This 1000%. Our podcast will always be political because Cyberpunk is inherently political. IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME. If you don't like it start your own Cybercentrist podcast.

This lost me followers on Twitter, so let’s get it out of the way now:

Shadowrun is political. Because cyberpunk is political. Because Punk is political. Whether or not you want it to be is irrelevant.

Next week we were scheduled to have @spellbookgaming.bsky.social on our show to promote this project, but unfortunately had to cancel. Be sure to check this out and consider backing because the world can always use more cyberpunk.

As always, it was as much fun to record with these guys as it is to listen to them. And as an added bonus, the latter part of this week's book is decidedly better!

Sleep Dealer was a surprise with how thoughtful and well-made it is for having such an obviously tiny budget. We hope everyone gives this movie a chance, and also gives this podcast episode a chance.

This week we spend way more time talking about The Net than it probably deserves, but we can't help it. The movie is not good, but it's also hard to hate if you lived through time it was released.

IT'S HERE 🔥🔥🔥

SO excited to announce that Act II Part 3 is now available to order on Cave & Canary Goods! ... AND that Part 4 is currently headed to the printer 💥

[ #TheDearHunter ]
Comic cover for The Dear Hunter's Act II, Part 2: The Meaning of Ms. Leading. A portly man is wearing a wide brimmed hat, golden cross ring, and the upper half of a pig’s face for a mask. He grins wickedly at the viewer, eye glowing red from between his fingers. Comic spread featuring the same portly man but in Priest's robes, staring down a young woman who is dressed as a nun-adjacent prostitute and crying. A confessional stands between them, built into a large tree, their silhouettes reflected in the glass windows. PAGE ONE TEXT: Now child, while I do appreciate your adherence to traditions I can not say I much enjoy your disrespect of them. I'm sorry, father. All is forgiven... now... what is this sin, child? I don't want to be scheduled off stage anymore, father. And why, might I ask, would an earner of your distinction ever want to confine that charisma to the stage? You told us we-- Is this about that... boy? ... Mea culpa, child... mea culpa. Matters of the heart are sacred, for the heart is the divining rod with which we guide ourselves to love, and eventually, that of His eternal love. PAGE TWO TEXT: So... you'll take me off the schedule? Oh child... no. No. If you wish to keep this holy roof above your head, you will continue to ear... we will just be more... discreet. Discreet... You'll continue dancing, every night... but when the connoisseurs of our congregation come rapping at our door, demanding a more... distinctive experience, we will gladly deliver you to them. But... Less work, more pay... or the gutter. ... And what do I tell him? Whatever you want.

This episode has everything: pink Easter bunny suits, egg drop soup, airbrushed slogan tshirts, plus a giant orgy of cannibalism and violence. Uh, spoilers.

Our new episode is up. Little different this week as the movie we intended to cover was less available than we had hoped. Instead it's an extended intro and @countxer0.bsky.social angrily reviews the new Mark Wahlberg film Play Dirty.

Team Meatbag just bagged themselves a "dragon" so we thought why not give them a lil rest for a few weeks while we check in with Space Patrol? PS: Brutus (aka Colin) refused to speak into his coms "like a peasant" for a lil while there so his voice might sound *slightly* different.

We survived 100 Episodes, so we deserve a little treat. That little treat is the 2 3/4 hour slow, gloomy, and gorgeous Blade Runner 2049. And who else could help us celebrate 100 but a guy who has been there since nearly the beginning, @seanfaustmusic.bsky.social

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
localnotail.bsky.social Jane @localnotail.bsky.social · Sep 20
Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"
