    But just the Launch Arco, specifically. IIRC there were two or three others like the black Darco that didn’t launch.

    It’s funny the things my brain chooses to remember for over two decades, yet it forgets for months that the car I drive every day probably needs a wheel bearing until I start driving and it makes the noise again for the hundredth time. I might never play that game again and yet the car could kill me and/or other people tomorrow.

    Actually… now that I mention it, this post is making me want to spin up an XP VM. BRB, priorities.

      “‘Darco’ is slang for “De-Urbanized Arcological Construct”. Originally designed by the twisted genius of Dante McCallavre, the artist/architect proclaimed it a reactionary response to the rigid, archetypal Arcologies of his day. No one really knows what this means, and many engineers are frankly baffled at how the thing stays standing. Inside, the ill-lit corridor’s twist into odd, meandering corkscrews that mysteriously turn back on themselves. There are rumors that a strange sub-species of man inhabits the air ducts.”
