This was great. Cosmic horror but still oh-so human. Highly recommend!

Tonight’s book is “There Is No Antimemetics Division” by qntm. This is my first foray into their work. I’ve also only ever dabbled in SCP Foundation content, so I’m very interested to find out if this book holds up for those of us unfamiliar with the source material.

For the first and last time, presenting SLT6: Desi of #OVER/UNDER. She was a real one!

It’s finally over! 30 days of #OVER/UNDER and I truly do feel experimented upon (in the best way) by the crazy folks who thought this thing up. What an incredible journey. Give me a few days for the return trip to Earth and I might be able to write about the experience. For now? Dream on, Denizens!

Hundreds are still hopelessly addicted to the slicksim #over/under , drooling away their lives in pod arcades while family and loved ones weep. Minders have been hired to persuade them to leave but the most successful method is in-game assassination, a violent but effective way of waking a dreamer.

In my mind, the natural follow-up to reading The Freeze-Frame Revolution is watching Aniara (2018). Bleak, existential, and deeply haunting, it explores a lot of the themes found in Freeze-Frame, but from an opposing perspective. I love revisiting this one.

Permutation City by Greg Egan asks a lot of very important questions - namely, “what would you do if your world was a cellular simulation?” and “what if the digital copy you made of yourself really fucking hates you?”

would it be #OVER/UNDER if an opportunity seen was not an opportunity taken? throwback to early game and grash uppem’s first beetle battle

Moments that changed my character’s trajectory in #OVER/UNDER: an hour and a half long tarot card reading from the High Seer while standing guard at the Solarian Conclave. The game ends in a few days, but Desi is a Solarian for the rest of her life in my heart!

Last night I read “The Freeze-Frame Revolution” by Peter Watts, and I’m still reeling from it a day later. My mind is lost in deep time with the crew of the Eriophora, building the galactic superhighway until heat death. Instant favourite.

#OVER/UNDER update: so many things to talk about, no idea where to start! My journey so far includes: - becoming a Tempest squad leader - fighting a rat king - paying a human man 20 creds to battle beetles (and lose) - scoring the most homeruns this season in GravBall - learning to bake brioche

The #over/under fever has been possessing me, it will only break once I’ve mapped the entire station I think, or I explode…anyways heres my latest batch of pieces. 🫡

I just finished a reread of ROSE/HOUSE. A beautiful and eerie read for October!

Need a "I played #over/under and all I got was whacked off" t-shirt

This day in #OVER/UNDER has been thirty days actually

I don't really feel like I am "playing" #over/under (even though I am). It feels like going and being a part of a journey, and that's why I have real human dreams about it AND ALSO this is on top of a wargame, conflicting incentives, incredible RP, etc

#OVER/UNDER has taken over my life to the extent that I felt compelled to make this account in order to keep up with all the brilliant, hilarious, creative folks the game has ALSO subsumed. All for the Dream, baby!
