Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The world-building in that narrative thread is extremely chewy. :D
Because of the silo-ed nature of the OCP bureaucracy, no-one really knows how many times that the world has been destroyed and re-built. :D

@cstross
There's another good example in The Secret World :D
https://www.secretworldlegends.com/
It's an early and ongoing experiment in machinima that stands out as being one of the few MMO's that was publicly LBTQ+ friendly. :D
It is known from interviews that some of the writers are fans of @cstross as is evidenced by the world-building for the main story arc. :D
@Dtl @dgerard @mii @cstross
The game mechanics are similar to most tactical MMORPG's, but it's the quality of the storytelling that stands out. :D
In the first section that you are sent to explore, the player is acting as an investigator/cleaner in an HP Lovecraft story. :D
What is also interesting from the pov of gameplay, is that you can only make some of the choices once in the main story arc. :D
Want to make different choices, you have to start again with a new character. :D
