Darkness Falls is online.

And rightly so, the world will ask: “What is it?” The world is right to ask.

The truth is that we have governed our VPS in a barbaric fashion. A brutal exercise, disrespectful and void of mercy. On that machine run the site, the app, and other services that have nothing to do with retrogaming; social-purpose services we have sworn to defend and uphold.

But the point is not the what, it is the how. Too many clients, too many diverse operations claiming their space. A system cannot be left to chance; it cannot be guided by the negligence of fools.

Thus, Darkness Falls was born.

A dedicated installation, an architecture of frameworks, caching systems, and queue managers that stand guard over our application endpoints. Everything is still in the heat of testing. Performance is promising, and if the metal holds, we will migrate the entire Retrogek infrastructure.

In the meantime, MaybeGrifis is cross-referencing the data. The CPU of his Alienware has ceased to be physical matter. It has become a quantum probability, shining with its own terrible light.

Stay tuned. Until next time.
