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.

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.

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.
An analog relic of a bygone era spotted in Saint-Jean.
Jake Armitage isn't the only shadowrunner who feels a little rough going into Monday morning.
But then again, Jake got shot, versus some of you on the other hand were drinking shots over the weekend.

Do you really need all those apps installed on your smart phone? Do you know what they even do, besides take up space?
Founded by Petter Neby in 2008, "Punkt." is based in Switzerland and offers two different mobile models: MC02 (for intentional tech use) & MP02 (for minimalist design). These are excellent "Dumb Phone" alternatives to those who don't want an uninvited spy in our pocket.

Atari is (once again) letting you show off your fandom with their classic white LED logo.
You too can give your room a glow-up for $39.99 (USD).
However, it seems like Atari still doesn't ship everywhere internationally, which does indeed suck.
Starting all the way back on October 3rd, 2022, I used BloodFart@gmail.com as my log-in e-mail for free public WiFi access.
I don't insert a SIM card in my throw away phone & I connect to free WiFi for non-sensitive communications with a VPN. I understand that IMSI catchers exist too.
I chronicled this is previous (now deleted) posts. I've amalgamated all the times I've logged in in these posts, and some posts to follow.
Exhibit Q, R, S, and T:
I'm re-watching season four of The X-Files and taking a guilty pleasure in enjoying all the computer effects which appear on monitors and other screens.
More posts will eventually follow from season five.
