Cragne Manor

Cragne Manor is a text adventure commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Michael Gentry's Anchorhead. It's also a huge, ridiculous experimental collaboration.

✑ The game was written and programmed by more than eighty authors.
✑ Each contributor was assigned one room.
✑ We didn't tell anybody what was going on in anybody else's room.

Your name is Naomi Cragne. Your husband is missing. That's why you're taking the train to Vermont, to look for him in his family's old mansion. You'll explore creepy environments, consult eldritch tomes, and solve bizarre puzzles as you search for Peter, but your surroundings, your past, and even your identity seem to change subtly—or dramatically—as you make your way through the town of Backwater and approach Cragne Manor.

Each location is a different author's take on a tribute to Anchorhead, or an original work of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, or a deconstruction of cosmic horror, or a gonzo parody of cosmic horror, or a parody of some other thing, or a portrait of life in Vermont, or a pure experiment in writing with Inform 7, or something else entirely. There are tons of puzzles. The puzzles get very weird.

Selflish plug.

I have some strange stories and lots of my photography.

Futility Closet

Here's something of mine: a little bit of entertainment, but so much more for learning - the lighting control firmware I work on - https://silvair.com/solutions/firmware/

Awesome Power 80s nostalgic videos, music and parody desktop OS in a web site. Take a look!

The Far Side website.

The publisher of Politico just launched a new tech news site called Protocol.

I haven't really checked it out beyond tagging a few articles to read later but it seems to be deeper and more long-form stories.

Live camera feeds of windows throughout the world.

Fake 80s computer desktop web site with great music.

Might have already been posted here, but worth repeating.

Been entertaining myself with these (extremely) random AI generated text adventures

Hey, I can already do that with Euro Truck Simulator 2.

This is something special. I don't want to say much more.

Sequel to 17776 has started if you liked that.

Damn it! Mine's out. Green dots all around, except mine!!! (Actually, I could care less. If I need my fix I go get a Blizzard at my local DQ.)

I'm am curious how this works though.

From the developer's twitter:

I reverse engineered mcdonald's internal api and I'm currently placing an order worth $18,752 every minute at every mcdonald's in the US to figure out which locations have a broken ice cream machine

While I have no love for McDonalds, as an api developer I cringe a bit at that.

How can they afford all that ice cream!?

The bot doesn't actually order the ice cream. It tries to add ice cream to a cart; if it succeeds, it knows the ice cream machine is working. Then it (presumably) removes the ice cream from its cart and terminates the connection.

It tries this with every store in the entire US, every thirty minutes. He was originally doing it every minute, but their bot-detectors went off. He backed off to 30 minutes, and it seems to be working.

Otherwise you'd see a lot of machines marked as "Working, but out of ice cream."

Sorry I forgot to put <jk></jk> tags around that.

Countdown to McDonalds changing the API to allow orders anywhere and inform actual customers when they arrive for pickup...

Kids and I had a lot of fun with this recently. It now includes a collection of festive songs for the season!

Hard disagree on touchscreen requirement. Was way more effective with a mouse.

Oh, nice to know! I thought multi-touch would be a requirement, but glad it works without it.
