Delta Green and some mythos stuff

Saw the phrase "massive pyramid-shaped structure"... so, "a pyramid," then. The shape kind of defines them.

I like to collect headlines that read like a time traveler’s last desperate gambit at fixing reality

Apparently real and it happened in Whanganui:

The Herald story is 10 years old and ends with a plea for more information about the incident - nobody seems to know what became of the young man in question, which fits with the desperate time-traveller theory.

It seems that he didn’t just ask them to play “The Rainbow Connection,” he wanted them to loop it for 12 hours.

A radio station, Florida, I think, changed its format to all Led Zepp, and they began programming by playing “Stairway To Heaven” for 24 hours straight.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
