I LOVE YOU CROMBIRD

_{crombird is best bird}

Decibelles 09 Mar 2015 20:40

While this is certainly a continuation, there's nothing much here I can support in terms of story. It feels like an in-between from the first tale to the next. Even though it's setting up future events, it doesn't do so in any particularly interesting way. I also get the feeling that this format might be tough to stick with as far as reading if there's a whole series focused on it.

No-vote.

LurkD 09 Mar 2015 20:56

I'll just say this about it… when I wrote the first tale I did not have a series in mind. So yeah, there's some building elements in this one to make up for what was lacking in the first.

Crombird. Amazing.
Seriously though, this was a funny read that feels like a good continuation from the last one. Good job.

This is gonna sound dumb, but who's Glacon? Like, I read the prequel to this, so I recognize the character, but is Glacon based on a now-dead AI?

LurkD 09 Mar 2015 21:10

Glacon, Alexandra, and CROM are all re-imagined chatbots from our IRC channels. You get around enough, you'll meet all 3.

Agent MacLeod 09 Mar 2015 21:33

Ok. I have a feeling Nala is gonna make her premiere soon, isn't she?

Bryx 10 Mar 2015 03:14

I'm going to call nala as glacon's gung-ho, by-the-book replacement, hatbot as some old, corrupted, first-gen AI, and… what other chat bots have we used…

Glacon is a bot used in roleplay channels, I believe.

CROM is adorable.

Awh D:

I would disagree but my argument would not be considered.

I feel his lack of feel here. Excited about the prospects of this series!

augmentedspartan 09 Mar 2015 22:26

While the format didn't have the same delightful sense of surprise as the previous one, it was just as much fun to read. Easy +1 and I can't wait to read the next part.

Heartful 09 Mar 2015 23:23

Just noting that I fixed a typo.

Thank ye. I'm not a very good editor.

It's a very drawn-out foreshadowing, but as long as there's something to foreshadow (hint hint), I can live with this.

Okay, what the heck is the "code5.txt" file? The IHDR and IEND text blocks in there mean that it's a .png file, but renaming it to one doesn't make it viewable.

Is it an easter egg or just a corrupted .png to generate computery-looking code? It bothers me to not know…

LurkD 11 Mar 2015 14:59

The latter because I can't program a security bypassing utility program like an AI would. So it's supposed to be code but is really gobbledy-gook.

EASTER EGG

It's actually CROM's image slapped into notepad. So there's some connection. Just add '‰PNG' to the top there and recompile it and it should make a CROM image.

Huh, I tried that and it didn't seem to work. On the other hand, my work computer is still running XP, so things frequently break in impressive and unusual ways.

_{All hail CROM}

Bland 11 Mar 2015 22:00

If he saved it in Notepad, it probably destroyed some characters, so… not surprising it didn't work.

Hail CROM!
