It’s a secret plot by Atari to fry off the C64 users and rule the world. Fortunately, one is just a POKE53280,0:POKE53281,0:POKE646,1 away from evading this.

Imagine in the far-distant future (past) where advanced machines have taken up the hobby of emulating the history of the earth on C64.

So it is then at least how I entered my current world. Close enough to the Big Bang, I suppose.
