For anyone that's worried about me, don't I've found my escape.

Okay so Sam Sorenson and his hit squad are about to come after me because I talked about game stuff off the #over/under server. But I have to get the truth out now and correct the historical record. This is what actually happened.

A lot of cool stuff came out of #over/under, and I wanted to show off some of the cool art that came out of my minigames. I was honored to facilitate it, and delighted that I get to spotlight everyone's creativity.

It is amazing what humans can communicate with just a smidge of markdown. Reminds me of the ol' forum RP days.

This is really fucking bad. I'm about to experience whatever the opposite of ego death is

I literally almost had a panic attack between being warned of the hit and it actually happening. Heart pounding, sweaty palms, my little lizard brain thought I was actually going to die

Validating, certainly. On the denizen side I won't take credit for all of the ideas, but I do feel like I was the axis, and I tried to encourage people to Do Stuff.

It was exhausting but I (IC and OOC) felt like I was fighting for my people which made it worth it

I only regret not doing more RP

Too little too late, but I did really want to give the leads and you especially bonuses. Had it in the budget and everything, since your team was self-sustaining. Alas.

#OVER/UNDER feels a little like if Hypnospace Outlaw was massively multiplayer and full of murder

*George Lucas voice* beefstink is the key to all of this

(I'm not joking)

But it *does* feel like a reworking of cyberpunk for the 2020s: a vision of the future not as a unified aesthetic but as this crazed sensory overload, a hundred different stories and worlds fired at you at once, leaping between crassness and warmth, insincerity and sincerity.

She died as she lived: passive-aggressively telling people to file their notices to the correct departments

Damn, that shit sounds like it sucks. Glad I'm not there

See this is the shit I am talking about. People made jingles, songs, a full-on ode to one of the bosses, ads, videos, 3D models for Stratemeyer

And we were the *least* popular faction in #over/under

The creativity and dedication poured into making it real just astounds me.

Post on this tonight.

Based on my empirical statistical analysis she was, in fact, the best to ever do it

Dying in #Over/Under felt like getting unplugged from the Matrix
