not sure if anyone here is interested in unfiction stories or ARGs, but I stumbled on this Cave Story-based YouTube series a few days ago (both the videos and the community/posts tab contain story elements).

it's a bit early going, and it dosn't seem like its creator has really settled on much of a "direction" yet, but it's premise seems interesting enough to take a look.

my take on the story; minor spoilers

it seems to be another go at the ghost in the machine (sentient AI) trope. with some unknown character/group developing and testing player AI and level generation algorithms using Cave Story as an environment (for some reason).

although this story comes at it from the angle of our host character (610) seemingly being one of the "ghost"s, rather than a third party (or just the antagonist) like these series usually get.

    man, so... I just want to appreciate the kind of community/culture that that's been cultivated here (and, to some extent, the wider furry community) at thos point in time. it's easy to take for granted the type and the quality of engagement we get in comments on posts and around the site, when you going elsewhere and so much of discussion online is just streams of noisey, memey, rude, thoughtless nonsense that drowns out and/or kills attemps at normal conversation.
