#i'm so nerdy

[lizzy019]

Okay so if you're not interested in my GoBB theories, you can keep scrolling 🤭

OKAY SO I downloaded all the Garten of Banban games on my younger brother's PC (he doesn't know 0.0) and I've been noticing a lot of things.

In Chapter 1, there is this thing called "the crash", which happened on "Bring A Friend" Day. All the kids that are in the kindergarten are able to bring a sibling, friend, family member, whoever. All of this excess weight on the first floor caused Jumbo Josh to become overwhelmed, hence breaking the first floor.

This brings me to my first theory. If Bring A Friend Day wasn't that packed because there are very few kids in this kindergarten program, how could the floor have crashed?

Second theory, Jumbo Josh is giant, yes. But he doesn't seem to be able to be heavy enough to break any other floors below. So, I believe that maybe the first floor is overworked and old, but since the company is so in debt, they didn't have enough money to pay for repairs and ended up losing their top floor.

In Chapter 1, it is also made clear that Banban is actually Doctor Uthman Adam from his passport and ticket he used to travel from Montreal to wherever the company is located in Madrid, Spain. Here is the proof:

Now, in Chapter 2, we meet Zolphius and a lot of the main characters. We first interact with Nabnab and Banban, and there is a note that repeats "The spider is real."

This is written by a scared coworker who has witnessed Nabnab, and they seem to fear him greatly. (In all honesty, I would too lol)

But, I don't think Nabnab actually has any bad intentions. As it says on his mural art, "It's okay to have no friends and be miserable like me!", Nabnab seems to genuinely strive for friendship, but no one wants to be his friend because he's "scary".

This causes Nabnab to become hostile and aggressive towards everyone except for his friends, but even then sometimes he doesn't trust them. I think that's why he attacks us overhead when we're running away during the chase scene.

Then Banban comes along, he hits us behind the head and puts us in "surgery". But during said surgery, it only appears that in the room, we lay on a carpet and givanium is on the ground. I believe this was Banban's attempt to harm us, only to fail and flee.

The Captain Fiddles Floor is filled with only copies of Captain Fiddles, seven small ones and one giant one. Now, these creatures are described as "passive and docile" until the crash from Chapter 1 startled them into aggression.

That is where this note stems from:

So clearly these creatures are sensitive to frightening situations and react on instinct to protect themselves.

But my other theory is, why the hell are there guns in a kindergarten? Like, I know it's a whole facility and there may be the occasional whoopsie, but full on weapons and cannons? 0.0

Banbaleena also has this weird voiceline.

"No! Not again! I actually tried to be a good teacher this time!"

So, this is what it makes me think of. You know that one teacher that you absolutely hate(d) that just makes you rethink everything? Yeah, I think Banbaleena was that kind of teacher.

She's adamant, she's false happy, she's strict, she's overly dramatic. She's that one teacher than NO ONE likes, and that's why she uses inanimate objects as students because one, she lost all her actual students, and two, her actual students just didn't like her 0.0

Next, Chapter 3.

Okay, so this is when we first interact with Stinger Flynn and Nabnaleena. Now, while this chapter doesn't have very many secrets to look over, there still is the white room with hidden keycards.

The white room, in Stinger Flynn's "meditating room", has some interesting things.

In this room, there is a wall art of Chamataki and Tamataki with a whiteboard showing a rainbow DNA image with the words "Case 22, Genome Cloy".

Now, there is a paper that describes the genome cloy, and I'll summarize it here.

A genome cloy is where too many genome donors are given to one specimen, and the body of said specimen will go into a pure state of haze and berserk behaviour due to all the genetic diversity and mutation. During this, it is unsafe to hold one of these specimens in a kindergarten.

Now, this actually gives us a lot of useful information. It serves as why Chamataki and Tamataki in a certain tape shows them trying to tear themselves apart, simply because they are two different minds, two different animals reacting differently to this genome cloy.

Now, we have to talk about Stinger Flynn here.

So, already this stupid jellyfish is my favourite character. His smarts, his wit, his personality, his characteristics, everything.

But, he always seems to blame US for everything going wrong.

Sir, we didn't cause your first floor to crash- we didn't infuse you with givanium and tell you to kys-

Now, there are a LOT of images showing kids with Stinger Flynn, and it makes sense. Here are what most of them are:

Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4

Now, this kid often talks to their mother about these things, and due to the kid looking androgynous, they will be represented as "he" (just because, no I'm not being sexist). In the game, I actually think we play as the mother.

But, in Chapter 4, he also seems to blame us for his lack of strength when it was so clearly Sheriff Toadster?

Now, there's also a major secret in this chapter.

There is a hidden room in the Ventilation Sector. You have to go through Banban and Mr. Kabob Man's chase scene, finish the cutscene where Nabnab and Banban fight, and click Mr. Kabob Man's speaker for his iconic "Open Sesame!" for your secret keycard.

Now, this opens a room with some useless information, but it gives us some insight.

This is a room with a picture of Syringeon and some whiteboards with his information on it. But sadly, no paper was there to show anything else. It simply showed percentages of his survival rate during different situations.

But there are some tapes that show Toadster and Bittergiggle being forced to bow down to Bouncelia, and I presume this is when they first got together and truly followed the rules to avoid harm by the doctors studying them.

Now, there's also a few notes that show other doctors communicating with each other through those notes on the ground, and most of them seem old. So clearly their big plan was already put into action and was created.

A lot of people think Kittysaurus is a minor character, serving as only a boss to annoy the player. But, they actually some good background information that helps support character development.

It is known that Kittysaurus and Bittergiggle are very close friends because the giant feline appreciates Jester's jokes. In a sense, Kittysaurus was all Bittergiggle had to feel normal and accepted. So that's why you always see them together.

The fight in Chapter 4, the reunion in Chapter 6, they're very close friends and it serves as someone Bittergiggle is close to and cares about.

Now, Chapter 6 and 7 aren't very lore-packed like the other games. There are a few notes here and there, but none of them are important. Though, Chapter 7 offers some really good information in the beginning when Syringeon is talking to us.

He has a whiteboard showing all the characters that are alive, which include: Jumbo Josh, Sheriff Toadster, Zolphius, Syringeon, and a few others with question marks on their pictures to show that he's unsure if they're alive or not.

Back to the previous chapters, Chapter 2 holds a very specific point that I need to discuss.

When you get to the room where you meet Banban on the comms, you have to do a puzzle to get the keycard to enter the maintenance room.

However, there is a list of employee names on the wall, and the one with the gold star is named Weverly. Weverly is actually Ms. Mason. However, we don't know much about Ms. Mason except for the fact that she teaches the kindergarteners.

So, I believe the names on this list are also employees who work at the company who have either been killed or turned into givanium mutants.

Now, givanium is a major part of Garten of Banban. There are many notes that state how it works, why, what it does, etc etc. But there is one note in particular that really gets me nervous, and it's this one:

This is about the closet we'll get to a disloyal and worried coworker who genuinely believes what they're doing is wrong, and further proves that this company is getting more inhumane with their work.

Anyways, I love this game I'm sorry I had to ramble.

And this is the end of my theories :) Thanks for reading lol if you've made it this far, have some Banban

Hi - quick question about the Community Time Project fix: if the sim leaves around a very late time during the day (say close to 00:00) and while out on a community lot, it is already the next day morning that they come home; would it cause any problems with the time calculation? I always had some type of calculation issue with the unfixed version especially if the scenario was like the one I just mentioned here. Thanks!

Hello! By default, Chris Hatch's mod already accounted for day changes while away from a community lot, and it shouldn't cause trouble so long as you weren't away for multiple days.

Warning: The following section will be technical, because to explain why I think calculations won't be a problem at all, I will show how my fix calculates the time away from a community lot. It's based on what Chris did, but it received changes.

So before I delve in, here's a quick tl;dr: Time calculation works just fine. I use my mods myself, my Sims travel a lot and I have never had miscalculations since I used my own fix.

When a Sim leaves the community lot, the Token - Community Time receives the global values Day of Week (e.g. 0 = Monday), Hour (e.g. 7) and Minute (e.g. 45) that were in place when the Sim left.

When the home lot is loaded again, the real fun begins:

Step 1. The token's values are written to local variables within the Community Time Wait function, let's say A, B and C; and three more local variables get the current Day of Week, Hour and Minute at the home lot as well. Let's say Day of Week = 5 = Saturday, Hour = 23 and Minute = 58. These get written to D, E and F.

Thus, after this step: A = 0, B = 7, C = 45, D = 5, E = 23, F = 58.

Step 2. A, B and C are subtracted by the same values we put in D, E and F earlier, respectively.

After this step: A = -5, B = -16, C = -13.

Step 3. If C is below 0, then 60 is added to C and B is further subtracted by 1. Basically, imagine a clock - since the minute hand (C) went over a full hour, one extra hour is subtracted.

After this step: A = -5, B = -17, C = 47.

Step 4. If B is below 0, then 24 is added to B and A is further subtracted by 1. On the clock, the hour hand (B) went over a full day, so one extra day is subtracted.

After this step: A = -6, B = 7, C = 47.

Step 5. If A is below 0, add +7 to it. We went from Sunday to Monday - thus, a new week started in the game. The calculation needs to account for this, because otherwise Sims would stay away for negative six days, meaning they'd immediately come home.

After this step: A = 1, B = 7, C = 47.

Step 6. A is multiplied by 24. Then, A is added to B. Community Time doesn't display how many days it takes; it converts days to hours.

After this step: A = 24, B = 31, C = 47.

Step 7. Because of a quirk with Sims 2, we finally have to add 1 to D, and if that results in 7 we have to set D to 0. That's because, for some reason, while weeks start on Monday in the global Day of Week value, when you try to print the current day of week using the string substitution $DayLocal:X, the week suddenly starts on Sunday. Thus we have to account for that.

After this step: A = 24, B = 31, C = 47, D = 6, E = 23, F = 58.

And that's it, we now have the final values to initiate our countdown to get home. The final message displayed when the countdown starts will be:

John is due home at 7:45 on Monday Time Remaining: 31 Hours : 47 Minutes

I hope this gives insight into the inner workings of Community Time!

olympics coming up…… athlete aus on the mind….. satoru as a swimmer….. unreasonably large wingspan…. huge hands..... thinks “official” competitions and tournaments are boring because he can’t use the goofy purple googly eyes goggles he likes to practice in…… practices at ungodly hours solely because he likes when the pool is empty because that means you’ll dip your feet in at the edge and be there to greet him with a kiss when he’s finished his laps….. they bring up the stats board and it’s just his name ten times before the next fastest person and he could still lap them, and even tho he’ll always put so much pressure on himself to be the best, it’s worth it to have you hold his face and tell him you’re proud of him... he’s gotten so much merch from events and sponsorships and he used to think they just created clutter but that all changes when you start to wear his clothes (esp the ones with his name on it… he’s not proud to admit that does Something to him)…. always looks up to the stands when he finishes a race and if he knows you’re not there, he looks right at the camera, draws an infinity sign with his fingers, and blows a kiss (which, some commentators routinely call “unsportsmanlike conduct” but he doesn’t care, and always, publicly says he’ll pay the fees if it means blowing a kiss to his girl at home)

Im a little disappointed with how little Bryce Charles was in Nerdy Prudes Must Die.

I mean- they introduced her in nightmare time (she ate up axe man) where she only had a few minor roles.

But then in NPMD she was only a minor character again!

I just really hope she gets to pla-

OH FUCK YEAH

[somewhereincairparavel]

forever fuming that we never got jason's reaction to the knowledge that annabeth redesigned mount olympus. they deserved to geek over ancient architecture.

but it is canon that jason said he'd send over the blueprints of his minor temple mock designs to annabeth so she could check and help him with it so thats great but we deserved way more

It's kinda hilarious how the Lords in Black looked at Ted and went "yeah, no, fuck this one guy in particular" for no real discernible reason. Like, obviously, there's Tinky and his Spankoffski Poké Ball, but then there's Pokey who a) turned homeless!Ted immediately and then had him dance two feet away from his infected little brother and b) passes up on turning anyone with Join Us or Die solely to taunt/beat up Ted with his girlfriend and her husband. And! They all collectively agree that they're gonna try to make Grace/Steph/Peter all think that killing Pete is the way to go, even though they shouldn't really care whether Steph dies or Grace loses her [redacted] because they're all still "things they cherish the most". What the hell made these eldritch beings decide to fixate on fucking Ted of all people??

[alphazed]

Pete and Steph!! They are my favorites (excepting my other favorites) but don't tell anyone

I'm so proud of them and also of myself. it worked out so good ahsvsjs

Onto the next charachters i'm gonna draw
