    the moon itself sending these messages actually makes a lot of sense as a Lovecraftian interpretation, some humongous eldritch creature hiding in plain sight that is starting to wake up/is being agitated? not to mention the stars being said to be eyes also fits in with the cosmic eldritch horror interpretation

      There is an issue with the moon theory however as the moon is refered to as "his throne" in skywatching making it seam more like a residency for some powerfull being.

    "Unthinking they move to cut his throat, only to make a thousand mouths" is essentially the Aliens telling L58 that they screwed up hard. L58 swapped to Digital to try and shut out the aliens from interfering, but in doing so, they allowed the aliens access to much more than just Local 58's station.
    I think this is the official announcement that our alien friends just went global. Not good.

    "His throne" is a reference to the Skywatching video where it says the moon is his throne, so its definetly an entity that lives on the moon or the moon itself is a vessel.

    • @spacetaco2792
      @spacetaco2792 2 года назад +37

      Also at 47:18 it again mentions “our master’s silent house” and “an empty throne”, possibly implying that he left the moon either because he died or is heading for Earth.

    (SPOILERS BELOW YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
    Ok so Mat obviously missed the episode before which is called Skywatching and gives us an idea of how weird the moon really is. It’s basically a living thing of some kind and is what is referred to by “HIS THRONE” in the video. This is followed by a figure in the shadows making a prasing motion as the Moon gets bigger and the words “REJOICE” appear. I really hope May goes back and watches it as it’s definitely one of the best in the series.

    "They move to cut his throat" I think "he" is the moon (an earlier video called the moon "his throne") and I think "cutting his throat" is changing the TVs to analog, which would cut off his ability to communicate.

    • @DWal32
      @DWal32 2 года назад +10

      they're changing TVs to digital actually, and i think "cutting his throat only to make a thousand mouths" refers to changing to digital as an attempt to shut off the moon or whatever is sending messages, but ending up giving it access to every station.

Also, maybe give these videos an uninterrupted watch through before going back to dissect them?

      I'm a year late to seeing these comments.
      But for the live streams, mods, or members.
      They don't want to pay gate, getting mods would require hiring people to run the chat, or trusting community members, which, isn't the wisest for various reasons, hiring more people just wouldn't really be reasonable, nor is giving the job to the people who are already busy doing other things.
      While chat would spoil things, which would be a bummer, chat, is also not the kindest when it comes to "correcting" or "reminding" creates in general.
      Even game developers who reach out, can have some attitude to them, unfortunately.
      It's the annoying thing about live streaming, there's a lack of communication, there's still a delay, there's still no guarantee people are who they say they are, people try to communicate through different sources, even if you tell them to use a specific two like they did with chat and Twitter.
      Plus that would require setup, scheduling, people staying to run the stream, apposed to the on demand, that can be recorded at any time that fits.
      It just falls in the few hours that he has during the day, even if you try to keep it consistent, there are no garentees.
      Streaming, would be more of a hassle than what it could ever be worth, in this case.

    One useful thing to do could be looking at the creator's other works and how they might relate to or reference each other. For example, the skeleton character is named Cadavre and appears in the webcomic Broodhollow. One of the cities that Local58 broadcasts to is Ichor Falls which features heavily in the short story collection "Ichor Falls: A Visitor's Guide". The title of one of the stories is "The Hirsch Camera (1870)", and the term Hirsch Camera appears in the Local58 retrospective. Another potential place to look is "Shining One From Above The Clouds" which the Broodhollow wikia describes as "an excerpt from a book on mythology, sharing a creation story from the Moneton tribe about how a cruel being called the Shining One was dealt with."

    The thing I get from the Jan 2001 section of the website with the error, is that is when local 58 got "infected" or jacked by whatever entity that's been giving the weird messages during the broadcasts. It says that permissions were reset by the host after it tried to open an admin profile for the server, and then the file size was exceeded (potentially from something getting injected into the system that it wasn't prepared for?). So something got in, made itself host, and then tried to boot out the actual owners of the system.
    I don't have any website experience, so there might be more mundane reasons for the error messages that I don't know, but that's what it read to me at least.
