CYBERDECK

NEW SINGLE - OUT NOW!

:revengeday: https://revenge.day/discography/cyberdeck

As you sit with your cyberdeck in front of the dataterm, trying to hack the corpo building, you realize that you are missing the right music. Suddenly, you remember that you downloaded a few audio files from an artist in Berlin from the old-net, an artist specializing in the perfect music for netrunning sessions.

You upload the tracks to your cyberdeck and let yourself be immersed in the digital world by the driving beats and pulsating synths. It's time to start your hack and infiltrate the corpo system - with the right music in your ears, you are unstoppable!

@revengeday Such a great tune! I'm starting the prep for my session tomorrow of CBR+PNK, reading one thing here, another there, listening to some tunes and getting inspired.

@revengeday I’ve already added several of your tunes to my Cyberpunk playlist.

ODY-C by Matt Fraction and Christian Ward

A gender twisted retelling of the Odyssey. Currently unfinished. This is the most innovative, extreme example of I've seen yet in mainstream-ish

@mrcompletely Thanks for sharing! I’m looking forward to start reading this, it seems amazing.

I've been struggling with Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space for so many years... I don't know why, but I've never finished the first chapter. I don't know if it's the pace of the characters, and I do love the main theme (archaeology, space exploration, etc).

I just finished reading Batman - The Long Halloween. It is without a doubt a masterpiece. I’ve said it here before, but the duo Jeoh Loeb and Tim Sale is very very good. Sale’s drawings are very expressive and authorial. I was quite shocked by the plot twist on the last page, it was impressive. I recommend reading.

@bloodravenlib @comics @bookstodon Reading on Halloween? That’s a great tradition you created.

I just started reading Batman - The Long Halloween, with the script by Jeph Loeb, art by Tim Sale and colors by Greg Wright. I imagine it may not have pleased everyone, but Sale’s art and Wright’s colors are phenomenal.

By the way, I’m quite impressed with The StoryGraph new improvements. Some of features aimed to paying users seems to be freely available for everyone. It’s such a great reading social media, you should try it. Ah, and please, feel free to add or follow me there (my username is factolvictor).

I just finished reading Batman - The Refurn of the Dark Knight, by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley. I really like this edition, it’s an outstanding discussion. It seems that, as always, the world is heading for cycles of entropy because of the traps we create ourselves. Unfortunately, we don’t have a Batman in real life to fix all the crappy things we did to ourselves.

I’ve had this game for several years, but now that I’m looking at it carefully. I just finished Chapter I and I can say that it is a very engaging story. For those who are a fan of Batman Year One, this game is for you.

Despite the problems it went through, Telltale has always known how to make narrative games of exceptional quality. It’s no different here.

@munroe @comics What about the second installment?

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@comics The story is so engaging that I couldn’t turn off the game and I decided to keep playing a little bit more. I’ve finished Chapter 2 now. What a fantastic game! What a twist!

factolvictor,
@factolvictor@dice.camp avatar

@munroe @comics I finally arrived at Chapter 4 of Batman - The Telltale Series. Two things happened that disconnected me from the game, which was the cliffhanger at the end of Chapter 3 and the appearance of the Joker. This plot of interning Bruce Wayne in Arkham has already happened elsewhere and I have always found it somehow inconsistent or at least a little bit off. I didn’t like the characterization of Joker. They could have called Mark Hamill to spice things up.

I’ve just finished reading
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. It’s outstanding in every way, a masterpiece.

Just came across this. Quite major flooding in Kazakhstan and Russia at the moment. It is frightening in itself how with more and more climate disasters everywhere, they may well cease to be news; nobody in other areas will know or care.

Somehow news of Israel’s AI use shifted me - now feel it may all really be dystopian quite soon, in many related ways at once (climate,economy, democracy, AI, military, human relations). Cheery Sunday morning thoughts!

@pvonhellermannn It’s scary and I agree with you. However, it was not a lack of warning.Anthropocene, Capitalocene, etc. It seems we’re already living in @paolobacigalupi ‘s dystopic Windup Girl.

Batman Night Cries (1987) is such a grim, complex and outstanding graphic novel that, after reading it, I’ve had to read it again. Such an amazing work by Archie Goodwin and Scott Hampton.

April 4. Another day in Commissioner Gordon’s old-new-life in the decrepit and corrupt Gotham City. But that will change, there is a hope, a light at the end of the tunnel. And it has bat wings.

I only learned to like Castlevania after I was 40 (when I was a kid I found the original game very difficult). Dead Cells for me is the perfect spiritual successor, even more so with the Return to Castlevania DLC. What an incredible tribute!

Cartoon of the main character of Dead Cells, a purple humanoid with a flaming head and wearing medieval armor. He extends his right hand and looks at you directly with his one eye.

This article by Gary Stevenson is so good, please read every word of it.

“Whatever Jeremy Hunt says, traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it.”

This is what the world is - it is run by a minute elite for a minute elite and the rest of us, the masses, the natural world, we just don’t count. It is a (will reshare my own piece on this below 1/n)

Such an astonishing dossier. I totally recommend everyone to read @pvonhellermannn ‘s and toots. It’s a bleak and troublesome reality we’re facing, it’s going to get a lot worse, but our best chance is to educate ourselves about this before it’s too late.

@pvonhellermannn I, as an anthropologist myself, believe that it is in these moments that we can most help others with this kind of awareness. And I think this cannot be restricted to the academic milieu, so sharing this information here on Mastodon or on other social networks is of great importance. Thank you for sharing!
