Now

Enjoying poking around on Cyberspace

I wasn’t around for the “heyday” of twitter, but that ship has sailed (or burned, mix your own metaphors). Seems like a bunch of nerds talking shit and being kind to each other

Reading

The Expanse (again)

I’ve read em all before, but now introducing my wife to the series. After the success of Project Hail Mary, felt like some more “hard” sci-fi. I had forgotten the vomit zombies, and how great Human Miller was (spoiler alert!)

Malazan: Book of the Fallen

Up to book 8. Takes a while to start to make any sense. Sometimes feels like a bit of slog, but some of the characters are 10/10. Get ya fantasy series in without ALL the tropes/standards.

Playing

A second run through Cyberpunk 2077 (first since Phantom Liberty). Swords for keeping things quiet, shotguns for when that goes awry vs the pistols/netrunner build on my first run.

Listening

Nine Inch Noize

Some thoughts:

• Some of these songs I have been listening to for 20+ years
• What if NIN, but from the future? (maybe instead of the 80’s)
• Literal goosebumps on more than one occasion
• Play it loud, and/or on good cans

Much like all the old punk bands singing about how work/highschool sucks and falling in love with teenage girls, there’s something a little creepy about a 60 year old man and his songs of being angry/horny. Tunes are good though. Some solid gold bops.
