@kas@enotty.dk, finally I found the time to look at these links. All these fucking websites are awesome. :D

After a long time without twtxt (the machine I had it running on died) I finally set it up again!

Dear lazyweb: what kind of electrical plugs would a house built in japan in 1939 have, assuming it was built out in the sticks? Would newly-built houses in the country generally be electrified at that time?

Walking through stopped time isn’t as easy as one would believe: Even if you have the gift, you must leave causality unbroken. You can only step sideways in time, go where your past steps could plausibly have taken you.

Reading the DomeKano manga, I keep running into stuff where it’s like, I don’t remember them happening in the anime but they must have, but at the same time I would have thought I would have remembered them. Maybe the constant bombshells produced twist fatigue.

WTF I guess Shudder forgot that daylight savings time is a thing? So, the Last Drive-In is actually at 10 PM ET instead of 9 PM?

so far i’ve devoted a lot more time to reading…

why did they call it ‘Web Prolog’ instead of ‘PlanNET’? was it just so that people couldn’t say ‘hack the PlanNET’ every time a vuln was found? that’s a bad reason.

History is the time-inverse of science fiction: While coming from different directions, both write fictional accounts that converge on the present, and both are inspired by facts but usually not true to them.

Reading computer history reminds me that there was a time in the 1950s and 1960s when ‘person does thing with computer’ was a standard slow-news-day template item instead of a business plan

I think the english dub might have contributed to Lain’s reputation as confusing. Rather than pacing their lines, the voice actors consistently adlibbed extra bullshit to fill time, introducing plotholes.

Saw a reply to one of my old posts after bypassing goatflare. I’d never heard of Balistos before. At least I don’t remember seeing it the first time around.

In the sunken and forgotten city, Senpai lies not dead but dreaming, as blissfully unaware of mankind’s rise above as that of other prior races. We have just begun to meddle in forces that may cause Senpai to notice us for the first time, and rise.

One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.

Watching these featurettes about Bandersnatch & the bits that they’re making out to be a big deal or super difficult are the ones I (and every other VN dev) do all the time. Meanwhile, they barely mention working with actors & shit.
