Olvidaos de los creepypastas de internet.
Polybius —o Sinneslöschen, como figuraba en la máquina— pertenece a otra liga.
Año 1981.
Portland.
Salones recreativos con olor a tabaco, moqueta pegajosa y adolescentes con demasiado tiempo libre.
Y entonces aparecieron ellas.Máquinas negras.
Sin ilustraciones, sin reclamos.
Solo un nombre en alemán que ya advertía: borrado de los sentidos.
Al principio fue curiosidad.
Después, obsesión.
Los chavales hacían cola como si algo los llamara desde dentro del mueble.No eran los gráficos vectoriales lo preocupante.
Eran los efectos. Mareos, convulsiones, gritos.
Algunos salían sin recordar su nombre.
Otros con la mirada vacía, como si hubieran dejado algo allí dentro.
Se habló de mensajes subliminales, de frecuencias inaudibles, de patrones diseñados para saltarse la conciencia.Y luego estaban ellos.
Trajes negros, rostros neutros.
No tocaban la recaudación.
Abrían la máquina, tomaban notas, observaban en silencio.
No parecían técnicos: parecían examinadores.
Un mes después, desaparecieron.
Las máquinas también.Lo peor fue lo que quedó. Años más tarde, algunos jugadores hablaban de un zumbido persistente, justo detrás de las orejas.
No era un recuerdo.
Era un interruptor. Como si alguien hubiera encontrado una puerta trasera en la mente humana.Si esta noche el viento suena raro, no te asomes.
Puede que Sinneslöschen haya vuelto a cargar tu partida.Y esta vez no hay reset.

The Sound of the Carnyx
Context: The Carnyx was a Celtic instrument used for ~ 400 years between 200 BCE to 200 CE. A large S shaped wind instrument, with the head decorated and formed into a boars. According to the Greek historian Polybius (~206-126BC) accounts it was at least used during warfare:
There were countless trumpeters and horn blowers and since the whole army was shouting its war cries at the same time there was such a confused sound that the noise seemed to come not only from the trumpeters and the soldiers but also from the countryside which was joining in the echo.

Given that it's based on an urban legend about a mysterious arcade game that makes people psychotic, you'd expect Collin Armstrong's novel "Polybius" to be a horror story. But as he says in this exclusive interview, it's a coming-of-age one as well.

YouTube user "Ahoy" also known as Stuart Brown posts terrific independently researched videos which are eminently watchable.
If you haven't watched his video on "Four-Byte Burger" which was origionally created by Jack Haeger back in 1985 then you're missing out.
It should be noted that Stuart Brown also creates his own music for each video too.

Seriously, Stuart Brown should be hired as a detective for his investigative rigour.

CW: Sarcastic musings on the end of the world
On the bright side, if #AI keeps up like this, we'll soon be able to ask it to create a working version of #Polybius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius_(urban_legend)) and all be driven insane 👍 or a #BLIT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLIT_(short_story)). They're both fine options.

A quiet day at home. I’m watching Martin Scorsese’s underrated classic “Goncherov.” The oldest is playing an emulated game of Polybius while the youngest reads a Barenstein Bears book.

Today I watched a couple of YT videos about #Polybius. The best part of it was the attempted pronunciation of "Sinneslöschen".

I don't usually do a #followfriday #ff - but let's do an exception because the man, the myth, the ox, the most psychedelic of all psychedelic games developers of all time has joined #mastodon : Jeff Minter. @llamasoft_ox
Now excuse me, but after having written this I feel the urge to go play #Polybius
