Recent unproductive rabbitholes.
Jun. 23rd, 2012 07:39 pm* Trying to get a functioning tamped-down-type Dwarf Fortress (no aboveground contact). Progress is slow due to huge irritating migrant waves, requiring more wood than my subterranean farms are yet producing. I should just lock them out and let them starve.
* The SCP Foundation, a series of horror/fantasy/sci-fi stories in the form of wiki entries describing strange objects/people that the Foundation is keeping contained for the good of mankind; SCP stands for Special Containment Procedures. These are my favorites:
SCP-173 - A statue. This was the first one and is the most-linked-to; I found it on Reddit week-before-last, and promptly spent the rest of the evening clicking around. No one on the whole internet knows where that picture actually came from.
SCP-962 - A tower.
SCP-426 - A toaster.
SCP-701 - A Caroline-era revenge tragedy in five acts.
SCP-455 - A shipwreck.
SCP-662 - A bell.
SCP-453 - A night club.
SCP-1981 - A tape of a Ronald Reagan speech.
SCP-1867 - A sea slug.
SCP-1733 - A tape of a basketball game.
SCP-___-J - A rock.
SCP-093 - A thing that sits on a mirror. This one includes an unusually long narrative about the exploration of an alternate reality; very good, but I feel like it needs to be either edited down a lot or fifty pages longer.
SCP-682 - A very mean lizard who is the protagonist of the wiki. The page detailing all the attempts to kill it is funny.
