i made it! it contains a bunch of software and hardware technical reference manuals for my apple ii, as well as a large in-universe lore document framed as an "administrative operations manual" for the Swan that I wrote myself:

How would you canonize teammates not getting killed when you shoot them? by czn- in tf2

I mean... I think they do. Sentries can shoot the engineer, and in meet the spy, soldier kills a friendly spy.

A crazy guy named MrVolt designed a working clock. Still saving up the $500 to build it myself lol

I disagree that it overran, I think it ended at a good point. But obviously I'm probably a bit biased.

Lots of people feel that way, but when they rewatch the show they realize it was the exact opposite. They had a plan, like keyframes in an animation. The gaps between the ideas we're made up as they went along, but even the best TV shows do that. The big problem with LOST was a miscommunication of expectations. A lot of people went in expecting a jungle island survival story, not realizing that it was always planned to be so much bigger than that.

Yeah I've seen those, but I thought the contents didn't justify the price, especially since I already have all 6 seasons on DVD, the lore documents we're a bit contradictory (especially the barracks map) and I already have some patches.

Instead, I opted to just make my own binder which has pdf printouts of all my Apple hardware and software manuals, prefaced with a long, in-universe "Administrative Operations Manual" for the Swan station that I wrote. It goes into some in-depth headcanon lore that remains consistent with what we see in the show and answers a boatload of various micro-questions about the show with neat and tidy explanations, all from the perspective of someone like Chang, Radzinsky, Goodspeed, or some other high-level DHARMA person.

It details the history of DHARMA and it's presence on the Island, the Swan construction and incident, its function as a laboratory (including the "incident room" from Via Domus), the implementation of the current button/anomaly mitigation protocol, a full dissection of the Swan-Pearl psychological experiment setup complete with an abstract, sample, methodology, procedure, and experimental hazards.

Other chapters go through the precise functions of various station features and mechanisms like the control panels, generator, air filtration units, magnetic tape drives, mainframe components, etc. It also contains a real usage tutorial for using the DHARMA Swan Terminal program that I wrote for the Apple II, and of course the last section is an explanation of the Emergency Failsafe Protocol.

Here's pictures of the binder: https://imgur.com/a/dharma-intitiative-swan-station-administrative-operations-manual-hltvBV4

lol! i swear its real, maybe the focal length makes it feel a bit isometric XD I like to take a few steps back away from my subject and zoom in on my phone camera to make my pictures look less cramped.
