exlapin this to me hten: why hte fu k is therr an intrenet connection up in fuckin space
A fascinating question from one who can not formulate a coherent sentence. As I have deciphered it, you are asking how exactly I communicate with you given my situation.
Firstly, I shall correct you Derse is not in space, but in the Medium which is a sort of – let us say pocket dimension. It is folded and tucked away from the universe, and any other universe, a discreet bundle of of planets, moons etc, ringed by the void and the horrorterrors. Here you could in fact roll your windows down while travelling between planets, though I would not recommend it.
As for how I maintain my internet connection to communicate, it is a question I do not entirely know the answer to. When our houses and possessions were transported into the medium at the beginning of the game all of our systems continued to work, despite the lack of connection. Lights still received power, water ran, heaters and air conditioning could be turned on. And additionally, or computers still each received a strong wireless signal. After all, if our computers did not continue to communicate, how would we be able to play the game?
Over my time here I have experimented with the computer and found that not only does it connect to my home internet but to what I would term a number of ‘alternate’ internets which still continue to be updated, despite my own Earth being cold and dead. Additionally I have recently discovered that my net will allow me to communicate with players from at least certain other sessions, though I have… yet to take advantage of this.
If you are curious about the state of Dersite connected computing, the answer is that when I first entered the medium it was quite primitive; equivalent to the american internet in the early 1980s. Most Dersites do not own computers, and those that do use them for business rather than pleasure. Computer systems are used to communicate between Derse and Skaia, and ship to ship communication, as well as banking and internal corporate messaging.
