Ghost in the machine (code)?

Good find A lot of people missed those. When this first started, there was something else to find in there that led some people to the first consultations. Those images don’t seem to lead to anything current, but maybe the future?

As an addon, the “signatures” under some of those ASCII art pieces are of well known ASCII artists who do a lot of letter-art like this. B’ger and Kangaroo are two of these artists

@alexvansickle I’ve been wondering about these since the beginning. The imagery hasn’t really applied to anything else in terms of the OOA. But I’ve always wondered, as @mike said, if these are significant in pointing to where this experience is leading or what’s lurking underneath the surface

@endlesspictures – I’m not sure we should look into it too much. It seems to me like it was made to draw attention to where the phone number used to be, at the top of the comments.

The fact that they’re copy/pasted from known ASCII artists, including their signature combined with the fact that later code uses “spooky” variables (see examples copy/pasted below, pulled from site code) implies that it was mood setting done by someone who is trying to make the source sound “scary” in a way that isn’t consistent with the rest of the OOA’s media. Perhaps outsourced to a third party or some sort of OOA intern who didn’t understand the mood they were going for?

“Spooky” code examples:

1.
<!– contain the evil –>
<div class=”container” style=”z-index:800; “>

2.
<!– bondage cables: bar1, left –>
img src=”/images/rope-long-piece.png” />

3.
//a glitchy wiggler for the underworld
function glitchywiggler( target ) {

This beauty is in the code.

EDIT grrr
