    Fun fact: Foxy can actually be halted on any camera since his AI is tied to overall camera usage. So as long you stay on the cameras for a significant amount of time, he'll be put at bay way longer and won't exit his curtain throughout the night if you're good enough.

We theorised that William got scooped then turned into a murderer by the robot manipulation and the killed and somehow reborn. We even sometimes did big pauses talking about Afton, cause thinking about that was disgustingly scary.

    Matpat did say about Chuck E. Cheese shooting incident that it was tragic and that he won’t make any jokes on it whatsoever. So I personally don’t think it was that bad of him comparing them. It was a stupid theory and I’m sure a big coincidence but I don’t think he was disrespecting the incident at all. I do understand your point of view though.

    I remember my first experience with FNaF, One of my parents' friends brought me to school. They had a kid with them going to school and I think he had FNaF 1 or 4 on his iPad, I asked if I could see and right as I looked over he got jumpscared, He told me what it was called, FNaF. So when I got home I searched it up and years later I'm still a fan. Can't believe it's been 9 years.

    foxy fax:
    1: it is actually possible to cut off foxy's jumpscare by running out of power
    2: you can beat 4/20 mode whil afk by setting the game to run at 2 or 3 fps, because freddy, bonnie, chica, and golden freddy can't kill you if you don't put up the moniter (golden freddy can only be summoned by using the moniter), and foxy takes around 1500 frames to get from the cove to the office, so you can finish the night before foxy kills you
    3: in foxy's jumpscare, the reason why he just goes "ayo the pizza here" instead of screeching in your face is likely because his jaw is actually broken, so he attacks the nightguard in other ways (also foxy appears to have some control over his jaw, as in the first frame of his jumpscare, his mouth is closed)

    A good thing to know when playing this game is how much power you should have when a certain hour goes by, for example:
    12AM = 100%
    1AM = 80% or above
    2AM = 60% or above
    3AM = 40% or above
    4AM = 20% or Above
    5AM = 8% or above
    Just a little strategy I came up with, it helps a lot with power management :)

    Don't know if others have said this, but, Outlast is not a Triple AAA game, it is made by an indie studio!
