the furniture was very furniturey and all over the place. you will be scared for approximately 30 minutes.

"fuck" clark said "fuck wow

then evil mary from the end of the movie does a really cool skate trick, 360 180 kickflip out of the backrooms and onto ivan beck's head.

ivan beck: " this is cool skateboard trick is what the backrooms is all about"

evil mary: "you fucking dipshit fuck you"

freddy kroger shoes up and fights captain clark but he wins because hes got big claws.

freddy kroger: "WELCOME TO THE BACKROMs"

the end...‽

I've seen a lot of questions recently about oxygen in the complex, so I made an infographic to clear the air.

First, to establish that there is in fact airflow through the complex:

A fly follows Mary all the way from the parking lot into the backrooms, induced by the gently drifting scent of a decaying severed hand from the cross-breeze, clued by the windchimes in Clark's basement and multiple flies that buzz around the severed hand by the stop sign. The windchimes were not there until Mary arrived, implying Clark figured out that there's airflow and he put them up intentionally next to the entrance so he could tell when there was a cross-breeze.

Air flows through the complex, but not in all locations. There is a fan next to Clark's mural, implying that Clark unplugged the caveman to plug in a fan because his paint wasn't drying, so no airflow in the mural room. Therefore it may be possible to wait for a cross-breeze and then follow it to find other entrances. See the infographic for more information.

Do you guys know if there's any spaced repetition algorithm that specifically is optimized for very instant recognition? For example, Anki would not work to learn to hear Morse code. This is because for example at 20 words per minute you only have a 0.18 second gap between characters. So if it takes you more than 0.18 seconds to recognize the character, you're out of luck because the next character has already started playing you wind up with cascading failures and the message is lost. The speed required would make self-grading impossible, meaning you would need an automated grading method (which is definitely possible but would be difficult to implement in Anki). Also there is a higher chance of failure in general even for characters that are well-known, and so the penalty for failure may be too steep in traditional algorithms. The algorithm may also accidentally give the wrong cards low grades, ie: you missed hearing characters you would normally know well because a character you don't know well made you lag behind. The time scale would need to be quicker, seeing the card after 24 hours the first time you get it right would not work for Morse code.

I have been using LCWO.net to learn Morse code which works pretty well but has a few obvious weaknesses:

- It repeats characters near each other too often, if a character is repeated soon after another it makes it too easy to recognize.

- It does not prioritize letters that you miss. So if you're practicing 30 characters you only hear the ones you're trying to learn a few times since the characters are weighted evenly.

- a 90% grade on a lesson allows you to move on to the next, but because the distribution is uniformly random you could be lucky and get one that's easy and move on when you're not actually ready

I feel like something that would solve this problem could potentially work great for learning foreign characters too like Kanji. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts related to this, or areas in general you think that Anki might be weak.

Note: Algorithms/ideas are welcome, ie: doesn't have to be done in anki

They only appear when the camera is far away, I think it has something to do with overlapping UVs because I'm using overlapping UVs to mirror the texture (ie: the texture image itself only has half a face, and so on), and I think the lines are appearing because that is where those parts of the UV maps meet. Is there a way to bypass this using a material trick or do I bite the bullet and remap my UV and retexture my model? It also doesn't do this for the same android version of my model where I retopo'ed and remapped the UVs. It didn't have the lines like this in Blender.

Edit: Actually I don't think it's much of a problem, on PC I tried spawning a camera and then looking at the selfie from far away and no lines appeared. It only does it in the Unity Editor and when you look in a mirror. I am still curious if anyone knows anything about this issue though.

everyone thinks that still life = mutant or weird proportions and it gets under my skin. your brain is not big enough to understand the LORE, the SUBTLE CLUES, and the SCIENTIFICALLY INSPIRED WORLDBUILDING. i bet you've only seen the movie. i and I ALONE am the only one who understands kane pasron's backrooms and it makes me feel ISOLATED and ALONE and FORLORN and stuff

on a completely unrelated note, do u guys like my family guy still life fan art

he was doing the famous "surfin bird dance" by The Trashmen (1963) when he got scanned

Edit: Solved. I ended up starting the project from scratch, then I followed the instructions from this video and it works fine now.

When I uploaded my avatar, in the avatar preview I can only see a green wireframe box. In the actual world it shows nothing except for the little sphere for the view camera. Does anyone know how to fix this? I didn't get any errors or anything.

Why is nobody talking about this??????? https://youtu.be/ewZx0bnBb30?t=325

- The team finds three instances of the same sign that are just scaled up, ie: first sign is big, second sign medium, third sign small.
- The team determines that the signs are separate instances of the same exact sign, just at different scales. They determine this because imperfections on the signs also scaled.
- One of the team members infers from the pattern that there may be a fourth sign inside of the wall.
- One of the team members retrieves a saw and creates a hole in the wall.
- They find the fourth sign, and it's VERY small.
- There is also a cobweb in the wall, a normal sized cobweb.
- How did the spider get INSIDE of the wall? Likely, the same thing happened to the spider as what happened to the sign. Maybe the spider was even crawling on the sign when the scan happened.
- We can infer that if the same thing happened to the spider, then there must be giant spiders, much like how the signs changed size in a straight path.

>!There is a new and spreading theory that the Backrooms is a sentient MRI machine that scans both physical objects and your thoughts (correction: Kane has said Backrooms does not scan your thoughts). I went through the backrooms videos again to see how many comparisons to MRI machines I could find, and found that I could explain a lot of the weird stuff.!<

>!Many of the unexplainable features in the backrooms are due to real-world types of MRI glitches, called "artifacts". I went through and researched some of these artifacts and found many of them line up with stuff that seems off. See the image for further details. Edit: one last thing I forgot to mention that I think is important; the moment before Marvin falls in Pitfalls, you can see an electromagnetic disturbance on the camera, and the floor with the grid line artifacts changes VERY slightly. This is the moment the scan happens, and it's the reason why Marvin, a grown man with an advanced education, fell through the pit.!<

Hi, thought that CW nerds out there would appreciate this art I 3D modeled in Blender. This is a sideswiper/cootie key called the JH Bunnell Double Speed Key (Style W, the 2nd run). I own this key in real life and thought it would be fun to make it in Blender. I got it from a silent key who was a lead engineer who worked on the first international telephone cable system, TAT-1, it was laid between Kerrera, Oban, Scotland, and Clarenville, Newfoundland. He was responsible for overseeing the laying of the underwater cables and setting up the boxes on either side of the cables. TAT-1 could handle 35 phone calls, and it had one more channel that could handle 22 telegraph lines.

Take for example, the throne that looks like a chair. It seems to indicate the longer that something's been in the backrooms, the more oversimplified its form becomes. Maybe the same thing happens to Still Lifes. "This person existed a long time ago, they're more primitive than we are today...", a vague description of someone forgotten, you know what I mean? And maybe that's why Async has a room FILLED with cavemen cardboard cutouts; maybe the backrooms were filled with these things at some point and they started collecting them, eventually repurposing them as traps after they figured out that they're harmless.

I'd be interested to hear thoughts on this.

Edit: one more related thought, maybe all the rooms were real rooms at one point (or mirror rooms I guess), but they all got oversimplified into plain yellow wallpaper rooms.
