I was going to make a PSA about the bridges and public logging, but after getting frustrated over getting a link into a post, accidentally deleting some of my history & deleting the post twice, I changed my mind.

I’ve figured out a way to make my posts look normal and still use my terminal style. Since it would be weird to make a post just to state that, and I’ve been too inactive lately to just post nothing, I’ll just do something random:

<< NEURALSYSTEM.CREATE : {prompt: "list of unofficial immortal dragons
drawn on the whiteboards", format: STRING}
-=-=-=-
* FAROSH, NAYDRA AND DINRAAL: The original trio from TLoZ:BotW. They
hopefully don't need any explanation past that.
* CALAMITY GANON: Briefly showed up on WBD2:1.
* MUDDLE-BUD DRAGON: Showed up in earlier whiteboards, before largely
disappearing.
* BLUE DRAGON AND WHITE DRAGON: Immortal parodies of two of the victims
of my Craiyon-torturing activities.
* THARTLER: Briefly showed up in WBD2:3.
* FAKE DRAGON: A Halloween decoration.
* NORVILLE: Briefly seen in WBD2:6.
* IMMORTAL FROST G...OK: Effectively just Naydra with a different
horn. Only seen in WBD2:6.
* ICELANDIC WATER DRAGON: An unused character in the Colbrine Sector.
* G-DRAGON: A reference to a Zone 7 whiteboard.

<< UPDATESYSTEM.PATCH_NOTES : DREAMLOGSYSTEM, "v2.00-rc1"
-=-=-=-
Dream Log System: v2.00, Release Candidate #1
Sector Sourcing Update

This update plans to upgrade the binary recognition system to a
system that identifies dreams as potentially belonging to a
"sector" of the user's memories. This sector classification system
may be too time-consuming to be added as the dream log is written,
and is thus meant to be manually recorded after the initial
transcription of the dream log.

* EPIDERMAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Scratch.
* DIGITAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to the TBGs.
* CARTESIAN SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Minecraft or its media.
* MONETARY SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to wasteof.money.
* CONDITIONAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Not Always Right.
* INDELIBLE SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Craiyon or content
  generated using it.
* EXISTENTIAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to IRL events.
* MELLIFLUOUS SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to GT-180.
* EMULATED SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to video games.
* COLBRINE SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to other mental processes.
* MISCELLANEOUS SECTOR: Dreams with known connections to activity
  not covered by other sectors.

Also coming with this update is an improved visualization format,
showing the logs with Unicode-integrated graphics rather than raw
JSON, to improve the user experience.
