YMMV / Digital: A Love Story

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The Creeper worm was real. As was the Reaper worm. And yes, the Reaper worm was created specifically to take down instances of the Creeper worm. Except that the real Reaper didn't go overboard and in actualty destroyed itself after destroying a Creeper instance. And when the last Creeper instance got destroyed, so did the last Reaper instance.
• Genius Bonus: The binary included in *Emilia's core dump translates into actual ASCII. "my name is emiliai was born to understand poetrybut accidentally fell in love"
• Player Punch: Both of *Emilia's deaths.
• Strangled by the Red String: *Emilia falling in love with the player may give the impression of this since it happens over just a few conversations which, for the player, can appear to take place within minutes of each other. More justifiable when you consider that gaps of several days are implied to take place between posts and much of the interaction (including all of the player's messages) is glossed over.
