Gibson talks about this in his prologue, and other anachronisms in Neuromancer (specifically his lack of imagination regarding phones)—he was envisioning the dull grey of a dead tv signal of his childhood, not the crazy black and white static of the late 20th and early 21st century; but the sentiment tracks even though he probably wasn’t event thinking that about any of the implications, given his displeasure of even being lumped in with cyberpunk as a genre (which I think is really confoundedly stupid on his part).

Probably not. Harmful radiation and extreme temps would probably kill most thing but to quote the inimitable Dr. Ian Malcom: “life uoogh… life finds a way…”

So maybe we’d get some shitty mars potatoes to fight in a JRPG in the coming future.

Edit: I still think Venus is a much better candidate for possible extraterrestrial bases simply because it is about the same mass as earth and has an atmosphere and magnetosphere.

Float some fucking ballon villages in that bitch.

I think a lot of people forget in discussing mars as the end all be all of the first stepping stone forget that it’s a fourth the size of earth and (maybe even more inhospitable to life on the surface) than Venus could be in the clouds.

Also I am probably more informed than those rich assholes who stole all our wealth so maybe we just kill E. Coli Musk amd its cohorts and repurpose the entity of Musk’s unearned wealth into making this perfectly usable planet (Earth) sustainably usable.

Sounds like you are not qualified to interview people for jobs.

Crazy you get to hire people only working 4 days a week.

Why do you have that authority?

Why are you only willing to give 4 days a week of your time to your glorious employer.

Are you not serious about your goals with that company?

If you think this is cool then let me tell you I have a device cool your room by nasa science 90 degrees 6 seconds. This item is so powerful it can’t even be spelled in stores tried 9 times and realtors refused sell it. This knife is so cool it won’t even overheat the meat in cutting and will help your grandma and dad when they are cooking the food without any problem

we need to go back to the tried and true method of a calendar field to prove age. i know that kept me out of all the dirty sites back when i was born in 1979 through 84.

Could argue he does. Pistol, arm, big laser arm.

Tank! by the Seatbelts for Cowboy Bebop is probably one of the best openers of all time for anything.

Jerry Goldsmith was a genius

Mix between The Light and Ima Ima Ima by Perfume and various YOASOBI tracks—production on both are just so pleasing.

As far as I can tell from my agency’s IT department it takes no qualifications or knowledge of anything. Just apply to jobs. Someone will be stupid enough to hire you and you can just google search basic trouble shooting and quickly become the CTO!

Teardrop. Although it did lead me down the rabbit hole to Cocteau Twins so kinda worth it.

If you’re open to manga: Dungeon Meshi

Other than pc games of that vintage I don’t think there is a single piece of software I enjoy using these days, they all hog all the ram and fill your screen with login prompts and popups about how useless AI features can further ruin your day.

Wat

what is the manga you’re likely summarizing here because I am vaguely interested in reading it. Love me some trash manga. and if this is your real life—you live in a hellscape and are probably just lines.
