[_] we've all heard about cyberpunk and cipherpunk, but here's something new: textpunk. Anonymous
10/24/16(Mon)16:56:48 No.3166980

  That's right. Textpunk
  Newspaper articles, BBSs, IRC, ASCII art, program source code, Novels, View HTML source,
  Mathematics, Hieroglyphics, The Rosetta Stone, Gutenberg Bible...

  A textpunk doesn't sit there waiting for information to be slowly fed to him drip at a time by
  the gogglebox. A textpunk is thirsty for knowledge and 100% focused - they read old school hacker
  textfile zines. They don't waste their time with lame imageboarders: instead they're doing crazy
  abstract shitposting on bbses with thoughts and concepts twisted up so with many levels of irony
  that it becomes an art form.

  Textpunks recognize and understand the true power of copypasta - how a well crafted piece of text
  can be so damn powerful that it alone can trigger thousands of replies with so much veracity
  within days. They see through things down into the core of what really counts, everything in the
  computer is built of text, ascii, strings of bits - They don't care about the latest 3D GUI
  environment fads. No, that's just a distraction. 7-bit clean ascii program source code. That's
  textpunk.

  Look at how text has shaped humanity: The birth of writing systems was correlated with some of
  fastest advances of science and technology in early human history. Mass production of the Bible
  took power away from a few select monks and democratized paving the way for people to start
  thinking for themselves. Programming is text and it's the closest thing there is in the world to
  true wizardy and spell casting. Talking about real SICP-type programming here, not that modern
  garbage.

  Today textpunks build up digital libraries of books and stick it to the copyright cartel.
  Schwarz, lib gen, the gentoomen library, and so many anonymous sources that tireless scan and
  collect books.. Textpunks are the people in tune with modern digital society of ultrafast
  cost-free transmission of text, they're the ones rethinking and revolutionizing publishing mixing
  it with open rights and making works available online.

  It has one point about stripping away the unnecessary graphical components of a software and
  making sure it works, without getting distracted by graphical content.

  hahahah, that's too funny.

  >Zork is one of the earliest interactive fiction[1] computer games, with roots drawn from the
  original genre game, Colossal Cave Adventure. The first version of Zork was written in 1977–1979
  using the MDL programming language on a DEC PDP-10 computer. The authors—Tim Anderson, Marc
  Blank, Bruce Daniels, and Dave Lebling—were members of the MIT Dynamic Modelling Group.

  >[1]: Interactive fiction, often abbreviated IF, is software simulating environments in which
  players use text commands to control characters and influence the environment.

  The company, Infocom, went on to make sequels and other games in the universe, even titles like
  Zork Quest: The Crystal of Doom, but there was no game called Zork IV.

  I would date this pasta to within the last two years. I thought I saw it first on 4-ch but I may

  I was a BBS sysop once on a simple IBM PS/2 with a 2400 baud experimenting with RIP.

  While I do have a terrabyte collection of books on every subject in my machine, I wouldn't
  consider myself a "textpunk". Frankly labels are pointless. I just use the skills from the past
  to enhance my life and make it easier. Lots of the skills I learned from phreaking has been used
  in other aspects of my engineering I do for a living. I loved playing LORD and much of that has
  had an unexpected impact in other problem-solving aspects of my job.

  I suppose its a shame no one will experience these hard core skills anymore but I suppose there
  are skills of a different kind to be found these days. Lots of opportunities in the IoT world
  that is just emerging. Way better support than the pathetic kits from RadioShack and mail-order
  catalogues.

  Is there a list of commands?

  >>3167135
  I mean if you want a full command list it's here http://zork.wikia.com/wiki/Command_List

  But you can really just use basic verbs to do what you want. If you want to discover most of them
  on your own I'll tell you that movement is based upon nsew and just typing in n will move you
  North.

  Try making a map (on paper or in your head) before you look everything up on that wiki.

  (Read off of the matchbook in Flood Control Dam #3)

  YOU too can make BIG MONEY in the excieting field of PAPER SHUFFLING!

  Mr.Anderson of Muddle, Mass. says: "Before I took this course I was a lowly bit twiddler. Now wit
  what I learned at GUE Tech I feel really important and can obfuscate and confuse with the best."

  Dr.Blank had this to say: "Ten short days ago all I could look forward to was a dead-end job as a
  doctor. Now I have a promising futre and make really big Zorkmids."

  GUE Tech can't promise these fantastic results to everyone. But when you earn your degree from
  GUE Tech, your future will be brighter.
