Hollow World wasn’t strange from either perspective. There have always been fantasies involving the hidden civilizations under the earth. There was also among designers a fetish for the pulpy adventure stories. See also, Doc Savage, the Nile Empire for TORG, Justice Inc and Lands of Mystery, various Buck Roger’s iterations, Thrilling Places, Hollow Earth Expeditions, Spirit of the Century, as well as a few dozen others. Hell, even Traveller is based on the pulpy SF like Dumarest and Lensman.

Back in the 80s we were just guessing most of the time. At least until Akira was released in the United States in 1988 and only then white people started realizing there was a market.

Notes, and links, etc: UpNote Fantastic app, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android; Markdown support.

I very much appreciate UpNote for three reasons. First it is a flexible and straightforward notes app. Second, there is a one time purchase option. Third, I can use it for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Nothing else combines these value propositions.

I was an Evernote user since version 2 but it has just become a bloated terrible experience, and it’s egregiously expensive. UpNote gives me those key features without any cruft.

Some people just love to removed, especially if that's all they do. James Wallis said (IIRC) "Game designs aren't tools, but some game designers are".
