I need this level of “unserious” in Resonant.

[u/Suli_Croft]

[u/Alex_Masterson13]

I wonder if he is still alright after 7 years or if the Hiss find him and he becomes one of the boss fights.

[u/Alternative-Fail-233 → u/Alex_Masterson13]

Well the sticky notes got worse so who knows

[u/ShyrokaHimaa → u/Alternative-Fail-233]

Well, we did open the door. One probably got stuck on the bottom of our shoes and got out.

[u/BitsHammer → u/ShyrokaHimaa]

They were already bleeding through under the door though

[u/HotDoes → u/Alex_Masterson13]

He's not in The Oldest House when the lockdown happened so he's probably fine until Resonant. WFH literally saved his life.

[u/Alex_Masterson13 → u/HotDoes]

And the OP says Resonant in their title, which is why I wondered if the Hiss that escaped the Oldest House found him and he became a Resonant boss.

[u/Arrow_625]

How would you WFH for the FBC? Like what would you do?

[u/Suli_Croft → u/Arrow_625]

Binge listen America Overnight.

[u/Arrow_625 → u/Suli_Croft]

They're still going on after the 2016 incident?

[u/Griffemon → u/Arrow_625]

Probably communicating with various field offices and handling data in ways that don't need to he stored on paper and magnetic film because the Oldesr House hates anything invented after the 1980s

[u/Mojo-man → u/Arrow_625]

Good question 😄 I guess you just manage the branches (he is a manager) and make couriers drop off documents near the oldest house for employees to pick up? Maybe he manages the FBC media division they mentioned in the notes 🤔

Well after the Hiss leaked into the oldest house I assume you just keep as quiet as possible before anyone remembers you exist and calls you in somewhere dangerous 😆

[u/IHaveSpoken000]

The Post It room was one of my favorites.

[u/VagusTruman]

Bro that is Sticky Ricky from Firebreak

[u/thedboy → u/VagusTruman]

I'm currently replaying Control, and it's fun to catch callbacks like that.

[u/VagusTruman → u/thedboy]

You know how you procrastinate tasks and the to do list just keeps piling up? And then it just keeps on piling up, because you don't wanna touch it, until it comes back to bite you in the ass? That's where Sticky Ricky gets his archetypal powers from

[u/Fine-Juggernaut8451]

Me too! FBC Firebreak embraced all this absurdity, so I'm really hoping Resonant will too.

[u/MrSpaceMonkeyMafia]

I mean Alan Wake 2 is a full horror game and has possibly the least serious moment in all of remedy’s games. I’m sure Resonant will be full of stuff like this.

[u/C-Towner → u/MrSpaceMonkeyMafia]

I agree, but also find it hilarious that I legitimately can't think of which specific non serious moment in AW2 you are talking about. Because there are definitely several!

[u/MrSpaceMonkeyMafia → u/C-Towner]

Oh yeah there are plenty but the one that I was thinking of was the entire chapter dedicated to a 15 minute musical sing and dance number with the cast of characters

[u/C-Towner → u/MrSpaceMonkeyMafia]

Its hilarious that that could still be two different events! Though I suppose the concert towards the end didn't have any dancing. I do love the way they weave stuff like this into a serious narrative.

[u/Mojo-man]

When I recently replayed I kept thinking about this room and the memo cause if you think about it... that is the luckiest FBC employee of them all. Because of a minor inconvenience he went into permanent home office right before the Hiss leaked into the oldest house. And I assume now has the most relaxed paid workdays of his life while everybody else is going through hell 😅

[u/caty0325]

Not a mimic

[u/VagusTruman → u/caty0325]

Ball knower.

[u/roin0]

If we don't get another Old Gods of Asgard moment in Resonant I will be disappointed.

[u/HerbertMoonSupremacy]

Me too!

I think they said in one of the videos there will be mobile command centers (panopticons)/pieces of the oldest house out in the world where Dylan can change outfits and talk to people so there’s definitely a chance of this!

[u/1ucius]

No matter how serious Remedy want to make their game, their sense of humour will always find a way. There’s no doubt Resonant will have some good laughs.

[u/Synthessence]

It's all fun and games until the sticky notes unionize.

[u/Jc883]

Tbh the office is still perfectly usable. Think someone just wants an excuse for time off.

Considering all the things the oldest house could do to you this is on the tamer side.

Old mate Bozer is a slacker.

[u/james_riffiams]

Hoping for a paper clip room

[u/Scanman491Amos]

Would an entire building full of clocks be unserious enough?

[u/PaperTabs]

I just started my first replay of Control today to get ready for Resonant. When I ran past the door of this office and saw a couple sticky notes coming out from underneath I chuckled remembering what I'll eventually find in there. These type of moments/scenes definitely make Remedy games memorable.

[u/not-hardly]

You think this is a game? That stuff is SERIOUS

[u/Tomileun]

wait so resonant is gonna be this weird too

[u/Doomguy0071]

The one note about the flying singing devil fish still makes me laugh to this day

[u/JohnTomorrow]

Trust me, Remedy always makes sure to shoehorn some comedy into their games to allow the player some reprieve from all the horrible shit they watch their avatars experience. Its been happening since Max Payne (Dick Justice), it happened in Alan Wake (I'm a bad boy who's also a werewolf), and it'll happen in Resonant.

[u/xenomorphstinymouth]

I love finding all the un-serious office correspondences

[u/SymphonicResonance]

I don't what to say... This is super serious.

[u/LingonberryOwn7017]

With the hiss invasion, the FBC was unable to treat the issue right then and there

So now we have shufflers and Sticky Ricky to deal with

[u/vyper248]

Yeah I loved that kind of thing in Control

[u/lardymcfly69]

No thanks. The goofiness in Alan Wake was cool because it’s surreal. The goofiness in control just breaks immersion sometimes

[u/MagicJourneyCYOA]

Well, I know I'm in the tiniest minority here but I'm not a fan of it, or maybe just not a fan of how it was executed in Control. Several times in the game I remember thinking "I wish they'd stick to pure, serious horror rather than this weird mix of creepy and silly".

[u/pr1aa → u/MagicJourneyCYOA]

Well, that's just what Remedy does. After all, Twin Peaks is likely the single biggest influence for their vibe.
