I got sick of Windows, Facebook & Twitter, so I'm giving myself the gift of not using that bullshit anymore. Getting off the proprietary software train.

New Linux Mint user, vibes to Synthwave, poutine nut, and vinyl enthusiast. I love cassette futurism & cyberpunk aesthetics.

Do I know everything about 80's retro cult classics? Nope, but I can learn.

I won't post / boost more than once per day, so I won't spam your timeline.

#BladeRunner

Some in-universe lore about "Blade Runner" is that the movie "Soldier" has references to both Tannhauser Gate and the Shoulder of Orion, along with a broken down Spinner on "Arcadia 234" where Todd has been marooned.

A ship which resembles the Sulaco can been seen in "Blade Runner 2049" also.

On this day 43 years ago in 1982, "Blade Runner" premiered.

With the neon lights, constant rain, and futuristic cityscapes forever draped in darkness, no other film has the style or cassette futurism ambiance of Blade Runner.

BM1 recently filmed and wrote a fantastic piece on the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

As BM1 states, the tower has "...legions of super-fans" and I count myself among them.

I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

Enjoy.

The Rise and Fall of Tokyo’s Most Futuristic Building

The Nakagin capsule tower was one of Tokyo's most futuristic buildings. After its demolition, we ask what is its legacy?

The Iomega Zip Drive was a revolutionary storage device introduced in 1994, offering a whopping 100MB of portable storage in an era dominated by floppy disks. Though it faced stiff competition from CD-RWs and USB flash drives, the Zip Drive holds a special place in tech history for its innovation and impact on data storage solutions in the late '90s and early 2000s.

Whenever I see "Sneakers" I can't help but remember the anagram "COOTYS RAT SEMEN" which got a genuine laugh from me the first time I saw the film.
