Speaking of old books this one cracks me up and really makes me question reality.

I like this optimistic take on dystopia. This is like best case scenario IMO

will watch that, can always use another Ready Player One movie.

i'm pro a real dystopia like in Neuromancer though for selfish reasons like i think i can thrive in a system that fucked up while most of my competition above and below me on the bell curve will have their brains melt

I really liked the westworld HBO series, the dystopia they lived in was pretty blade runner neuromancer but with a bit of a more modern solar punk asthetic.

Season 3 was one of my favorite seasons of TV, it's great on its own if you know the pretex.

Season 2 and 4 are slow and boring, but 1 and 3 are super good. 3 is more of a weird blade runner mini series.

Watch 3 as if it was a 1 season sci fi mini series. Skip 2. Don't plan on 4.

roll another gnome necro, pretend to be friends with people, steal from the guildbank, reroll iksar necro, get bored around level 40 as i branch out and use said guild funds to make 8 or 9 classes, start making accounts for various things for all the names to keep my identity a secret, steal from a few different guilds under the guise of friendship, get bored with another account filled with a buncha level 40/50 alts, stop playing for years and only come to the forums to vent and try and remember what human interaction is like

same shit for the past 15 years
