we're all the worst kind of chrome samurai now

AVAILABLE NOW on ITCH.IO!

The year is 2023 and it is the future.

Corporations rule the streets of the Infinite City. Skyscrapers blot out the blackened sky. The rain is constant and smells like sulfide. Bosozoku patrol the alleys, protests against the Black Shakes fill the streets, and the media doesn't give a damn anymore.

You are one of the chosen, to be sure; one of the few, to be pure. Make your way through the dystopian hellfuture. Steal to make your living. Build a new future for yourself. You're gonna get out of this or you're going to die trying.

Play as a COP, CORPO, FIXER, MEDIA, NOMAD, ROCKER, SOLO or TECH. Carve out a name for yourself. Stick it to the bastards once and for all.

A VIEW FROM THE EDGE 2023 is a retroclone of the classic 1993/2020 edition of the classic cyberpunk roleplaying game. In this edition, we have strived to keep all rules and tables compatible with the original release but updated the layout and design to modern standards.

GET IT HERE!

genuinely so many of you want to be leftist and "punk" and countercultural soooooo bad but you refuse to become comfortable with the concept of people taking drugs for fun because they like it and not because they were somehow tricked or forced into it without knowing what they were getting themselves into

you'll be like "addiction is a disease!!" but think you're better than those degenerate stoners because you only drink energy drinks and white claws and would never touch "illegal drugs"

many if not most drugs CAN be consumed completely safely with almost 0 risk to the user and even if that werent true and all drugs were extremely dangerous you still wouldn't be better than those of us who love doing drugs recreationally

lighten up and grow up. get offline, talk to real adults, and stop being shocked to discover that they enjoy doing stuff that adults do like have sex and do drugs and even listen to rock and roll

#put punk in parantheses bc yall are hardcore straight edge at best lmao #goes to a punk show in someones basement and gasps when i see people snorting coke off each other in the corner #anyway heres your regular reminder from your friendly neighborhood drug addict that drugs can be and often are consumed safely #LSD‚ MDMA‚ psilocybin‚ cannabis of course‚ ketamine‚ coke‚ whippets. these are all drugs that i personally have used #and that are completely safe when used correctly and by someone who doesn't have some sort of allergy #even if someone is on a dangerous drug like meth or heroin you are not better than them #in fact theyre probably a lot chiller than your ass if youre still viewing drugs as a thing for 'degenerates' to do #literally can not hang out with non druggies anymore bc they cannot stop themselves from moralizing it #i mention that my vape has thc in it and i get That Look and a bunch of 'i would never smoke weed. i mean its fine. i just would NEVER'#i get it! you view drugs as a thing thats only for poor people or people who dont care about themselves or whatever #i call that the go ask alice effect. people will think you smoked weed then immediately had sex got pregnant and died of a heroin overdose #even when they think theyre being super progressive

*grips Shen Qingqiu by the shoulders*

aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to crack under the pressure of the system and the robbed autonomy of being forced into a role you had no choice in but have to play anyways? don't you want to buckle under the realization that, to you, no matter what you do your life is going to end in a horrific death? Whether that be under Luo Binghe's hands or the System's?

Don't you want to realize that no matter all the good you have done and the lives you have changed and saved, you're still standing at the ledge of a cliff with a sword to your disciple's chest?

Shouldn't it be you at the edge instead? Balancing on the crumbling dirt's end of death on either side, and you can either walk into it or be forced?

don't you want to go apeshit?

#I AM SO NORMAL YOU GUYS I PROMISE *visibly foaming at the mouth and gritting my teeth so hard you can hear them crack*#svsss #scum villain #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #scum villain self saving system #HI YES I MAY NOT HAVE READ THE NOVEL AND ONLY BEEN HERE FOR A WEEK BUT I AM. OBSESSED. FIXATED IF YOU WILL #luo binghe standing at the edge of the endless abyss and he sees something snap in his shizun's eyes like metal creaking under #the pressure of the deep sea. or like heat rising too quickly. the steady slow snap of someone hanging on by a thread.#i dont think i've fully understood sqq's characterization howEVER. i think i've got enough of his character down to try and twist it the wa #i think could happen. forgive me if this isnt in character or anything ajhf #anyways i love isekai anything and i think the system could slowly drive someone who didnt ask to be here insane #SY adjusts rather quickly from what i've heard but what if he DIDN'T. what if it wasnt fine what if he was trying his best and it was #taking its toll because apparently trying his best just wasnt enough. his stubborn refusal to view the people around him as people #but as characters following a script is very frustrating to me but also it works in my favor for this. look at the best way to break him is #*stares at SQQ* i think he should go apeshit. as a treat. skin a man alive SQQ. bite someone. rip out their throat.#i know thats prolly not his character but what if it COULD be. what if it IS. people are so nuanced and niche and can change at the turn #of a dime and SQQ has been forced into an unfavorable position and frankly traumatic experience. he could change or he could not and #isnt that FASCINATING? to erode or to stand tall. are you copper or are you a canyon. will you change colors and stay the same or will you #crumble and shear and become something new? when facing the elements when facing the inevitable what will you become?

the edge of sleep show had a bit of jank but i honestly really enjoyed it for that, it felt surreal and Weird in a similar way to how i view the janky voice acting in the original Silent Hill 2 where it really added to it. i'm not even a markiplier fan or anything but i had a lot of fun w it

#tbh w indie productions all ever really i ask for is like #1) did it look good #2) did i enjoy the base concept #and 3) did i have fun #and it ticked all those boxes #i will say some of the cinematography was REALLY inspired #i did like mark as an actor but i found his character dave a little bland? but that was fine #and honestly some of the weirder character decisions make sense when viewed from the lens of them being like. severely sleep deprived #BECAUSE HONESTLY SOMETIMES THEY MAKE SOME VERY SILLY DECISIONS #BUT IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE DYING OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION #the edge of sleep #starscream.txt

Danse has to get homesick In Sanctuary. Like despite being uncertain of how much his past is real including times with the Brotherhood, those memories were home. The Brotherhood was home especially the Prydwen.

No matter all the comfort and the luxuries SoSu could put to make him feel more relaxed or like it’s his space it’s still not home. It’s so unique to him cause everyone else has a home in a sense. A thing or place they can come and go to as they please while Danse doesn’t. He can never go back to the people he considered family and they can never go to him without serious consequences. It doesn’t help that (due to his own faults and beliefs) a good majority of the new people in his life do not exactly like him.

It’s so isolating for him as the wasteland is also a different culture in general. Theres so much he’s not used to vs what he is. But all in all I think that’s a good thing. I feel as if Danse had a better arc in game it would 100% have him learning or developing a sense of home before a sense of self. I think it gets overlooked that Danse is a person that likes or feels like he needs to belong to something. A cause, a philosophy, a mission. He needs a goal. He must learn to live for himself and his purpose but it’s clear he wants to find that through something which is why he latches onto the Sole Survivor after rather than just wander the wastes. He needs something, anything to base a sense of self on at this point in time and who better than the person that opened their home to him in the first place.

He’s a dude that needs a foundation or home to ground himself on or else he doesn’t know what to do with himself or even start.

#my persona take it that’s why despite Danse being an ass to the other companions at time SoSu gets it cause they remember when they just #woke up from the vault #like the world was so different and the things they thought were outdated wrong or nonexistent by now #Danse has a long way to go but they know how hard and detrimental it can be to do it by yourself and they know Danse would get better if he #actually learned and lived under not the bigots of steel #cause I put him in sanctuary after and he always stays far from everyone like strong and patrols the edge like he’s avoiding everyone or he #is not comfortable there so I imagine he’s like getting used to and actually letting it settle he’s a synth #his life if he wants to call it that is a lie and th wonky place he felt like he had a purpose now wants him dead #and finds him a disgrace and he certainly does to cause of bos propaganda #like he’s racist but the story clearly shows you it’s like this is what been enstilled in him cause he can get better that blind betrayal #and before I get someone being like but he only gets better cause he experiences the oppression and like yeah #he got yanked out of a pseudo religious organization with highly conservative views for the setting and was put at thr opposing end despite #all hes done and rhe brotherhoods supposed loyalty to each other doimg nothing tk belp #him and now hes realizing thag if he was a synth and didnt know ans lived a life fully beliving he was human #than maybe the brotherhood was wrong abouy things or at least synths #like hes not gonna change over night and bethany esda certainly does not know how to right charactwr arcs well in this game #fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #paladin danse #danse fallout 4 #talking about him like i ever side with the brotherhood

So sad my motivation to do art dies so quickly due to multiple reasons. I’ve really got to try and get out this rut of hoping for more from my art when of course it’s not going to do so when it’s not fandom art nor do I post often enough 💀

anyway, have a doodle of Devious with his son when he was younger as that one picture.

#is this a rant? not really more a talk into the void to convince myself xD #I often kick myself for dipping from social media during the peak of my art popularity.#It was popular because of FE3H but my oc stuff got some views too it was good #but overwhelming so I left.#So double edged sword #anyway might delete later but it’s a big hill to climb and I’ll get over it🫡💪#buggee randoms

realisation that lenú and lila l’amica geniale are the equal and opposite reaction to tenoch and Julio y tu mamá también

#The repressed working class 60’s Neapolitan lesbians versus the repressed 2000’s middle & upper class Mexican bisexuals #In either case! It’s about class! And a nation at a juncture! And violence seeping at the edges! And repressed queer sexuality #Julio and tenoch fuck once and never talk to each other again lenú and Lila never fuck (acc’d the books) and end up in a psychosexual #Codependency for half a century #Either way! Class issues and the most insane teenage behavior you’ve ever seen and trips to the beach!#L’amica geniale #Y tu mamá también #something about the jealousy rage pent up rage pent up grief at what can’t be I want to put your head through a window I want your life I #Want to be you I want to destroy you forever #The way Julio views tenoch the way Lila vies lenú #I think there’s also so much that’s fascinating in the way l’amica geniale is about Napoli and the way t tu mamá también is about Mexico #With the internal center/periphery dynamics #A story about two poor girls from the ocean-adjacent working class area #And their struggle to/journey to the national capital to the middle and upper classes to the center #And then the story about the boys from the comparatively upper echelons of Mexico City driving out to Chiapas to the beach #Perfect inverses!#A weekend versus fourty years

Alpha 5 shaded like how Lethal Company procedurally generates its game shaders!!!

#so how Lethal Company generates its shaders*: 860x520 game res*> realistic shaded layer>dupe of that layer w/ posterisation>light layer>#dupe layer w/ posterisation(bloom w/ lowish opacity)>edge detection to outline objects and folds at close range(5-7ft radius?)>#low opacity fog layer(?)>radial fog layer>weather effects>model layer*>colour correction>game res correction to 1920x1080 #*1 this is all from memory from a video Acerola made on the graphics(go check it out pleaase)#*2 this is how the game looks so low quality; it is low quality #*2a its not faked w/ a filter; adds warp to the screen which adds to the vibe somehow #*3 the camera view is actually in the helmet so thats how that works. thats how the cracks on the glass have shading when you move #I love alpha 5 #heart emoji #best boy ever #my baby boy #he is so cute look at him #his little head tilts are always going to make me giggle #i love him #pixelart #pixelartist #alpha 5 #power rangers #fanart #show fanart #bustshot #shaded #experimental shading style #lethal company mention #consciousexeart

hello i am going insane over the Truman Show again

the fact that we the audience are so distanced from Truman, is done wonderfully. before he even becomes fully aware that there's camera's that could be watching them, and figuring out where they are, there are still so many moments were his face is blocked by something, or he's looking away, and creates distance. i don't think he ever talks to himself during the entire movie. the closest we get to being inside his head, is during flashbacks, but even then it's still an outside perspective of the events that are being played when it's pretty likely from context cues that he's thinking about the event. the only times we know what he's thinking, is when he's telling someone he knows about it. and as the amount of people he realizes he can trust dwindles throughout the movie, the less we know of his thoughts. even his entire escape happens off-screen until he almost reaches the ocean wall, and they find him through the cameras. we didn't even know he had a plan to escape still until he's already gone, and Marlon is left to find the ladder leading to the hole in the basement (admittedly, he did give a hint with his "That one's for free" in regards to his final mirror daydream. but again it's something that he specifically decided to share! it wasn't us hearing his thoughts, it was him telling the camera he knew what was going on)

despite being the main character, the movie is specifically not shown from Truman's POV and i think they did an amazing job at it

#op #i am OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE #oh and also how all the camera shots in SeaHaven are all positioned as if it's really being filmed by hidden cameras? *chef's kiss*#and the bubble/glass eye effect (forgot the name aaaaah) that makes the edges appear distorted? that helps so much in adding that #distance from Truman since it subtely reminds us that he's not in on it! we are viewing things from a third party POV!#truman show #the truman show

This post below contains suggestive to lewd content [18+]. Please, scroll down if you are not comfortable with the subject.

Thank you ^^

This was based on a dream I recently had and I wished I have more time watching this unfold, had I not been waken up by my sibling :']

I can't remember much about what happened before this began, but I'll try to recall some of them.

It all began with Red not cleaning the house and was sleeping at his bed. Then Edge bursted into his room and yelled at Red for not doing a single chore. Some shouting happened, but the one thing that tipped Edge into a fit of anger was Red losing an item that he held dearly and had trusted Red to keep it safe.

Red felt ashamed for breaking his brother's trust, so he kept quite while Edge chewed him out. After the fight, Edge left the room with the door slammed. It took a few minutes of Red shaming himself before attempted to search for the lost item.

I'm not sure what happened here, so you can imagine it yourself :']

The next thing Red knew, he woke up in his bedroom and was tucked in. He couldn't remember what happened, but the mess in room brought him back to the argument he had with Edge. He scrambled to find the item on him. When he realized it wasn't there, tears were forming in his eye sockets and knew that his brother won't look the same way again and he'd be all alone.

While Red was in his spiralling thought, Edge walked inside his room and immediately hugged his older brother. He calmed Red down and told him how thankful he was for retrieving his lost item back to him.

And then this scene began.

#fontcest #fellcest #papysans #papyrus x sans #sans x papyrus #pray that it doesn't get nuked XDDD #I'm so jealous of edge >:'[#it should've been me eating red out #oh well #at least I got a good view from my dream ^^

in the Horrors bonanza year that has been 2024 nobody expected the oldest and dearest Horrors of all (covid horrors) to make a third act comeback

#:)#girl who is so clinically vulnerable she's one of the like 10 people the nhs is actually offering the covid vaccine to this winter #anyway for those not in the know my parents are super extreme anti the covid vaccine #and went to great lengths to keep me from getting it in 2021 that were very deranged and tiring to think about #and then went to an antivax rally right at the height of the winter 2021 outbreak and gave me covid from that #and i was so sick i was bedbound until april sleeping 20 hours a day with circulation/bp issues and lost 175 pounds in 12 months #and then entered the 'catching covid very bad every few weeks' carousel that most of you will be familiar with #which probably ultimately ended up being the thing that killed my organs and put me in critical care lmao #anyway!! my health developments did NOT sway my parents' views on anything so the minute they figure out i've been offered this #the good old brainworms will once more take center stage and girls i have too much going on to endure this shit again #genuinely think if things get dumb over this it'll be the final straw that actually pushes me over the edge lmfao

i've really dithered around the puppet rabbit hole for my entire life, sometimes sitting by it and dangling my legs over the felted abyss, but by worm am i jumping headfirst into it now with perfect diving form

#& by perfect diving form i mean Flailing and Screaming #ive always loved puppets but i've always denied myself this simple love #or had this love denied due to no one around me neither friend nor family nor foe exposing me to its beauty #so i had to gaze upon the puppets from afar #dhmis baited me closer to the edge... then the professor #and then welcome home shoved me in when i wasnt looking #now im watching muppet compilations. i want to watch the movies. I Want Puppets.#theres just something about them!!#theyre friend shaped in the most bizarre way!#whats really strange is i dont like dolls. sentient or otherwise. they freak me the fuck out #but puppets? which from an objective viewpoint are scarier or at least are way more in the uncanny valley territory?#i cant be scared. or unsettled. they're Friends and thats It. end of story. they could be out to kill me and id still be 🥺#absolutely unprompted #i like it when they get violent tho. its funny #my favorite dhmis moment is the friendship fight #and watching these muppet compilations... when they throw down... hell yeah fuck each other up!!!!#my desire for viewing blood and violence meshes wonderfully with puppets. theyre so <3<3<3<3 #gripping dragons in one hand and puppets in the other #hey speaking of both maybe. maybe i should share my one (1) welcome home oc. maybe.#actually fuck it yeah! i will share! cringe is dead babey!!! viva la zestforlife!
