[Batuu] is currently occupied by the First Order, but the Resistance has also set up a base in the very same outpost. That last part is kinda funny because of the proximity of the two organisations. So you have Kylo Ren's big ship, and periodically he will stomp out of it and he's like: "Where's the Resistance"? And Rey is straight up doing photo-op meet-and-greets like a block away. But that's Kylo Ren's problem: he's too focused on his work. If he went around the corner to get himself a hot dog wrap, he'd see the Millenium Falcon. It's parked in the middle of the street.
Alfred: What does this mean? I didn't even see it! I didn't even see it! I'm so-
Penny: I- I'm not even mad... because neither of us knew that shit was there.

"The attraction sucks because they forgot to get an animatronic before they opened it, but luckily, they were able to find one and didn't even have to worry about the obvious corpse inside. Remember when I said that FNAF people can't see a corpse even if its spitting in their face? Well, aside from Michael being walking, talking proof of that, Springtrap is housing William Afton's probably dead body and now he's trying to run you down because you just have such a hateable face."
Mark: I am showing you this because it will help you understand my slow descent into madness as I desperately search for a way out of this place, when it was, in fact, right in front of me all along. I am an idiot, and I have no justification for my actions. I am merely showing this to you so you further understand just how stupid I am. Beat Please enjoy.

Jon:Oh, no that just says 'Supply', I thought that was important!
— Many A True Nerd as he proceeds to spend the next hour ignoring supply crates and also complaining about the scarcity of health and ammo.
In this video Jon:
Looks directly at a crate with "supply" and pictures of bullets on them but decides it's not important.
Crouches into a vent that's blocked by an identical supply crate, breaks it and picks up the ammo and health it drops.
Says "supplies, I like supplies"
Picks up ammo from larger solid crates with similar pictures of bullets on them.
Watches an NPC say "take these supplies" before throwing a supply crate in front of him, which breaks and drops health and ammo that Jon picks up.
And despite all of this he doesn't realize that these crates that are everywhere contain health and ammo, and continues to walk past them.
Jon is the reason video game developers have to pay voice actors to say “there are supplies in those crates with ‘supplies’ written on them.”
