I AM SORRY FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Torturetober Prompt List

For each day you are free to do either prompt or combine the two, and you may interpret these however you like. We tried to make it an even split of things that could be broadly applicable as well as historical (or mythological/historically contested) methods for those who want more of a challenge.

Please ask us if you're confused about what any of these things mean!
