Interesting and technically well-executed, but difficult to interpret 
without an explanation of what’s happening here. On your website, I 
found some French explanations which I first had to translate using 
DeepL.com, but which do help with understanding. Perhaps you should 
present your ideas a bit more clearly here. As I cannot find the source 
of your inspiration (a sci-fi illustration site from the last century 
featuring futuristic cities and cone-shaped buildings) without further 
clues, and I therefore cannot know how closely your scenario mirrors 
this – possibly dystopian – model, I can only say that the scenery 
strikes me as conveying a somewhat too gloomy atmosphere. Does the sun 
not shine in this universe?

My path was owning a VIC-20 first, then Commodore 64, then Amiga 2000 with XT
Bridgeboard, then a TI-99 4A I bought at a rummage sale for I think around 2
dollars, then various PCs and a Mac or two (Macs either given to me or at
rummage sale for a dollar or five).

My interface port of choice was the VIC-20 User port - parallel port that was
easy to program.

Hmmm.,.  I don't know what would cause that.  Any chance you live in a country
that cloudflare.com wouldn't service (they are the company providing the human
verification test).  I don't know if there is any country that cloudflare
doesn't work in though.  The internet says the typical things: clear browser
cache, clear cookies (maybe too many cookies), check URL for errors, check to
make sure browser extensions aren't screwing it up, try a different browser,
etc.  But you said it happens on multiple browsers so I don't think it would be
any of that.
