I have always found WW1 history fascinating and this game surprised me with how it depicted Jack's background. What I want now is a prequel that takes place during the Quite Big Affair. Imagine being a young Jack shooting spikey-hat Old World loonies with a bolt action rifle. This game did world building very well so I'm sure that a QBA prequel would expand on that even more.

I watched Marques Brownlee's video about the truck and he said that he didn't see an option to switch from one-pedal drive. Is this the only way to drive the truck? I'm going to be honest with you, I hate one-pedal driving. It just doesn't feel safe to me, and I like being able to coast. Now I fully expect a bunch of one-pedal enthusiasts to tell me how wrong I am for this opinion, but that's not what I'm asking. Is there a way to drive the Slate truck just as a regular two-pedal automatic car?

edit: lmao called it

• From what I understand, the Backrooms keeps creating copies of stuff, and each copy is a degradation of the previous one. So I assume that Clark's monster was the first copy of Clark. Is the fact that Clark's monster bit into Clark and then chased Dr. Kline due to it "copying" the behavior of Clark eating the other monsters?
• If Clark's behavior were to change after the creation of Clark's monster, would that first copy of Clark then change itself to fit the change in Clark? In other words, was the creation of the monster a one-time event and the monster a finished product, or was the monster's aggression due to copying Clark further after the monster's initial creation? I assume the monster's behavior changed over time since it did not initially kill Clark before Dr. Kline arrived.
• Will there be further copies of the monster, each getting more and more messed up? Will the next copy of the monster reflect its injuries from getting its leg smashed by Dr. Kline?
• At the beginning of the film it showed a live bird flying into the Backrooms and then dying. Much later in the film it showed a mutilated bird on the ground, but it looked different from the initial bird (I think it was a seagull?). Was that 2nd bird a copy of the 1st bird?
• Since Clark was copied, does that mean that the hazmat guys will also be copied? Why do they wear hazmat suits anyways? And what were they spraying Dr. Kline with when she encountered them?
• The objects that we see in the Backrooms are mainly copies of the local environment directly outside the portal, but it seemed that it was possible to get from the furniture store portal to the Asynch compound portal. Does this mean that there is a network of portals that span the world? Also, if you were traversing the backrooms and got near a portal that opened up in Beijing, would all the signs around that portal be in Chinese?

Apologies if some of these are basic lore questions, I haven't really kept track of Backrooms lore tbh.

As I understand it (and correct me if I'm wrong), prices in the United States during the Great Depression fell because the money people had put into banks and loans was defaulted/wiped off the books. To the average person running a business, they could not sell their products at the same price because their consumers lacked the funds to pay those prices. This meant that the value of the dollar went up because there was a cut in the supply of money (again, please correct me). This was a drop in demand because people didn't have diddly squat to their name, different from the money printing causing mass inflation in say Weimar Germany.

I've noticed in recent days that people aren't buying as much stuff as they used to. We've maintained targeted inflation but wages haven't risen enough to accommodate, so there's less demand for consumer goods than there once was. There's also a huge amount of debt owed by everyone that I would think will need correction at some point. The stock market also seems to be completely gamified at this point and is increasingly detached from the performance of the industry it's supposed to represent (sorry for being subjective, that's why I'm asking here). There's also much less money going between working class people and we're paying more money to fewer companies. Does any of this point to deflation in the near future?

(I assume leaving the gold standard also changes the calculus a lot)

I can sound out a theme that's stuck in my head in individual notes (and then play it in different keys lol), but idk how to convert that into a fully melody with chords. There's some fundamental music theory stuff I'm probably missing here. Where might I learn to do this?
