I'm your god, computer's my name

 Time for a little pointless trivia about  The Amazing Digital Circus . This assumes you've watched the whole thing, so spoilers. Pomni was originally intended to be a much angrier character, but after Lizzie Freeman was cast in the role, she was "such a sweetheart" (in Gooseworx's own words) that the character was rewritten to have her anger issues toned down. Gooseworx later expressed regret about this decision, saying that if she could do the series over again, she would like to explore Pomni's angry side a bit more. Despite exclusively being referred to with they/them pronouns in the series, Gooseworx said that Zooble uses any pronouns. The original release of episode 1 had an error in the subtitles, where Jax's line "Eh, they'll be fine" as Zooble is carried off by the Gloinks (the first time any pronouns had been used for Zooble in the show) was subtitled as "Eh, he'll be fine". Gooseworx confirmed that this was purely a subti...

Time waits for no one, so they say

 Pointless trivia/misconception debunking about the The Legend of Zelda series. Link is very commonly thought of as being mute or otherwise unable to speak, to the point that it's very common to depict him communicating in sign language in fan works. In fact, just like many "silent" video game protagonists, the games either heavily imply or outright show multiple times that Link can and does speak. We as the player never hear what he says, but other NPCs still react as if he explicitly said something (for example, asking him his name, then reacting as if he said it).  Zelda II: The Adventure of Link has many moments of "narration" dialogue written in first person, implying that Link himself is saying them, in  The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker he has actual voiced dialogue for the first time in the series ("Come on!"), several NPCs in several different games comment on his voice, and in  The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess  the Hero's Sha...

I hope you die in a fire

 Thought I'd do another "debunking misconceptions" pointless trivia, this time about Five Nights at Freddy's . This'll mostly be focused on gameplay, since a lot of the lore is quite nebulous anyway. The first game in particular generated a lot of false rumours and misconceptions, due to a combination of the game not being very forthcoming with information, Phone Guy's hints being rather vague and unhelpful, and people's own experiences with playing or watching the game colouring their perception of it. First of all, Foxy. A lot of people think that Foxy will run for the office if you look at him too much, due to Phone Guy mentioning that Foxy hates being watched. However, this is not true. In fact, looking at any camera - not just Foxy's - will completely prevent Foxy from moving for a few seconds. What Phone Guy meant was that looking at Foxy intimidates him, not that it aggravates him. It's often believed that Bonnie has the unique ability to t...
