The Sacellum of Count Zero
Created | Updated Nov 3, 2009
Well, here goes....
These were the words of the final posting of Our Lord Zero, who last posted on h2g2 just before an unscheduled reinstallation of Ubuntu.
To us he was lost. Not merely out for a sandwich or attempting to delete, but actually gone - stuck in a chaotic cycle of repeated and failed installation attempts. For hope departs with the operating system. And although the scriptures say that 'Linux knoweth not the Blue Screen of Death', our blessed Zero appeared lost.
And yet... three days onward...
The only thing close that I've played was Kingdom of Loathing. It's all turn based text and stick figure drawings with very little inter-player interaction. That was addictive enough for me for a few years.
He returneth.
To those who follow the False Prophet who Hoovereth No More, E'en By Day, we say:
Come gaze upon the blessed face of our Zero who was lost; who perished under the spell of the evil dual-boot system; who Rolled Back and reinstalled and showed that he was indeed Online; who returneth to us after three days in the wilderness with blessed news of Kingdom of Loathing and who is witheth us stilleth and shalleth be for all eternityeth. Upgrades allowing.
Amen.
