It's incredible what you've done with this comments section
I briefly tried to get it to work on my Linux machine and it was an incomprehensible flashing mess hostile to human existence. Truly an adept satire of the corporate hell I live in. When did all the corporate suits start talking about the North Star so much, three different "thought leaders" have mentioned it in this one meeting I'm trying to avoid paying attention to.
Might as well lie here forever

I'm so glad this game exist as someone who did'nt know most of the scene it describe in the first part. Made me weirdly nostalgic of a time I never knew but encaption perfeectly the dread of seeing how internet change. I'm getting dizzy now so I can't checks for typos. Sorry. But thank you so much for this game.

This is just beautiful and, even though its eulogising something thats still dying infront of us, it gives me hope. So inspiring thank you ✨
