I'm goin' back in for some VirtuaVerse. When last we'd left off, Nathan had joined a hacker gang that seems to mostly leave graffiti in AVR and talk to each other by encrypted means, and gotten a lead on where his girlfriend Jay has gotten to.

Also, he might have brought the heat down on her in the process of blackmailing the guy who was working at the Pill Street pharma in order to get him to sell one of the under-the-table Tracer Activators to swap for an AR cartridge.

Can you take a piss in the bathroom in VirtuaVerse?

✅ yes, you can

Sidebar: it does rather annoy me when people say "drone" and mean "quadcopter" or any other aerial vehicle that is in fact not autonomous

I know I've lost this battle many years ago, though.

this game loves the "yes, but actually no" trick. overclocking harder does work, but then you need to replenish the quadcopter's liquid coolant

you know, that thing that all quadcopters have

anyway, it's time to ask the BDSM couple about which sex holograms are available from the boutique AVR artist they told me about

this is a good game

oh hrm, I assumed I'd have new dialogue with them, but I don't!

Nathan needs to make up his mind about what kind of sex hologram he wants. There is presumably a puzzle we would be trying to solve with this, but maybe I don't have what I need to solve it yet. Time to pull on another thread elsewhere

I did a little bit of Point-and-Click Adventure Game homework and now I'm getting a lore dump via C64-style demo.

'Hell yea' moment.
