The Blade and the Runner: Tokyo Drift is my favorite

…ok I’m fucking saving that for an RPG campaign I haven’t written yet

…fucking hell I’ve got Netrunner on the brain. the card game about socialist hackers doing the best they can with what they can scrap together, organizing an economic war against extremely well-financed and terrifyingly powerful but inefficient corporations that almost own the entire world and will if you don’t single-handedly stop them

and as if that wasn’t cyberpunk enough, modern Netrunner is completely free and built on a game system and concept appropriated from Fantasy Flight after they let the game go out of print (though you can pay a reasonable price for good-quality printed cards, and they adopted roughly Fantasy Flight’s seasonal model that lets you do a MtG style deckbuilder without the greed elements, which is very nice)

e: and Musk is quoted in the other thread like “huh huh huh we all want cyberpunk right but just the duster not the other parts” and it’s like motherfucker a used duster’s normal hazard protection for a dying earth, ask me how I know, and all the other parts of any cyberpunk that’s worth a damn are about how much you fucking suck

no thx, nobody here is your dad and I don’t think anybody needs to explain why

I think for many women “being inseminated by” IS a big thing.

is a weird fucking thing to say in the context of the post you’re replying to

this is only part of why Netrunner is the superior deckbuilder

unfortunately, the US election season is the time for tedious motherfuckers to try some shit

see I’m slowly shifting my vocabulary to tap unless I’m DIYing an NFC sticker into a project, but sometimes my cursed engineering brain takes over

maybe both should be tap. maybe it’s all tap. REST calls are now taps.

it’s embarrassing as fuck though when NFC’s either broken at the terminal or really finicky, so you have to get the cashier to slowly, painfully re-request the payment twice before giving up and seeing if your chip still works

or you’re at Walmart or CVS and they intentionally disabled it in all their stores for asshole reasons

even more embarrassing: I accidentally call it NFT and the cashier knows what that is and thinks I’m a fucking idiot

congrats on subjectively being an utter shithead to an African while supposedly complementing African countries in your trainwreck of a post

fuck off now

I hope so too! I like their approach so far, and a NixOS fork by the same folks seems like something I’d switch to as soon as I reasonably could

I love Blade Runner, but I don’t know if we want that future. I believe we want that duster he’s wearing, but not the, uh, not the bleak apocalypse.

there’s nothing more painful than when capitalists think they understand cyberpunk

the Determinate Nix move was such an obvious next step I was convinced they had already done it; I guess they can let the mask fall off now that they’ve consolidated their control over the community. as was pointed out on mastodon, Determinate Systems previously promised this wasn’t their goal, which goes to show how much a promise from a fascist is worth.

fortunately it seems like Lix has a NixOS fork on the horizon? I only know about it because the “just fork it or shut up” assholes are now complaining that a fork’s happening (which they seem to only know about by obsessively monitoring Lix’s git forge — I don’t think there’s been an announcement yet)

ask your big brother what it’s like to be ejected from an Internet forum for being an absolute shithead
