Different genres too.

Highguard is very much in that Overwatch, Fortnite looser shooter category.

The players it attracts are a lot less forgiving than RPG fans who played F76.

#Bountiful compassion from people who've never needed it. Aimed at people who never asked for it.

The oppressed weren't consulted when the placards came out.

They weren't asked their opinions when the slogans started bellowing.

Because asking would be bad for the narrative.

The only difference I see is F76 was an existing IP with a fan base even with the reception they knew Fallout players were there, they just had to fix it to keep them.

Highguard didn't have that luxury.

Gorillaz have this genre bending vibe that feels out of time.

Franz Ferdinand very much feels like that The Strokes, White Stripes, The Hives garage band era.

Even if I like and listen to all of them, they feel dated to that specific time.

It's hard to pinpoint. I love what we have, the world, lore, stories, gameplay.

But... Night City itself is both complete & wasted potential at the same time. It's that "left wanting more" thing that keeps me thinking about the world.

Kinda like when you move country & still dream of home.

3/3 If people do want to support me.

Please do so by watching my feature film Pops. Which drops to rent/buy on Amazon Prime on March 20th.

It's a very british comedy that'll have you laughing & maybe even crying.

I've been asked by listeners about Pateron, Kofi & merch.

With this project, its not something I am willing to do.

#Cyberpunk2077 is not my IP. Even though write for a living, this project is a work of Fan Fiction.

It's for free, it's for fun & it's my love letter to the game. Nothing more.

1/? Even though this as primarily been an Audio project.

Because I feel audio is "less of an ask" than reading.

I am contemplating putting #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point on Substack (free)

Not sure if I'll do chapter by chapter drops or put the whole thing out as one.

Woke at 7:30. Wanked to an old memory. Doom scrolled.

Out of bed by 9:30, dressed by lunch.

Half an hour to take a shit, watching slop again.

Need to start doing something.

It's the afternoon. Sleepy.

Netflix on, can't find anything, eyelids droop.

Perpetual #lethargy. It's dark.

Efeds for wrestling RPing used to be a thing. Other RPing in video games like #GTA and #FFXIV exist.

I can't see any reason why you couldn't do this for TTRPGs as well.

You'd have to adapt it to being in the world, rather than a narrative story based around your crew.

If an App was set up to allow ongoing games, not only text based but videos too.

You wouldn't need AI.

They could come & go as they please & while the DM would need to adapt to the fact players are interchangeable.

This could still exist, could still be done and without AI slop.

I know for a fact i could GM Cyberpunk like this, text based with interchangeable players.

1/? I've seen vids/ads for an AI #TTRPG DM.

Mostly for D&D.

& it got me thinking, the appeal to this so it seems is to play D&D anywhere, at anytime with no scheduling issues. (No humans)

But this could exist with humans, right?

So a text based TTRPG app where users can join sessions

After the #cataract surgery, she could finally see her husband's face clearly.

Twenty-three years of marriage. With that face?

She asked for a divorce lawyer.

Told the nurse the operation had been a complete success... the marriage not so much.

Only 8 episodes left in #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point.

Fun fact if you go to the Northside Apartment in game, you can find Byte's room 1233 and underneath it is a server room, the perfect place for a Netrunner to live.

2/2

Not as some ape-like chest-pound.

I'm just sick of AI sloppers thinking AI can do what I can & to the level I can.

If 1 month is the time frame, I'll do it & I'll self publish the finished result.

1/2 I've seen this quote by some AI hack & arguments that it also takes a month to polish AI slop.

I'm tempted to take the challenge, Can I as a human, write a novel in a month?

Given I've been taking part in #FlashFicFeb & writing daily. I think I could do it.

In April I'll attempt it.

With Cyberpunk any group I've joined always had some slant on the rules.

Its one of things I love about it over other TTRPGs is just how much home brewing goes on.

Less "snobbery" in those groups when it comes to newcomers too.

#Enchanted is a full tank of petrol.

Enchanted is not having to choose between eating and heating.

Enchanted is when the landlord fixes the damp instead of raising the rent.

Enchanted is paid sick leave.

They promised magic. We got zero-hour contracts and another trip to the food bank.

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

She said his cock was as #miniscule as his hands.

He didn't deny it.

Instead he paid her a hundred and thirty grand to stop talking about it.

Which is exactly what a micropenis does when it gets elected instead of erected.
