And of course - for those who need Homestuck explained - that's a great throwback to the SimCity games, specifically here where the loading screens would often include nonsensical things like the famouse "reticulating splines". (IIRC, a lot of the Maxis games of Yore would play off that joke.)
(And thanks - now the Sburb loading theme is stuck in my head again!)
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I just finished chapter 18: "Cosmo's Tasmanian Deviltry", with its retelling of the legend of Owsley's freakout at the Muir Beach Acid Test. Funny stuff.
Off topic: lately, I've noticed a lot of dead HN comments and entire shadowbanned accounts that seem totally reasonable and on-topic. I really wish there was a way to flag dead comments that were auto-flagged as false positives, because in the past HN mods have said people who comment from IPs that were previously banned also get shadowbanned.
Next time, take a look into their comment history. A lot of hellbanned people are totally reasonable on some topics but have pet topics about which they can be incredibly obnoxious.
