(so i realised that i'm kinda quietly following my own set of rules for how i play 1st prize without ever actually. explaining them like at all lol. to be clear, this isn't me demanding "everyone who roleplays with me MUST follow these rules OR ELSE!!!!1!111!" - you can post whatever you damn well please on your own blog! this is just how i personally like to play 1st prize/think of the setting surrounding it, and thought it might be helpful/mildly interesting to explain :) so basically;

since in-universe the game was seemingly released in 1999, I have limited myself to only ever mentioning things that existed in that time period. 1st Prize doesn't know about the existence of anything beyond the year 2000. I have been very brave by not shoehorning in Crash Bandicoot

This is more veering into headcanon territory, but I think in-universe, the Baldi's Basics schoolhouse/world is perpetually stuck in 1999. Time cannot meaningfully progress. 1st Prize is worried about the Y2K Bug, but that day will never arrive because 1999 will never end. Yay time loop :D

i've touched on this before but i see 1st prize as being something of a school mascot/unofficial school counselor. I know some people think of it as a student, but I personally don't. It's the computer 🤖
