It's a 40%. You don't need to make room.

Good point. I guess I can never afford a 40% then, I don't have enough room to fit the majestic aura inside as well. 😅

This is exactly how I imagine the house of someone that uses a 40% — there’s minimal, and then there’s minimal

Entity 4040.

Entity 4040 is a presumably inanimate object. It appears to be a keyboard, most of the time mechanical, with RGB

Interaction with the entity is heavily discouraged, as some wanderers who happened to touch it and even connect it to one of their devices reportedly began following a cult with two gods they refer to as "Clack" and "Thock". This has been labelled by the M. E. G. as the "4040 cult following" which is consistently growing due to the large amount of wanderers unbeknowingly coming in contact with the entity

Additionally, the keyboard may be rigged with something "4040 cult" followers have called "blue switches" which have been deemed "perfect for typing at a library". Despite this claim, activating the keyboard's keys is not recommended, as the noise from these "blue switches" happens to be loud enough and may attract nearby entities, sometimes also causing hearing loss to the unsuspecting wanderer

Incident 23852

One severe case involved of "4040 cult following" involved a wanderer attacking another wanderer in front of an M. E. G member, breaking their ribs by repeatedly hitting them in the back, then screaming "where's the thock?!". The attacking wanderer then proceeded to scratch the skin off the victim's back and stab it with a brush coated with some slicky substance the cult follower referred to as "Krytox 205g0" because "his back was too scratchy" and did not have enough "thock". After this act was finished, the attacker produced a sheet of foam from their pockets and proceeded to line the wound with it, exclaiming that "there is too much twang from the noise spreading from the plate to the PCB" and after the lining was finished, once again beat up the now presumably dead victim once again and screamed "Finally! Thock" and ran off to never be found or heard of again.

Entity 4040A and 4040B controversy

Some M. E. G members have repported seeing, often at a distance and in conditions where it seemed more like a hallucination, an entity with a brush and a keyboard in hand, much resembling an Insanity or Skin Stealer due to the humanoid but dismembered and threatening look. (4040A) Others have seen similar monsters with stabbing wounds and pieces of foam, as well as other technology or materials, including household tape, sticking out of their backs. (4040B) Interaction with the former has never been established nor attempted, but is presumably dangerous and the mechanicsm through which other entities are turned into 4040B could be entity 4040A's attack. A singular interaction with 4040B has been established, but bizarrely enough, the entity did not do anything but produce strange clicky sounds.

Despite this evidence, 4040A and 4040B are not unanimously considered entities, since they are, by some, presumed to be mangled and injured versions of other entities, and the fact that they appear systematically may simply be a result of "cult 4040" being a systematic and systemic ocurrence that stems from wanderers being unwary of what looks to be an innocent looking keyboard.

Do's

- Discourage other wanderers from touching or inspecting the entity.

- Report all sightings of entity 4040 to M. E. G agents.

Don't's

- Touch the entity, more specifically, press on any of the keys.

- Use the words "clack" or "thock" with other wanderers, as this may provoke dangerous interest towards "cult 4040"

That's right.... place it on the floor..... walk slowly away.... back up the stairs.... off with the light... now close the door slowly... but firmly. Lock it.

Now go and buy a 75% and never do this again.
