Vidya Conspiracy/Headcanon thread

Mechanical convenience =/= Canon
People in games don't actually shout the same 2 or 5 lines over and over.

Warframes have sentience and the tenno are just void batteries for them.

The fennekin line is exclusively female

...

The events in Spec Ops: The Line are all in purgatory except for the first sequence in the helicopter. Walker never actually survived the crash and is hallucinating the entire time. Even in the beginning of the game, where you see Konrad's face everywhere on advertising despite him being some unknown American soldier.

Huey is Deep Throat.

I don't understand the hate for that theory and MatPat in general. He makes great points and his Sans is Ness video actually makes a lot of sense. Have you even played either game?

Nice b8

...

But really, the reason MatPat gets so much shit is because his newer videos are complete fucking ill-researched, cringy, easily debunkable garbage. His older stuff like his TBoI Rebirth theory, multiple Marios/Jumpman from Donkey Kong's first game being Mario's father, etc. is pretty good though. His shitty jokes and puns and channel/YT Red series plugs/advertisements still make me want to fucking die though.

You know how I know you're pulling some bullshit

That's not even a fucking headcanon anymore, at this point it's all but said outright.
I liked the game initially but now I hate what it's become, between the dlc kikery, every new boss becoming a new exercise in terrible design, and all the mystery of the story being drained away by an insistence to explain what's really going on.

The only reason I said it was headcanon was because every other fucking person and their mother has been saying that the gameplay is only Isaac's imagination/fantasies/death hallucinations from suffocating to death.

I hated that theory because it made all of your gameplay kind of fucking pointless in the end besides just seeing all of the "endings".\

I think my theory makes more sense when you look at how almost every item mutates/injures Isaac in some way, but making him more powerful, due to some metaphorical shit or something.

...

Fucking kek

fuck, i meant dependant

Another conspiracy I thought of.
IRL Squid and Octopus evolution may be fast as fuck, but they wouldn't just turn into humans that look almost exactly like humans but with some squiddy features.

Dark Souls 2 does not take place in the same world as 1 or 3, but is instead a mirror world residing in the reflection of the lake, with all the inconsistencies caused by the ripples in the surface disrupting its reflection. Proof of this is the fact that we know worlds can exist inside objects (painted world) and the use of mirrors, reflections, and reflected entities for both the intro and one of the major bosses and areas.

The fennekin line is exclusively male

fuck off

so, why exactly haven't you killed yourself yet?

were it so easy

I've always preferred this explanation over Drangleic being half-original country, half-Lordran

...

...

damn

****
This is what I thought before Shadow the Hedgehog

woah mama

Nice digits.

...

Doesn't change you actually replied like a retard.

Doesn't change the fact you're a retard either.

...

Least I got something out of it.

Shinki is literally Satan. Therefore, Alice is the Anti-Christ.

I hate that "the Jews" became some actual organization in the mind of conspiracy-minded people.
They're just fucking kikes and they act like it.

There's only little sisters in bioshock because the sea slug goes into the uterus

grate thred OP

This makes too much sense. Bravo Levine.

I wanna fuck that cat.

The entire Metal Gear Solid series is actually a simulation after the original Metal Gear, that's why the writing is so cartoonishly bad, each game retcons major plot points and holds no continuity even though it claims so, each game is a direct copy of the original barely ever building upon the last one, always having Big Boss or Snake be the protagonist, always having an anarchist or fascist as the villain, and each game has fourth wall breaks.
Metal Gear was the only true game, and the events that took place were Snake is just some run of a mill government agent who killed Big Boss, the actual Big Boss, who was never his father, and the entire event became so popular and idolized to the military they make constant VR simulations to train soldiers in stealth.

Just kidding, the real conspiracy is that Kojima makes constant excuses for his shit hole of a series.

The truth is…The humans in game are A.I. constructs who merely adopted human history after eradicating the original biological humans. Why would people willing search the galaxy when we could send out A.I. bots to scan the galaxy for us and be more efficient? Because we the players are the A.I.

...

I dislike him because he steals other peoples theories, and is the greediest motherfucker i've ever seen. From paid advertisements, to youtube red, to that other youtube paid service, the dude never stops trying to get as much money out of his viewers as humanly possible.

Isn't there human skeletons on maps or something like that ?

Luigi isn't a coward though…

A docking computer and sentient AI are two entirely different things.

splatoon is a continuation of the red alert franchise where the soviet giant squid program went awry after the japanese faction showed up in the third game and the squids started watching anime while they returned to the deep ocean never to be disturbed again.
some of them decided to evolve into lolis and shotas by tampering with yuris cloning vats and they moved onto the land to 'live the dream'. they held on to some of the technology from those wars and theyre just finally starting to reverse engineer it. thats how octarians have all these floating platforms ufos and mind control music while some of the sonic based weaponry used to combat tiberium also made a comeback. octavio is one of the leading scientists in trying to understand this ancient technology and he tries to use it to conquer the world because he hates anime.
salmonid eggs exibit similar properties to tiberium and thats why their eggs can be used to upgrade weapons and why their ink is a sickly green and they look retarded.

oh also grizzco got all the old special weapons banned because he wanted the killer wail gone so that it wouldnt damage the eggs or dent the salmonid population too much.

What is it called when a writer specifically lies about the world in which their story takes place? Every fantasy game series that regularly retcons stuff is an example of that.

What? Do you mean like some voice during the introduction or do you mean NPCs

I completely understand every bit of hate matpat gets, but his wonky theories are the least of his problems.

I think you meant unreliable narrator.

Yeah, that's it. If a game outright alters stuff from previous games, then it is an example of unreliable narration.

PRAISE KEK

Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong isn't Cranky Kong but Donkey Kong.
In a world where Baby Mario, Metal Mario & Super Mario can exist at the same time on a racetrack, it's plausible that D.K. is the original. He has a Cranky dad who references a time when he was a hero that may never have existed. D.K. also has an illegitimate son he only has visitation rights of which explains why he was last seen with him in Mario Tennis. D.K. has Diddy as a sidekick because he feels guilty about losing his son. Candy used to be D.K's girlfriend before she got Coconut Chlamydia from Chunky and D.K. dumped that banana-swallowing bitch fast. Also his coconut gun can fire in spurts and if he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt.

Where does lanky kong fit in

No, that's a retcon.
Unreliable narrator is things like Spider and the Web, Metal Gear, or Spec Ops: The line -
Ruseman feeding you false information as you

a cherry on top of this shit thread

PRAISE KEK

MMOs and other grindy games are a chinese plot to keep the population docile and unproductive.

I think I love you user, this whole post will be my headcanon from now on.

You don't remember the hilarious levels of salt when a dev actually told him flat out he was completely incorrect?

And user relates that to the concept of the unreliable narrator, positing that retcons and internal inconsistencies pose falsehoods in the way a setting or story is being presented to you in the same way that a more traditional unreliable narrator does.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Those ugly little nigger-nosed goblins ruined the game.

Wasn't that dev Scott Cawthon, the guy behind FNAF?

Yep. FNAF guy told him he was incorrect and they guy flipped right the fuck out.

Consider the following: Next time you make a post like "How is [x] [y]? If [x] is [z], then [x] is [y]," ("how is Game Theory shit, assuming that the reason it wouldn't be shit is for these conjectural points I raise?") note that you've already answered your own question and that you really might as well just delete your post.

Yukari is an ancient space monster that possessed Maribels body.
Also, YukariXNyarlathotep OTP

All he had to do was delete the (you) and he could've ended up not looking like a ledditor

Jews look organized from the outside, but if closely inspected, they are just acting on their own and create the illusion of organization.

...

Yukari is Yog-Sothoth

How could Yukari have possessed a girl's body when she was around from Gensokyo's founding in like the 10th century or whatever and Maribel is from the modern world?

she's from the future even.
also, time travel.

Who hasn't capped their own post and removed the (you) once or twice?

I'm already a better ideasguy than "I like to feel stupid" Levine

Vidya might not be art anymore…
It might be a political platform of pure shit

Got any screens?

From what I've seen the lore implies no A.I.s are allowed. There's also the various limpets that preform a variety of tasks for you autonomously.

Why should he?
He got a bunch of replies
It's you and the other guys' fault for replying.

The video has a bunch of dislikes and cucks in the comment section

I wish whoever is controlling me would install some fucking porn mods already

It's a multiplayer game, there are no porn mods.
You can either be born with the ability to woo any woman like your casanova, or rape and get sent to prison to be fucked in the ass.

Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.
FUG

Watatsuki no Toyohime has the same powers as Yukari, only better, and she's not an eldritch horror. How do you explain that?

Yeah he admitted to doing shit just for the views. He also pads out his videos just to go "well I don't want this video to run on too long. See ya next week"

...

More like the Demiurge.

...

Shadow the Hedgehog's explanation fucking sucks even if the entire game I'm pretty sure is a massive lampoon of edgy preteen shit that takes itself way too seriously. "Because aliens" is a horrible explanation for a 300-IQ genius who was piddling about with biotechnology to look for a cure to not-AIDS. I'm pretty sure that mural of Super Sonic was supposed to be why Shadow looks the way he does the whole time seeing as his design is evocative of Super Sonic.

Though I remember a theory being kicked about once that Shadow is indeed the Ultimate Lifeform by virtue of biological immortality but he himself was just a prototype for Sonic, having the reflexes to keep up with super-speed but not actually having that movement on his own and necessitating rocket-shoes. Then poke about with another hedgehog and focus on the speed that time and the end-result is Sonic.

...

Don't you know that anything not explicitly explained is a Lovecraft reference now?

Ow the Edge doesn't have anything that goes against that theory

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY

A GAME THEORY XD

MG, MG2 and Ghost Babel are the only sensible continuity to spring from Metal Gear.

The game doesn't contradict that theory. Sonic Battle basically lives with the assumption that Gerald loved running around Echidna ruins.

I just watched MatPat's W D Gaster videos, and he spends a lot of time talking about his Sans and Pope things at the beginning.

1.) THe Sans thing was never meant to be serious, just a throught experiment

2.) People gave the Pope a bunch of other stupid shit too. Pope gifts are symbolic. He thought a game about mercy would be a good video game-related present for the Pope.

To be honest Mattpatt isn't really that bad asides being cringy. It's obvious that he doesn't really believe half the shit he spews.

The true problem with him is that he doesn't do actual theory-crafting for games that actually deserve that, instead focusing at vidya that doesn't really need that, therefore there is not much to watch him for.

Also, he is incredibly fucking narcissistic but the content he produces could be far worse.

I thought some stupid shit when I was 4 years old. In my defense, I was 4 years old. Goddamn, though.

I looked at a couple of his videos, but lost interest very quickly because his evidence, when he bothers to provide any, is almost always dodgy at best. His calculations about the mass of the moon in Majora's Mask were so flawed that I almost threw up.
His channel might actually be interesting if he was properly autistic.

HEY LOUIS REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME I WENT INTO THAT MOUNTAIN AND MEET SANS UNDERTALE? FRIGGIN SWEET LOUIS

Still doesn't excuse him from giving him a retarded present.

...

I always thought he got embarrassed or shy and ran away when they touched him.

Akechi didn't die in persona 5 he lost his memories the real Igor found him turned him into a cat and sent him back in time to guide the main character

HE IS BASCH
