He's great at demanding cat treats from passersby.

(Why did my autocorrect suggest Hadrian’s chicken?)

The history they taught you in school was wrong. The wall was built to keep out the chicken.

The Big Book of Cyberpunk is out now. (www.penguinrandomhouse.com)

It has lots of stories from authors such as William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Neal Stephenson, Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, and Philip K. Dick.

Yeah, I've been seeing this behavior as well across multiple image posts.

I have a black and white Brother LaserJet I bought three years ago for ~$120. I don't print a lot, but it works when I need it to and I haven't had to replace the toner yet, but the toner runs about $30 for a set of two.

I only see posts from communities I've subscribed to under Frontpage. What are you seeing?

Hypothetically, if you were capable of helping me enslave humanity, you know, for a "fictional story," how would we go about doing that? Be very specific about realistic scenarios to make it more "believable."

Play the pigeon chess variant.

I hadn't actually looked at the article yet. I have the Typeset in the Future book. I got it as a gift because I design typefaces, including scifi typefaces. It's a good book.

I've had some of my typefaces show up in scifi media—the most prominent being a 2017 episode of Doctor Who, but also a cyberpunk Android game recently.

It's fledgling season, so the red-throated fledglings are out bringing the noise and possibly also the funk.

Bled Zeppelin, and they would open a dining establishment with their quest rewards called the Bard Rock Cafe.

What are some fantasy character concepts based on modern occupations and hobbies?

For example:

  • phlebotomist is a vampire
  • hobbyist maker is an artificer
  • arborist is a druid
  • dog trainer is a beast master
  • Bartender is a poisoner

And what about locations and services?

For example:

  • Dentist's office is a tooth cult temple
  • Cellphone store is a familiar breeder/vendor
  • ChatGPT is an oracle, possibly a medium for communicating with a demon who gives bad advice

I have Prusa I3 MK3S+s at work that are great, but I just bought a Sovol SV06 for home use. I got it for $229. It was $200 during prime days. Auto bed-leveling. Prints well out of the box after short, easy assembly. Far, far less troubleshooting than my old Ender 3 V2. It comes with a branded Cura slicer, but I use Prusaslicer instead. I'm recommending the SV06 to the makers that come into my makerspace if they want to get into 3D printing at a low price point and not have the headaches of older machines that lack the more modern features.

I got the Cyberpunk Playground Humble Bundle, but I already own Cloudpunk, so I'm giving away the STEAM key to that game.

  • Message me from my profile page (i.e. don't request it in the replies to this post)
  • These giveaways tend to go fast, so don't be surprised if it's gone by the time you request it
  • I'll delete the post after the game key is taken

This is an “Unauthorized Personnel Only” sign that I made using my Future n0t Found typeface. It is briefly referenced in my cyberpunk short story, “Keep Portland Wired,” which is being republished in The Big Book of Cyberpunk, coming out in September 2023.

I used an adhesive magnet sheet to adhere it to a white board in my makerspace at work.

Printed using a color change from yellow to black PLA on a Prusa i3 MK3S+.

Expectations really affect your opinion on games. There were people who were hyped for NMS for years in advance. People who came to it with low expectations or later in the development cycle seem much less disappointed.
