OH that Jack Thompson. Yeah I remember now. Man, on one hand, his actions were at best misguided and at worst totally insane. On the other hand, IMO we wouldn’t know about him if video game people were by any measure calm or reasonable.

I don’t know who Jack Thompson is, so just pretend that I came up with some incredible, witty interleaving of references to waiting for godot, the torment nexus meme, and Jack Thompson

The one that includes this:
So I responded in the SL4 (which for the life of me I can't dig up) & went to the trouble of emailing Yudkowski directly, explaining that 1) no I didn't write about your life but 2) if you happen to be in NYC, I'd love it if he'd attend the play. I also attached a copy of the script in the email 7/x
(which is way more good faith than Yud deserves, btw)
I thought “yeah, in Yud’s position […]
Best stop this thinking before you suffer the same levels of delusion of reference and/or grandeur.

Well you would because, like Yud, you jumped to your own conclusions without actually reading the fucking article.

FWIW my understanding is the "Off"-ness is just decreasing theatre size, but gets (mis)construed as less prestige/fame/quality etc. Fame is probably fine for construing, but prestige/quality is orthogonal. Like you could conceivably have absolute theatre mega stars do an epoch-defining production in an intimate 50-seat theatre or something, and that would still be "Off-off-broadway".
