In case you got psychological whiplash from this headline, let me explain: nothing, Forever is an AI-generated Seinfeld-like (originally a direct parody, but that era is long gone) game that goes on forever. Its predecessor was banned from Twitch for making transphobic jokes, then returned with new characters.

It's not even funny. As of this writing, the neutered show has only about 100-200 viewers, a far cry from the glory days of its initial release, when it reached thousands. Larry has been replaced by the world's most boring blogger, Leo Borges, and we are left with an empty shell of his former self.

Then, as discovered by 404media, the show fell further into ruin; Twitter user AnimeSerbia documented the collapse: the long-forgotten AI "Seinfeld Next Door" reboot is now down to 18 viewers 'The two characters say nothing more, just stand there in silence,' they write. "There is a strange orange man who silently makes the rounds of the house. He disappears for a few minutes at a time, then reappears sitting on the couch.

But that was only the beginning: things quickly evolved from surreal and bizarre to "something went terribly wrong. "404media's Jason Koebler writes, "For at least five days, a character from the AI "Seinfeld Next Door" has repeatedly walked into the refrigerator repeatedly. The creators are MIA. ...... This is the current loop of the show."

This brought back old fans to celebrate the fall of the once great AI Seinfeld empire. Shortly thereafter, however, the gears began to turn again. As my adventures today attest, it is an uneasy place to visit.

The performers don't interact with the digital world; they drift through it. I tuned in to watch a haunted soul twitching gently in its chair. Another asks: "What if we are now having a different conversation in a different timeline? An uneasy silence follows. Finally, like someone trying to keep the world's last candle burning, the co-star chimes in: "I got lost looking for the philosophy section in the library. Perhaps time ate it up."

Then the weather screen. The choice of music is haunting. It's like the dirge that plays after you've inadvertently ruined the world in some indie RPG. All that is missing is a ticking clock.

The denizens of Nothing, Forever are no longer trapped in refrigerator purgatory, but occasionally entangled in each other's hitboxes, able to get close but never actually touching each other. The background atmosphere is empty and somber, with only occasional canned laughter. Existential dread and looping time are the topic of nearly every scene.

Ultimately, I'm adding a lot of meaning to something completely haphazard here, but "Nothing, Forever" has gone from a strange experiment to a fascinating ruin. There are echoes of the concept, and this recent steer toward existential dread may be intentional, but I'm not sure if it's enough to restore it to its former glory. It is a "limbo" fleshed out digitally.
