Why does the news increasingly sound like the lore of Cyberpunk 2077?
...but without the fucking cool stuff.
Give it 52 years and we'll have more cool stuff, plus 300% more ads.
We got some of it, its just that killer drones and SI aren't as cool on this side of the screen, and the cyberware is only for rich people (though there is a growing 3D printed movement for amputees) That said with some craft skills we can at least make the cool punk armor and kneepads and have it be reasonably functional, even deploy a blade if you're ambitious, though more predator than mantis in that regard.
Be the change you want to see.
Yeah, I think the constant barrage of bad news that you have no control over is too much. I'm spending more of my free time this year volunteering locally, mostly for selfish reasons like mental health and distraction from Politics.
Also, given how things are heading, this might be one of our last decent years for spending time outside. So, I’m making an effort to enjoy it while I can.
Sigh, it really does.
