I dunno, I think that Pre-Amnesia Phillip may have been on the cusp of figuring out how to transcend. Well. That or the wiki itself.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:wait, so the world ended up covered in cryptids solely because of your dumb conspiracy wiki? Well we can't say that with absolute certainty. After the breakdown of society, creepy old stories about scary stuff that you never worried about when you had a bed in a warm house in a community suddenly seem a lot more real when you're shivering in some old rags clutching a sharp stick and trying to sleep in the burnt wreckage of a building. Also let's not forget that the NEO wiki was being wiped out by the government. Phillip went into hiding to get away from either the government, the Merga, or both, 9 of the 10 administrators were murdered, and effort was put into taking the wiki down. A lot of the cryptids were starting to become real and that helped to lead to the collapse, but Phillip and the NEO can't be solely responsible for that. I'm forming the roots of a headcanon where the fifty thousand apocalypses that destroyed society were all caused by the Merga to prevent any human from gaining the same power it has, the rise of the cryptids could easily have been another tool in that box, along with smallpox, Not!Monsanto, and civil wars in nearly every country including the ones in space. At the same time though, the wiki is probably partially responsible. Not just because of the information being collated, but Phillip was going out of his way going to people like Michelle's father to collect oral traditions. He probably drove up interest in stuff like that and led to a lot more people going out of their way to learn about things they otherwise might skip even if they weren't reading the wiki. Now here's the interesting question: did the government become super-evil with spying on and murdering citizens far beyond anything we see today because everybody believed that's what the government is like?

Truthkeeper posted:the shop sim/dungeon crawler Recettear. Unless I think of something else I want to do instead. Not much attention span over here. I'd love to see an LP of Recettear. I've played a bit of it, but have always gotten distracted midway through, so it'd be cool to see more of it.

Here I thought the implication was that Phillip was the tenth administrator using an alias! I mean, the first two initials match up and the use of aliases is on the file and everything. It'd also explain the lack of pictures on both their records

Although the initials don't quite match up, Admin#10 is PKD, Phillip is just PK. Although it does explain a fair number of seemingly unconnected events pretty well.

masam posted:Also kindred was phillip k dicks mothers maiden name some im pretty sure he is supposed to be the tenth administrator, as guessed earlier in the thread. Huh, you guys are putting up a convincing argument, and it seems more likely as I look over Blackwhite's files again. It explains why the government had data on Phillip, but all the relevant details about him were on the master system. Especially if there were only a total of ten people with admin rights, Phillip would pretty much have to be one of them. Alright, I'm ready to start forming a super-rough sequence of events. So, the government didn't have a definitive description of PKD, but they were closing in on him anyway. He contacted Bertram Ferris, Cale McAllen's father, through the Deep Web, and they arranged a plan. We know that Ferris picked up a passenger, who I previously just assumemd was PHillip but Phillip also being PKD helps flesh that out, and they drove from Indiana to Michigan, coming in from the southwest, possibly from as far west as Gary. They came up through Sturgis, through Coldwater and Jackson before stopping in Ann Arbor for three days. There were other stops along the way, none for more than a day. Those were more than just rest stops, you can do Gary to Ann Arbor in an afternoon if conditions are good. Maybe PKD was looking for the talisman, Michelle noted that he brought it with him when he first met her father.  My theory is that it's in Ann Arbor where they hook up with Michelle!Dad and whoever he gets together to work on the talisman. Their efforts protect PKD from the Merga and its wraiths by some means, but he still needs to hide from the government. But PKD has a plan. He's got a bunch of aliases, including Phillip Kindred, which he's been using at least since starting this daring escape (he was using it when he met the Anishinaabe), and he's going to keep using it. So Ferris and Kindred swing north, up through Brighton and Burton to Saginaw, where they ditch the car, which is towed a week later. Presumably having switched cars, they move on to Saginaw Mental Institution, which might be in the town of Saginaw but is certainly somewhere in Saginaw County. Ferris checks Kindred in under his current alias.  Some time later, Ferris takes Phillip, who has been subjected to various treatments possibly including electroshock therapy, which might be the reason for his memory loss, and brings him to Gyges and has him frozen. Ferris is in charge of paying for Phillip's stay in the cryo chamber, and arranges for a bank account to make the payments even after his death. We can't say for certain when or how Ferris died, but we know he had a son during that time who was old enough to be angry that his daddy didn't pay enough attention to him. Ferris likely died before or just as the world started going to hell, there's no way he would have left Phillip in Gyges after the apocalypse. Somehow, Gyges keeps running despite the lack of any staff and keeps billing the account Ferris set up, which works out great until his idiot son decides he wants to be a pretty pretty mermaid and wastes the whole account.

phillip didn't cause the apocalypse or the collapse of society, but he's the reason there are cryptids running around. he is also inspired the disease cult. the game ends with him endlessly chasing his own tail, to no purpose or benefit. ha, that's pretty good.

Doesn't really work. The doodles are on his discharge paperwork, which logically wouldn't have existed while he was there. I don't think Phillip made the drawings, although they may have been drawn by another patient, possibly Elias' father, based on things he said.

One thing I don't get, though, if it's all consensus reality, why does Sacred Indian Magic(tm) in particular protected Philip from the Merga Wraiths? Like, by that logic, anything enough people believed in should have done it. A circle of salt, a crucifix, singing the national anthem, etc.

You know, in the context of the final words of Sergeant Whatshisname, the one who got us the inside scoop on the prism project, it seems rather believable to me that civil unrest caused by those reveals may actually have been what set off the end-of-the-world situation on the government level, at least US-locally. Martha's Army becomes a whole lot less weird and psychotically ideological if you think of them as the one-to-two-generations-removed remnants of the political activists that gave the original "gently caress you, Big Brother" kick that took the government down and made it unable to meaningfully respond in the face of the crisis.
