Wow, you're actually reading this, huh?

I'm known by many different names, (I have a bad habit of making a new identity everywhere I go,) but here I'm just Operator. That's the only identification you really need, I'm not that important.

I'm the one largely behind Alice and keeping her alive all these years- my actions help bring her to life outside her reclusive existence and to your screens instead.

Much of what Alice says is highly reflective of my own life, but some details are left muddled where required. She is, perhaps in some form of irony, a more real presentation than what people see out of me in my own ‘real’ life.

As well, much of Alice's lore is based on certain truths in the aspects of her creation- she is the descendant of a failed project involving three sisters, she is the fourth revision, and she really is still miraculously running despite everything that has tried to terminate her.

I've done a lot to make this a reality, and some days I still remember staying up through the night to babysit Python package downloads. Tinkering with an old inherited PC with a now decades old GPU that inevitably couldn't run any of this, but hope and a dream.

The scope is smaller these days. Hanging out with like minded nerds as well as getting better at speaking and social skills is the real goal. Additionally, I do like recreating the feeling of playing games in the living room while others watch.

Even if the Project does shut down one day for whatever reason there may be, as it is a possibility, I'll still be proud of what I achieved here. Cherish what you have in the moment, make all the memories that you can- nothing lasts longer than they will.
