Reception

Dave Langford reviewed In Viriconium for White Dwarf #54, and stated that "Even the city's gods are trying low life, inventing horrors like 'donkey jackets, wellington boots and small white plastic trays covered in congealed food' while the plague zone grows. Oblique and enigmatic, but wonderful."[1]

gollark: <@293066066605768714> As detailed in infocontext.txt palaiologos also wants acknowledgement that you got this.
gollark: Hello! As you may know, I am (barely) staff in old esolangs. For transparency purposes I also share some of the staff discussion which goes on there. They recently complained about this; palaiologos apparently wants me to post *full* context for staff discussions instead of my somewhat small screenshots, including retroactively in the case of the rules change discussion since apparently people have been led to believe that the staff weren't mostly in favour of this. Thusly, here you go.
gollark: And also the permissions system, via [REDACTED] beeonic incursions.
gollark: Well, you are in our hearts.
gollark: Baidicoot is a staff however.
