hi!!! I played your game dark forest virtual chatroom a little while back and it gave me a whole lot of feelings that stubbornly persist in my heart like the most melancholy little barnacle in the world. and I wanted to ask if you had any particularly formative online experiences that influenced the game!! it taps into a particular sphere of the internet that I pretty much completely missed the boat on, so I figured you might have some neat insight about it :>

Thank you!! It's also a period I somewhat missed -- I had big born-at-the-wrong-time nostalgia for forums as a teenager as I was also too late for their first renaissance, but eventually I found one still running that I spent a few formative years on. DFVC is sort of based on that experience, along with the general idea of having missed out on something beautiful.
