Most of my peeves these days are AI related, here’s another one:
I hate that I’ve stopped using em-dashes even when they’re objectively the best punctuation choice in a sentence, and that I’ve mindfully changed my intuitive writing style, in order to avoid being interpreted as AI.
The OOC TS boundary crossing(which btw, is obscenely gross nightmare nightmare nightmare) matter kind of reminds me when I first started doing YouTube a couple years ago(I’ve since left, drama commentary has become a cesspool nightmare with perpetual feud between Ethan Klien, Hasan, and Destiny and oh my god I do not care enough to go into it further than that I learned far more about those three than I wanted to and all of it was against my will), but more to the point.
One of the first YouTube dramas that I somehow got involved in was some ‘Gooning in VC’ shit. To make a very long story short(and all YouTube drama are incredibly long winded I’ve since learned), shortly before I started appearing on streams, I was a mod for another YouTuber. Two OTHER mods apparently had this thing where they would get freaky in public Discord when it just the two of them. To the point that one bought the other a Love Sense(look it up, I’m not describing it to you but I feel like you can draw your own conclusions).
Suffice to say, the YouTuber who I modded for and eventually became friends with, found this both hilarious and infuraiting, making an entire stream about a drama that happened in his own server.
And sidenote, this was not the last time those two names were mentioned.
@Raistlin Linda and Elio - who worked with GRR Martin on his world compilation book and the TV Show, have the only author approved MUSH for the Game of Thrones world.

Lol now I kind of want to write a book about the history of MUSHes, even though it would basically only appeal to the tiniest of audiences.
Once upon a time in 1978 Trubshaw and Bartle made a MUD. The world sort of all went downhill from there…
Wisconsin let me the fuck down yesterday. It had one job. Whatever, I’m drinking myself into oblivion, because that’s what Sconnies do.
@Faraday If you don’t have a Jill the Guest or a Bane section, I will riot.

I have, on occasion, wanted to do video essay deep dives into THE CULTURE, if for no other reason than to have it compiled and learn about some of the history (and maybe serve as advertising for the community?)
But oh god do I not know where to even start.
an actual WORA Wiki
Thenomain’s still around, but I think he’s the last person of admin-level around from that era. Lord knows if he’s kept anything.
