I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
Another theory about the babies is that they power the suits/flashlight arm things.

Apparently when the one dude throws the baby over to Reedus his robot stops working and when Reedus picks it up his starts working.

The tracks go off in this direction.
I got significant Lovecraftian horror feels from that trailer. Especially the giant man that turned in to the Moon Presence.

The babies may have something to do with time dilation?

Watching this trailer on loop on 500 screens, each with a time offset of .25 seconds so that I scrub through endlessly taking notes without having to pause, running back and forth cross referencing time stamps to finally decode the hidden meaning of the latest trailer till the next one comes out in a year and renders my research invalid.

Crain posted:

I heard one theory that the baby pods might be tied to player respawns. Which is why the dude threw it to Reedus when he knew he was getting got.

Other ideas:

-Denying (Ala DOTA2) the kill might be a mechanic in order to prevent something with the enemies. Could be simple as just captured allies turn against you like they were zombified, or something else. Which is why the dude killed his friend and tried to kill himself, granted this could also just be thematic "Better to die than deal with the enemy" because they're just that bad.

-"Life" might be treated similar to how "Heat" was used as a resource in the Lost Planet series. The only proof towards that is the "Don't even breath" bit when the invisible dudes are around. They clearly don't "see" the characters, and even though Reedus also says to be quiet, the robots reacting to their presence make plenty of sound that doesn't draw their attention.

The world is insane. Why would anyone ever stop this from happening. I hate them so much.

It's just crazy in general that the only Junji Ito games were a couple of lovely handheld Uzumaki things for the loving Wonder Swan.
