Damn, ist #Subnautica einfach nur die grafische Variante von #Planetfall, Notlandung auf einem Alien-Wasserplanet, tödliche Krankheit, nur ohne Mop?

After Atlas is a 2016 science fiction novel by British writer Emma Newman. It was first published in the United States as a paperback original in November 2016 by Roc Books...
After Atlas is the second book in Newman's four-book Planetfall series, and takes place on Earth forty years after the spaceship Atlas departed to find God in the first book, Planetfall. - Wikipedia
Whilst I really enjoyed Planetfall, this dystopian noir murder mystery loose sequel to it, was even better. Published in 2016, but sadly, the repressive gov-corp world ruled entirely by profit imagined here in the middle of the 22nd century seems even more likely now, though I hope it does not come to pass.
PLANETFALL takes center stage as myself, Mr Creosote and The Digital Antiquarian join the DOS Game Club guys for a 230-minute deep dive into Infocom’s legendary text adventure...

@Tijn @DigiAntiquarian That was a very entertaining episode! Going back and forth between gameplay and the backstory made it really interesting. I never thought I'd listen to all of the almost 4h, but in the end I did! :-)

Electronic Arts asked, in their advertising campaign, "Can a computer make you cry?" Implying that *their* games may just be able to do that. Meanwhile, the competition was way ahead of them; #Planetfall did just that instead of just speculating about it.
And in-between times I am playing with a new (to me) Z-Code interpreter called Vezza in RunCPM.
So far so good... Running all my favourites (inc all the Zorks), so far as high as some Z5's.
Loving an easy single interpreter that I can just chuck data files at as CMD line parameters!

Planetfall is a 2015 science fiction novel by British writer Emma Newman.
I love this tale set on a far distant planet with a mysterious city that managed to put some different twists on familiar tropes and really empathised with Ren the central character.
