at my job we have to go through a training program that teaches us the library of congress classification system, and when i was first being trained my boss started to boot it up and she gave me a really anxious and guilty look and said “listen, i’m really sorry in advance, there’s nothing i can do about this, just…. just try to get through it” and i was like lol what’s she talking about and then the program loaded and i was greeted with a deliriously funny-looking photoshopped wizard with glowing eyes pointing at some intro message like “AH YES, JUST AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD… APPRENTICE, YOU COME AT A TIME OF MOST DIRE NEED… YOU MUST LEARN OUR WAYS” and my boss just looked at me helplessly and was like “i’m so sorry. it’s like two hours long.”

thankfully it wasn’t an elaborate fever dream and i have found screenshots

Oh. This just ages it; everything educational of a certain age is like this. It reminds me of Encarta MindMaze, somehow.

I don’t usually add onto posts, but I can confirm this is real and I’ve had to do it myself and I’m honestly amazed that it’s actually used by people outside of my small college library

This happens, unskippably, every time you start it up, so even if you’re just brushing up for five minutes like they ask us to do every month

GREETINGS

WHAT IS YOUR NAME TRAVELER

And the text is so slow tbh so it’s like YES YOURE A WIZARD LET ME SORT SOME BOOKS SO THEY KNOW I CAN DO IT
