Stuff from the "weird head box," those systems which aren't immediately computable but can be expressed in analytic form: culture, occult, and the sort, but through that "techie lens." Even if it's made up, those proper nouns become game mechanics in the right systems.

As for the original post, here's one that seems relationally adjacent: Sometimes the Reason You Can't Resonate with People You Meet is Because... - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43776790 - 3 hours ago (3 points, 0 comments).

Sometimes similar submissions come in that are like contrasting "replies" to an older submission, a kind of meta-response.

I know creative fan fiction has been tapped for free for a long time now. My "head" is already opened and was fed to myself many times over.

Nothing I say is actually legally binding, we all know I can't charge a price for it and there is nothing I can do. It is cute that you tried to make fun of it by thinking that by "unobtanium" was referring to myself.

It is even more cute that you think I had a secret love that I lost. What I lost is related to the feeling of love, but damn, you are so mistaken about what it is or what it means.
