M-S plausibility: "leave this world with you". Obviously, we can’t know for sure what was in his mind, and theres still a lack of artefacts and evidence but this framing MIGHT help make sense of the NPC reference and the deliberate, game-like execution of his plan.

It may explain why his attack was very targeted, why NPC terminology exist, and it might even explain the bizzare "I have won/victory is everything". Also, we know that he was stopped by his older bro. There is a possibility he had a murder-suicide planned which may have been foiled then. (5/5)

This image displays black text on a plain white background. It is a screenshot from the Deep Dive article shared in the first post. The text is organized into three distinct sections, each presenting a line or phrase in Chinese characters followed by its English translation in parentheses.The first section reads:
"完全是我赢了! 没错! 是我! 赢了!"
"(I totally won! That's right! It's me! I won!)"The second section states:
"错的不是我, 是这个世界。"
"(It's not me who's wrong, it's this world.)"The third and final section says:
"我爱你 [受害者姓名已编辑] 我会和你一起离开这个世界不管付出多大的代价也没差在这世界胜利就是全部"
"(I love you, [Victim Name Redacted]. I will leave this world with you no matter how great the cost. In this world, victory is everything.)"

WHAT IF: He viewed his reality like some sort of "game", where his end goal or "quest objective" was to leave the world with the girl (as per his manifesto), and EVERYONE ELSE were just NPCs in his way? (4/5)

The facts are: he obtained the bowie knife and karambit months ahead, suggesting preplanning, and credible and corroborated eyewitness accounts showed he had a very purposeful/goal oriented behaviour, which was to get to the girl and not randomly stab everyone else. (3/5)

Had a robust discussion with the bf right before bed (well, he went to bed, im here typing this huhu), and something he said struck me: what if the NPC use wasnt MERELY dehumanising terminology, but a window into how he processed/saw the world? (2/5)

Been thinking abt this analysis by Munira about the Bandar Utama 4 school stabber and one thing that didn't quite make relevant sense was why the kid called others "NPC". (This is a bloody excellent analysis btw!) (1/5)

I yearn for the noughties where we, the denizens of the internets, would performatively bemoan our lives and NOT actually become the nihilists we so often declared ourselves to be. These days, actual nihilists are going to be the literal death of us all, what with their manosphere shit and all

I could also write about the recent spate of rapes and deaths of young girls at the hands of boys (Malaysia) but I am feeling too emotionally upset to pen my thoughts in a more cogent, structured manner. We need to strongly address online misogyny & manosphere shit but our govts are doing fuck all

Bro, you cook really wonderful, amazing, tasty and skillfully prepared dishes... you kept the pricing so low for people like me and the elderly around... thank you for this, truly. I'm getting emotional at fking 4 am thinking about exquisitely-cooked cai png wtf...

Perspicatcity @perspicatcity.bsky.social · 4d

Dude is out here selling literally the best tasting veggies and perfectly-cooked tender and silky chicken meat that it just boggles my mind how he kept prices so low. If I werent struggling for money I would spend $15+ at his stall every day. But no, my daily meals are under $6 😣

I truly hated myself at that moment because I KNOW how such a way of cooking showed so much fucking care, attention AND SKILL, but my stupid body simply couldn't appreciate it (fuck you, tism) and just rejected the texture. Thankfully the bf was there to eat my food

Yest evening I took soy sauce chicken and I was so confused and thought it wasn't chicken, but a weird mushroom because the goddamned texture was silky smooth. I hated it cos it felt like fat but it's literally a top tier, perfect way to cook chicken meat.
