Always remember that The Future is a place where people live.

Funny things that I think probably happen with cyberware more often than Pondsmith and CDPR would write in the text but I just think they're neat if only from a wordbuilding perspective:

Hair getting caught in your deep dive port when you try to plug the link in.

Your sleeves getting stuck in the seams of your arm cyberware when the mechanisms retract back in.

Mantis blades accidentally shredding your long sleeves when you flex them.

A ripperdoc not having your exact shade of skintone on your new limb, and telling you to wait to get it replaced while it's on backorder.

Blue Screen of Death on netrunner 'ware.

Needing to register the new fingerprints on your hand if you get it replaced with a cybernetic, and the complications of having two hands that might not match up printwise.

People 'tattooing' the chromed parts of their body via laser engraving.

Metal plating getting so hot during the summer that you accidentally burn yourself trying to scratch your nose.

Forgetting to deslot shards and accidentally carrying them around in your head for a week.

Needing to clean the gunk out of your mantis blades or projectile launcher at home, so you flex it open and scrub at it with a bunch of paper towels or a bristle brush for an hour.

Rust and tarnish cleaner being a staple in home cyberware maintenance.

Actually buying projectile launcher rounds.

Someone starting a Mythbusters/Jackass style TV show about cyberware ("Hey gang! Today we're asking 'Is it possible to punch through a 3-foot cinderblock wall using only seven-gen Gorilla Fists?'")

Just generally playing with your personal link. Strumming it. Spinning it. Thwacking people with it. Built in fidget toy.

And it's scriptwriting time again! But first, there was plotting. Just lots and lots of outlining--not only for episode 11, but for the next five or six episodes after it, too. Major thanks to SinclaireDeLune (https://www.instagram.com/sinclairedelune  ) and Ehan Viles for their help with that!

On previous episodes, a lot of meat was already written out years in advance. I just had to stitch it together. But, we've finally hit a point in the story where not a lot has been fleshed out, so I've had to do some fleshing. The Formicosa City part of the story has been hard for me to get a grasp on in particular the entire time I've been working on HBG, so that isn't helping. On top of that, a lot of episodes have been dragging more than I would like, so I really want to tighten up these next ones.

Now, at least a week for storyboarding, and another week for recording voices and making the animatic, after which I can ship that off to DDX.exe (https://ddxexe.bandcamp.com/ ) for her to start on music.

Then, I can finally begin model and asset work. I'm going to be looking into some new workflows, so the amount of time that will take is unpredictable. I also can't say a lot about how long staging, blocking, and animating will take until the animatic is done. At this point, I'm tentatively looking at a release somewhere in the ballpark of April to May. We'll see how it goes. Until next time!

God YES! Cold war era sci-fi is on a totally different level in examining our relationship with the extremely destructive technology we have created, and the god like power we have gained.

IHNMAIMS is th perfect synthesis pf all that fear and power

@mothercain that I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream reference legitimately shocked me and left me with mouth agape

Micro-scale Spacecraft by David Roberts Via Flickr: The last of my micro-scale ships: for the moment at least! On the left is a relay beacon. These ships were a common sight on the western belt of the galaxy, where navigation infrastructure was less developed. On the right is a mega-tanker, used for bulk shipping of fuels across the galactic disc.

Nobody Can Help You: Chapter 01

Superhumans have existed for decades. Superheroes are a simply a specialized division of law enforcement answering to the Department of Superhuman Integration. As a result Superheroes exist to protect the status quo, serving a government and the politicians' wealthy donors through a legal monopoly on force. To the average Superhero, it's not about saving people... It's just a job.

Who protects the people in a world where the heroes have been bought?

Who do you call for help when the heroes don't work overtime?

Who stands up for the rights of the people when the heroes side with riot police to squash dissent?

In Port Xavier that job falls to Cassie 'Culverin' Queensbury and the rest of her team 'The Nobodies' because when the heroes aren't Super then... NOBODY CAN HELP YOU

Now that the prologue is finished we're starting the story properly.

Huge fan of how extra this is. This is what the actual movie looks like:

15 million dollars at the box office.
