James Joyce ARG / Alternate Reality Game
An alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by players' ideas or actions. The form is defined by intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses. It is shaped by characters that are actively controlled by the game's designers...
"Sean Stacey, the founder of the website Unfiction, has suggested that the best way to define the genre was not to define it, and instead locate each game on three axes (ruleset, authorship and coherence) in a sphere of "chaotic fiction""

This thread is very hard to read, and I've read Finnegan's wake and Ulysses
Have you ever studied Joycean Marshall McLuhan, University of Toronto? He covered Finnegans Wake and electric media systems (Lemmy), both.
Do you know there is no apostrophe in the title? Maybe you have problems remembering the book. "Wake" should also be capitalized.
"There is no apostrophe in the title; that is deliberate, to encourage a multiple reading: the wake of Finnegan; the waking of Finnegans; an injunction to Finnegans to wake. I take out my wet-ink pen and write my name on the fly leaf, a river of blue running to dry and mark my passage."
It is almost like Lemmy is full of people who make really labored trolling comments compulsively. As if they can't understand any other use of Lemmy than reaction comments. As if the entire society is in need of media ecology lessons from Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. Eternal September 1993 having overgrown the entire Internet.
Can you please elaborate what this means? Do you have vision impairment? Which software application are you using with Lemmy? Are there specific words you don't comprehend or understand? Is the brightness on your screen too low or too high? I don't understand why exactly you are having problems reading.
