make it run faster.
At night you're awake and in daylight you sleep.
You're stuck in a recursive loop...
People no longer understand you because you talk in binary.
You adore "pin-face toys" because they remind you of un-smoothed
heightfields.
You cryogenically freeze your computer.

the good people at povray.general"

dynamics with POV-Ray.

Riven is the only game you own.

computer produces so much heat.

Seven words in not enough to describe a taste to someone.

a blackout and your computer stopped rendering...
And of course...

computer after your failed attempt at a automatic art generating program
became self-aware...
