SYSTEM_LOG // EARTH_SIMULATION

"The simulation isn't crashing. It's strictly following the new patch notes."

The Simulation Log is a satirical, "sysadmin-style" archive of human history. It reimagines real-world historical events (wars, inventions, disasters) as server patch notes, bug fixes, and feature updates for a digital reality known as EARTH_SIM_C-137.

Style Guide for Logs

To keep the humor consistent, follow these rules:

1. Title = Fact: The title must be the real historical name (e.g., "World War I").
2. Description = Lore: The description must be "System Logic."
   • Bad: "People got sick."
   • Good: "Pathogen stress-test initiated. 40% of userbase disconnected."
3. Dates: Use clean formats (e.g., "1945", "65 Million BC").
4. Regions: Use Global_Earth, Global_Universe, or specific servers like Europe_West.
