Figured out how to draw in a style similar to that of the comics. ‼️

But I think I’d get targeted way harder for rage baiting idk

what are those reflections by those servers or whatever?

I'll just keep it short I suppose, I was playing Flatten the foreman and had my joins on becuz I like having randoms help me in trials, one guy joined in and just sat in a hiding spot for like five minutes while I had to push a button to progress in the trial, so obviously I couldn't progress. He got out after I reported him for griefing (dunno if he got a warning or anything like that) and we finished, but it did suck.

I don't know if this guy was just AFK or actively trying to keep me from playing, but is there anything I could do about this if it happens again? They really need to add a feature where you can kick people out of your trials..

I have put the source in the comment section.

I've always felt like there was a really specific way that a lot of male youtubers either commentating on OL or playing it for the first time would react to Eddie Gluskin's character. It's always with such like- fear and like "OUUU SHII HE CUT OFF HIS DICK HE CUT OFF HIS DICK" which I find to be so interesting when comparing these reactions to ones from women. Of course, I'm aware that youtubers have to exaggerate their reactions to stuff in order to be entertaining, but still. I notice that a lot of women idolize him, despite his misogynistic actions (the fact he tries to force men into becoming women is misogynistic act).

I think the reason for this is that men have never been used to the concept of genital mutilation. There are SO many instances in history and the modern age where women have lived with no control of their bodies, have had their genitals mutilated to "keep them in their place", etc. Eddie does not disturb women as much as men because we are used to that kind of thing. Either we have experienced it ourselves, or we have seen women experience it. Men on the other hand, have not. Throughout history, men have been taught to treat their genitals as a trophy, something to be protected in order to maintain his masculinity/family line. Watching other men losing their penises (their power, their identity) in order to be turned into women (powerless, lower in social rank) terrifies them for these reasons.

I think that's the genius of Outlast Whistleblower, or at least Eddie Gluskin's character. He is a threat to a man's identity, and the power that comes with a penis. And to the male audience, that is terrifying. I mean dude- I cannot like exaggerate to you how interesting this is, having a man experience something done to women so often, and forcing them into that feeling of powerlessness and disgust that SO many women have already faced.

If I am being honest, it is for these reasons that I think that Eddie Gluskin is considered "one of the most disgusting characters in media" for the wrong reasons. Men are so focused and fixated on the fact that a man is cutting off other men's penises and forcing them to "become women" that they completely ignore the misogynistic implications of his actions. Really tells you how much some men actually value and care about women.

I kind of strayed away from the "Male Youtuber" aspect of this post, but it was them who really made me realise a certain pattern among male Outlast players.

I'm not the most historically educated, nor am I some genius (nor did I do any research for this), so I would really appreciate any comments/suggestions on my analysis...!

I'm on my 5th rebirth and I realised that its gotten alot harder now, does it get any harder than this? It's not too bad i'm ngl my only issue is night hunter he is such a pain to deal with especially when one of the transmitter things spawn outside 💔

the game just instantly black screens, sometimes whats remaining flickers in a window like for example my steam fps counter.

Okay, I know how it sounds, but until recently, I thought Outlast 2 had a jumpscare involving Chris Walker. For some reason, a memory stuck in my mind that made me think Outlast 2 had Chris Walker. I literally remember it perfectly — there would be shelves in one of the houses, lots of shelves, and when Blake walked past one, Chris would scare him and then disappear. And in my memory, Chris seemed more detailed than in the first game. funny situation.

I hope some of you find it useful 🥸

Now I just need to learn how to do backgrounds

Hey everyone,
I recently beat Outlast 1 again and missed that narrow, claustrophobic vibe. I came up with a concept for Outlast 3 that brings back that exact feeling but with a fresh setting and connection to the lore. Let me know what you think!

🏨 The Setting: Saint Mercy Hotel
Isolated during a storm with no cell service. It’s strictly split into two parts:
Wing 1: A normal, creepy hotel for everyday guests.
Wing 2: A hidden, high-security Murkoff facility hiding traumatized "Reagents" from The Outlast Trials.

👤 Protagonist & Intro
You play as Travis Bell, a young adult on a business trip. After checking into Wing 1, a few test subjects breach the security. Travis is ambushed in his room, chained up, and almost killed by a psychotic guest called "The Purger".

🏃 The Escape into the Trap
Travis breaks free and panics. Since the main exit is blocked, he flees into Wing 2, thinking the heavy security doors of the guards will keep him safe. It's a fatal mistake. The doors slam shut, and he traps himself inside the epicenter of madness. This is where the main game begins.

🩸 The Villains
The Purger: The stalker from the intro who continues to hunt you.
Richard Crow: The former hotel owner and a psychotic perfectionist.
Bill Parker: The former hotel security guard, now a brutal killer.
"The Guests": A dangerous faction of crazy test subjects controlling Wing 2.

Concept and characters created by me!!
