YARD_SALE.pfx

Hello one and all.


In lieu of our building shutdown, we have a ton of excess stuff that we don't need, and you probably would benefit from.


Instead of selling direct to individuals or trying to list everything on ebay, the one and true method is at hand: a really really big Yard Sale™.


Many, many things are up for sale at deeply-discounted values, and will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Supplies are limited! Get em' while they last!


Highlights include:


  • Most if not all the components of a full-service scenic shop.
    • 3D Printers (oooh!)
    • Saw Stops (ahhh!)
    • and much, much more!
  • Most if not all the components of a live event production company.
    • Behringer X32 Digital Mixing console and snakes (oooh!)
    •  CHAUVET DJ Intimidator Spot 360, along with mounting trusses (ahhh!)
    • and much, much more!
  • Seven years of aggregated props, wardrobe, and various event elements.
    • Vintage, Out-of-print Party City musketeer tabardss (oooh!)
    • Custom dressed prop weapons, and potted plants (ahhh!)
    • and much, much more!
  • Various furniture and scenic things

    • A4 Paper reams (ahhh!)
    • and much, much more!
  • A host of other things...
    • Big setpiece props that we don't want to just throw out (oooh!)
    • Wireless Headsets (ahhhh!)
    • and much, much more!
  • FREE STUFF
    • Scrap Wood

Price & Payment

All items will be priced at point of sale. We accept cash, check, paypal, and will try to get a square reader to work properly for debit/credit purchases.

We DO NOT accept Venmo, Cashapp, Bitcoin, or Patreon Subscriptions.

All sales are, naturally, final.

I want to call/email/text ahead and get stuff before somebody else because-

no. no you can not. Yard Sale or bust. If there is anything left at the end of Yard Sale, and you were unable to make it, check back on this site for details on remaining elements.

Shipping/Transportation/etc.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any vehicles or labor to assist in getting things you buy to where you'd like to keep them. If you're planning on purchasing anything you can't carry on the subway, bringing a suitable transportation vehicle is advised. We have no problem setting things aside for a later pickup, as long as it is before November 13th.




We look forward to seeing you at the site of our untimely doom. Good hunting!


Love,


Future Proof

This is what a newsletter looks like, but all the other content is only available if you...

Now for those of you reading this with an account....


Our Social Media is Broken.

Our Social Media is Broken.

Hello again, long time no see!


It's been a banner year for Future Proof, full of excitement, intrigue, loot boxes, and grand openings! As part of all our releases, we've been posting content on the social media platforms you know and love, and celebrating the wins of our partner productions as well as...


I'm proud of what we've built so far and excited about what comes next...
- Mark Zuckerberg, 2021

So.


um.


It turns out.


We actually have not been doing that.


We um. Our um. Our social media system kind of totally broke.


Without getting into too much detail (mostly to save your sanity), this was the result of many, many factors over the last year all piling up on top of each other in a glorious mound of oh noes. Highlights include:


  • Facebook changing to Meta and detonating all of their customer support.
  • Meta business suite overhauling the back end to become intensely user-unfriendly.
  • Constant changes to feature sets we had integrations for getting quietly undermined.
  • Every platform falling over themselves to become TikTok, making pre-scheduled content break.
  • Capitalism.

Now, we could go on a massive tirade about Faceb-META, WHICH IS THE BEST AND ONLY NAME. But that's a story for another time. Most of these things are just a sign of changing times in the digital landscape, and in this age it's all evolve-or-die. To be honest, we got sloppy, and now we are paying the price...


... is what we WOULD SAY if these platforms had accessible customer support. Facebo-META and all subsidiaries no longer have that. Instead, it is a Kafkaesque nightmare from which there is no escape. Believe us when we tell you that we have tried everything to fix this mess.


We tried. We failed. We are throwing in the towel.


Our current social media landscape is so badly broken that we really only have one recourse available to us: In order to begin anew, we must destroy the old.


Social media content and advertising is not only important for any business, but a fundamental part of our ethos as a company. Making this call was not an easy one, but incredibly necessary.


Since we save and backup everything, fortunately nothing will be lost. However, for some platforms we will have to wipe all history, and rebuild our userbase from scratch. As not-cool as this is, we think everybody will enjoy hearing from Future Proof every once in awhile, and getting to be a part of the cool stuff we do!


Without further ado, here is the 2022 damage report for Future Proof social media:

FUTUREPROOF.SITE

Thankfully, still functional.


This is our main hub for updates, information, and cool stuff, constantly growing in new and exciting ways.


We resolved some issues with our site hosting earlier this year and finally got an ssl certificate to remove the barrier to entry that made our site look like malware. We still do not have a www. in our site address, and given the way most browsers work these days, we will be adding a redirect soon for quality-of-life.


We also had some serious issues with posting a series of lovely articles about our past history. We're rebuilding parts of the site to make these and future bits of content like them more accessible.


MAILING LIST

By popular demand, we're adding one in the next couple of weeks. Updates soon to come.


FACEBOOK

Must be merged with a new page. We have started the timer. If you'd like to follow us on Facebook, this is our home: Future Proof Facebook.


In light of many changes to the platform, audience response, and our opinions of the parent-company as a whole with regards to this social media...thing, we will be dialing back the amount of content on Facebook. We will still use it as a community billboard for major updates, and possibly for future online content, but this is no longer our primary channel.


INSTAGRAM

Our old Instagram is completely inaccessible and will be taken down within the next month. Our new Instagram is here.


Opinions of Fac-META notwithstanding, Instagram is still (kinda) fun! We like Instagram, and a lot of you do too. We will be much more active as a company on this channel than we have in ages past.


TWITTER

We have access again. Twitter is here.


Twitter is an interesting beast as a company - Brand twitter is a real thing and very cringe, and we don't want to be that. What we do with twitter is still up in the air, and for now it's just a platform to link to site updates. We've got a couple fun ideas, check back in the future...


YOUTUBE

Still kicking!


We learned some very hard lessons with how YouTube wants video files in the last year, and now have a much better workflow for making content that doesn't look like a potato. To be honest, we have no ambitions of being a channel or acquiring monetization in the YouTube sphere - we just use it to host video for other sites. That said, we're producing a lot of other bits as part of our BTS division, as well as upcoming releases. Stay tuned...

Ok, this is just shameless hype once again for the two fantastic productions sharing our space:


That's all the news that's fit to print for now! We're back online, fully-operational, and excited to properly engage with the internet!

TL;DR: Stuff broke. We fixed it. Everything's good.

WE'RE OPEN!

WE'RE OPEN!

At long last, after much time and deliberation, Future Proof HQ is officially up and running as of last Friday! We would like to extend a sincere congratulations to our two hosted productions on a fantastic opening weekend:


The Art of 'Killin It

A BIPOC-Produced Immersive Murder Mystery Comedy where guests must follow the clues and discover "who done it?" Brought to you by TheyGotTime Productions, with a myriad of unpredictable endings, an emphasis on BIPOC Joy, and an opportunity to give local BIPOC artists a place to flourish, The Art of Killin’ It breaks the mold!


Heresy: 1897

The first chapter in Doors of Divergence's "Book of Three Keys" narrative arc, a branching-path immersive-based next-generation experience rooted in the Escape Room Tradition. Folks are doing Alchemy, summoning Demons, and winning Achievements by the day!



Words cannot express how incredible these shows are, and the incredible amounts of labor and love that went in to making these ideas real. Both productions have created truly unique works of immersive art that we are excited to share with the world.

Forgive the obligatory pat on the back, but further congratulations are in order to all the core staff at Future Proof proper; we have constructed a new immersive hub in Brooklyn, and it looks and feels amazing.

Suffice to say if you haven't come by already, what are you waiting for?! Get yourself and your friends together, grab some tickets, and come see the beginning of something new and truly special!



Come on Down! We. Are. Open. For. Business!

That's all for now, stay tuned for more in the near future...

The time is upon us! Tickets are up and live for both of our two hosted productions!

We are proud to host both of these fabulous productions, and hope you'll stop by and check them out at our NEW BUILDING THAT IS REAL AND WE ARE OPENING IN MERE WEEKS!

Yes. We are not joking. We have a building. It is full of immersive things. You should come check it out. On around... say.... June 9th or June 10th.

Happy Friday, friends! Another Loot Box has arrived, with a fresh batch of sweet, sweet content. This one looks to be a green-tier, which would normally be less potentially exciting than a purple-tier...


EXCEPT THIS IS ARBOR DAY!


Our Behind-The-Scenes team made this loving tribute to this most wonderful of holidays, now available for all to enjoy!



It turns out the random-reward gods favor BTS this week, as bio entries for both Jordan and Peter, our two-man BTS powerhouse team. Check out their wonderful origin stories over at the staff page!



While the Arbor Day special is a truly Future-Proof style and format, Jordan and Peter are currently building out a longform series of actual BTS content for our partners over at Doorways of Divergence. If you want to see how the magic happens from start to finish on a groundbreaking immersive escape room, nothing beats the unique inter-dimensional saga we have documented and are now unleashing into the wild.


Catch up now on their youtube channel, and keep an eye out on facebook and such. Things are about to get weird...



That's all for this box. Stay tuned for more, and pray to the lords of RNG!

Hello one and all, and happy Arbor Day!


Our Behind-The-Scenes team spends most days hard at work producing content for Doors of Divergence, but as a favorite holiday, we decided to cook up the first of our official Future Proof Behind The Scenes specials!


Ok, so technically this tape was pulled off one of our dustier shelves, so the quality is a bit rough, but after countless hours of restoration and remastering we have the tape ready to go!

Hello World!


It's been a while, and we promise we've been hard at work! Here at Future Proof, we believe in keeping up not just with the trends of the times, but further with the formats of the modern era. In that spirit, we are proud to announce our new LOOT BOX program!


Every week, we will release a new container of content, randomly selected from a curated spreadsheet of things we know the world will love. These items may include:

—> Updates and content to futureproof.site
—> Cosmetic upgrades for digital use (100% NFT-free!)
—> Exclusive BTS media from deep within our vaults
—> Additional features and gimmicks
—> And Much, Much More!



To demonstrate the marvels of this feature, let's take a look at what today's box (a medium-rare Purple!) has inside:
