Amazing point. I mean think of it. Winter of 83, northern half of the Midwest. Vita carnis, Midwest (plus Canada). Mandela catalogue, Midwest. Gemini home entertainment, you guessed it, set in the Midwest. Greylocke, also Midwest. Midwest Angelica, that’s literally in the name. I’d cite more but the point’s been made and the only example I could think of that wasn’t set in the Midwest was the tangi virus in Louisiana. So yeah, never live in the American Midwest if you don’t want to die to unimaginable horrors in analogue format lol.

"Can you help me with this?" sounded way more unnerving than it should have. Also, with that last broadcast interference, could we safely say the entity said to "drown" in it because it somehow became a water body instead of simply being ice?

[@issacclarke624]

If what I read was correct, the reason why that line is so unnerving is due to an instinct to help others, so hearing an ask for help, but knowing it isn't human, is terrifying, as it's something trying to take advantage of a base instinct

[@ZeyTheDaemon]

Considering it was snow and then melted, yeah. Wouldn't it have evaporated?

[@gunsniper0018]

Thing is when he pulls himself off of his various soapboxes, Lewis has potential to be a really damn good horror writer. Look up his story compilation for king of worms as well as alot of the entity stuff. I mean the dude turned pokemon sprites (the entity being based off missingno and king of worms based off the pre silph scope ghost sprite) into eldritch gods. Granted he does have his character win through but it'd be kind of hard to run a show when, you know, the world has been wiped from existence.

Minnesotan here, analog horror aside, wind *is* the killer during the winters here. If you plan on visiting, outside of pants, boots, a cap and gloves, make sure your socks are wool, you got wool long underwear, your jacket has a fleece or wool liner, and above all else, you have something to fill the gap between the collar of your jacket and your neck. The winds here always find a way through your layers, tuck your shirt in, wear a scarf or neck gater, ensure your socks go higher than your ankles, and make your trips outside as short as possible. No joke, a few years ago, the WIND CHILL shut down schools and folks called in to work due to how hellacious it got. We’re talking frostbite in under five minutes on exposed skin.
