okay to be very fair ive only seen it occur twice but thats still enough to grind my gears about it. i think the summary of it is like "max does not think meg, who is implied/coded/assumed to be autistic, is ready to be a superhero with her and surge" which just reads like a really really bad-faith argument to me.

theres nothing that implies max is barring meg from her heroism due to her autism (assuming she is autistic). you could argue its more subtle, but with how often brawl stars does things subtly (not very often) the likelihood of that actually being canon is very low. i would think youre just letting your headcanons take over your perception of characters (something i've seen happen WAY too many times in specifically brawl fandom).

you could also argue that it's less max being ableist and more the two of them being affected by an ableist system but at that point it would be more accurate to just say The system is being ableist. as opposed to one person affected by said system.

10/24/23: u/Laugh_Out_Loud on Reddit submitted this comprehensive post on what's currently interactive on the site. There are a total of eight interactive elements on the site: 4 small screens, 1 large screen, a logbook, a phone, and what appears to be a security tape archive. Details in the link. As of the writing of this post, the site still shows a login popup upon loading, and will not load if it is not filled in. No login has been found so far.

What's related is that a couple days prior to the 10/21/23 Brawl Talk, people on Twitter were posting about how the site domain had been renewed, and the HTTPS updated to be compatible with newer devices. (I'm not familiar with web design/science so bear with my shoddy terminology) Because of this, I'm chalking the current partially-inaccessible state of the new site up to HTTPS issues.

Things that could provide context:

Description refreshes for all characters were part of the Bizarre Circus update

The investor video and Season 3 Brawl Talk were deleted the day before they would be 3 years old. So potential retcon?

In the 10/21/23 Brawl Talk, there was a sudden jump cut to a shadowed figure watching the Brawl Talk from a screen. No explanation has been given.

In the same Brawl Talk, there is a brief moment where Piper's ingame model glitches out while discussing what to do for Mega Pig if you run out of tickets. In the same footage is a new background, with neon signs and a camera. The same camera is being offered as a player icon. No explanation has been given.

Current browsers that do not work (please help me modify these two lists!!!):

Firefox

Chrome

Browsers that do work!

@lesbiansurge mentioned that the investor video was deleted for contract expiry reasons, not retcons! thank you for posting this :D

New update brings the site officially to the app! It's accessed a lot like the now-ancient 8-Bit minigame— you tap on the camera element in the new UI, and it brings you to this screen.

If "Enter" is selected, a cool preloaded video cutscene plays and you're brought to the main UI of this new in-app ARG. There are a total of 6 interactables:

4 CCTV screens

Security tape archives

Security log

The CCTVs rotate through footage of various park locations rendered in 3D software: (slapshot list made by me late at night)

3 interior shots of Bull's diner from various angles.

3 (i believe) interior shots of the arcade; you can see 8-Bit style cabinets in the one I've inserted.

2 (i believe) shots of a beach-themed area. There were people sweeping the street in one of them.

1 shot of a bumper car attraction.

At least 5 exterior shots of the park itself; we can see the incredibly creepy crying logo fountain, the park entrance, and name 3 rides (Bumper Box, Rambler, Manic Panic).

The security tape archives has a short loading screen before it:

This, along with the security log, give us a concrete date!

The actual contents of the tape archives are currently very sparse. We have security tape archives and a time coder. What's interesting to note is that the time displayed appears to be real time— I'm GMT-5, so the time appears to be either GMT-4 or GMT+8. Nothing has appeared in the archive and numbers can't be keyed in for the time coder right now. No clue as to why certain fields are blurred out right now. I'm guessing that this is meant to be used for reviewing past footage like how people would scrub back/clip the WKBRL and Voice That Hears You streams.

Finally, the logs.

They start on November 2nd, 1995 if the dating goes DD/MM/YYYY, which means that Rik has been employed for 2 days as of the beginning. I'm guessing the dates are meant to sync up with IRL dates, since the ARG started 11/2/23. poor dude's gonna get his shit mixed.

Final notes:

The phone is currently not interactable
