General Chat / Re: Topicless thread
Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 12:06:56 PMI need to stop catching whatever the hell is going around, I feel like a tubercular victorian child after this last winter / spring. (I think I've been sick more than not.)

Dying to get 95-kun a kimono...
I'd like to request Tomodachi ENIAC screencaps so I can gush about her all over again / show her to all my friends. :3

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: On Topic[less]
Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 11:54:01 AMI really need to cross-post some of my personifications thoughts that get posted to Tumblr or Discord here (or in a new thread) because I'm p sure OSC is going to outlive Tumblr or Discord the way they've been going for the last couple years, and I want to have an archival record of my random brain cruft about my characters in case those other spaces get venture capital'd out of existence.
(I'm a bit wary about using any of the old wiki / annex / lore threads since a lot of this is pretty disconnected from that, and has kind of become its own thing.)
On that note I keep thinking of posting a Mainframe Men playthrough / review thread. While not OS-tan related, it's definitely in the spirit of it (what if old computer was actually person?)

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: Project Wiki OVERHAUL!!
Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 11:45:15 AMI need to get back to editing wiki articles. Citations are going to get harder for some of them because it's like "I heard this directly from the characters creator while talking on a car ride". (Certainly there's a wiki citation format for primary-source information...)

OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...
Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 11:34:15 AMI'm glad Harvard Mark IV-tan has been an underdog hit. For a computer with very little known information it seems to have some interesting accomplishments & anecdotes to its name which helps. (Also, being a part of the rapidly-expanding USAF Cambridge cohort.)
I definitely didn't conceptualize of SSEC as a hater but it's true that her connections to other -tans of the era are more defined by enmity than not. Well, except for little IBM 650 (who doesn't exist[?]). I don't think the others can handle her pretty girl swag ...
>_> I'm going to get hit by a flying Williams Tube for this one but I didn't think of IAS-sama as stylish ... I guess so just in a suits way instead of a dresses way! Ahead of her time. (This is why she was poached by IBM.)

Last post by Bella - Yesterday at 11:27:34 AMQuote from: stewartsage on May 15, 2026, 07:57:47 PMIAS-sama deserves all the love! How many of her almost-kids chipped in for the flowers along with the rest?
Heartily approve of Whirlwind-sama's best efforts at being a good mom!
They contributed too! (Initially I had the idea to have her in a room full of bouquets but couldn't figure out how to represent that very well visually. lol)
You should, you suggested it~ :3

OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...
Last post by stewartsage - May 15, 2026, 10:49:09 PMGlad to see all the Harvard's get some descriptive love. Mark IV-tan may be my favorite because of cute aggression? Although more Navy -tans is good.
SSEC! An actual IBM in this thread! Good for her. She's so powered by hate, then they Lenin'd her. Weird how that keeps happening to early -tans/parts of them. Perhaps the most stylish early -tan, other than IAS-sama?

Last post by stewartsage - May 15, 2026, 07:49:03 PMPlan 9 looks perfectly manic. I can hear her menacing dialogue already.
