"Originally published as a type-in game in 'Data Dreams,' a little-known gazette that ran for just six months in 1979 following a bitter editorial split at 'Tarnsactor,' this title quickly gained notoriety for the unusual side effects of play. The exact mechanism behind the phenomenon remains unknown, and original programmer 'Nathan B.' was never located despite repeated efforts by multiple authorities. Following a catastrophic incident in which the game was run on the already heavily-cursed Coleco ADAM, a concerted effort was made to find and destroy all copies of the software; however, rumors that the source code was passed around on several underground BBSes and remains 'out there' persist to this day."

With pizza rolls being mentioned, I assume this is more modern-day, and Ricky here is just having fun with collector's items, perhaps ones from their father/grandfather or something. (In either case, does Ricky know what they've gotten themselves into?)
Obligatory: How za heck do I get a copy of zhis game? Can't necessarily rely on a real life Za Bastard to help me out, but I suppose we'll find out in a couple weeks...
(Also, "storkweasel" is great. ^_^ )

"Storkweasel" was a new one on me, but Val was rattling off terms he's heard people use in a recent multistream and that was too good not to hang onto XD
(Oddly enough, pizza rolls apparently go back to the mid-'60s and hail from Duluth, which was a surprise to me, but I'll take a little bit of quasi-hometown quasi-pride where I can get it! They mostly seemed like a suitably cheap-and-lazy Thing Your Grandma Makes When You're Over.)
I dunno how the timeline squares up, exactly; I reused kiddo's character design from a couple prior sketches with the "Original Character" cast (at least he apparently has a more positive influence in life than his mom...!) and while "Xanadu" doesn't have an official temporal setting, I definitely think of it as "of its time," so this is probably early-'00s - but who knows? Val specifically mentioned playing on his grandparents' computer, so I was trying to evoke a Your Grandpa's Den c.a. The Nineties vibe here. Either way, Ricky probably has some adjusting to do, but eh, priorities ;)
(Of course, that raises questions of what a species from a webcomic that started in 2016 is doing here at all, but I think we can pretty comfortably conclude that A Wizard Did It.)

Any code that can actually transform the user can surely pull information from alternate branches of spacetime, right? After all, according to a few theories, every work of fiction is created by the subconscious tapping into an alternate reality where it's real. So then the OOPs setting exists somewhere in the multiverse, and potentially could be accessed by more than just Valsalia. ^_^
