We're already sharing what we're listening to. So, I figured why not share what television shows or even movies you guys are watching. Would be great to share, and I am always looking for something new to watch. 

Currently watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix. 

what web comics have you been reading/following lately?

tell us about some of your favorites!

here are 3 of my favorites

Edison Rex
basically if lex luthor killed superman and decided to become a hero rather than a villan.

Manly guys doing manly things.
basically, it's a bunch of comics about fictional manly men doing stuff that's sorta out of character/out of their normal realm of things, sorta like how actors chill on their days off.

Guilded age
in a world where companies are corrupt the biggest MMORPG decides to try out a magic based VR and ends up getting 5 people trapped in a fantasy world which is sort of a parallel pocket universe?  you'd have to read it to understand it better.

there's more but I wanted to get the ball rolling.

I'd like to try hosting another writing contest again at some point, so if you are interested in participating let me know by commenting to this post, if there's enough interest then I'll see about setting one up.

have a nice day!

do you use VR in your daily life or have easy access to it?

it's a valid question now because even the common man has access to basic VR in the form of the samsung gear VR.

so do you have VR? and if so what do you use it for?

do you use a smartwatch?

I personally use a pebble time, it's programmable, hackable, and fun to mess with, plus no DRM lol



so if you use a smart watch, what brand/setup do you use?

so I've decided to port this over from simmania for anyone interested, the following links are comprehensive in explaining and expositioning cyberpunk as a whole.
it's an entertainment medium, an intellectual curiosity, and for some a lifestyle.

Examples of cyberpunk works
The Cyberpunk Database
 
now that that's all out of the way, let's begin... let's talk about cyberpunk media you are interested in, how does it affect your view of the world, or maybe just how close the cyberpunk and real worlds are?

in other words, what is cyberpunk to you?

Go through spurts playing this game, but I love it! 

My current run-through with Japan, I was able to conquer China about 6 months before what could have been Pearl Harbor. Knowing the course of history, and wanting to play with it a little, I decided to accept the United States embargo of oil and look elsewhere. I invaded the Soviet Union. In another wrench thrown in, France turned communist right before Germany decided to invade, and allied with the Soviet Union. All sides were thrown in quickly when Germany invaded the Benelux regions and France. The Allies and Comintern made quick work of the Soviets. So, I've been fighting them all alone after they've been strengthened by consuming much of Eastern Europe. So far I have been able to avoid intervention from the rest of the world. 

As of 2 December, 1943:

I've been working on a concept called a cyberdeck for a while now, it's sort of like a laptop only instead of a screen you have a video display that you wear and it's sorta retro-futuristic, and Cyberpunk.



as of now I have all the parts working, I'm currently looking into a case and maybe a better CPU but here's the current list of parts as of now.

Logitech Solar charged Bluetooth keyboard.

raspberry pi Zero modified with composite out.

MyVu Crystal 701 Video display glasses with composite adaptor cable.

currently it outputs a clear and easy to read terminal at 640X480 resolution, I've used it, and I'm probably going to stick with the Command line for now.

OS: Pixel OS/Raspbian for raspberry pi zero.

once I get the case I have planned for it I may upgrade to a Pi 3 but that's down the road.

already took it to work with me and was able to attach sensors and such to it and receive data on the HMD (Head Mounted Display).

let me know what you think and any ideas anyone has as to where I can go from here.

Pictures of the working unit forthcoming later today when I get off work.

i have started drinking fruit/ veggie smoothies now..
I have enjoyed them to a surprisingly degree so far

Windows is nothing but a big frustration for me. My PC has Windows 10 on it, and is in desperate need of a reinstall. Buggy, slow, and a total mess to say the least. But perhaps the most frustrating aspect for me is that, being that I do not use the computer often, maybe once a month or so when I need to pay bills, every time I need to start it up I have to wait upwards of an hour oftentimes just to see automatic updates finish up before I can even use my PC. 

That was the last straw. I'm going back to college to finish my degree shortly and I need something way better. 

Bought a 2012 Macbook pro 13 inch, put the latest MacOS on there, and I'm up to speed and rolling. Absolutely love it. It actually works. The display resolution could be better, 1280x800 will take some getting used to, but that's absolutely 100% my only complaint. All I have to say is that I hope Mac stays around. I think I'm more or less an Apple convert for life now.
