ウィンターミュート Expat living in Yokosuka, Japan. Just another ghost dreaming in meatspace. Happy to argue about cyberpunk, Sci-Fi, & anything おたく.
Today was, from a purely tech perspective, a sad day. I officially retired and cannibalized the hard drives from my ancient Black MacBook [2008] and old Aluminum MacBook Pro [2012]. Between the two of them, these two laptops served me for over a decade, to include 4 continents, two deployments to wartime Iraq, and the sailing the high seas hunting pirates and other ne’er-do-wells. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; but recognize, in their day, they were bleeding edge tech!
OH NO! CARMEN SANDIEGO HAS STOLEN YOUR recipe for sugar cookies!
M17- the Omega or Swan Nebula is a star formation region about 5000ly from us. It glows red because the young stars excite the gas of the nebula.
Our games are a solid 25% off for the #itchsummersale for another 3 days. That's a lot of feature-length narrative experiences for like $8. More coming in the next few months!
Dungeons & Dragons is in the business of selling fantasy. Not the stuff with the magic and monsters -- the part where you *actually believe* that you and several other likeminded adults will be able to coordinate your schedules on a regular basis.
Anybody using #MidnightBSD as a desktop? If so, what's your verdict? (Sorry I've been off; computer problems and RL problems).
@Wintermute it's actually by titus lunter, but it's really cool! http://tituslunter.com
Haven't been around here much lately. IRL stuff. What is it John Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you are making other plans?" Anyway, check out this #Cyberpunk apartment by #OlivaBlack

Lucky for us, they lovingly recreated the whole darn thing in #RogueOne There is a lot of analog fetishism here that makes for great wallpaper, just saying.

I'm just an analog meat puppet in a digital world...
Gotta love the old school UI of #StarWars.

This is the Motorola MDT-9100. MDT stood for “Mobile Data Terminal” and were used for messaging dispatch. It was first introduced in the 1980s, for police units and remained in use well into the 2000s in some places
These days, of course, you’re more likely to see a laptop in a police cruiser

@XiongShui My apologies. It appears it was a typo on my part, or that of the Reddit contributor.
@Wintermute it's not correct: the Artist is Edward Hopper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hopper
すごい！I found this on the #BladeRunner2049 thread on Reddit. The artist for the BR tribute is unknown, but the original is #NightHawks by #EdwardCooper
#BladeRunner2049 Don't know what the haters are yapping about. That was pretty damn brilliant!
It's snowing here in Japan, so in celebration, I think I'll drink some Bourbon and watch #BladeRunner2049 for the first time...
