since solderpunk welcoming me back to the #zaibatsu coincided with my dipping back into #nomanssky - I decided to start an in-character life/build log for Scent-Kin Cat of Calypso in #gemini space, it's only one entry so far but I'll add to it as I go! you can read it here;

#Cyberpunk used to be fun back in the day when it was just a #fantasy and #fiction. Now it gives me the #creeps when I read what we live.

There still may be some hope, if we start dismantling #BigTech (well, Big anything) as @pluralistic suggests, and explains how they got so damn big. Quite interesting that the #future is built on the 19th century monopolistic capitalism, isn’t it?

#Cyberpunk / #SciFi stories where giant corps are more powerful than nation states have been my fav since I first read #CountZero (my first cyberpunk book ever). I never imagined this could ever come true in my lifetime but I'm not so sure anymore.

There's a fun 1980s style cyberpunk #RPG called Zaibatsu, that uses the Cepheus Engine system.

I've made a fillable character sheet for it.

I updated my #zaibatsu #circumlunar #gopher #phlog with a new post.
The new post is painful, so reading is not for the trollish, very sensitive, or the anxious. It's for those who can spare job-searching organization and self-healing tips and resources.

Good article 13 summery:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/09/european-parliament-approves-copyright-bill-slammed-by-digital-rights-groups/

When will we start calling major corporations zaibatsus? All this has no positive impact on individuals, so this is companies battling thru legislation.

What’s in the sweeping copyright bill just passed by the European Parliament

Legislation now goes to a three-way negotiation within the EU.
