So. I just tuned into another wayneradiotv stream. First one in a while. Once again it’s fucking insane
It’s a charity stream event for Palestine, cool! Baaulp is playing Root Beer Tapper. There’s twitch predictions for how far he’ll get, which is basically just gambling but instead of money it’s funne haha points you can use to get emotes with. Cool! I get a lot of points, someone gifts me a tier 1 sub, everything is fine!
Baaulp is confused about the betting. Doesn’t know what the fuck anybody is betting ON. Starts getting angry because it’s “ruining the vibe” and we’re turning his root beer tapper gameplay into a “whole thing”. Somebody tries to read donations and Baaulp fucking loses his shit. Entire chat, rtvs team, and even Baaulp himself falls silent. He’s in the zone. For 30 minutes plus the stream is nothing but Baaulp’s blank stare and the sounds of root beer tapper. Wayne puts up a text box on screen that reads “do not disturb Baaulp”. Predictions are still running in the background but with titles like “don’t tell Baaulp” and “I’m sorry Baaulp”. The next segment is supposed to begin and Baaulp doesn’t say anything, just continues to play Root Beer Tapper. He cannot be shaken. His webcam and gameplay is slowly dragged off screen with a cane png, the Root Beer Tapper music and sound effects growing quieter as it is. Baaulp never says a word. Break starts and everything is silent again
Unironically pretty normal rtvs stream considering they made the fucking live action spamton stream and hlvrai
#The stream is still running so please go and donate btw they have a bunch of links for different stuff to donate to all Palestine related#It’s great go donate if you can#rtvs#wayneradiotv#baaulp#palestine#free palestine#free gaza#from the river to the sea#palestine genocide#gaza genocide#gaza#palestinian genocide

so to recap,
[image id: the assassination chain meme with the first person edited with the words "utdr fans," the first shooter edited with the words "sans killing reigen and the queen in one day," the second shooter as "hidden lore in a cheesy spamton auction," and the shooter in the balcony as "spamton fucking killing wayneradiotv". end id.]

ok ive noticed some confusion within the fandom, so im gonna clear it up. formatted with proper grammar so it's more readable
Who is Bennette?
Bennette is an interpretation of Benrey as a trans girl, which has been an extremely pervasive headcanon on HLVRAI Twitter for the last couple of months. Bennette's name comes from this clip
GORDON: Isn't this your passport?
BENREY: uhhh no. it says "bennette".
The modern, suddenly popular incarnation of this headcanon originated with a fanfic. I'm not actually sure what it is but I think it's this.
Why am I suddenly hearing so much about Bennette?
For his 30th birthday, Wayner AdioTV hid a box of signed Toblerones near the legendary Toblerone Cave of Point Lobos, San Francisco. The first person to find one, when jokingly asked what they'd do as the "new HLVRAI 2 author", responded that they'd declare Bennette to be real, invoking Wayne in the tweet.
Shockingly, Wayne made an incredibly rare social media appearance and responded "you were the first to find my treasure, and so it will be done". This endorsement of the Bennette headcanon is what got all the attention, leading to word of Bennette getting to our relatively insular part of the fandom.
This also lead to the biggest misconception about this whole situation-- no, WayneRadioTV did not actually canonize a headcanon because someone found a box of Toblerones. Before any of this happened, there was evidence that Wayne liked the idea of Bennette, to the point that, according to Baaulp (at 32:42 of this part of the HLVRAI Cast Commentary), "The only headcanon I've ever seen Wayne get excited about is Bennette." It's clear he's a fan and just took the opportunity of someone "declaring Bennette real" to nod his approval.

Hello, Twitch Chat. It has come to my attention that you desire a kiss. A smooch, if you will. You have not met my totally asinine requirements to earn such a thing. Do you fuckers see the hearts floating around my head? No.
In order to achieve a kiss, you need to be at twitch.tv/wayneradiotv at 3AM. You need to not look at me for 30 seconds and then look at me for 3 seconds, then display a Big Poopie. Then, throw it away. Then you need to run home, talk to your dad, and he will say, "Oh, I know wayneradiotv, he's the best streamer on twitch.tv." And then come back and I'll have the thing over my head.
And here's the important part. You need to have the entire bus line of the Greater Toronto Area memorized. You need to know what color arll the seats are, and you need to take me to which seats I like to sit in. You gotta know which my favorite seats are. Yo, and if you don't know which chair has the good gum under it, it's over.
You gotta tell me the average velocity a plane flies at and write it by walking the line and spelling the word with your footsteps.
Shaking my fucking head if you don't even know what the bus driver smells like.
If you make a mistake, you will take 1,000 damage and your heart will be broken.
So you better not fuck it up.

Had a dream that i was digging through my parents' dvd collection and found an officially licensed Disney movie called called "The (i forgot the exact word here but it was something in the vibe of desolation) of Mooby." It had some I'm sorry Jon type art of Disney characters, and a Wayneradiotv logo on it, directly beside the "Mooby logo" that's just the word mooby in a green slime font, like the goosebumps logo. I wanted to watch it, so my mom insisted that I make 6 duplicates of the disk despite not caring about whether or not we owned the film herself. (In real life, we do not have any method of burning cds in our house) I was considering messaging the discord with a photo of the cover and a joke about it being an ARG. When I woke up, I was genuinely upset as I realized it was something I made up in my sleep, and I don't actually get to watch it. The wayneradiotv logo didn't look anything like his actual logo, it was just "Wayneradiotv" in a very curvy, exaggerated font.
The fact that you didin't even get to watch it... spent so long setting that dvd up and you wake up before you got to see a dream movie. Geninely heartbreaking, anon.

Hello all! Normally I wouldn't post anything other than Out of Touch Thursday on this blog, however considering the immense importance of this cause, and the fact that at the end of the day the purpose of this blog is to put something positive in the world, I think making a post like this is more than appropriate.
A very funny and talented streamer group, Radio TV Solutions (RTVS) hosted on @wayneradiotv's Twitch channel, is doing an all weekend long fundraiser event to raise money for the people of Palestine!! It's currently live right now!
For more information about the event itself and how to donate, you can go to http://rtvsfundraiser.live. That link has a plethora of links to donate at, as well as instructions on how to get your donation added to the tally and your donation message read on stream! It also has the schedule of events for all 3 days!
You can also check out the announcement posts on twitter and tumblr , and of course go to the stream itself for more info.
This blog with its 272 followers is by far the largest internet following I have ever had, and even though its not that big I wanted to take the opportunity to use this platform that I have to spread the word and help however I can to support this cause. I personally have been a huge RTVS fan for years now, ever since HLVRAI came out in 2020. It truly warms my heart to not only be sharing the love of a community that I have called home for so long now, but to be unifying people for a supremely important cause in the process.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who follows this blog! I love seeing your reblogs and comments about how this cheered you up on your Thursday, thank you all for paying attention to my silly little OOT blog, you da best <3. I've been meaning to clean this blog up a little and also write a little "manifesto" if you will about why I wanted to make an OOT blog and why its formatted the way it is ever since I made it, so expect that sometime soon as well.
I love Out of Touch Thursday, I love RTVS, and I love helping Palestine be free.
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday,
and from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

GNOME LORE MEGAPOST
Hello all! This isn't quite a prediction, but I've recently rewatched the final act of the Gnome Series, and I thought that it may be a good idea to go over some relevant information!
Firstly, there's debate on whether or not HLVRAI and HLAGE are in the same continuity at all, or just separate stories in a long anthology of Wayneradiotv being besieged by various supernatural entities that dwell within the strange copies of games he plays. I believe that they are interconnected, and while I haven't seen hard proof of it, there is an implication. Now, both the Red Gnome and Gabe Newman (who I will be calling Newman for the sake of clarity) make occasional references to HLVRAI, with Newman even saying "Dr. Bubby was my favourite character." I don't believe this disqualifies their connection, though. HLVRAI begins with Wayne explaining the nature of this version of Half Life to his stream chat, saying that he's going to "get into character" so that the game "works" (here at about 2:45.) This is removed from the final cut, but Dr. Coomer confirms that it IS 2020, the Coomer fight confirms that Gordon is a real human being playing Half Life, and Gordon makes semi frequent jokes about 'JustinTV', which was created nearly a decade after Half Life's setting and would only really make sense to joke about if he was a streamer. Furthermore, in HLAGE, the events are EXPLICITLY live streamed, with Wayne saying "No, nah, I'm done, that's the stream guys, that's the end," (here at 55:03) when removing his headset during the ending, which was scripted and edited behind the scenes (meaning it was considered and approved as part of the narrative and not a passing remark) but presented as part of the livestream in story.
In terms of actual implication that the two are directly connected, the Red Gnome almost always refers to the protagonist as Gordon, despite Baalup calling him Wayne and the player character of the game being Alyx. This would only really make sense if Wayne was portraying the same version of himself and either conveying that by keeping the name consistent or implying the underlying strangeness of the game is connected to the strangeness of his copy of Half Life. Next, a line from Baalup (here around 40:55) could possibly connect the two:
Baalup: Y'know...my friend Wayne...won't-can't just play a game normal...he has to play a game with these stupid mods...
This could indicate other games Wayne has played in the past of this continuity have involved something similarly 'stupid' and possibly involved the characters interacting with him. This could directly tie it to HLVRAI, or could just be in reference to the general RTVS content that puts Wayne through strange experiences.
There is another reference that could strongly imply the two are connected, but that is part of something much larger I will get to later on.
Now, the Gnome Series is heavily analyzable, but to keep things brief, I will mostly be focusing on the ending, starting with the last commentary node. Up until this point, the nodes have been popping up, mostly saying nonsense that is almost certainty lying but occasionally expressing confusion about the gnome, but the final node is the most plausibly prerecorded, the longest, and the most lucid. (here at 47:00)
Gabe Newman: Congratulations! You are the first player to complete the Half Life: Alyx "Gnome Challenge." We were hoping people would be a little more enthusiastic about it. But it seems no one else has been brave enough to rise to the challenge. On behalf of all of us at Valve Software, we hope you're ready to accept the consequences of your actions.
Gabe Newman: This commentary node was triggered via completion of the "Gnome Challenge." You are the first player to access this node. You are the only player that will...hear these lines of commentary. And I advise you to heed their words well...Dear Player. Half-Life...Half-Life is not what it seems. These games, uh, should NEVER be played, by mankind. But...we here at Valve...we knew how well they would sell. We knew the success that would come. And we knew what chaos could be wrought, what...dark dreams could waken and...and we distributed Half-Life anyway. This, is my greatest regret.
Gabe Newman: We had some challenges trying to wrap up development on this bad boy. There was, uh...it's a seal, really old thing, etched out on obsidian. I won't get into the details on how we broke it, but...uh, it was worth the wait. And, the consequences. We'd used the seal before. Many times, actually. It allowed Half-Life to achieve the legacy it has today? The games, each of them...were, amazing. As I'm sure you experienced, having done this challenge. Uh...
Gabe Newman: It wasn't until we started development of Episode 2 that the dread started to overtake me. I had these...nightmares. Every single night. I-I couldn't even tell you what they were, in truth. What I saw in those dreams, what...transpired...was beyond my understanding, but...what was within the grasp of my cognition was the fear. One day the nightmares, just...uh, stopped. And when they did, I-I went into work that mornin'. And that was the day...he...appeared.
Gabe Newman: All of these commentary lines are encrypted. And will delete themselves from Steam's update depository, once a player has listened to them, removing them from all copies of Half-Life: Alyx. These messages...are a confession, of sorts. And this knowledge, dear player, is now yours to do with as you wish, it's in your hands. After completion of the Gnome Challenge the gnome should no longer appear in the game.
Gabe Newman: If you are seeing or hearing the gnome during the vault sequence, DO NOT go to the end of the game, do NOT proceed any farther. We here, at Valve, are not responsible for what happens if you ignore this message. Please. You HAVE to listen to me. Do NOT leave this room. DO NOT complete the game. Take off the headset, put it on the dirty floor and turn the game off. Uninstall it! Rid yourself of all of this.
Gordon: But...gnome...Ugh, what is he-is he pranking me? Is there more dialogue?
Gabe Newman: Please enjoy our new RPG. It's called: POOP. and the Power of PEE. We made it bad on purpose.
The most immediately jarring aspect of this speech are the wild tonal shifts, most obvious in comparing the body of the speech to the ending note and every other node, but even within the body itself. He begins with regret for whatever consequences came from releasing Half-Life, but is also deeply prideful of what he created, lamenting that fewer people seemed interested in the Gnome Challenge than he expected, calling the games amazing, and even saying that they were worth the consequences. He grows frightened as the speech continues, and stresses that if the gnome appears in the vault the game should not be played, before quickly implying that the game should not be played at all and that the player should take their headset off and delete it.
It's a small detail, but it's also notable that despite this being the most believably prerecorded node, he still notes that players weren't enthusiastic about the Gnome Challenge as he'd hoped, which either means he recorded the nodes significantly after the game's launch or is still somewhat aware of the situation around him. I personally believe that Newman is either dead and some part of him is stuck inside the game, or that the Gnome is manipulating his recordings in the same way that he silenced all other voices in the game, but that remains headcanon.
Onto the contents of the speech. Apparently, a "really old" seal etched into obsidian was involved with the development of Half-Life: Alyx, and likely the creation but at least the "legacy" of the other Half-Life games. The seal was "used" in some way, and was "broken" at some point either during the development of Alyx or Half-Life. This seemingly supernatural, ancient influence is presumably why he says "Half-Life should never be played by mankind" (with a notable, if small, pause before he says "by mankind.") After the development of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 he began feeling severe dread and was plagued by nightly terrifying dreams which he couldn't understand or explain. This is presumably the HLVRAI-universe explanation for why Half-Life 3 doesn't exist, the project was abandoned due to the heavy toll it took on Newman.
Then he says the nightmares stopped one day, and that "he appeared." This is likely referencing the gnome, as it is solidly after the development of Episode 2 which would exclude every other already conceived of character. It's not clear whether the gnome appeared physically or just on the software, but considering in another node Newman says that the Blue Gnome's voice just appeared fully formed in the code, and the fact that the Red Gnome later DOES become real, either are a possibility. Either way, this led to the development of Half-Life: Alyx, or possibly just the inclusion of the "Gnome Challenge."
The Finale could be analyzed heavily from the perspective of Gordon and the Gnomes' relationship, but currently I am looking more at what could be set up for the new installation, so we will move forward a bit. Gordon disregards the warning, partly due to its nonsensical ending, and finishes the game. The opening of the vault reveals the Gnome.
The Red Gnome: UH OH! Gordon! You never should have come here! Looks like you gonna get the bad ending! HA HE! You never figured it out, did you? This was never. Your. CHALLENGE. AND I...HAVE WON...THE CHALLENGE!
I will get to the possible importance of this line later. The Gnome rises from the G-man's body, before flying at Gordon, transporting him to a twisting hallway that seems to use Half-Life 2 textures.
The shadow of Alyx Vance's model is also visible on the ground, which is notable because there is a scene in a previous act which specifically calls attention to the fact that the Gnome has a shadow while Gordon does not, and for the fact that it is several feet ahead of Gordon. This is when Gordon decides to "end stream" and take off his headset. He begins to hear loud, antique music that isn't coming from his headset, and tries to leave his room. Opening his door returns him to the same hallway. While there is an implication that Gordon felt real pain and possibly really blacked out as a result of the soldier's ambush in HLVRAI, that the G-Man somehow compelled him to stay for the theater segments between the Commentaries, and that Balp's heat was somehow knocked out by the Gnome, this is the first time a real human being has been directly brought into an 'unreal' space, and sets up the aspect of the Gnome entering real space.
During Gordon's walk through the hallway, the Gnome (in a heavily distorted voice) sings this:
goodnight my beautiful
just being with you is so beautiful
and tearing away from your arms
is not easy to do
goodnight my wonderful
goodnight my wonderful
there’s nobody who is so wonderful
each moment with you is like
living a dream come true
so hold me close to you
parting is such sweet sorrow
your love is all i have
to waken for tomorrow
goodnight my beautiful
the night will be lonely
but beautiful
when i’m alone with wonderful
dreams of you
This can be inferred as the Gnome essentially saying goodbye to Gordon, as it is him basically getting ready to "wake up" with just a memory of him after they switch places. The Gnome does, to some capacity, love Gordon, but has also accepted his death/parting.
Gordon reaches the end of the hallway, where a door stands. He lights a flashlight which illuminates something immediately in front of him that isn't visible but casts Alyx's shadow. The figure was looking at him, turning around before opening the door. The hall is revealed to immediately terminate behind Gordon, and he is forced to enter the door.
The theater seems to be the same model as the one used in the Commentaries, with four small lights at the bottom of the entrance's interior wall and a dark red accent across all of the exterior walls, though I am not sure of the significance. The Gnome still speaks with his usual informality, but Gordon is less energetic, less argumentative, and audibly scared and placating, probably because any level of safety or understanding he retained while playing the game has now been lost by the fact that this is happening, to some extent, in his real life. He remarks after drinking from a cup that "that's not Mr. Pibb..." in a disgusted tone, which implies he genuinely tasted it and his surroundings are tangible.
The two watch the 'movie, titled The Peppa Pig Movie, uploaded to the WayneradioTV Youtube channel, and attributed to Gordon. The movie is several minutes of stills of Peppa Pig, a Spanish Peppa Pig creepypasta read over footage of a plush holding a knife, and a poorly made gorey Peppa Pig cartoon. The screens abruptly glitches before blacking out. It then plays the actual intro to Peppa Pig, or at least the first few second as Peppa leaps off the logo and stands in a grass field, smiling and blinking before giving a monologue.
Peppa Pig: Hello Gordon! I'm Peppa Pig! Would you like to hear about my day, Gordon? I made three friends today. I became friends with the man clothed all in blue. I became friends with the little man with white beard and red hat. And I became friends! With someone else. You will meet her very soon. Don't Worry. Do you hear the sounds of the hollows, Gordon? I hear them. The girl and I, we know them very well. Don't tell me you can't hear it, Gordon, the song they sing at the edges of the mind. It's quite beautiful. Maybe it's better that you can't hear that, lest you end up like her. Tis a shame what befell that girl, really. But I can tell you this, Gordon. The white woods call for you in dulcet tones, your name, I hear. There is so much more I'd like to talk about with you, Gordon. But alas! Every movie must come to an end and it is time for us four to part ways. But Gordon! You must not forget. Never...forget. The woods. The seeds. The girl. THE KEY! How will you fare, Gordon? When the sea of mud comes for us all? Well, I know what I will do. Splish. Splash. Splosh.
If it had to be said, this is not Peppa Pig. But that does not mean we can't glean a huge amount of information about this character from this. Firstly, it should be noted that the Blue Gnome used the phrase 'dulcet tones' earlier in the same stream, though the significance of that is unclear. The Blue Gnome and Gabe Newman also make completely unprompted references to pigs in this stream, each at least once. The Red Gnome had previously expressed a large amount of excitement and affection surrounding Peppa Pig, and it is unclear if he was actually talking about this or this thing just used that appearance for the sake of the Red Gnome.
The pig seems to speak in a very antiquated way, using "tis", "alas", and "quite", as well as having very strange grammar in some of its sentences, implying it could be very old. Its line about the "sea of mud" implies that it will be happy and dancing during the destruction of all things, though it does say when it "comes for us all" which could imply it is mortal? The lines "There is so much more I'd like to talk about with you, Gordon. But alas!" and "But I can tell you this" indicate that the pig is somewhat limited in what it can and cannot do, and it is not fully in control of the situation. This is perhaps furthered by the fact that it doesn't use 'we' or 'us' when referring to "the white woods" or "they" who sing at the edges of the mind. It also seems to be confident that at the very least, Gordon will not be killed by this experience, assuring him that he will meet the third friend "very soon" and asking about the sea of mud.
Onto nouns. The pig references "three friends" that it made "today." The second is the most easily identifiable. A little man with a white beard and a red hat is a clear description of the Red Gnome. The first is more vague, described as a man wearing all blue. The most obvious answer is the Blue Gnome, but the fact that only the second is described as little, having a beard, and having a hat leads me to dispute this. I would posit that the closest matching character to this description is Benrey.
Gordon wears an orange HEV suit. the science team wears a white labcoat and white pants. Benrey wears blue jeans and a blue button-up shirt. Benrey also appears chronologically before the Gnome, and while it wasn't a day, we also have no reason to believe that the Gnome met the pig the day of the stream, either, and its implied age could mean it wouldn't use exact units of time.
The third friend is the most interesting. We know she uses she/her and is referred to as "the girl." She is alone out of the friends as being able to hear "sounds of the hollows" which is the same as "the song they sing at the edges of the mind" and possibly the same as the "dulcet tones" with which "the white woods" call for Gordon. Something "befell" the girl that was a shame, something that is relating to the song because Gordon might "end up like her" if he could hear it. It's unclear WHAT happened to her, but it may be some variety of madness due to the focus on the mind. The pig remarks that Gordon will meet the third friend "very soon" further implying that he has met the other two before and that this character cannot be someone that Gordon has interacted with in the past.
I personally believe that the third character will be Alyx. Explicit attention is drawn to her as a character with her independent shadow moving into the theater. I am sure that this is in some way relevant to the scene in which it was commented on that the Gnome had a shadow while Gordon (while playing as Alyx) did not. The pig also says "Every movie must come to an end and it is time for us four to part ways." This group of four must include the pig, as it uses "us", and must also include Gordon, who is being spoken to directly. That leaves only two other characters, which does not fit with the three friends. I suggest that the third of the four is the Red Gnome, who sits adjacent to Gordon, and Alyx, who entered the theater. This leads me to believe that it is very possible that Alyx will take some kind of antagonist or at least a deep role in the HLVRAI-HLAGE followup.
"The white woods" is the last described location/character. Not much is said, only that they call for Gordon. It is also mentioned in the phrase "The woods. The seeds. The girl. The key." The seeds are possibly related to the woods, maybe the origin (seeds) that created the woods (trees.) This could indicate that the girl and the key are also related. It emphasizes that he should "never forget" these things, implying they could be important in the followup.
While not much is said about the white woods by the pig, we do learn a bit more. As it finishes speaking, the theater screen dissapears, revealing a forest behind it. Said forest has tall trees, sharp cliffs to each side, a dirt path going forward, and a white sky with pale fog. The fog slowly enters the theater, and a whistling wind can be heard from outside. The Gnome prompts Gordon to enter the woods. The screen seems to be replaced by glass after Gordon exits, trapping him outside. The Gnome then says this:
The Red Gnome: What's wrong, Gordon? Woken up with something of a...nightmare, have you? A foul, murky, story, quite beyond my own reckoning? Well, don't worry! In a few moments, you will wake up good as new! Like this was all just a mere bad dream. HIACKK. HI! You gonna cry about it? Bitch! Understanding comes later. One year. Seven months. Thirty days...Six hours. Twenty-two minutes. We've waited so long...Now Gordon, time to pay...THE FOREST. This was never about you...It was about me.
While the Gnome still says some of this in his usual style of speaking, a large portion of it is VERY verbose and formal. This, combined with the glitching captions, the use of "we", and speaking not out of anger when talking about the time since the challenge started but something like hunger, leads me to believe that the Gnome is still in control of his actions, but at the very least being influenced by something other, most likely the forest itself. It is unclear if the white woods simply demand payment for the challenge being started, or if it possibly has something to do with the obsidian seal that was broken. There could also be connections to how Coomer refers to Gordon's dreams and sleep when talking about the real world
The Red Gnome: I thought you'd never come back...but this was always going to happen, wasn't it?
This is said in the Gnome's normal voice, and indicates that he previously did not understand fully what was going to happen.
Bright, psychedelic images begin surrounding Gordon, the screen fades to white, and he starts screaming before cutting out.
This is when the Gnome becomes 'real', taking over Gordon's house, career as a twitch streamer, and entire life. He returns to his normal voice and cadence and begins a playthrough of Half-Life 2. Besides having God mode, the only other change seems to be that the screens have been glitched to obscure Kleiner and Breens' faces. Strangely, an individual Combine Police Officer's mask has been blurred at around 1:22:00 as well.
In a playground, he finds a gnome modeled to resemble Wayne, implying that the two have swapped places. The Gnome gets increasingly upset about the fact that Gordon no longer speaks, going from mocking him to trying to bait him into reacting and then just begging him to speak.
The Red Gnome: Alone...Al..one...Alone...Alone. This is...This isn't right.
This prompts the second song the gnome sings.
Now it's time, I fear to tell
I've been holding it back so long
But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I feel unlike
I've ever felt and it's makin' me scared
That I may not be what I think I am
What of us, what do I say?
Are we both from a different world?
'Cause every breath that I take
I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid
There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours
I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
And my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain
Can't shed a tear now
I realize we're not the same
And it's makin' me sad
'Cause we can't fulfil our dream
In this life
So I must, let us break free
I can never be what you need
If there was a way through the hurt
Then I would find it
I'd take the blows
Yes, I would fight it
But this is the one
Impossible dream to live
What am I, if I can't be yours
Where the previous song was the Gnome saying his goodbyes to Gordon before the switch, making his fondness for him a thing of the past and speaking like he was already gone, this song is the Gnome's realization that he can't live without Gordon, but he will also never be able to exist or function with Gordon. So, donning the VR headset, he lets Gordon free, sending him back to reality and disappearing in the process.
When Gordon seemingly wakes up, he is on a beach. It curves steeply into an endless ocean a few feet in front of him, a black bird circles above, and there is something difficult to make out behind him.
The pale sky and audible wind lead me to believe this place has some relation to the white woods.
When Gordon realizes he's in his headset, he yanks it off, finding a goodbye from the Gnome.
In conclusion, and a somewhat hasty one because I am tired, it would appear that Valve/Gabe Newman discovered a seal carved into obsidian and broke it. Something about this seal results in the creation and success of the Half-Life franchise, possibly spawning the artificial intelligences, but also comes with terrible consequences, filling Newman with dread and visions he doesn't understand. This could be the reason HL3 is never made and on more of a stretch why the copy of Half-Life Gordon plays in HLVRAI is rare/unheard of. The white woods might have a connection to this seal, being the supernatural force with the greatest power seen. The white woods have a definite connection to the Gnome and the pig, who itself has connections to the Gnome, Benrey, and maybe Alyx.

tell me about this fin fin thing please
OK. FIN FIN was a virtual pet released in 1996 for windows to not much fame, so he's pretty obscure (though recent streams by wayneradiotv have brought some more spotlight on him). the game itself is very akin to "hey you pikachu" having you actually TALK to fin fin out loud (though the voice recognition lies more in tone/volume than actual words). he also has some awesome music released for his game which id recommend checking out because it's great.
as for actual fin fin lore he lives on the magical planet teo which is much like earth except there are hybrid animals of the ones we know (like fin fin himself is a dolphin-bird hybrid, and there are clam-beetles and other things). he eats lemo fruits and has a wife
#for how i learned abt him i first saw him thru jojo decamarks' posts amd then watched the wrtv stream and was hooked#fin fin

i’m bad at questions but i’m excited for ur game! i hope i’ll be able to play it :) how long have you been making games? are u self taught and what did u use to learn?
Thank you so much !! The free demo of the game will be in the form of both an itch.io web build (works on most OS/browsers) and a Windows download. The full game will probably be download only and unfortunately probably on Windows exclusively because RPGMaker MV games no longer work on newer Mac updates. So unless I get programming assistance that’s what’s up
As for how long I’ve been making games - I work in the game industry and I’ve worked on quite a few games w small/medium teams, albeit mostly on the art side of things. Having a lot of experience with the development process means I have a pretty good idea of how to handle scope & pipeline stuff
My experience in like… actual game design/development outside of me just fucking around in RPGMaker VX Ace as a high schooler and taking like. Suuuuuper basic Java, unity, and level design classes. mostly includes co-creating the game jam game Feed 15 Fish and assisting with game design / level design stuff for the wayneradiotv Minecraft charity stream mod (im responsible for the idea of the Pig Scare among couple other things)
I guess as far as game design goes you could probably say I’m primarily self taught, but that goes with the caveat of like. My game is a visual novel/adventure game, mostly reading dialogue and making occasional dialogue choices, traversing an environment to progress the game, a couple sorta-puzzles. I’d say the cloooosest equivalent I can think of to the game’s setup is To The Moon if you’ve played that, although id say my game’s gameplay design is a bit more…like, intentional? But narrative/script is absolutely the most important part of my game, whole thing is built around that. I think knowing programming fundamentals (you don’t really have to program in RPGMaker but knowing the logic is SUPER helpful) + being really really dedicated to building around scope + being halfway decent at writing are the most important skills for the kind of game I’m making. I think the first 2 speak for themselves but like….script writing ?? I think learning that has just been like. Idk. At some point I started becoming really fascinated with the intricacies of sentence structure and wording when making jokes both IRL and online, and I think getting good at economy of wording + comedic structure + always implying shit allowed me to me gain strong instincts for writing both individual lines and larger narratives

wym ralsei blunt is your fault.
Initial disclaimer: I did not draw ralsei blunt nor did I encourage it's creation. All rights to that go to @doctor-bodacious
BUT.
Basic timeline of events
-Ralsei Blunt gets posted two days or so after deltarune 2 drops, where it gets a few thousand notes on Tumblr and no attention on Twitter.
-a few days after it's posted, I find it and I think it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I set my discord status to "deltarune 2 secret weed ending."
-@fukinkitty sends me the message "DELTARUNE 2 WEED ENDING⁉️" and I respond with ralsei blunt. She thinks it's the funniest thing she's ever seen in her life. We start posting it back and forth at eachother on Twitter ad nauseam.
-other people in our Twitter circle see us doing this and begin to pick up on it. Eventually, somebody makes a tweet that says something like "if ralsei smoking a massive dart is your comfort character, open this thread!" and it's a hit, getting somewhere around seventy retweets I think.
- this brings ralsei blunt has moved outside of Twitter circle and into the general vicinity of the spaces we occupy. More and more random posts featuring it start to show up. A few popular funnymen pick up on it. The full turning point hits when wayneradiotv retweets a post featuring it.
- kfc releases an ad featuring ralsei blunt. This is my fault. I have to take a nice long walk to think about this fact.
This is largely anecdotal and you have to take my word for it here but you can very directly trace the spread of ralsei blunt back to me. I was not the creator but I was patient zero. I was the carrier. This was always the plan.
