symbolism
Next video the welcome to the game hackers hack the concept
oh snap they updated the banner
generally symbolic storytelling is better than overly literal storytelling. without stuff to read into media becomes boring
Very nice touch to the ending
did anyone save the older one?
i can prob find it for u
Andrew think he cold for saying that
Bro thought it hit deep
i dont really think what andrew did was good, for all they know they will just end up on another layer of reality rather than being erased
ima put his quote on r/iam14andthisisdeep and get 50k Reddit updoots while still not friendly firing despite my love of twenty one pilots
I like to think he releases all the vessels from being stuck in a torture loop but if there’s any other morbid video that happens after or some new lore drop that would be funny
LOOOOOL
is having 05 lined up with the lilac plant that the cameras usually hide in intentional?
coincidence
I thought it was just a hint of irony considering the execs know about the myth of the garden and also Jacinthe
It seems flowers in general make a big appearance in this
do u guys have any theories for jacinthe
and we can see from the garden that the concept is not inherently hellish
seeing as theres not a lot of info surrounding her
jac probably exists
Not a clue besides someone who wanted a safe haven for the vessels but the people she hired just had other plans for greed
Id personally like to believe that the entire story takes place in Thomas's head while he was completely zooted and the next video will be a compilation of what he did irl during his green out
How she came to be or backstory is idk
Nice bro
Nice
probably some sort of god figure. dont think she was ever human. but not omnipotent, she simply tried to create a new reality for those effected by the sickness and then was hands off from there
Maybe the blunt was too strong
Started getting red spots
They was passing it around
yeah exactly
I'd like to think she made the Concept as a way to kinda make her own afterlife, especially since there was a virus just straight up crippling people, and nobody knew why.
dream blunt rotation
interesting
so she is the creator and hired the super execs to run the place
but they are obviously throwing the bag
id like to point out that jacinthe is white/purple
Think she loves the garden too much
the keepers are red and blue
just like the pfp 😱
Jacinthe enters the terminal hall and guns down every executive
the execs arent in charge of anything
that would be the keepers
Ye keepers
execs are just pawns for the keepers yeah
Forgot the name for a second
oh that's what I meant instead of super execs
Execs are the grunts
honestly we dont even know enough about the other keepers to judge them yet
i assume jacinthe doesnt do anything about it because shes slightly incompetent and well shes outnumbered
looking at the meeting hall, it looks like each keeper has their own hallway., so they all manage their own thing.
8 to 1
Me omw to the garden layer with incendiary weaponry
Maybe Andrew didn’t sacrifice himself and he just broke down the tree made a crafting table a wooden pick axe and started progressing his own world
Dug down for some stone
so if we assume each of the keepers have their own dome like arc
Called it a day
Realized it was a super flat world
based on what thomas says in the confrontation arc is somewhat recessive controlling over the simulations even by the others standards
Realized it was a super flat world so he just quit to title screen
and also
or I was thinking more of the clockwork universe kind of thing, where she starts it and doesn't interfere
are there more places in the concept that we havent seen yet
like unheard of dimensions
the keepers seem terrified of her but i dont think she knows it. she feels distant from everything. id guess at some point she gave on on helping and resigned herself to the garden
yeah like the nether. Homeboy could have just left via the nether
she appeared after arc was killed
shocked by the occurrence
They speak of jacinthe as a god tho, always referring to her as “her” so she might have the strength to really correct the keepers. But doesn’t OR her reputation just carries her and she’s lost the ability after something
clearly she holds some power
And no ones tried their luck
they dont refer to her as jacinthe
Not really, I feel like they would call her "Her" and "She"
which is basically a way to say "yo this dude a god"
but that might because she is common knowledge
you capitalize the first letter
just 'Her'. not really seeing her as a person as much as a force
going on the god theory, its possible that the keepers, having once been human, are just assuming she is in some way malevolent or dangerous out of instinctive fear of the unknown. shes something external to their reality so they assume her to be incomprehensible
sandy mentions arc as a “being”
what does that imply
because hes obviously in the game
does it mean hes a higher being or a normal vessel just with more control
its clearly something otherwordly because sandy eliminated arc without interaction
execs and higher clearly have sentience at least. execs, at least some of them, were at one point hired humans, the names of the keepers are more... archetypal though.
their names are all synonyms of eachother
like the creators of each individual quadrant
the only ones that dont have sentience are the vessels
where do you find the vessels? within their respective loops
they all are named after some sort of creative or creator role
im unsure what the distinction between sentient and thinking mind is honestly.
its almost like they were peacefully transferred into the game to act as the workers
sentient would be full self control
thinking mind would be half that
youre like on the verge of gaining self control due to an occurrance
so thinking minds would continue in their loop but perhaps have distressed or confused reactions to it
like in the early episodes when sandY is distressed at the looping but keeps digging the stairs like they did before
then he was a thinking mind
still following the loop but is able to think
I mean, every layer has some sort of purpose and the importance of each layer seems to go in descending order
Garden is where all of the souls are
Grenzen is where, I assume memories of things can be emulated and it uses the souls memories so it yknow, works
Then abgrund whose purpose I don't think was revealed, but most likely some sort of barrier between them.
Limbo needs the other layers to operate
And so does the experiment hall
Though, considering there seem to be no dimensions, but just layers of things. The place where all of the experiments are actually located in is most likely slotted in-between somewhere. Most likely being below limbo since you drop into each experiment through limbo. Though no one ever drops into the grid of experiments, but they TP to it instead
The keepers realm is probably at the very top
I don't really see why there would be extra layers aside from maybe some place where jacinthe chills. It's obviously not the garden because she only goes to it after architect vanishes and it's most likely not in the keepers realm due to the fact that there is no place for purple as there is already a split middle of blue and red
If I were to assume, the experiments themselves are their own layer, but are probably counted as part of limbo for ease
The keepers realm is also probably its own layer, and so is wherever Jacinthe goes to do whatever she does but they're simply never mentioned because why would the execs know about them
i dont really view the entire concept as a layer
rather the concept is the multiverse
so the keepers would have their dimension
which consists of the meeting room and their domes
limbo/abyss dimension
because limbo is above the abyss
but then 111 says the abyss is below the entirety of the concept
the garden seems to be an underlying symbolic layer from which the rest was built- each flower is a vessel and the tree is the concept itself. if one is destroyed the other is too
so what if the dimensions correspond to eachother
then again it is a layer of the abyss
presumably the bottom one
I mean, I kinda see it like
Grenzen and the garden are supplies for The Concept at the top
the garden is like the founding plains of the concept
perhaps its non-euclidean and the different quads are overlaid on each other from a 3d perspective, being seperate in 4d space
I'm pretty sure this is still meant to be in Minecraft so idk why they would add the 4th dimension
im thinking its like how the overworld and nether works
but its 1-1 rather than 1-7 or whatever
overworld is limbo/abyss
nether is keepers dimension
and seperate dimensions for each other unspecified location
like the office or even thomas’ white space
wonder what the purpose of grenzen is?
we know it has many black boxes containing many other spaces
execs can warp to it, at least thomas can
thomas got to grenzen the same way sandy and matthew did
What if Thomas' white space was actually just the set for a black mirror episode that they never used and he appropriated it
through some transitional area in abgrund
isnt the office in grenzen though?
ah i guess it just contains a similar room like the other grenzen space contains the house. or did i imagine it having an office area
oh not the office i mean the table and 2 chairs
oh
well from what we can tell
both andrew and matthew saw the castle in their boundary
the castle is a memory
does this mean the boundaries represent memories
i remember thomas saying 'we were going to build a castle' when introducing himself. perhaps they are actually from slightly different continuities
so from andrews perspective the castle was built and from thomas's it wasnt
it's possible that he just didn't see the castle being built and assumed it was never built
yeah this
so grenzen would have a black box for each world in the first layer, which would have all possible structures that appear in the loop of that world
and also there are details from loss of control that tie into les fleurs
Sandy's loop is obviously something that actually happened irl, and considering there isn't a clone of Thomas there it's completely possible he just wasn't there when it originally happened
like andrew was jumping to see on top of the staircase bookshelf, there was nothing, he looked behind the tower ladder, nothing, but when matthew went there he saw things in those same spots
on top of the bookshelf was a mushroom, behind the ladder was a sign saying andrew was there
and if its smth that happened irl why would serenemist and xiphoid have the same house
did the keepers reuse sandy and kargo’s set
it's not the same exact set but probably just laziness
alternatively, serenemist and xiphoid couldve just not been real people at all and instead it's an attempt by arch to create new people using people who already exist
I mean, we see sandycarps842 or whatever
so
clones can happen
We also don't see the other experiments so
sandycarps26 and kargosh54 are definitely attempts at clones
but that brings the question
why
why would they need clones
does this tie into a bigger picture perhaps
testing?
"yo bro, I just created new people"
