"Go Off or Die Off." A compilation and compendium of supplementary material uncovered during the research and analysis process in creating my companion blog... Renaissance Village Idiot. In other words, a pile of cool junk that is mostly flagrant re-blogging... except for the bits that crawl from the darkest projections of my personal Plato's Cave, regurgitated here for your nightmarish pleasure. Consider it An eclectic Collection of Oddities and Wisdom you Need to Know before the End of Days.

Evil Genius | Vincent Ocasla

Vincent Ocasla spent four years running equations and cumputing on graph paper to build a totalitarian Sim City 3000 hellscape called Magnasanti. He grew a population of six million and maintained it for 50,000 in-game years. He claims to have beaten an otherwise unbeatable game. (Yes, yes, SimCity has no "winning" state... but as an analytical tool I've always seen the possibilities... and Vincent took the effort to explore the possibilities to their ultimate conclusion in totalitarian efficiency. Fantastic.)

Read the Vice story, there's a great interview with Vincent.

If anyone’s wondering, I am not autistic, or a savant, nor suffer from OCD, or suffer from any other form of clinical mental disease or illness for that matter.

Nicely put.

Thanks to kottke for bringing that one to my attention.
