I’m going to paint you a picture of modern communication, and how it is fundamentally broken.
Let’s look at one friend. You chat pretty much everyday, and mostly talk to this person on twitter and discord, with occasional tumblr DMs. That’s three places you talk. But that’s actually not true, because you also have each other’s priv twitters and talk there as well. That’s four. Now account for, let’s say, one post reply per account per person, in addition to your DMs. That’s eight. But that’s ALSO not true, because not only do you talk in discord DMs with each other, but you’re in a friend group server as well! And you talk in those channels together! That’s nine.
This is one friend.
Now look around you. How many friends, how many mutuals are you in contact with. A few, a handful, a dozen, more? How many accounts per person do you have, how many places can you send each other posts, devolve into separate topics and conversations? How many people text you as well. Friends, family, coworkers? What do you do day to day around catching up, what IRL commitments will rip you away long enough to let the pile build again?
I can’t do it. I cannot live an actual life in the real world and balance this much interaction, it’s crushing. I reply to a friend’s post because I’m interested in the subject, I want to have a discussion! I WANT to talk about it with them, but I immediately kick myself for adding another conversation to the pile. Day by day, I ignore messages for hours on end and watch mountains pile around me, to reply en masse at the end of the night to let the cycle repeat. I wake up to six discord DMs and as I clear the third, the first replies back again.
We weren’t meant to have thirty simultaneous conversations. We weren’t. And you know in your bones that the number isn’t an exaggeration.

Personal headcanon that I think is implied a little bit in the game is that you, Alex Winston, have some sort of beef with Patrick Bannon
Like we already know for one Patrick would be anything but kind to other staff, let alone the janitor turned broadcaster out of nowhere
And you know how the Lockdown being Alex's dream kind of reflects their own experiences right?
A lyric from Mr Bear implies that they might've wanted to be a news anchor before being forced to settle as Channel 1's janitor
Perhaps someone like that could be jealous of the fact that someone like Patrick made it on the big screen because nepotism
Also Patrick literally dies in your dream followed with a quote from Jeremy implying spite. "Thank you Patrick for that report! Showing the nation, and more importantly management, just where you belong!" Like damn we really want this guy dead
My personal favorite part of this headcanon though: this challenge room reward
Is this yours? Is this the entirety of Channel 1's? Who knows! But it just happens to be in your room for stress relief
There's also Live and Spooky where canonically, you don't follow the instructions and derrail the show (or else you'd all die). How could you have known the Costume Room was the perfect last stop? Maybe you just wanted to shit on the show and by extension shit on Patrick Bannon
Anyways not to say it's canon because Alex is you and you're whatever you wanna be but you being Patrick's No. 1 Hater isn't super far from canon is all I'm saying

we need a good old fashioned “don’t stop the party” edit, ya know, like good old days.
my personal thoughts under cut.
i want to note:
not a problem at all that they came to the public first! just- it’s the way they responded to people saying “he doesn’t use twt” that got me. i don’t know man- like he’s absolutely in the wrong cause i’m sure he’s seen the information. but like- not emailing him feels like a such a strange decision? i dunno man- what do i know, i’m uneducated in these matters
