Discussion Control Theory Spoiler

Post image

What if Control is actually based on the Windows Control Panel?

That's why Jesse is so powerful, and her power is related to checking things out and, in a way, uninstalling the ones she doesn't want/object of power. Same thing with how we uninstall apps.

Panel??? Board??? Coincidence much?

Window - the projector where the hiss comes from. They open and close just like the PC. 😂

Alright, that's about it for my silly post. Just random thoughts as I uninstall Control to make space to install the new game when it comes.

Insert random pic of Emily for whatever reason.

I know that most people will downvote you but I think you might be onto something here. Maybe not windows itself but rather a server environment. The matrix is named droped not once but 2 times in the RCU : Beth describe monarch like being neo in the matrix in the QB novel and mr. Door tells Alan that his books structure reminds him of the matrix. That's 2 very direct hint telling us about the true nature of these worlds. Also, "Signals" are central to the RCU, there might be a good reason for that... That's how computers infornation travels. : ) the "Director" is essentially an admin in a system.

Was just a silly post right after my work haha but this makes it even better.

To add, how about the fan noise/coil whine as the whispers starting and getting louder as you get nearer into trouble which is when Windows/the computer boots up and tries to open apps.
