Avenging Dentist posted:i don't even think it's that the world is getting the lovely parts of cyberpunk but that we're on the wrong side. we're not the deck-punching street samurai; we're the corporate drones i feel like william gibson (@greatdismal) is probably embarrassed by some of his early work in a modern context but mostly he's embarrassed all the way to the bank

Avenging Dentist posted:they are cool (ok sprawl is, haven't read bridge) and a real good way to get into the mind of tech-shitters is to read the books as if they were depicting a utopia (and really, if you're on top, they kinda are) bridge almost certainly inspired james cameron to make dark angel which i guess some people liked that actually sounds like a criticism but i liked them at the time gonna be weird rereading that

Smythe posted:its surprising 2 me that grown ups watch wwe/wcw etc wrestling hehe i had a psych professor who said she liked to watch it with her teenaged kids even though she was otherwise pretty smart the impression i get is that it's kind of a funny fake soap opera with sweet bodyslams (i don't know the names of the moves) and sweaty nearly naked dudes and sometimes women

prefect posted:is it the anniversary of the gold rush or something? okay this might be a little bit of speculation but republican/libertarian types see alaska as an escape from obama's america they can live off the grid, and that alaska real estate show features several houses that are off or nearly off the grid with exciting features like a bucket under your sink instead of a proper drain and an outhouse for making GBS threads in the freezing cold while worrying about bears but gently caress bears you'll be packing heat the female characters on this program are a mixed bag between 'i love my macho bearded white husband and submit to his christian authority' and 'i am tentatively agreeing to discuss the possibility of moving here for financial reasons'

JawnV6 posted:can everyone kinda 'control' that reflex? like when you're on a rollercoaster you can kinda 'let go' and the blood drains from you but if you're trying you can hold onto the pressure for longer? you could try wearing a g-suit or strengthening and then flexing your leg/trunk muscles like pilots do but 10gs sustained is pretty nuts they also pass out at much lower reverse gravity (redout) which even though you'd have plenty of blood in your brain you'd probably die from aneurysms

Sagebrush posted:this is interesting but the actual analogy he was talking about I think was the one where start-ups and investors are like pigeons bc one of them will see some food and go and peck at it, and then another couple will notice and go grab some too, and then suddenly 10000 pigeons descend on the area and swarm the place looking for the food, but by then it's gone and there was never enough for all of them in the first place and the original pigeons have long since moved on but no one noticed and now there's no food for anyone and it's just 10000 useless bird milling around making noise and making GBS threads on everything lmao
