I got an event where, through several choices, the AI was inspired to write poetry after reading the cultural database. But it was so bad at it, it threw a temper tantrum and deleted not just its own poetry, but some of the stuff already in the database.

I'd love to read a book written off this premise? Any ideas?

Destination: Void is the closest one I can think of, and is more about a crew trying to upgrade their ship's AI into being capable of autonomous colonization.

LOL at survivors being picky about things like "outstanding ugliness." Earthlike temps, gravity, water, and rich resources, a some alien precursor poo poo to reverse engineer and they still complain.

Well, I arrived at a planet with like 79% technology remaining but the colonists ripped apart the seedship to build shuttles, go to the moon and bring back iron... which they then used to sink into a medieval technology level and just loving stay there forever. I had tons of cultural database and they learned from alien monuments but then it all built itself into an oppressive theocracy. Heck.

Welp found a way to break the game, reloading the page can reroll every single event except planet scans.

Niel Cicierega has made a browser game about putting Skeletons and Ghosts in your truck so you can mate them and sell their offspring.

Also I haven't played it myself but this AMERICAN MALL GAME seems to be making the rounds.

It's built as an accompaniment to a news article about the death of malls, but the game actively works against that agenda in a way they didn't intend. I was having trouble getting simple things to work, like randomly not getting feedback sometimes when clicking an empty store, or the notifications disappearing when I go to click on them, or no trash or rats of cyberpunks appearing in my mall but the bottom bar telling me to clear them anyways. I feel like bugs like that work against their message of "Even if you do everything right you can't win", because it feels like the game is bugged to the point of not letting you do things that seem "right". I liked the effort, though.
