I don’t remember how I got this idea. I think I probably saw someone’s stylized fan art and Calliope’s fingers were almost claw-like, and I thought “that’s interesting, but why stop there?”

Factory Fan Bass: By attaching a disk with holes to the fan, it converts blinks of lights to electric signals and generates sound from a bass amplifier. Different numbers of holes can generate a musical scale, and turning on/off of the power makes it roar.

This is what I have in mind when I refer to Industrial Music.

A “gnome run” is a phenomenon that exists within a handful of Valve titles. Unlike a normal playthrough, the player must collect a small garden gnome at the start of the run, referred to as “Gnome Chompski”, and carry him to the end of the game. This run can be completed in Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Half-Life: Alyx. 1.5% of Alyx players have successfully completed a “gnome run”, granting them the achievement “Gnome Vault of My Own”.

In an interview shortly after Alyx’s SDK release in 2020, Gabe Newell requested that the modding community avoid tampering with files pertaining to the “gnome run” claiming that “certain modifications may make completing the challenge next to impossible, and render the achievement unobtainable”. As players speculated on his words, rumors sprung forth that there is a special version of the “gnome run” that can only be accessed via the modification of said files. Exactly what must be done to the game to access this “Gnome Edition” of Half-Life: Alyx is not known.

Some tried to find the truth of the “Gnome Edition”, but all documented attempts led to dead ends or bricked games. The “Gnome Edition” was dismissed as mere myth hyped up by overzealous fans. On June 1st, 2021, twitch streamer ‘wayneradiotv’ was linked by a follower to a workshop page for a newly uploaded mod for Half-Life: Alyx. He installed it, hoping to make the stream of his “gnome run” more interesting. He was not aware of the myth, but that didn’t matter anymore. The following footage is documentation of the “Gnome Edition’s” existence and what its discovery unleashed into the world. Witness the beginning of the tale of the GNOME EDITION.

Homestucks are like “let’s use all the typing quirks at once, ha ha”, and it’s still not as bad as the way Internet users circa 1998 actually talked.

Well now I’m curious as to what an example would be cause it had to be a disaster so beautiful it would rip my mind asunder.

Here’s the original post re-written in a form of leet that was popular around the period in question:

|-|0|\/|357|_|({<5 4|23 |_1|<3 |_375 |_|53 4|_|_ 7|-|3 7`/91|\|6 0~|_|1|2|<5 47 0|\|(3 4|\||) 175 571|_|_ |\|07 45 |34|) 45 7|-|3 \/\/4`/ 1|\|73|2|\|37 |_|53|25 (1|2(4 1998 4(7|_|4|_|_`/ 74|_|<3|)

Bear in mind that this is a relatively mild example of the type; for the sake of readability I haven’t used any jargon or intentional misspellings, and the orthography is inauthentically consistent throughout; in practice, it was common for fluent leet-speakers to use varying substitutions for the same letter in the space of a single message, and often even in the space of a single word.
