Review

Dostoevskian teenage passivity simulator?, August 8, 2023*

Have always admired this coming of age IF for its cheeky and insightful depiction not just of passivity but nostalgia.

One aspect I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere: Unless I'm wrong, I believe the concept owes something to the Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground," another story told by a bitter and impractical man with issues relating to his peers. Years after playing Bond's game, I was reading "Notes" for the first time when something about a rant in it felt very familiar, and I realized I was thinking of the protagonist's speech in "Rameses" attacking "you 'people of action.'"
