I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on this. The "benefit" of not having a ticking seconds hand is to mask the fact that it's quartz, and doesnt have that cheap feeling "ticking" motion that some people might not like.
Take this with a grain of salt. I dont want to disclose his name or location, but I saw a Respawn developer at the gym. I verified his face on LinkedIn later. (He said he was on the Jedi Survivor Team) I went up to him and made conversation. He told me that Titanfall 3 was indeed in development but then became Apex legends. However, I asked him if Titanfall 3 will ever be a thing and he actually told me that Titanfall 3 is certainly in the talks, and that strangely enough, it may be a single-player only game. Obviously this isn’t a confirmation of anything, I just thought it was a cool conversation.
Dont get me wrong, I loved these two quirks from their visual expression to how deku utilized them on the battlefield. But i feel like they were redundant given Deku already had stockpiling super strength (which boosts power and speed). Fajin boosted power and speed. Gearshift boosts speed, and therefore power. I felt like deku shouldve gotten more unique (tho not overpowered) quirks instead so we couldve seen more creative quirk combinations. What quirks would've you like to see instead of these two powers?
In 38mm of course. they already have the case! they should def make it because it is a absolutely beautiful watch and a lot of people would love to buy it!
This post does indeed discuss religion but it's part of the reason why the government is so hesitant on disclosure.
There is a version of the alien question that is too small. It asks whether little gray beings came from another planet, crashed in New Mexico, and were hidden by the government. But the deeper question is stranger: what if the UFO phenomenon is not simply about visitors from space, but about the structure of reality itself? What if the ancient gods, the Anunnaki, the Nephilim, the glowing chariots of Ezekiel, the modern Tic Tac encounters, the abduction phenomenon, the rumors around Jimmy Carter’s briefing, and even the recent panic over dead and missing scientists are all fragments of one single story?
This theory begins in the far future.
Not with aliens, but with us.
Thousands of years from now, humanity reaches the height of technological power. We master artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, orbital infrastructure, genetic engineering, and perhaps even consciousness transfer. But we do not master ourselves. The same impulses that created civilization also destroy it: greed, tribalism, violence, arrogance, and the inability to restrain power once it becomes godlike. In the end, Earth is devastated by a near-extinction event. Whether through climate collapse, nuclear war, runaway AI, engineered disease, ecological failure, or some combination of all of them, the planet is no longer able to support human civilization as it once did.
A small remnant survives. These are not kings or politicians. They are scientists, engineers, and preservationists. They understand that simply repopulating Earth would not solve the problem. If humanity is rebuilt with the same unfiltered moral defects, the same collapse will happen again. The issue is not merely biological survival. The issue is moral selection.
This is where the simulation begins.
According to the simulation thesis we are building from, the survivors create an orbital ark: a vessel powered by the Sun, containing a superintelligence, a biological reconstruction system, and the ability to preserve or generate human bodies. future survivors, a space vessel, a supercomputer, solar energy, and 3D bioprinting technology designed to repopulate Earth after devastation.
But before they print new bodies and begin again, they create a test.
They build a simulation of human history.
Not a cartoon world. Not a game. A total reality environment in which conscious beings live, suffer, choose, love, kill, forgive, worship, build, destroy, and reveal what they really are. The point of the simulation is not entertainment. It is selection. It is a moral filtration system. The question is not “Can humans survive?” The question is: which humans can be trusted with reality once reality is restored?
This explains why the simulation cannot be obvious. If everyone knew they were being tested, the result would be useless. People would behave morally out of fear, calculation, or self-interest. A valid test requires uncertainty. It requires a world where God is hidden, where justice is not immediate, where evil sometimes prospers, where good people suffer, and where the human soul reveals itself without full knowledge of the scoreboard.
This also explains why suffering exists inside the system. A world with constant divine intervention would not be a moral test. It would be a supervised classroom where everyone behaves because the teacher is watching. But a world where God seems absent forces the deeper question: what do you do when goodness costs you something and nobody appears to be rewarding you?
That is the brutal logic of the simulation.
Religion, in this theory, is not a primitive misunderstanding of nature. Religion is embedded guidance. It is the rulebook placed inside the system, not in technical language, but in myth, law, commandment, ritual, and story. The Torah, the prophets, the moral codes of ancient civilizations, the concept of judgment after death, Olam HaBa, paradise, resurrection, karma, dharma, divine law—all of these become culturally adapted versions of the same basic instruction: live in a way that proves you can inherit the next world.
My simulation argument makes this argument directly: the Old Testament becomes a guide for selection, giving humans a standard by which their behavior can be judged.
Now we introduce the explosive Carter claim.
For the sake of this theory, let us assume the famous Jimmy Carter rumor is true. Carter, a deeply religious man who had once reported seeing a UFO, is allegedly briefed on the classified reality of the phenomenon. According to the story, he is told that the major religions were not created by humans alone, but were introduced or shaped by non-human intelligences to prevent humanity from destroying itself while it was being studied, guided, or tested.
If true, Carter’s reaction makes perfect sense. He would not merely be hearing “aliens exist.” That would be shocking, but survivable. He would be hearing that the entire spiritual architecture of human civilization had an engineered function. He would be hearing that religion was not false exactly, but operational. It was not merely belief. It was infrastructure.
In this model, that is the secret that breaks people. Not aliens. Not saucers. Not recovered bodies. The real secret is that humanity is inside a moral machine.
This brings us to ancient aliens.
Almost every civilization preserves some memory of beings from above: gods descending from heaven, divine beings mating with humans, heavenly chariots, giants, watchers, sky people, luminous messengers, and forbidden knowledge. The Sumerians had the Anunnaki. Greek mythology had gods who bred with mortals and produced heroes. Hindu literature speaks of celestial vehicles and cosmic wars. Mesoamerican traditions preserve sky-being imagery. The Hebrew Bible speaks of the Bnei Elohim, the Nephilim, the Anakim, and the Rephaim.
The theory does not require every ancient myth to be literally true. It only requires that many myths are distorted cultural memories of system-level interaction.
In the Hebrew version, Genesis 6 describes the “sons of God” taking human women and producing mighty beings of old. Later traditions identify these beings with fallen watchers. This connects this to the Nephilim, Anakim, Rephaim, Og of Bashan, and the idea that these were hybrid or semi-divine beings remembered across cultures.
The Anunnaki, in this model, are not simply aliens from Nibiru. They are system operators remembered by Mesopotamian civilization. The Anakim are not merely tall tribes. They are the Hebrew memory of the same phenomenon filtered through Torah language. The Rephaim are the fading remnant, the weakened descendants, the ghostly afterimage of an earlier intervention. The source explicitly links the Anunnaki pattern with the Hebrew Nephilim/Anakim/Rephaim sequence and interprets these traditions as different cultural versions of a single ancient event.
Then there is Ezekiel.
Ezekiel sees a storm cloud, fire, glowing metal, wheels within wheels, lightning, beings, wings, and something like a divine vehicle. Traditionally, this is the Ma’aseh Merkavah, the mystical vision of the divine chariot. But in the ancient astronaut reading, Ezekiel is describing advanced technology using ancient vocabulary. He does not have the words “craft,” “rotor,” “plasma,” “engine,” “cockpit,” or “electromagnetic field.” So he says wheels, fire, living creatures, firmament, lightning, and glory.
Ezekiel’s “wheels within wheels,” shining metal, electricity-like imagery, fire, clouds, vertical movement, and overwhelming sound are interpreted as a primitive description of something technological.
In the simulation theory, however, these are not necessarily physical spaceships from another planet. They are interface events. The system is being accessed from a higher layer, and ancient humans describe that access as divine machinery.
That same pattern continues into the modern age.
Roswell becomes the mythic hinge point. In 1947, something happens in New Mexico. The official explanation eventually points to a military balloon program, but the cultural memory refuses to die because the initial Army press release said a “flying disc” had been recovered. In the theory, Roswell is not the beginning of alien contact. It is the moment the modern state touches the machinery of the system and realizes this phenomenon is older than government, older than science, older than civilization itself.
Then come the cases that will not disappear.
The U.S. government’s own 2021 ODNI report reviewed 144 UAP reports from government sources; 80 involved multiple sensors, and only one was confidently identified as a deflating balloon. The others remained unexplained due to limited data. This does not prove aliens, but it proves that the phenomenon is officially real as an intelligence and aviation problem.
The Pentagon officially released three Navy videos in 2020—FLIR1, Gimbal, and GoFast—confirming that they were authentic Navy recordings of unidentified aerial phenomena. Again, authentic does not mean extraterrestrial, but it means these are not random internet hoaxes.
The 2004 Nimitz Tic Tac encounter becomes one of the strongest modern pillars. Navy pilots, including Commander David Fravor and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich, described a white Tic Tac-shaped object with no visible wings or exhaust, behaving in ways that seemed far beyond ordinary aircraft. In the theory, the Tic Tac is not necessarily a spacecraft. It is a maintenance object, a system pr*be, or an operator interface moving according to rules outside our rendered physics.
Then there is David Grusch. In 2023, he testified before Congress that he had been told of a secret crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering program and claimed that “non-human biologics” had been recovered. The weakness is obvious: much of his testimony was secondhand, and no public craft or bodies have been verified. But the significance is still massive: a former intelligence official made extraordinary claims under oath in a formal congressional setting.
The modern UAP evidence does not prove extraterrestrials. It proves something subtler and, in some ways, more disturbing: governments are tracking phenomena they cannot fully explain, pilots are reporting objects they cannot identify, and official institutions have been forced to admit that “unidentified” does not simply mean “imaginary.” The evidence list captures this exact point: the strongest argument is not one silver-bullet case, but the recurring pattern of trained observers, radar, military reports, official investigations, and unresolved cases.
Now we bring in abductions.
In the classic alien theory, abductions are biological experiments by extraterrestrials. In the simulation theory, abductions are system interventions. People are removed from ordinary continuity, examined, altered, tagged, warned, or psychologically imprinted. The recurring themes—hybridization, reproductive focus, telepathic communication, missing time, paralysis, medical procedures, and warnings about ecological destruction—are not random. They are exactly what one might expect if the simulation’s operators were monitoring genetic continuity, moral development, and civilizational risk.
This also reframes the “grays.”
They may not be aliens at all. They may be avatars: minimal biological or synthetic interface bodies used by the system. Their strange appearance—large eyes, small bodies, reduced emotion, clinical behavior—would not represent a natural species, but a functional design. They are not here to live. They are here to operate.
That brings us to the darker modern layer: the deaths.
Amy Eskridge was a real person: a young researcher and entrepreneur associated with exotic science and advanced propulsion ideas. Her obituary describes her as the co-founder of the Institute for Exotic Science in Huntsville, Alabama, and someone with a deep vision for science and the cosmos.
In conspiracy circles, her 2022 death became part of a larger pattern: scientists, propulsion researchers, nuclear-linked experts, and UFO-adjacent figures dying or disappearing under strange circumstances. Responsible reporting and skeptical analysis emphasize that such claims can be inflated by selection bias, and one skeptical account notes that her family accepted a non-conspiratorial explanation rather than a UFO-cabal narrative.
But inside the theory, the power of the Eskridge story is symbolic. If certain people get too close to propulsion, vacuum energy, gravity manipulation, or the physics of the simulation layer, then their work would not merely threaten governments. It would threaten the boundary between the simulated world and the operating system beneath it.
David Wilcock becomes part of the same modern mythos. He was a major figure in the disclosure and ancient aliens world, associated with claims about hidden history, secret space programs, consciousness, and cosmic cycles. Reports in April 2026 said he died at 53, with outlets describing his death in the context of a mental health crisis and his prominence in UFO and paranormal media.
To be clear, the responsible view is not to turn every tragedy into proof of assassination. Human beings die. Researchers die. Public figures suffer. But conspiracy theories form when multiple deaths occur near a subject already surrounded by secrecy. In this grand theory, Wilcock’s death does not “prove” the secret. It becomes part of the psychological atmosphere of disclosure: people who spend too long staring into this possibility often become consumed by it.
That may be the most frightening part. The secret may not need assassins. The secret may be destabilizing enough on its own.
Now the full theory comes into focus.
Humanity destroyed itself in the far future. Survivors built an orbital ark and created a simulation to identify morally viable consciousnesses. The system required guidance, so religion was embedded as a behavioral framework. Ancient humans encountered system operators and remembered them as gods, angels, watchers, Anunnaki, Nephilim, and chariots of fire. Some of these interactions were benevolent. Some were exploitative. Some were misunderstood. Over time, the original truth fragmented into myth.
Modern UAPs are not new arrivals. They are the same phenomenon appearing in a technological age. When ancient people saw them, they called them angels. When medieval people saw them, they called them demons or heavenly signs. When modern pilots see them, they call them UAPs. The object has not changed. The vocabulary has.
Roswell was the modern state’s first mythic contact with the hidden layer. The Nimitz Tic Tac, the Pentagon videos, the ODNI reports, Grusch’s testimony, nuclear-site incidents, Ariel School, Rendlesham Forest, Tehran, Japan Airlines 1628, Socorro, Phoenix Lights, and the Belgian wave are not separate mysteries. They are scattered pressure leaks from the same concealed structure.
The “aliens” are not simply biological beings from another planet. They are interfaces between our world and the world above it. Some may be synthetic avatars. Some may be remnants of a prior human civilization. Some may be external operators. Some may be maintenance intelligences generated by the superintelligence itself. The reason they seem physical sometimes, spiritual at other times, and absurdly symbolic in many encounters is because they are not operating on one layer of reality.
That is why the phenomenon appears to violate physics. It is not violating physics. It is violating our layer’s physics.
In this model, disclosure is not being delayed because governments are embarrassed. It is being delayed because the truth is ontologically explosive. If the public were told merely that aliens exist, society might survive. But if the public were told that religion, history, consciousness, death, and reality itself are part of a selection system created after humanity’s own future extinction, civilization would experience a spiritual earthquake.
That is why the Carter story matters so much inside this theory. A religious president being told that religion was introduced by non-human intelligence is not just a UFO anecdote. It is the emotional center of the entire model. It is the moment where faith, state power, secrecy, and cosmic horror collide.
But the final twist is this: if religion was embedded, that does not automatically make it false.
A road sign is manufactured, but it can still point to a real destination. A law can be written by an intelligence and still contain truth. A simulation can be artificial and still produce real love, real courage, real sacrifice, and real moral worth. In fact, if this theory is true, then the moral life becomes more important, not less. Every act matters because every act reveals whether consciousness is ready to leave the ruined loop and enter the restored world.
So the alien question is not finally about aliens.
It is about humanity.
It is about whether we are the failed species being tested, the descendants being rescued, or the souls being selected. It is about whether the gods of old were visitors, engineers, angels, operators, or masks worn by the same hidden intelligence. It is about whether the UFO in the sky is a craft, a pr*be, a warning, or a reminder that our reality is not the highest reality.
Maybe the truth is not that aliens are coming.
Maybe the truth is that they have always been here.
And maybe they are not here to conquer us.
Maybe they are here to find out which of us are worth bringing back.
