I Started with actionquake (aq2). check it out.

Minh “Gooseman” Le, one of CS’s creators, was a fan of AQ2. Counter-Strike (first released in June 1999 as a Half-Life mod) built on AQ2’s ideas but refined them with better hitboxes, buy menus, maps, and more tactical pacing.

AQ2 is often described as “the bridge between Quake and Counter-Strike”.

> I could tell GPT to add in an anomaly for the 1970s - like the girl looking at Billy’s Instagram - and it would introduce it into the text without a comment about being anomalous

Wrong. I tried it. it wrote it as "instagram". Then i asked it to explain this instagram:

In Timmy’s mind, it was simple. First, he’d snap a Polaroid of some passing dog or a field of sunflowers. Next, he’d run home, sit at his rickety desk, and carefully slip the Polaroid into a school notebook he called his “feed.” He’d scribble a title at the top—something he swore was called a “caption”—and pretend he was beaming the image across some invisible network into the hands of friends he’d never actually met.

Awesome to me
