Part 2 of a look at the new Genloss teaser except this part is just about the game on generationloss.tv

U start as this guy in a room he doesn't recongize, with a door that goes no where. Walking up to the static filled TV changes the scene to somewhere outside in a city.

You encounter two Friends

One who says "you know you can't be out here like this", which goes along with my theory that the character Ranboo plays might be a former Showfall Media employee who went into hiding after learning too much.

And the other says "you have to be careful around here", which is a bit vaguer, might imply this is a generally shady part of town.

I think there's a chance these might be the characters Charlie and Sneeg play. Though, admittedly the only real proof of that is the fact one of them is wearing green and the other blue. And we know they're also somehow involved in The Show.

The next screen is the most intresting. You run into a stranger who tells you to go check out the dumpster after it makes a weird clinking sound

This character, unlike everyone else, has a red censor over his face instead of black. Which is probably relevant somehow.

Anyways, you move the dumpster, and this appears

Some kinda. Pulsing red blob. Maybe a portal? Maybe this is the infinity we've been told to look into?

Staring into it leads you to some sort of glitchy run down and red-hue'd version of the world. And each character says something in binary when talked to.

I kinda want to say this is what role each of them will play, but I'm not sure I'm convinced of that as I think the Stranger might actually be a Showfall Media guy. But we'll get back to that in a second.

Next, you go stand on that button, and the glitchy screen transition that has been there for each major scene change ends with the old TV 'click' animation. Followed by this text

"You don't know what this is..."

I believe this "you" is referring to the audience (aka, us :D) once more, and how they don't understand the full reality and consequences of The Show.

Now. I think the normal half of the city part might be a replay of whatever lead to His disappearance (His/He/Him being Ranboos character for future reference, because im still on the fence about him being The Hero)

As we start with two friends warning him, followed by a stranger leading him to something strange that seems to link him to another world, something which seems to align with some of the phrasing in the Keynote video, which talked about connecting to a new frontier and said "this world" instead of like, "our world" or "the world".

And this might be what led to Him truly going missing (if I was right about the missing posters from Showfall Media being to help catch Him, not find Him.)

Which is why I'm not sure if the titles for each character is accurate. Because a character that led Him to being taken to another world isn't a Savior in any typical context.

Along with if I'm right about the green-shirted friend who warns Him that it's not safe to be out here being Charlie's character, why would that character be The Villain.

Blue-shirt who could be Sneeg being The Taken makes sense though. As the pictures of him and Charlie appeared in the Keynote with the words "Found them!" On screen, which could mean they were. You know. Taken.

Though perhaps. Stranger might be a Savior... to Showfall Media, and green-shirted friend could be a Villain to them.

And also the reason I don't know if He/Ranboos character is the Hero, is because he's the one we see being chained and electrocuted or something in the video with the description "Help Him - H". H could possibly mean "Hero".

And also I'm fairly certain ooc Ranboos vaguely implied the protagonist we follow might not be him.

Okay that's all I got rn. If anyone else wants to chime in with their own ideas, go crazy.

Alrighty, time for a slightly more indepth look at the new Genloss teaser and the little game that came with it.

Pt 1 (cuz im too lazy to go to my computer so I can add more than 10 images)

Pt 2 here

The video is called "The Hero", a term first heard in the Showfall Media Keynote video from May 3rd.

The description has binary text which translates to: "Help him - H"

The video starts out flipping between the Genloss character Ranboo plays with the face censored and a video game version of him.

The 2nd time the irl guy appears, there's a bit less static.

And maybe it's just lighting or something, but I feel like his fingers look weirdly red.

The 3rd and final time we switch back to irl, the censor box is gone, and instead we see a mask that looks stupid here. But in later shots, looks pretty damn cool actually.

Then we switch to video of him being chained to a chair and thrashing, and the mask looking a lot less stupid.

And even a close up of his eye

Now, I'd like to note the "TSE: 2" In the corner. This makes me wonder if we won't actually see him until the 2nd stream.

This also isn't the 1st time we've seen this set up, in this tweet from a day ago, we got a shot of the device and his arm

(I'd assume it's probably some kind of electrocution device. Idk maybe someone else can place it better.)

And then the video ends with this:

Which is another shot we also got to see in a tweet before this. But weirdly, it now says "TSE: 1", maybe implying this will actually be in the first stream.

And now because I'm on mobile I can't add any more images so I'll make a part 2 and link it here once I'm done, which will be discussing the game u can play on the generationloss.tv site (it's short and simple.)

(Also go buy the glerch if u can.)

The glass cliff, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon by which women are more likely to be appointed to senior executive positions during times of organizational crisis, making them less likely to succeed. These newly appointed executives may confront internal board resistance, operate with less time flexibility, and ultimately receive shorter tenure than their male counterparts. And, when a woman CEO is terminated from her position, she is more likely than not to be replaced by a male (the “savior effect”).

He's stepping down so people don't pay attention to Tesla recalling 1 mil. cars.

They’re WHAT???

Also the woman named is an alt-right Trump supporter so....

When i was in middle school i had autism and i got really into american history. I started wondering whether popular opinions about which presidents were good and bad was accurate, so i decided to read every piece of legislation and every executive order in us history to figure out objectively who was the best president. However there was the slight setback that each of these documents was hundreds of pages of dense legalese and there are thousands of them. I swung hard left in high school and realised that theres no such thing as a good president but i had already spent a year on that project and had to restart twice bc of calculating errors so i just kept doing it. Cut to today i have a spreadsheet with 1358 bills (not all of them. Its just not possible) and their impacts positives and negatives, and a list double that of executive orders. Its been three different presidents since i started.

While in the past, Link didn’t talk due to the pressure of his duty, after he woke up 100 years later, his voice was so rough with disuse that it became far easier simply not to speak than to try and use it.

During Breath of the Wild, Zelda could see everything you were doing but actually enjoyed watching Link do dumb stuff. After all, it’d been over a hundred years since she’d last had something to laugh about.

for the people who aren't really aware of what actually happens in "La Velada del Año", the main event is a boxing competition between streamers, but asides from that, many artists are invited to sing in between each fight (this year we're getting maria becerra, ozuna, quevedo amongst others) + we also get a red carpet before the event begins.

these are some of the outfits some streamers (including the ones who were competing that year) wore in 2022

some outfits are really expensive, others just look really good, others just absolutely go all out. so while yeah, we might absolutely get them in suits, they could also choose to be hella creative, literally everything is possible!!

let's just say i'm VERY excited to get a dtk red carpet and generally seeing them having a good time

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

That’s so utterly depressing.

disgusting

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.

There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!

This shit is why conservatives think disability is fun pampering, because they see disabled people have to come up with ways to get rid of the money and to them it looks like they must be rolling in excess.

like it might just be me but i think calling anyone’s degree “useless” and “a waste of time” is fucking rude at best. absolutely unnecessary and it’s not just because i’m an english major that’s a fucked up thing to say about any field. there’s a reason all of them exist and the world needs professionals from the fields western society deems “useless” more than ever.
