BGT Episode 16: Bonus Essay: Westworld

,

Greetings, Poptarts!

Well! It has been a while. You know, as I do.

This episode is a bonus essay on the philosophy of model railroading, one of my favourite subjects. It covers the ethos of narrative and autonomic artificial intelligence in building and operating a model railroad. Tell me how you like it!

The next episode will be a return to the railroads of the Northeast! For realizes, this time. Maybe only Northern New England. I don’t know! We’ll see! I’ve learned to not make plans! I give up!

Have a Thought? 

Proto-Future is attempting to do something which has never been done in model railroading before. I am here to ruffle feathers, seed ideas, get rusty gears turning, and help the hobby escape the transition-era worshiping rut we’ve been in for 30+ years, thereby better appealing to younger generations and improving the world around us along the way. If you have any thoughts at all – good or bad – pause for a second, think them through, make sure they’re logical, then email me, and we’ll see where it goes.

While the podcast is transitioning to Proto-Future, I still happily accept beginner questions and will address them on-air every now and then. Feel free to email me via the contact form, and I’ll do my best to help you in your quest.

Please consider Donating

This is an expensive endeavor, not just in money, but in emotional expenditures. Any amount you could donate, even a dollar a month, is reason enough for me to keep going. Your generosity would be very appreciated.
