There's something delightfully fucked up about somehow binding people's consciousness to animatronics and then taking that a step further to turn part of your spirit or whatever into code to gain another form of immortality. I also Really dig the idea of Glitchtrap killing OG Afton - almost something poetic about the shift of power from Afton being killed by his own OpenAi-Powered fursona for me. But I guess he probably canonically died in Pizza Sim.

I like Help Wanted+SB era FNAF a lot more than the older games, but there's so many interesting things to carry forward from the old stuff too. My city now.

Oh that would be a hell of a narrative play for him to die like that ngl

But yeah. Our city now lmao

#yeah there's some fun stuff back there #it's time to apply what has come from there to the new stuff though #for me anyway #literally every time someone 'solves' fnaf something comes along and butchers it we should know the cadence by now #that's just not fun for me. I like to make sense of what I can see and with the narratives I can form from the threads #i feel like I have actual characters to play around with now whereas before it was just. #OCs in the shape of the old animatronics because they didn't HAVE characters #it had an impact on me of course but it was the concepts of animal animatronics #of hiding things in plain sight and of arcades and play places with mascot characters that were always there to entertain #the themes of mystery and murders was fun too but it's. not a mystery we can solve anymore #i believe that's intentional #if people are forever trying to solve the lore then the game never dies. #that's just how the rehashing feels to me now :/ #but that's just it isn't it? #that's what the story has become to me. #a story of a company making decisions for money and reputation over safety and common fucking sense #and it's fascinating to me to look at the characters caught in the crossfire #that can do NOTHING because of this giant fictional Disney holding the strings to their entire lives #maybe I've just been thinking about justice in Meteors and the elaborate cover ups too much recently #but SB and Ruin feel like the extreme results of a company that Does Not Care. #well there's still Glitchyboy and Vanny but even then... #I dunno. i like the story being the result of a company that couldn't care less #i like it being about what came from a generation they tried to move on from but chose to drag with them #i like the idea of them scrambling to solve problems CHEAPLY and not necessarily EFFICIENTLY #the true reality of a CEO that's never set foot into the world of the layperson or the world that they've created #a true group of fools in a board meeting discussing the shares of a covered up murder machine #those within this machine can only control their response. some of them don't even have that. #and yet somehow #SOMEHOW they're clinging on. #SOMEHOW they're still here.
