Volume 1 (Remastered)

Mandela Catalyst

Presto

It may be nothing, but these faces remind me SO much of the “you are an idiot” trojan virus that became mainstream in the late 1990’s after it was anonymously published as a form of scareware. 

the reason i think is even remotely relevant is because MandelaTECH seems almost perfect for the era and line of profession the virus became well known in, and the whole purpose of the virus was to directly mock those who would download it, which in my eyes is very reminiscent of the direct messages we see in the tampered tapes (seemingly left by the alternates) to mock their victims.

I obviously have no idea if this was intended by Alex or not and might be easily clutching at straws but.. fun to think about.

edit: made some whoopsie daisies in the whole background about you are an idiot, sorry!! i advise for you to look into it better than me </3
