The insanely anxious passenger seated perfectly still with her eyes closed who believes she has a horse girl-like spiritual connection to the plane and is whispering soothing things to it in her mind during turbulence: ✅️
the thing fantasy racism doesn’t understand about real racism, and honestly all bigotry, is that it’s silly. like on its face it is absurdly silly. it follows zero logic at all. trying to backfill it with reason and logic belies a misunderstanding of this. so when you say the bigotry a class of fantasy people face is due to some event in the past, or some inherent danger to them, some genetic predisposition, or anything else to make it make sense, you’re giving credence to the idea that bigotry makes logical sense. which it doesn’t. it never has.
Oh? You'a need this Platinum Chip? This'a little thingy right here? Okie-dokie! Mario'a take it out of my bag and'a- oop! Oh no! It'a disappear with a little sparkle because I'a touch it! Because it'a type of coin! Oh dear! You'a never gonna see it again, Mr.‘a House!

Can someone help me find that funny post about an Ancap cop with a Bitcoin-operated siren showing up on a crime scene and begging someone to pay him to investigate the crime and nobody pays him? I think it was a greentext but might not have been… searching off tumblr only gets me pro-ancap memes on Reddit
The trick is you search ‘libertarian cop copypasta’ and you get it immediately.
You know, one of the most shameful consequences of scifi/game authors not knowing shit is cyberpsychosis, or Essence, or whatever in-universe asspull for a mechanical limiter on how much cyberware you can cram into a character sheet.
There is an easy excuse in real life! You may not be able to get both a pacemaker and a DBS device because they’re both pieces of sensitive equipment that could theoretically interfere with each other, and nobody engineered them not to. Trivially you can extrapolate this to all cybernetics. If your various augs weren’t Specifically designed not to mess with each other (and of course the various megacorps might take things a step further, making their shit actively hostile to mix-and-matching), you might have problems; and obviously, the more pieces of hardware you’ve patchworked yourself with, the worse things get. You’d have to be one real crazy motherfucker to tell a back-alley doctor to load you up with whatever they’ve got.
It’s more grounded and more realistic and less shitty and it actively enhances the atmosphere of cyberpunk in a way that “losing your humanity” does not. we are missing out on much because none of these writers know anything about how medtech works
Hello and welcome, visitor; please make yourself at home! On this blog you'll find a lot of history stuff, with some science fiction mixed in. Mostly it's just full of video games.
I'm Auster, mid-20s, and I like slam poetry, ships (both sailing and star), swords, and terrible puns. I am forever salty about our 7th president, and my hobbies include swashbuckling, revolting against the monarchy, and being a cyberpunk who fights against injustice.
Any pronouns are fine!
