Things that are fun can feel inappropriate to work into such a demanding line up. When I’ve got so much to do how can I justify spending my nights playing roleplaying games, watching youtube, listening to music, watching movies, or doing whatever else sort of mindless shutoffmybrain kind of thing keeps my sane after a day of doing all of those things?
It all feels a bit more reasonable when my hobbys are throw away brainless things, but recently I’ve gotten it in my head that it might be fun to develop a MUSH. It wouldn’t be all that complicated really, but I think it’s programmed in PERL, whatever in the hell that is.
It would take a night of earnest work to figure out I bet. Which isn’t so bad. But it feels a bit more like work than I can emotionally justify to myself, I think. Who knows.
Maybe I’ll go do that now, and you can all come play my MUSH.
It’s going to be set in New York City about 84 years in the future. 84 years because that’s 28 x 3. It’s 28 x 3 because the calendar repeats every 28 years. That means in 28 years February the 20th will be a Tuesday again, which seems convenient for roleplaying purposes.
The city will be flooded, but it’ll be alright.
A non-dystopian near-future sci-fi setting where people have troubles, just slightly different ones than we do. Different enough to be fun and not just depressing.
Because I’m a design and marketing dweeb I think of names before I actually tackle the project in earnest. That’s what I’m doing with the notebook project and it’s what I’ll do with the MUSH.
Antideluvian’s a cute name.
