I hope Scott sees this because this kind of stuff is really important for the health of the community

"youre an enigma scott, wrapped in a really cool jacket"

I’m pretty sure the only reason Scott is so afraid of giving us any information that isn’t vague and cryptic is because everyone praised him for doing so in the early part of the series, back when that could actually work, so he keeps doing it to maintain the reputation despite the story now being too complex to not be clarified

Honestly it would help tremendously if Scott would just point out the questions that we are intended to answer, because a lot of the confusion comes from picking out details that aren't supposed to matter because they aren't relevant to those intended questions and constructing theories based on these.

I actually think Gibi would be the best one to have this kind of interview/conversation with Scott. Docko’s interviews are great but they are not about stuff like this. Gibi knows what needs to be covered for healthy community communication but is respectful and professional enough to not push into places that would be about the story/mysteries.

We need the super theorists to slime Scott for information, style of their choice

Bonus bit/speed run:

It would be incredible if Scott could just repost/retweet/reiterate/etc any of the lore hints that he's given in a meta context (live stream, interviews, etc) that are CURRENTLY RELEVANT to helping theorists solve lore questions.

The haystack metaphor is beautiful 😂

Every other title since Sister Location has had a double meaning until Secret of the Mimic. But what if it actually is a double meaning? Maybe the way it should be read as "Secret of the [The Tales From The Pizzaplex story] 'The Mimic.'" That would heavily imply TalesFiction if true.

it's GIBI WHY

I hope scott will one day tell us who the protagonists of the pre-steelwool games are definitively so that we can focus on new lore in the new era instead of building what we know now off of shaky foundations

I really don't know why Scott doesn't want to communicate pretty basic things to the community
I really hope he will finally start one day

16:56 Recently Nicklolops made a follow up to his "Solving the FNAF 4 Box" video, and in it, he gave multiple instances of Scott calling FNAF 4 the original ending of the series, so I no longer believe that "The final chapter" was just a joke.

Personally I'd love to hear more in general about the creative process. In writing the books, how much control/input did Scott have? That might vaguely help us with lore, but more to just appreciate the hard work that goes into these games and other works we love. The fact that we had to puzzle out who wrote Coming Home means she's not getting appreciated for one of the best stories of the bunch.

I'm still not over how many players missed the brilliant switch from Dispatch to M1. That's an achievement in storytelling entirely told through acting and direction; that Fiona's actress had to pull off two distinct deliveries, and then Dispatch had to match it, and it all comes together so well..... and then folks theorize that M1 hijacked the line before the game started. I worry there's so much focus on solving the Lore that we're often missing the story and talent right in front of us.

As a librarian I'm really impressed by the accuracy of this video. That's exactly how it would go down. Mr. Holland is a real hero for making time for these appearances any time a librarian asks.

You're such a stand up guy, Gibi

The "this is Five Nights at Freedy's, asking for any sort of direct answers is too much" mindset around the franchise is so strong that even in a video where he is asking for direct answers, he needs to make circles to justify that the direct answers we want don't necessarily need to be DIRECTLY delivered.

11:22 a better example of when a hex code was indeed important or relevant that you could have used was with Security puppet's minigame ragarding Charlie's wrist band

Hey I'm from Texas. I have NEVER heard "summer job" and "part time job" being used interchangeably. I'm pretty sure that just a Scott's family growing up thing and he thought it's a Texas thing
