    Theorists, we've recently covered both the Dream SMP and ARGs here on Game Theory and our sister channel Film Theory. Today, we are closing the gap between the two with a brand new ARG from @Ranboo himself called Generation Loss. This is a BRAND NEW mystery and I am honestly very intrigued. Today I'm going to see what clues I can piece together out of the first video and see if we can predict the direction of this series.

    Re-watching this after The Spirit in the Cabin and The Mastermind of the Warehouse, Ep 1 and 2 of Generation Loss. It's crazy how much Matpat was able to get right. With only 28 seconds MatPat predicted the base story for ShowFall Medias The Social Experiments. Mind Blown!!!!

    I actually rewatched the episode before clicking on this, and found something that MatPat didn't mention.
    Towards the end of the video, two sentences flash very briefly in the bottom right corner. It took me a few tried to be able to actually pause on them but they read:
    "Everything has a purpose. Just not the purpose you think."
    I'm not quite sure what this means, or how it ties into any theory yet. I figured I would bring it up and see if anyone could possibly help.

      Well, I'm no investigator, but I would think it could tie back to the part at 14:20. It seems it may be a refrence to the fact there is a purpose for them trying to hide the truth about Romny. This could also be a hint to the fact that since all the other incidents happened in the 19's, it may be trying to hint that Generation Loss has been going for many years, and in the Alternate Universe, is still hiding truth. That's my therory.

    at this point I'm half expecting an ARG in the next 5 years that reveals an actual covered up story to the public, it feels like a way safer option to share classified information that's supposed to go public by disguising it as a game until it's figured out and has caught on

If it does happen though and is later discovered as real information, I would gladly label myself as Physic.

      It's hitting too personal, as someone who has issues with my memory, it hurts to watch and relate, but it's important to learn about this, because history, whether it be of a nation or of a personal life, can easily be manipulated by simply changing slight points of the narrative, which eventually leads to major generation loss after many retellings of the same story, leading to distorted memory and honestly, gaslighting...

    Altered history theme is actually pretty spooky in our own world. It’s of course mostly conspiracy theories with amounts of stretching and mental gymnastics done, but a lot of them are much more solid than your average flat earth illuminati aliens stuff. Armored skeptic has a huge long series called “History is a lie” that dives deep into it. The documents from the past we have that are somewhat unexplained are… unsettling.

    Starting from the circle point and ending at the little check tail.
    It goes from Dickson St, down what looks to be 'Mount' St, Twisting up along Windmills (?)st and tipping down Peter St and then curling up the end with Lower Mosely St.

  • @cullenlatham2366
    @cullenlatham2366 Před rokem +221

    Question: has there been technology created that can reverse the effects of generation loss (the concept, not the ARG)? Especially after showing the distorted gen9 nesquick commercial, the initial ARG video seems to be of a very similar quality, with clear instances of a grayscale change hinting that it might be the case. I am getting the impression that whichever group is controlling the text message is using said distortion as a heavy-handed symbol. Either way, i want to know what the undistorted video was before it was further tampered with to deliver the message. Worst case, it is a dead end, but one that proves the tech could work for future clues, best case we get a new perspective of the story. I dont think we have enough information to pick a side, yet. Dual censorship with even black squares, no proof that red and white text are different sides... maybe it is establishing a false narrative; a cause to support that is contrary to the organizer's (in arg universe) goals?

    • @onijester56
      @onijester56 Před rokem +18

      In the real world, no. Imagine that you have a connect-the-dots image. Imagine that with every "copy", you lose a couple dots. Since those dots can be anywhere on the page, even a small handful of dots missing can make the entire image incomprehensible or unsolvable.
      Now, if they have access to the original video they can copy that as many times to yield as many "v.2" releases as they want. Inversely, if they are only on a "v.3" or "v.4" level then there wouldn't be many explicit distortions. Least of all compared to a "v.9" copy.
      Or, obviously since an ARG isn't necessarily constrained to reality, the ARG's universe could have such technology.

    • @cullenlatham2366
      @cullenlatham2366 Před rokem +6

      @@onijester56 I was asking in the context of a potential lead. The simplest concept would be similar to that of a reverse image search, trying to find the few matches that exist and working backwards until finding the original. Or to put it another way, using gen9 to find gen8 to find gen7... to find gen1. IF the one video is a prime example of generation loss, i wonder what potential secrets it could hide, especially if every other censored image has all the real world history attached instead of just finding random images.
      I know it is likely beyond human capability, so that is why i specifically asked if tech exists to streamline the process. An in-universe explanation would be the next best thing, but in the realm of ARGs, that feels like it would be a bit too explicit a clue; at that point we are watching a fictional character solve a mystery, not solving the mystery ourselves.
