What kind of hellmouth of alternate dimension has pear computers running with viewports 8?

If the IT threads in here are any indication, it's not that uncommon.

I don't know, that sounds much better than having my rear end on a chair all day, everyday.

I would have packed a lunch and some snacks, though, plus a few packs of Duracells made in this decade at least.

I was going to jokingly post that Markku is the worst urbexer there is, but then he almost blew the place up.

It was also very fortunate that the one of the few things that were working was the emergency stop button.

The final set of offices- you may have noticed a set of different charts with numbers and letters in them (one at ~35:30 and iirc some others somewhere else in the office). Give them a closer look; they're one of the nastier puzzles in the ARG I was working on when real life picked up and I had to step away.

As far as I can tell from discussing it with other players, you used all the known numbers at the phone.

Were the websites shown in the water treatment plant computer ever a thing that was accessible while the ARG was going on? I tried accessing them but, naturally, they were offline.

I didn't look too deeply but the flag can be either Lesotho (but the colors are in the wrong order, the bell is missing and the white band is of the wrong size), Sierra Leone (but the colors are darker than the actual flag, and the white band is of the wrong size), or UAE (but I don't think it has the red stripe, the bottom color is dark blue instead of black, and the white band is also of the wrong size).

So when you were powering the castle stuff were you de-powering the houses? If you went back to the party house would they be there, cheering in the dark.

Party house has a generator of their own, so they should be fine.

I'm really glad Mark's coworkers all had horror stories. It helps enforce the suspension of disbelief for me: they're all actually civil engineer Terminators, risking life and limb to inspect and repair thge crumbling metropolis, while dealing with corruption, mushrooms and Teddy bears. Sure, Mark's had the worst day by far (e.g. caught in an exploding power plant) but it could have happened to any of them, and they all would have survived it.

It's like playing a James Bond game and talking to the other 00 agents about their top secret, globetrotting missions.

Maybe we were The Engineer all along

Was it a core breach that was happening at that time? Hard to ask for it to stop getting warmer when you were listening to a plot dump.

You can do it if you are the game developer.

Thanks for the LP!

I think the biggest thing I would change in the game would be to not have the Markku's Journey of Getting Back to the Office and just do more self-contained maps that you could go back and forth, or maybe have various days where the set of maps that you could tackle change based on the current day or something like that.

Another thing is that I felt a lot like we weren't making any progress, especially when we were anywhere underground. It just felt like an endless tunnel after the other...

As it is, though, it's still very interesting and different, and I'm glad it exists.
