    So far all I can say is I am very thankful that my previous reading lists included Michio Kaku and Richard Feynman.

    I went down a rabbit hole after reading this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathem...rse_hypothesis and haven't looked back since.
    Yeah I'm into that same stuff, theoretical physics , what is reality type stuff. But even having been exposed to that regularly, this book is still hard for me to comprehend. Maybe it's that I suck at math. Good for you though, that's awesome.

    It is fairly abstract but it's written from a personal narrative perspective, in terms of how he came to believe these things and how and why they support his theory.

    Which is to say, it isn't as dry as I expected. It's well written, especially for the subject/genre.

    But I'm only a few chapters in...

    You promise? I don't know, man. If I was the owner of some HVAC company and I got a phone call from Trent I'd be like "sure, your friends at 42entertainment can mess with our web site. Is this another ARG??"

    Forgive me if this has been answered, are the serial numbers from the label that also includes model number unique?

    Awesome. So that basically means we received our own unique Quick Reference Guide to Panel K, which means we all have a unique Panel K dedicated to us (or the people that purchased the PC).

    I doubt the final PC from the final trilogy will be a full blown working Panel K - that would seem to be quite expensive. But I could imagine us receiving the manual for operation and possibly a web based game that allowed us to use our own unique serial number to create simulations, maybe even those simulations will tie into the music and automatically remix them, depending on what settings you change or manipulate? That'd be cool.

    edit - upon 2nd thought, a web based game seems so 2003, maybe an app dedicated to it, I dunno.

    The jack has no electronics in it. In fact if you unscrew it, all that's in there is the rubber cord that goes on your keyring.

A Nine Inch Nails multiverse basically.
    Try listening to HTDA - Welcome Oblivion too. The lyrics are very close thematically and they DID cover HTDA songs on this recent wave....


    I don't know if you can hear me over this
    I don't know if you can hear the sound
    I don't know if you're aware of what's happening
    I don't know if you should stick around

    It's so perfect with a perfect kiss from your lips
    It's so perfect with a loving embrace
    You can't f*ck with the way of nature
    Everything is falling into place

    You know what you have done
    Welcome oblivion
    And this has just begun
    Welcome oblivion

    All the flashing lights take over
    All the pretty little dots make tracks
    Leading you to your place of deliverance
    And never look at what's behind the fear

    You know what you have done
    Welcome oblivion
    And this has just begun
    Welcome oblivion

    And I am not afraid
    And I am not afraid
    And I am not afraid
    And I am not afraid

    The bottom staple of my booklet didn't take, so it's only attached at the top.

    I got DEVIANCE, DISORDER, and AMPLIFY CHAOS. I thought I only got two and when I saw here there are three, so found it hiding in the sticker pocket.

    From what I can tell, the issue is ordering the PC with something else. The PC alone was sent brown envelope style, pre-sort standard 1st class in the US. Basically, a standalone PC has the stamp that mass-mailings have (junk-mail postage - no actual stamp; just ink printed on the corner). Ordering it with something else seems to be the problem, I guess. There's my 2 pennies, if that helps.

    Has anyone noticed that the SUBMISSION, MORALE, DISORDER, APPERCEPTION,ANXIETY, ... levels on the back cover are different from the ones on the PC sheet?

    Yes, I did. I even made a comparison but I forgot to upload it yet. Also lights are different.
    I was thinking About it and maybe it is because in "guide" There is default options set up. And in cover, There is picture of machine after someone used that.

    It is literally wired to nothing but the rubber cord.

    I will say it's a shame that the printing is as... fragile, as it is.

    Yeah mine started to get scratched after 3 days in my pocket so I took it off. Yours does have a cool TDS era "distressed" look to it though!

    I've been toying with the idea of using a plastic clearcoat to see if I can seal it. Think I might look into that now that it's a bit distressed.

    Yeah, no shit! I took my plug off of my keychain already because it looked just like yours and I only had it on there for a week. Pretty shitty quality. Once the logo wears off, I won't even want the damn thing anymore.

    They really should have debossed the logo into the thing.

    My logo only has a small scratch in the bottom-left corner under the N, when I got it I figured it wasn't going to last but put it on my keychain anyway.

    AHHH, and there we have it... the keychain is a connection to the "Broken" album, specifically the song "Last"... "This isn't meant to last... this is for - right - now!"

    This is said girlfriend in question. I bought a couple Pcs and got the same damn labels in all of them. I'm really looking for an Empathy label. Of anyone would like to trade I would really appreciate it. I'll totally cover shipping.
