There is a mysterious computer in one of the planetarium offices. When I found it, it was underneath a computer desk (normal). It did not have a plug (weird). It had a monitor on the computer desk and a keyboard (normal). They could not be plugged in to the computer (weird). It turns on, and I went looking for a monitor cable that would fit because the planetarium has a big bucket of monitor cables stored behind the dome. It seems to use some variation of a VGA cable; exact species could not be determined, and a cable that was the correct gender could not be found. (weird.) The computer seems to have been custom built and has a 2TB hard drive visible. I cannot discern its purpose.
My working theories are:
It ran the previous planetarium software prior to its current system.
It has something to do with the laser shows.
It's the backup drive for... something.
It has a label that says "PREFLIGHT"; this implies it was stolen off an aircraft somehow.
It's alien technology that, based on its bizarre assortment of ports, got punted out of an alternate reality.
Open to suggestions with how to deal with the thing.

I now have 2 computers based on 486 processor and what's interesting is that they are at opposite ends of the 486 line up. On the left, a 486DX25 from 1989. The second is a 486DX4-100 from 1994, a high end version before the complete switch to Pentium. They are perfect for enjoying DOS games from the first half of the 90s before the release of Windows 95

Kiss that lamb , Shamura 💥💥 !!!!!!!!!!! Allure is already so INCREDIBLY Smitten w them so its really funny that no matter what theyll blush like a red fire hydrant While Shamura has Little to No blush (so for any of these four they dont even blush to begin with-)
Tumblr media
I wanted to do more than four types of kisses but I wasn't rlly sure what else to do, Maybe palm kiss ? Hand kiss ? These served as warm ups regardless :>c
Though as fun as it is to make allure so flustered i do want to make room for shamura receiving their four share of kisses next :-Dc

PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC OR PAIRING.
Nathan and Ruben share a bond more powerful than most; mutual understanding through past experiences no one should ever have to go through, and through past actions so horrible they cannot be spoken of. Their grief and the blood on their hands binds them to the STEM technology they created, which has alienated them from the rest of the world— but they give each other the comfort they have both longed for so desperately for years, and that is all they need. They are each other's counterpart; you cannot imagine one without the other, like two sides of the same coin. Through their pain, their grief, their desire, and their regret, they have become one.

#tew#edit:nathan#nuclearocs#nuclearedits#so much shame in my body but still used my taglist but um let me know if you want to be excluded from oc/ship web weaves#just really wanted to share this one because i'm very proud of it and i want it on my blog. so. :]#recognition of the self through the other + wanting so desperately for the other to be deserving of a second chance#because if there is hope for them than there is hope for you etc etc and so on. that's the core of their dynamic i think#they understand each other on such a fundamental level that no one else comes close to because they are in so many ways the same#like how in in the first game leslie could sync up with ru/vik and all that? nathan would be a VERY good candidate for that as well#and it makes me insane!! and then the added layer of nathan being lead developer of mobius' new and improved STEM system#which makes him the same as ru/vik AGAIN but in like. the way that they're both men of [computer] science#and there's the fact they both have a dead sister. they both killed their parents. they were both mobius playthings for YEARS#and they've happily killed and tortured during all of it. they're angry they're out for revenge they're completely disconnected from#the normal human experience and they're working with what they have. and then after all of that is over then what is left?#their story focuses on them picking up all the pieces. everything that's still salvageable at least. and try to start over in a way#they cannot be forgiven for what they've done but they can move on from the past and do different in the future#there's still things left undone and left unsaid... in my canon at least. i know there's not gonna be any more games. it's fine#anyway they end up going to therapy and then they get better they're not a doomed couple they just like being dramatic#if you read all of this we can get married tomorrow if you'd like

It's funny how most every cyberpunk story or setting thought that due to technology taking over people's lives and humanity, computer literacy would become commonplace enough that the very term would disappear. Everyone in Night City or whatever is super into hacking or can at least give you the difference between hardware, software, antivirus, spam, etc. To not know the basic gists or cybernetics and cyber security is paramount to not knowing how to count or how to read.
In reality we're about to enter an age where knowing how to create a folder or a zip file is back to being ancient lore inscribed in tablets that only the 30 year old who works at your IT office knows how to do. Phones and the growing marketability of easy-access no-customization technology means kids just don't use computers anymore. And it's crazy how fast it happened.
When I was in kindergarten we still had "computer class" once a week, and it was objectively useless for everyone in my class. Regardless of our age or interests, all of us had casual PC time either at home or in cyber cafes, all of us knew how to do things the teachers many times struggled with. The moment typing machine class became keyboard typing class, computers were already dominating most of our time. I learned how to navigate a computer the same way I learned English; by myself, because it was vital for my own interests.
And between highly streamlined video games, single umbrella closed OSs and everything being a fucking app, a 14 year old nowadays is lucky if they know what quotation marks do to your Google results. It's genuinely harrowing how the future is tech-dependent, yet we're becoming completely tech-illiterate.
The worst part is that it's completely on purpose by the tech industry. Much like not being able to fix your own products when they break, if you simply don't know what your phone or your computer can *do*, it's much easier to sell you a borderline identical one a little earlier than you'd actually need it. Phone updates are already pretty much semantic; you can't even see the difference between new models and old ones anymore, unless the visual difference is the point. And it all just gets more and more expensive for less and less bang for your buck.
We never expected the cyberpunk dystopia to be dull, and to rely on making us dumb. Crazy how well it worked.

UH OH!
Tumblr media
6 competitors, 3 winners, 5 competitors, the Wheel of Doom angers at these circumstances. Oh, screw the fancy talk, we gotta hurry this shit up before the structural integrity of this place burns to the ground! Tomorrow at Noon CST will be our next round, but instead of our normal 1v1 format, there will be 2 3-for-all matches. Be there or be square, because this is gonna be our most intense redemption match yet!
