@michael Seems interesting! And at $4 there's no risk in trying it out. I'll pick it up sometime

@michael An article about virtual nightclubs

There are actually a ton, but the one I linked there has a great screenshot of one in action with a lot of those same fashion aesthetics that we saw in VNC

Nocturnal Nightmares

I loved this video about Nocturnal Nightmares, a shareware game that this person made with a friend in QuickBasic when they were 13 years old, and how he found joy in revisiting it as an adult in a bunch of different ways.

Battle of the Eras

Friend of the Fringe Game History Podcast Phil Salvador just posted a lovely article about Battle of the Eras, a Mortal Kombat-esque fighting game made by some teenagers in Belleville, Ontario. Worth a read, as well as this interview with its lead developer from Brandon Cobb.

Furcadia (and perhaps other old MMOs?)

I tried to go on furryMUCK once but I was too nervous around people I didn't know and now I'm in a private discord server of a subgroup that started in furryMUCK... thankfully not as nervous but we're not obligated to do the whole rolpeplay thing that was expected in the MUCK so... I feel more comfortable not wearing the mask! Furry culture...is strange... beautiful.
