looks like a frog thing. lets install a eldritch version of linux to see what happens

[X] obtain install media for "alternative Operating Systems" via heironet explorer 'google' searches. Halloween is just around the corner, and some real dark horror for the holiday will liven up the office parties considerably.

No. But Mozilla did after a fashion, in the form of Netscape navigator/communicator. (Netscape went out of business, but starte the Mozilla foundation, who makes Firefox. This is why the 1990s FF is NN.)
Noting that, back then, Netscape was effectively the Evil Company (at least in Web Browser terms) whilst Microsoft was the saintly provider of the free browser that was Internet Explorer (like all the other browsers of note, like Lynx and Mosaic, but without the slightly inconvenient effort needed to create or seek out and recompile a port from unix/etc, or install some early Linux to get a compatibly graphic UI).

I think this feeling (and some degree of OS monopoly/pushing via ISP floppies sent through the post) that led to the fall of Netscape's premium product and ubiquity of IE. That and the existence, or otherwise, of the <BLINK> tag.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mystery game.  (<BLINK>ing eyes are the current issue, I suspect.)

Turn on our phones flashlight and try again.
Just turn on the flash feature. :P (the camera app wont work with the flashlight on.)


That's... very odd. You turned the phone only slightly to the left, and now it looks like the far wall is much further away than before. Also that THING IN THE LAST PHOTO MOVED so that's probably a big deal.

Activate Aura monitor.


None of this makes sense to you, but it did come with a README file.

Code: (Aura Monitor README) [Select]
aura.exe detects your desktop background image's aura, and features an easy-to-read GUI!

That's it? Well, you might as well try it you guess.

Since we are a developer, lets make copies of these programs and put them through IDA pro. Lets see what horrors we can glean from their disassembly. Hopefully we won't go mad...

But first you should, uh...

[X]Ponder if there's an eldritch form of firefox you can use instead. Did firefox even exist this far back? Better check.

Or um...

YES! Downloading an OS installation media image through an unknown, eldritch channel! That seems like a good idea.


Your eyes only bleed slightly when you look at it!


Okay. Yeah. You're pretty sure this is a disc image.

"Linniks", huh. You think that's... probably it. You can probably get this thing onto a floppy and...


Uh?

I am curious what the aura monitor has to report about the rampaging tux install daemon... Or scryglass, that could be fun too.


Also, is that a Deadhat based distro, a Diabian distro, or is it Archfiend?

Nah, if you look closer, we're currently on the Deeper Desktop from Before the Dawn of Time, where the icons all fell. Look at the maximised scryglass picture again.

Feedora, HellhoundLinux, Damned SmallLinux, Culldeerer, Mandevourer..? (If not 'Killy Linux', we could probably use (actual) Kali Linux/Backtrack, right?)
