Using MUCK more, I'm reminded of a lot of the reasons I loved it, and many of the phenomena I engaged in when I was younger. Like...
exploring on your own and using your mind's eye all the while, vividly experiencing the worlds even when no one was around.
anyway, I am currently located both on my good friend's couch and a kelp forest in Neptune City so mindspaces are really good n.n'
@Jacel @Oneironott I'm reminded of the quote about "humans staring at chemical smudges on crushed fiber and hallucinating vividly for hours" as a description of reading. XD
Same thing I love about Mucks. I've done a lot of building for them over the years, too.
MUCKs were sometimes scarce, but they were just as useful for being a shared, buildable world and supplementing it with your imagination to have such beautiful experiences. I remember sitting in digital corners just taking in the experience of what it brought.
