None of these get too heavy because if you're taking cyberpunk too seriously youve lost the plot. The video game has lots of gore and violence but its also very cartoonish

Snowcrash by neal stephenson is a classic. William Gibson's early stuff really invented the genre so you'll see where a lot of conventions come from, but his more recent stuff like Peripheral is better written imo. Cyberpunk the video game also great ofc and is based on the ttrpg

Great article but as an Albertan I have to inform you there are plenty of mice. Just no rats. We had the same mice fantasies! Redwall makes a lot more sense to me now that i pive in a place with rats. Also please imagine having never seen a rat in your life and seeing a full size rat trap.

Excellent bird art

Are you playing through the remakes? I did that a couple years ago with my bf. Surprisingly fun! And you get to the inspiration for a lot of stuff that came after

My experience with American co workers is that thanksgiving is the only weekend they take off so its a much bigger deal to them!

Was just going to say this because im playing FF12 right now. Im sure it was judged harshly at the time but honestly its a fun game, especially with the remaster QoL updates.

I just got back from the farmers market and like... all the goods are there! Its time to eat!

I do think tags get a bit of bad rap. Can be used spammily for sure but its also how you find the people you want to!

No bc they're often "cutscenes" where you have to think about timing and movement but in code. Or its some essential but annoying UI stuff. But playing games i love seeing those one offs!

Please no, this whole saga is making me hungry enough as it is

Which ones?

Wow, what is going on in Cyprus!? Very over represented

Holdover from real life where new towns and cultures are built on top of the old ones i think? Ex. Medeval towns built over roman ones

Love a train
