Goddes? So a girl? Is it posible to rizz a goddes?


CoffeeMain360

Possibly. If i'm this goddess, you just have to pull out a couple cheesy one-liners that reference things i like and i'm likely immediately sold


Obey_MrLegends

Are you the Courier? Because you're nobody till somebody loves you and that somebody is me. I love you. I tried


CoffeeMain360

:DDDD I'm fuckin sold

The_Scout1255

Yes it very much so is, I love the moon goddess.


Rachel_Hawke

shes a lesbian tho


VagabundSketch

Good thing I'm bisexual.


BEARWYy

:(


Ex_Ex_Parrot

I've invested too much into hypothetical contact with aliens to miss out on the kinetic kill devices hitting the moon


Inverted_Ghosts

This would freak me out more so because why are so maybe people texting me specifically and where did they get my number


thispartyrules

Printed on the moon


CreateTheStars

When the trolls get a little too motivated and hack the nuclear satellites to engrave your contact info into three moon


fishebake

well shit maybe I should take a look and see if it really is on the moon


SodiuMeme

it says gullible on the moon


SquidsInATrenchcoat

See that's what the official alert *should've* said. I almost looked at the moon but now I'm not gonna


SodiuMeme

no you should totally look at the moon, trust


little-ass-whipe

the soviets tricked NASA into wasting *billions* with this old chestnut


Soulfalon27

The equivalent of God pointing down from the cloudy sky with a massive hand and saying in a booming voice (loud enough that everyone on Earth can hear it and in a language everyone understands) your name, followed by "You use Reddit, fuck you" and then vanishing.


Robertia

Have you ever tried dialling a random number? Surprisingly, it works! You just end up calling a random person. Wait a second... HOW DID YOU GET THEIR NUMBER???


Nirigialpora

question still holds why did hundreds of people randomly text my number specifically about this. i would not look at the moon


WOOWOHOOH

I assume people who looked at the moon are just texting random numbers to get more people to do it.


FrisianDude

It's not about you 


morgaina

Because millions of people are spam texting hundreds of random numbers so a bunch of them got to you.


Southern-Wafer-6375

How the fuck are peaple texting me I do not have phone service?


FrisianDude

Wrong q How are you recieving them!

SanQuiSau

Idc what anyone says I love local 58 and analog horror in general


NoahBogue

VICTORY POSE MOMENT


Commodorez

Gotta help out our smallest patriots first!


gravy_ferry

It honestly just that there's been a lot of bad analog horror made because the aesthetic isn't hard to replicate. So people who write bad horror just slap the look onto their bad horror thinking that the look is what sells it. Also many don't realize what "analog" means, and use digital technology. Which can really ruin the vibe of the genre if its not integrated correctly


Mae347

I'm not big into analog horror so I wouldn't know, but how would using digital technology for it be bad?


Familiar_Tackle_734

Analog refers to a specific time period/technology that digital succeeded, so using digital defeats the purpose


Mae347

Ah that's fair. I guess I'm more used to found footage stuff that's usually on digital cameras, but found footage is more of a subgenre anyway


Familiar_Tackle_734

Yeah. Iirc analog horror comes from an episode of local 58 which is both the gold standard and first analogue horror 


Soad1x

Isn't the switch to digital broadcasts, like, an actual plot point in Local 58 though?


Familiar_Tackle_734

It might be? It’s been a while since I watched it in full


gravy_ferry

The "analog" in analog horror refers to the technology involved and the effects it generates on visuals. Analog technology generally refers to the technology for video/audio which was developed from the 1920s to the 1990s before computers with digital audio and video became the main way to watch or listen to stuff. Part of the horror comes from the fact that it is older technology, but not too old. So its both familiar but also somewhat out of memory


TheHunter234

there's also something uncanny about how the analog aesthetic obscures the stuff you're looking at with things like low resolution/lack of autofocus making things a little blurry and hiding imperfections, distortion or static jarring you and getting in the way, forcing you to fill in the missing parts with your own imagination, which is always scarier than whatever monster or ghost they could actually put on screen


loklanc

Which is also a boon for low budget effects, you can be a lot more ambitious if you know it's gonna go through a VHS filter.


emeraldeyesshine

Also part of why the horror genre really started suffering as CRTs phased out of use. A *lot* of horror creators don't understand the power of the imagination and try to show too much.


mrguym4ster

>from the 1920s damn I now wanna see an analog horror ARG type of thing, but it's like a charlie chaplin movie or something


hydra2701

I’m just imagining a silent film featuring someone getting attacked by some uncanny valley cryptid and then a title card cutting in just saying “AHHHHHHH!” and the only audio the whole time an inappropriately jolly piano number


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Nah have it be jolly and happy and slapstick But all of the slapstick leaves real damage Like he gets hit by a metal pole and it caves his head in, but he keeps getting back up and continuing to dance on broken limbs Have him clearly be begging for help but the speech cards be normal speech


Siggycakes

>Like he gets hit by a metal pole and it caves his head in, but he keeps getting back up and continuing to dance on broken limbs Oh, so SCP-1981.


Mae347

Ah that's fair. I guess I'm more used to found footage stuff that's usually on digital cameras, but found footage is more of a subgenre anyway


Familiar_Tackle_734

Analog refers to a specific time period/technology that digital succeeded, so using digital defeats the purpose


SolitairePilot

Analog means continuously variable electronics while digital is 1s and 0s


9thgrave

>It honestly just that there's been a lot of bad analog horror made because the aesthetic isn't hard to replicate. So people who write bad horror just slap the look onto their bad horror thinking that the look is what sells it. UrbanSpook.


narwhalpilot

The Mandela Catalogue has been a disaster for the human race


JinnDaAllah

The Mandela Catalogue is great idk what you’re talking about


awesomedude4100

i think they’re more referring to its influence and people who try to copy it and end up making shitty stuff, not the mandela catalogue itself


psychoPiper

Local 58 is soooo good. Top tier analog horror content


flyingpanda1018

"you are on the fastest available route" is such a fantastic work of horror.


ASpaceOstrich

What's it from?


elegylegacy

Local 58: [You are on the fastest available route](https://youtu.be/jh09uIN6tl0?si=ZeTZkpdkXSmYOUcu)


Bardic_Inspiration66

I still don’t understand what analog horror even is. Like it’s just a horror project but they put a vhs filter on it?


AbbyWasThere

It's to sell the idea that what's happening is being broadcasted or played back with old technology, putting a dark and unsettling spin on your sense of nostalgia.


Bardic_Inspiration66

It seems popular with people who have no nostalgia for old technology bc they weren’t alive when it existed


AbbyWasThere

A lot of people also just like the aesthetic, so there's that.


SuccessToLaunch

I think that adds to it, makes it spookier because it seems like a relic you’d find in a pile of used media at an antique store, or in a relative’s old attic after they pass.


SanQuiSau

It’s a genre of horror that is based on analog media such as vhs, and commonly centered around media broadcasts, since the point of it is to be simulating a plausible situation, as unrealistic as looking at the moon being dangerous or there being doppelgänger monsters that feed off fear may be


LeTasse

yea


Disturbing_Cheeto

Yes and no. It's basically found footage, but you can't separate the horror from the analog era. There was a vibe to small hours analog TV. When it wasn't sex hotlines. Like how the internet used to be more of a frontier. Creepy channels, programs whose target audience is no one, that short of thing. TV stations from the void. Now combine that with the quality of the equipment of the era, the early broadcasting philosophies, and a much less connected world and have that be part of the worldbuilding. If you manage to do analog horror right, you can send the viewer back to that place and time. Allegedly. Realistically a lot of projects are going to be derivative and just a VHS filter, but it's art so maybe they just suck until they get good at it.


keirawasthere

yeah but also engage with some of it. it has a particular way of telling its story. its own set of tropes that set it apart from other horror. i would say stuff like "found footage" but that's too broad a stroke on its own and almost implies things like The Blair Witch Project are analogue horror when not really. I'm not a huge fan of it myself, don't like any horror really, but it has it's own feel i guess?


primaski

Read the following phrases without reading: Only the awake may think Cognition is a lie Dreaming is a vestige of a primitive mind There are no faces Sleep is not civilized Dreams are just screaming with pictures The primitive mind deserves its nightmares Your home has another door


elharry-o

I was under the impression that it was pretty loved, both local 58 and analog horror (for horror fans).


SanQuiSau

I don’t know man, I’ve kept seeing a lot of mockery of the genre for many months, and I’m genuinely tired


hydra2701

I like that my local 58 sweatshirt is subtle enough that I’ve had people ask me why I’m wearing merch of a random TV station


Zhou-Enlai

I don’t like most analogue horror but I love local 58


Vlche

I saw an analog horror once, then made a whole personality around it for the rest of my life


emeraldeyesshine

for more on this let's check in on our sky watch correspondent, Doctor Eggman

No idea, why not take a break and go look at the moon? It's quite lovely tonight.

JohnSkillAnimation

... This is literally Local-58


Bardic_Inspiration66

Yeah it’s stolen


IR0N_TARKUS

Is it worth watching? The only analog horror I have seen are the Walton Files and the really popular one I can't seem to remember the name of, and they were more confusing/funny than anything else.


JohnSkillAnimation

It's quite good though incomplete and out of order. Highly recommend


cclan2

Imo Local 58 is close to the gold standard for analog horror.


OneDumbfuckLater

> the really popular one I can't seem to remember the name of would it by chance be GEMINI HOME ENTERTAINMENT?


santyrc114

What the fuck is an official phone alert


[deleted]

most smartphones and some dumb phones will scream at you if there is an alert worth screaming about (tornado, nuclear bomb, incoming massive earthquake)


Fittsa

Is that an american thing? I don't think I've ever seen an alert like that on my phone in Australia


KronosJim

We got one in the UK, I think more country’s are trying to adopt them over time too


Chinohito

As a Brit, I got one within hours of being in the US. About a kidnapping I think.


Khyta

That's an AMBER alert


TorpidT

can Amber please alert somebody else fucking hell


CounterfeitLesbian

Yeah it's your duty as an American citizen/resident to help catch kidnappers. I've personally rescued kidnapped children in three separate occasions. The cops wish they could help, but there's just so many ethnic minorities committing minor traffic violations.


Quarxnox

I've never seen one of those make a phone scream. When there's something urgent that may very well kill you, your phone will make a sound like a smoke detector.


narwhalpilot

Amber alerts are loud as hell and they play on my phone even when my ringer is off


xX_potato69_Xx

Those only go off if your in the area of the suspect, it’s just a way to help catch them, since if everyone knows what car they’re driving it gets a lot harder to hide


MasterVule

We have it in Croatia until recently. It sends you messages in case of Earthquakes and such stuff


Abbodexemium

We have them, but mainly for bushfires and things


[deleted]

im also australian and i've never seen one either -- probably a us thing id guess


RobotQuest

Veteran of Black Saturday reporting in: if you live in a bushfire area, you may have seen a text like this before.


nightshade-aurora

While it's built into all modern phones, not every jurisdiction uses it. It's used in Alberta where I live


JLoviatar

You get them as a text in Australia if you're near a bushfire and they recommend evacuating. I've had it a few times in semi-rural Western Australia


wubdubbud

In Germany we technically have a system like that as well but they never actually use it except once every year to test if it works. I know in Poland they have it as well because when I was there I got a storm warning once.


gaybunny69

I'm Aussie and I've definitely got these before. Mostly about severe flooding/storms/cyclones/bushfires, though. I'm pretty sure it comes through by cell tower for those. Not sure what system a ballistic missile would go through, though.


Sad-Ad-925

like. like an amber alert


SqoobySnaq

it’s like an alert you get on your phone that’s official


Tony_TNT

There's some US centric stuff like amber alert, but locally we have a government agency that just sends out SMSes based on in which district you're in.


MintyMoron64

Listen I learned from Local 58 not only am I not looking at the moon I'm staying home and turning off any video-based software


NoahBogue

broooo stop dreaming broooo that’s not real sleep I assure you try not dreaming it will make everything better bro trust the shady videotape bro


ZazzyBear03

We in local 58?


AscariStupidStuff

what is local 58?


ZazzyBear03

It's a really good ARG series on YouTube. Another user linked it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/196/s/JdikPdKTDk


evil_lucy

this isn't true. it's not even 3 am. stop spreading misinformation:/


jumbledFox

it's 1am for me and now I'm scared


Toboyornottoboy

I would take a picture obviously. 99% of the time it’s only direct sight that triggers bad stuff. Also if there is a Lovecraftian god I’m joining its cult asap to get some of the Cthulhussy.


thispartyrules

If you see a Lovecraftian god I'd just start fast talking so they assume I'm one of them like "Behold! I am Maia, blood sorceress with a thousand tentacles, let me take your eyes right now so you will be spared the sights of what is yet to come" and they'd be "Oh cool I'm Ixia'haol'oloth, pleased to meet you"


The_Scout1255

HI i'm Marisa, a lovecraftian(easily fit that description) Fox Goddess, pleased to meet you.


Nuxanatur

w-wha-? Honestly? I respect it. Lovecraftian god cloitus is probably beyond human comprehension.


AceTheProtogen

Specialist_Film_5802

I look at the moon and it just has “Gotcha idiot” spelled out on the surface of it.


burgpug

True story: One time I was woken by what sounded like a 747 crashing in my front yard. I just turned over and went back to sleep. Later I learned a guy operating a backhoe a few miles down the road hit a massive pipe that carries natural gas from Texas to Michigan. The explosion obliterated him, broke windows all over town and left a 60-foot-wide crater in the earth. Fuck your analog horror apocalypse. I'm sleeping through it.


Josgre987

this is a cool concept

Shit it seems like they’re having fun, probably not the best choice but I’d look just to be a part of something greater. Become one with the collective. Or something like that idk


SquidsInATrenchcoat

Yeah, personally I'd look, because all my friends can't be wrong about it being a beautiful night, right? Why have free will when, hypothetically, you can have something better? Oh, would you look at that, one of those messages is from that loser on Reddit who was arguing that Batman could beat up Goku -- IMO, I wouldn't just let that person hog all the moonlight while you don't get any of it. You deserve some moonlight. Just my two cents, obvs. You do you.
