The section has the least excuse for existing, which is probably why it's the biggest set of the entire website. Name generators, syllogisms, a spreadsheet actively trying to break itself, a slowly degrading terminal, a dungeon crawler built on management cybernetics. Several of these are part of a critical software studies thread - that is software that argues with itself, or with you, instead of quietly doing what it's told to do.
