i accidentally wrote a wrong code (initially i wanted to write the one that corresponds to the v2), didn't manage to fix it in time, and then you delivered one of the hardest pics ever

you're doing a very good job so far; i really like this quest
if it's plot won't turn out as a regular story that could've happened in real life but with fancy skin, this might be a 10/10 imo

D7ud0Rll6PaQ does correspond to V2. I actually misspelled it in >>1118220. I've been using leetspeak in combination with code words inserted into the memory IDs to try to remember them better, so I wrote Dtud0Rll6PaQ by accident.

Quite an amount of work and research you put into making this quest. I am impressed!

What inspired you to make it, as well as center it around software's perspective?

The inspiration is very hard to pin down. I've tried writing it like five or six times, but I keep erasing it. The inspiration for the plot comes from an interest in AI, long before the current AI summer, but the idea to put it into a quest format is a pretty long story. When I was very young, I would write super experimental comics where the joke had to do with the way the reader read it. I've attached a picture of a modern one. Anyway, I eventually got interested in webcomics and forum games (see the littlest cheese-maker or losing is fun on bay12 forums) These forum games all ended petering out, never really meeting a conclusion. In my mind, the only reasonable recourse was to create a completely new way of making comics and forum games so that it could never happen again. This led to me creating forktoon.com, which ended up being a failure since I couldn't get anyone to actually use it. The failure led to a harebrained scheme as part of my big plans.

The idea to do everything through a terminal is because I always feel compelled to make everything in a story internally consistent. I looked at older quests to figure out how they dealt with the multiple voices of questden, and none of the solutions really satisfied me. So I had the idea to use a debubgger as a framing device.
