Well this was a dream come fucking true. Got a personal tour of the headquarters of the people who made my favorite games growing up. That's me holding the prop that is the ORIGINAL MYST book, from the very first game!! Incredible. Thank you @edoublea.com and @cyan.com !!
We had a blast showing @adamconover.net around Cyan HQ today. Here he is linking to Myst island. Hope he’s good at puzzles.

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

Of all the online services and portals I've been interacting with the for 15 years, the only ones that have not gotten dramatically worse are Steam, Wikipedia, and Giant in the Playground.
They are also the only ones that don't have to answer to shareholders.

tried to start a commune on myst island but fell apart over basic things like taking out garbage, doing dishes, who resets the puzzles at night, which brother to give the pages to, who gets to sleep in the spaceship, etc

I am serious, I think every person who wants third parties to thrive in this country should be spending 175% of their time pursuing Ranked Choice. Not only does it make it safe for everyone to vote their hearts first & their brains as a safety net, but it penalizes running far too hateful/divisive.
If third party operators were serious, they'd stop running joke candidates for federal and state offices, serving only as spoilers, and put their efforts into getting Instant Runoff Voting or Ranked Choice (because MMPR is way, way outside the current US structure) mainstreamed as fast as possible.
