(yes, I know the "fire linking" thing is Dark Souls, not Elden Ring, but c'mon, it's right there)

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

A much more ambitious project than my own Escape From Scary Devil Monastery, to be sure.

True fact: I originally heard about Undocumented Features because someone
recommended it as late night NOC shift reading in the scary devil monastery.

All the music is autoplaying MIDIs.

It's not exactly this, but perhaps take a look at Hypnospace Outlaw if you have any nostalgia for this particular era of the old web.

TBH, I have the exact opposite of nostalgia for that era of the Web. :)

Any nostalgia I had crawled back under its rock looking at the screenshots. A lot of it lingers on in the Internet Archive, waiting for some crypto-historian of a future digital era to stumble into the madness of an older, wilder age.

When released from their slumber, the blink tags will blot out the sun. (But only intermittently.)

To be fair, the screenshots are kind of like those interference pattern videos - they look like absolute garbage, but when you see it in motion, things make sense.

That said, it’s very much a game that is neck deep in The Aesthetic and if you don’t jive with that, there’s really no saving it for you.

Recording character voices for Souls games must be the weirdest experience. There you are in the recording booth, a professional at work: "Oof! Urgh! GHAAAUUGHGHHHGhkkhkkkk. AAAUGH!!!"

I wonder if the directors ask for a lot of retakes. "I'm not really feeling the evisceration, Dave."
