@meghanmayhem You’re right. I certainly didn’t mean to make it sound like I thought I had a real clue as to what was going on or anything like that, I apologize if it came off that way. I debated with myself whether to even post the comment tbh. Kind of regretting it now, but I’ll leave it up as a reminder to myself.

@izryn I think you’re right. I don’t imagine that “fake-ARG-to-mine-data” is going to be the whole story this time. Far from it. I have to admit though that I am a bit pre-emptively heartbroken by the potential implications this twist may or may not have, like my beloved Sarah Sinclair potentially being an actress, as others have suggested in the…[Read more]

I think the thing that really confuses me is how EARLY all of this seems to be bubbling to the surface. I wasn’t following along with Tension from the beginning, but from what I’ve read I thought that the “OSDM-created-the-OOA-as-a-fake-ARG” thing was like, the third act reveal. Now it’s right here on front street. I mean, to be fair, the OSDM did…[Read more]

@theladyj Your exuberance is nothing but infectious! I don’t think it’d scare anyone off

It’s possible Sarah and Noah are Sabrina-type situations, and can thus be replaced, but with Darren and Clint having been kicked off the project, we might also ask ourselves if we’re even taking part in an entertainment experience anymore, or something more nefarious masquerading as an entertainment experience. Maybe the investors (whoever they…[Read more]

@izryn How exactly Tension and Lust are related is unclear to me , but I think it’s fair to say that this exists in the same world as Tension at least. When Noah saw Mike outside the focus group didn’t he make some reference to an experience Mike had in Tension? Something about being in a bathtub full of blood? Unless I misunderstood and that’s…[Read more]

I thought it was kind of odd that the Investor narrative seemed to sort of disappear. This feels like the tip of a huge iceberg. Maybe @theladyj just opened page 1 of chapter 1!

@coryphella Hope all is well Megan <3

Oop, update: her profile vanished. Maybe ol Otis knows his way around the Report For Spam button already. A man of his internet popularity, I imagine it’s a good thing to know.

@macbethinabathtub Actual spam would be my guess as well, especially since I saw no fellow LUSTers on her friends list. Her picture isn’t exactly “spambot porn account” stuff, but the people she’s friends with appear to be real, and I doubt any in game character would have real life non-LUSTers on their friends list. Just wanted to make sure I…[Read more]

I’m definitely thinking about this more in terms of attraction than in terms of destruction, but I’m sure both are applicable. I’m reminded of the monkey joke, how he entertained and attracted everyone’s attention in the bar. Many of us, myself included, have grown very attracted to one or both of the Sinclairs, however reserved or morbid that…[Read more]

Maybe the words are even more accurate with DLB and CS removed…

@pandace88 Hmmm, I wonder if we’ll get another “don’t believe the lies and slander” style press release in the next few days from SI, re: the call and the people who have been trying to reach out to Sarah. And if we do, I wonder what we ought to believe in that case.

The thing that makes the waters so muddy is that Sarah is so clearly part of…[Read more]

@genghistwan Hahaha, god I love Rachel Bloom. I’d actually never seen this one before, thanks for the laugh!

@meghanmayhem I’ve never seen that movie (looks pretty great!) but I love that fable for how cynical it is. Still, what do we take from it? To just cynically think that no one can change their nature? Scorpions will always be scorpions? I don’t really see people that way. Not because I’m an optimist but just because I think people are bundles of…[Read more]

I hope this wasn’t further manipulation on her part. I’ve said multiple times since the 4/18 incident that I think there’s something very likable and charming about Sarah.

To be honest I think many people have been unduly harsh on her. It especially weirds me out to see how many people are suddenly all about Noah now that he’s undermining and…[Read more]
