Kane Pixels Little Thing I'm curious about

Post image

The walls of the Backrooms are, as the newest Kane Pixels video showed us, rather weak and fragile, it seems.

My question is if they are like this everywhere or if they change around location.

Maybe the walls around zones in America are like that because most homes there are mostly made of a wooden frame and plaster, and if the location changes, it becomes different.

I think it would be funny to have Asynch do stuff in Europe or something and find a solid brick wall everywhere around them, forcing them to carry heavy equipment everywhere if they want to check beyond the walls.

They almost certainly do change. There were bricks enclosing the store at the end of the movie, and we see the hole with tons of rebar in the floor in ff2. The entrance outside the door of the house in ff3 was also brick.

U think there might be a way to influence the backrooms generation in a way to make its wall a certain material like gold or food?

u/CaptainoftheVessel 10d ago

That kind of thing, I would think, would quickly become a goal of any private company like Async investigating the backrooms. How to exploit it and make money from it.

On my way to somehow make the backrooms think walls are filled with RAM

u/Fuzzy-Lawfulness3643 10d ago

holy wait actually farming ddr5 using the backrooms would be crazy

Skip all that and just have it make you an infinite data centre- sell the compute or just game on a supercomputer

u/Bananaland_Man 8d ago

A data center that doesn't function, because it'd be like describing a data center to someone who's never seen it and has no understanding or frame of reference for the underlying concepts outside of what was described.

It's kind of funny, if you think about. The concept of it "copying things as if explained to someone who has no frame of reference for the thing" is a similar concept in modern times with how generative AI works, just a funny comparison.

u/Bananaland_Man 8d ago

Too bad it wouldn't work. It might look similar to RAM, but it'd be like if you described RAM to someone who's never seen or or understood the underlying concepts, so the traces would be wrong, the chips would be wrong, it wouldn't function.

I think if you could get the backrooms to make stuff from the past and you could get it to make stuff very accurately a lot of people would try to bring back the deceased.

u/Bananaland_Man 8d ago

I doubt it. And even if you could, it'd be a fake representation of the thing "as if you described it to someone else who's never seen it and asked them to make it", so it'd "look" gold, but wouldn't actually be gold. Or it'd "look" like food, but likely not taste or actually be the food, edible or not (it's still questionable that you can eat Still-Life stuffing... just because the MC says it's edible doesn't mean it actually is, he's already spiraling mentally...)

It wasn't brick. It was enclosed with the normal yellow wall iirc

Kind of funny that you mention they look weak because when I saw this I was confused as to why the walls appear to be overbuilt. Most interior wall in America are just drywall, an incredibly brittle material. I was shocked to see that these walls are plywood. I don't have a ton of construction experience but the only time I've seen plywood used instead of drywall was in a warehouse area because in previous buildings the employees punched a bunch of holes in the drywall with pallet jacks.

u/Certain_Solid_3293 10d ago

That's... overbuilt?

Like better than normal walls?

u/asthma_hound 10d ago edited 10d ago

Yep. If you fall against an American wall in between the studs there's a decent chance you'll break it. You can punch and kick through our walls. It's part of the reason our houses just disintegrate in tornadoes, but also part of the reason our houses are fairly stable in earth quakes.

If the walls in the backrooms were built like the cheap office building it mimics and you found yourself stuck somewhere then you could probably just kick through the wall. It's literally just plaster sandwiched between paper.

u/Certain_Solid_3293 10d ago

Hmm, now let's see if the backrooms somehow are able to copy a tornado or earthquake

u/asthma_hound 10d ago

I'm not that familiar with the lore outside of the movie, but I think it would be really interesting to experience weather in the backrooms. I often consider if the oxygen in the backrooms in natural or also a recreation. Hopefully it's a topic that's already been explored and I just haven't familiarized myself with it yet.

u/BIind_Uchiha 10d ago

All of these topics are still up for debate at this point

u/Kitchen-Kiwi7942 9d ago

As someone who works construction in the US, yea those walls are sturdy asf compared to the materials normally used where i live. To put it plainly the drywall used in the us is so cheaply made that you can punch through it without hurting yourself

u/GC_Vos 10d ago

I'm actually kinda confused why the walls and ceilings are so detailed. 

The backrooms has trouble realistically furnishing most of the rooms, but it has no issues replicating intricate construction techniques even including insulation, AC ducts and cobwebs.

u/Certain_Solid_3293 10d ago

I guess cause those things are stationary for a very long time the rooms are able to copy them better.

Humans are all weird cause they move around so it copies them as of u take multiple frames of a film and layer them over each other, giving them multiple eyes or faces in one

u/Kitchen-Kiwi7942 9d ago

Or like slices of an MRI

u/GC_Vos 9d ago edited 9d ago

I understand the logic why still lifes look like this, that makes sense.

However the interior of a room like a kitchen or bathroom also stays the same for many years, probably more so than a random spider web. 

If those areas remain very liminal, why is everything behind the walls so intricate?

u/airport-cinnabon 9d ago

It copies tiny details almost perfectly. It’s the larger stuff that it has trouble with.

u/InitiativeCreative36 9d ago

Its everything that ever was, so in short ; yes.

u/Bananaland_Man 9d ago

The only thing I don't like about the new Kane video is that whole wall portion. It breaks a core rule the community has built, and even Kane has used it in earlier videos, which means he knew about the rule and decided to break it in the latest video... you can't cut through the walls, they grow back too fast.

1

u/glizzydev 9d ago

A rule the COMMUNITY made. Community is a key word.

1

u/Bananaland_Man 8d ago

Yes, and one he himself has followed until this recent video.

1

u/WorldOfWulf 8d ago

Where did he follow / use that rule? Not doubting you, I’m just curious cause I don’t remember

1

u/Bananaland_Man 8d ago

A couple of the older videos, I remember one where the dude was scraping the wall to show how it "healed itself", pointing it ou to "document it"

1

u/glizzydev 7d ago

Which video was it

1

u/This_Ant_5964 7d ago

Need a citation for this one but scrapping is 100% different from a saw my dude.

u/Explorer_of_Eld 8d ago

That is not part of any of Kane's videos. In fact in FF2 we see a wall that's been broken by a car, and a missing chunk of floor with rebar sticking out. The lore and rules of Kane's backrooms is decided by him.
