#MATPAT TAKES FANTASY FICTIONAL STORIES AND TRIES TO APPLY REAL LIFE LOGIC AND MATH TO IT TO MAKE SENSE OF IT

[aftonenterprise-moved]

remember when matpat was like "BY THE AMOUNT OF MINIMUM WAGE MIKE IS MAKING WE CAN DEDUCE THIS GAME TAKES PLACE IN 1987" youre fucking INSANE dude. THE CHECK LITERALLY SAID "20XX" ON IT

#ooc #it makes me so. ggh.AAAHHHHHH #I CANT ARTICULATE WHY IT MAKES ME SO MAD #BUT IM GOING TO TRY #FNAF THEORIES ARE ALWAYS FOCUSED ON THE LOGISTICS OF THE SERIES AND WHAT 'MAKES SENSE' FOR THE TIME PERIOD AND WHAT MAKES SENSE AS PER NUMB #NUMBERS** AND I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE MATPAT HIMSELF DOES NOT THEORIZE IN A FICTIONAL META FANTASY WAY #MATPAT TAKES FANTASY FICTIONAL STORIES AND TRIES TO APPLY REAL LIFE LOGIC AND MATH TO IT TO MAKE SENSE OF IT #WHICH IS OKAY. GO RIGHT AHEAD. DO THAT #BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT *FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS* IS ABOUT AND I DOUBT IT WAS A COMPONENT SCOTT CAWTHON WAS FUCKING WORRIED ABOUT WHEN WRITING #THE STORY CONSIDERING 99% OF SCOTTS INTIIAL WORK WAS FANTASTICAL RIDICULOUS COMEDY FANTASY SHIT ABOUT TALKING COFFEE POTS #AND JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE. BONAFIDE JESUS!!!!!!!!! I DONT THINK THIS GUYS DOING THE FUCKING MATH FOR HIS FICTIONAL STORIES #I THINK SCOTT CAWTHON LIKE *MOST OTHER ARTISTS WHO TELL STORIES ABOUT SHIT LIKE THIS* CARED MORE ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL REACTIONS THEN THE #LITERAL FUCKING MATH OF THE YEARS OR THE DATES OR THE PAYCHECKS OR THE FUCKING ANIMATRONICS PISTONS #okay yelling moment over im not actually that mad im just really impassioned #i love art. i love fictional stories. i love emotionally driven stories. i love abstraction. i love symbolism. the game is full of it! #but i feel like when you sit there and argue with the story *itself* about what its about youre missing the point of the story at all #and youre missing the forest for the trees my man
