  • Pen and paper Shadowrun was my first and still main cyberpunk game. And I really haven’t played it much.

    I’m a fan of the genre in general but cyberpunk games tend to be expansive dialogue-driven RPGs that my middle-aged ass ain’t got time for. It’s a shame, I’d probably love the writing for Disco Elysium and Cyberpunk 2077, but if I’ve only got so many gaming hours in a week, imma likely spend it on a roguelite or action game instead for the excitement and dopamine. Just being real.

    I did go on a nice Philip K Dick spree for a while and enjoy his stories. William Gibson was difficult when I first gave Neuromancer a read and I didn’t look into him farther, but I’m probably due. Another backlog for the fire.









  • Show solidarity with them. First things first is don’t give that business any money until the workers win.

    Have they talked to any union organizers, or are they going it wildcat? If they don’t have real support behind them to help pay bills etc, the strike will fold quickly and likely be unsuccessful - the boss just has to outlast them. Strike funds are crucial for this reason. If the workers don’t have a way to meet their needs, they’ll lose.

    Local social media and news outlets are good places to broadcast the strike. Talk to people at similar businesses and see if they can join the strike.









  • That’s what pretty much all prison labor is. They coerce you with “Good Time” and something to do.

    It’s still slavery, it’s not like they have a real choice. Do I rot in my cell or work and maybe get out a year early? Of course I’m gonna work. I’m not getting (really) paid for it, I’m just getting punished less. Sounds a lot like indentured servitude to me, which we all agreed was slavery too.
