    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    To paraphrase Heinlein, "I wrote 'Stranger in a Strange Land' and they called me a communist. I wrote 'Starship Troopers' and they called me a fascist. I was just writing stories."

    The only problem is that the megacorps are the ones developing the chrome. I fully expect there will be subscription fees to use "your own" eyes.

    If you've never read the short story that the Keanu movie is (very loosely) based on, you owe it to yourself. Gibson published it online, for free, and it's easily available in HTML or PDF. I will forever say that Dina Meyer was robbed of what could have been the role of her career (Molly Millions).

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I really shouldn't go in to Tandy when they have a sale on. Al that I wanted was a $5.00 brass plated belt buckle, but I left with a half a cow worth of 9 ounce veg tan leather as well. On the upside they gave me 25% off,instead of the sale's 15%, for the leather that I didn't really need yet. WIP

    Hey, I'm still holding out hope for Keanu as a live action Johnny Silverhand.

    Keep an eye open. Sometimes, when that happens, you'll find that one or more of the creatives, that were originally involved, split off to pursue projects more like their original vision.

    There's a fantasy add-on for Cyberpunk 2020 out there, somewhere. Many years back I played in such a campaign and vampires were nasty. You could also do a TORG/TORG 2e campaign and just use the Cyberpapacy, or Tharkhold, for Fantasy + Cyberpunk.

    I cut my Cyberpunk teeth on Gibson and Sterling, who are pretty much seminal to the genre. These days I think that there's a lot of genre mixing that blurs the lines, but it's not a bad thing. To me, "Arcane" is Steampunk/Fantasy. Stuff like Shadowrun is Cyberpunk/Fantasy, with novelizations...

    Far too many people seem to have no respect for the time of others. I tend to get where I say that I'm going at least 10 minutes early.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    For some reason I now want to see a video of "The City Sleeps" starring MC 500 Foot Galactus. I read the emotional separation of the FF and society in general as a natural result of the absolute hero worship they experienced.

    On the TTRPG and photography front I took this shot, in 2011, to introduce an encounter to my players. I used a 23" LCD as my "video wall" for the background.

    I did professional(ish) track photography from the late '90s, up until lockdown. I still drag my cameras with me when go on an infrequent vacation, or day trip somewhere. http://www.morallyambiguous.net/

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    A lot of people on social media would likely end up "disabled in person", if they acted to people's faces the way that they do behind a keyboard.
