Okay no progress on Star Ryde today/yesterday instead I just hammered 818 words in 30 Minutes into my phone to build upon my Super Mario X Cyberpunk idea...

After how many 'refurbished to be different franchises' stops a fanfiction to be a fanfiction?
I think at this point I'm at 7...

Asking for a friend. 😅

I slapped so many Easter eggs so hard into each other that the result is a bot weird even for me and not very subtle atm. Probably it is better, this way, if it gets an unrecognizable omelette, because I don't want to shy away from topics like violence, sex, capitalism, corruption, relationships, addiction etc...

Well at least I'm writing something...

The pacing is, as I remembered not really good, but from my first (re)impression way better than the DVD release, despite both being called Polymatrix, which is the name for the movie cut. Also I was thinking about buying the original Episodes that where released prior to the Polymatrix cut but a) finding a PAL tape seems almost impossible, b) I don't want to import NTSC tapes because, c) neither my VHS nor my TV are NTSC capable d) for the price of a kidney.

Question: from which point are we talking archeology in case of 'modern' technology? I mean 30 years is way to short for an archeological found but 30 years for tech? I bet not a single phone today will make it that far. I fear the day my DVDs & CDs will die...

*This only counts for the first add break the second was extremely late as they aired and contained telefon sex adds ... That was ... Weird ... To put it nicely.

I recently reconnected my CRT-TV from the late 1990 to early 2000 to my as(s) old Video Home System (VHS) Recorder & tested if it worked. Good news it still works, bad news the VHS Recorder has some minor issues that over time might accumulate. I watched the recording of Armitage 3 I have from back in the day, as it was first shown on VOX (a German TV Broadcast station). As I remembered the Voice cast was different & the localized dubbing was also different.

A lot more swearing and not as fork sexist as the newer version. On the old 4:9 CRT the recording looked pretty decent if we take some minor issues with tape/recorder aging into account. Of course not as good as todays standard but not really bad.

I'm thinking about watching the two versions parallel next week or so and maybe making some comparison.

I also had some ass old adds recorded. Not as bad as todays adds ...*

Okay I found one reason the movie edit suffers from patching issues, the run time went from episode 1 75 Minutes and episode 2 60 minutes to the Polymatrix edit of 102 minutes plus in this they added additional scenes...

Boah ... Bought a DVD German localisation and voice over on eBay.

Armitage 3
The Polymatrix cut was first shown on German TV, it already suffered from pacing issues in comparison to its original episodes, but had a outstanding Voice cast that set the tone on edge, with very unique cast.
The DVD I bought has the second dubbing... It is so flat and on the nose and just blatantly bad in my opinion. Name changes and typically movie and series voices actors.

Where Rene Don Cloud was a Joker like Villain and Naomi an edgy but likable character the new dialogue changes make them so soft without edges and even more sexist in my opinion (the original dubbing is from 1995 the second from 2002) making an iconic movie a forgettable experience...

Seems like I really need to invest 400€ in the original Series DVD release or reconnect my VHS Tape recorder in the hope it still works...

I just watched this video and I can't deny that it has a strange inspirational effect.
I don't want to judge the person running that ... RBNB. Life is complicated and this place is full of history.
But imagine a story set in such a place. It would be such an amazing location for a post apocalyptic setting in a town, or a cyberpunk underdog setting. It reminds me to Kowloon the walled city.
And for the price if you desperately want to make it to Japan and live there...

and if you haven't heard about Kowloon the walled city this was also a real city (a part of Hong Kong)

Inside Tokyo's WORST TINY APARTMENT

YouTube
A classic from my first posts on Mastodon. One of my Characters, the second V. to be precise (A.K A. Red Vengeance).
I aimed to recreate a disco info flyer flair with this picture. You know this little flyers that you get in clubs with a certain group in mind like metal heads or goths. The shot is done via in-game Photo Mode and in the elevator of the Riot which is a club you can visit in Night City.
Red Vengeance has the street kid background and I thought it would fit well for her to be involved in the club scene in her hometown more than just doing jobs inside them.
The Riot is one of her favorites.

Woran schreibst du gerade?

Momentan ist es ausnahmsweise nicht meine SciFi story (oder nicht direkt) Star Ryde weil es mir einfach nicht aus dem Handgelenk fließt.

Stadtdessen habe ich, interessanterweise in Englisch, eine Kurzgeschichte mit 1577 Worten als Quickdraft zustande gebracht, welche eigentlich auf dem Selbsterstellten Rollenspiel-Regelwerk eines ehemaligen guten Freundes basiert, zu der Online Superhelden Welt von Worm, aber genauso gut in Cyberpunk-, Shadowrun-, StarRyde- oder besser in mein nicht wirklich ernstgemeintes Star Ryde Self Insert Romance Alternative Universe passen würde.

So in a weird twist of events tonight after celebrating, I decided to get some words out, instead of writing something for StarRyde, I may have created a bit of my self insert Backstory for the SRSIRAU. It started as a Story about a Worm Homebrew RPG Character of me & a friend in which we basically played ourselves as heroes in an unforgiving universe in which no magic resets exist. I will have to apologize in person to her for brutalizing her in-story avatar but it's not unlike anything she did in game anyways. Maybe a bit to glorified. Not sure if I put it up anywhere. I thought about getting back to AO3 & sharing some stuff there but not sure.

The first draft is 1577 words & the 1. thing I "finished" on AdrOpen Office. That program isn't very user friendly. Like Gimp it seems to be a full shell running on Android instead of an fitted app making the controls arkwardly complicated.
