What's actually going on with the President in CLIFTCHAOS?

What's actually going on with the President in CLIFTCHAOS?

We are told that the events of CLIFTCHAOS start 2 weeks after the disappearance of James Dean, so after the events of DEANDEVIL, which means that Clift needs to be in office. We are told that the Incumbent President was attacked by a dog and got to a hospital, after which we are told that "she requested a full explanation be provided", seemingly implying a female president.

I've seen several theories on what this could mean. One that I've seen pop up a few times is that after Dean crashed into Melrose, Cthonaut A set back time to a pre-election period during which a female president was incumbent, but Clift won either way (one version I've seen actually claimed that this change counts as a timeline seperation and should thus count as a different universe from the Cliftverse).

There is also a possibility of her being Speaker Of The House, or whover would take office after the president and vice are both unable to. I've also seen ideas that this could be the same HER from the Nixonverse (which even then I'm not to sure who that's supposed to be), and that she is in no way the incumbent president. What's actually going on?

Updated my ending and secret chart to be universally applied to all versions of the game!

I also added a few other things that weren't there in the original version of my chart. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could point out any mistakes I made, as this is probably one of the more complicated things I worked on in my spare time and I'm prone to making errors

Noticed the endings chart on the Stanley Parable wiki was either incorrect or simply outdated, so I made my own recreation of it!

Just so we're clear this is only for the Ultra Deluxe version. I also included some extras that come from special events, as well as the locations of the Stanley figurines. The names for most events/endings are either taken from the wiki or are names created by me based on what happens in the game. I would really apprechiate if anyone were to point out any mistakes or things I missed.

"Ok, now a real one" type of images

Genuinely no idea how to describe this and these are the only two examples that I have

Extremely OP abilities or powers that are underutilized because of the type of media they're in

When the characters would realistically be extremely overpowered in any other form of media but because of the genre or nature of their medium they're not

The Numbertaker [Numberjacks] - This applies to most of the Meanies, but with him it's the most evident. His power is to take away (and in some instances add) numbers. While it seems ridiculous, the show explicitly shows that he can also take away amounts of things or as well as change rules of reality if they relate to a number (in one instance he makes it so that someone isn't allowed to use one of their legs).

One of the characters even mentions that he is able to take away clouds. He also has other powers such as teleportation and manipulation of objects as long as they are in the quantity he is after.

The Miraculous(es) [Miraculous Ladybug] - This one can moreso be attributed to poor writing. Two Miraculous powers can gift people with powers, with one of them having no limit to the type of power that can be gifted. A Miraculous capable of creating life, and under certain conditions that life becomes autonomous. Two miraculouses are for time travel, one reverses time to a set point and the other allows for unlimited travel to any time period. The list goes on.

On top of all this, if you are an "adult" (this seems related to a person's maturity rather than their physical age) there's no limit to the amount of times you can use your power, with the only caveat being that most powers only work once at a time. The worst part is that when some of these powers are utilized for something more, the heroes receive some sort of plot armor.

[Specific Trope] An element that inevitably doubles the amount of content

I hope from the examples it becomes clear what I'm talking about because I love this trope and I have no idea how to describe it. Although it mostly applies to video games I think it could have some examples elsewhere.

Tainted Characters [The Binding Of Isaac: Repentance] - If you have the Red Key or Cracked Key and get to the Home floor, you will unlock a 'Tainted' version of the character, which takes a spin on the mechanics of the standard character or has brand new mechanics altogether. Each character in the game has a Tainted variant.

The Reassurance Bucket [The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe] - After unlocking the bucket during the Stanley Parable 2 section, you have a chance to pick it up upon every reset. Most of the endings in the game are altered by the bucket, and it even provides new endings of it's own.

Edit: the best way I can describe this is unlockable elements that substancially expand the content of the game. It doesn't necessarily need to be post game content, but that's something that I would classify under this trope as well if the content is different from the main game enough.

Is it possible that Michael still lives in the Afton residence?

This might turn out to be the most "fork found in kitchen" ass take ever but here I go.

I've been thinking about the fake ending of Sister Location a lot. Realistically, if Ennard was able to escape from the bunker by himself without Michael's skin, then why would he scoop him in the first place?

However, if Michael were still living in his parent's house (most likely alone considering most if not all of his family is dead at this point) then all Ennard had to do was to ride the elevator up and enter the house.

Ennard needs his skin to walk around in public. While it's implied that he's still going to work daily and returning after each shift, it's not something explicitly stated (although "enjoy some time at home" could be invocative of that). It's entirely possible that Ennard isn't making a back and fourth between Circus Baby's and Michael's home, as those locations could be just right next to each other.

I have also considered the possibility that the ending is called 'fake' because it's physically impossible, as Ennard would get found out on his way to Michael.

What do you guys think of this?

Trying to find a youtube video discussing what counts as a glitch during video game speedruns

I'm fairly certain the video began by discussing a speedrun of Mirror's Edge (it's entirely possible I'm mixing it up and Mirror's Edge was used as a background for the video while the actual game for which this happened is totally different; it's also possible that I'm mixing up the scenario, but I am 100% sure that Mirror's Edge was a part of the video) in which a skip was discovered by accident and in spite of that the run still counted as glitchless. The video then goes on to talk about what a glitch actually is and several other examples of things that could be considered "glitches in glitchless runs". I vaguely remember watching the video sometime around/before 2019 and being younger at the time I didn't really understand the concept of the video, but watched it nevertheless. I can't remember anything beyond that intro, probably because of the formerly mentioned reason. I'm sorry if the video is actually pretty easy to find, I wasn't able to find it myself. I tried posting this on r/tipofmytongue but my post was deleted
