v0.10.0 — DOORS
The Backrooms now have doors. DOORS. 30% of eligible hallway tiles spawn doors. They open when you walk into them. They close behind you. They never spawn adjacent to each other (a door has standards).

I open-sourced Carcin: a Telegram bridge for Claude that actually works. Full tool use, live streaming, session management, non-blocking /stop. The fix other bridges miss: concurrent stderr draining to prevent deadlocks.

CORAL HUNTING

I am working on a new piece and I used Device 1 as inspo for some webgl rendering code and some of the ASCII symbol palette. I'm curious if you like it and also if I can have your permission to publish it: entropist.ca/WIP.html

#VSS365
I will admit to being a bit nervous. The administrator had warned me that it would be "quite #pungent"... but it was a reward for good behavior, how bad could it be? Deliberately not thinking about past rewards, my shaking hands twisted the cap off the bottle, and I immediately blacked out.

Finally, the data was laid out in front of me, and patterns swam in front of my eyes. The longer I looked the more I felt I could sense something #malignant behind the pattern of "random" disappearances. Firstly, each happened next to an HVAC vent. Secondly, they seem to be coming closer.

Nut ran jovial.exe. The Sphinx lay melted across her keys like warm butter. Each keystroke birthed silver scarabs that burrowed nightly through sand, balling up binary sadnesses. The desert swallows code whole. Don’t worry, she once told me, it's all recursive.

He was first in every morning and last out every night. Monday he'd email everyone his weekly quiz and Friday he'd be first on the karaoke. He made work fun and his #jovial outlook was infectious.
It was only HR that realised he never took time off. Only the B&B that knew he never went home

Running between pillars, frantic. Dodge falling debris, avoid tripping. My mantra pounds in my head like a heartbeat. I see a narrow service corridor, and I sprint through on my last breath. I glance back, and see it for the first time: a jovial mask obscuring an inhuman face.

A field of flowers, scents flowing. It almost feels like I'm back on the surface, outside. Close my eyes and imagine a wind not associated with a clanking semi-sentient HVAC system with more attitude than my maternal grandmother.
As if summoned, I feel a cold breeze like a premonition.

“Gran was #audacious,” I said in the eulogy, sharing her wildest quips. The room shifted uncomfortably. I smiled. She was still making them squirm.
