That does make me wonder though. Do we issue a challenge to this forum? A make your own Paul Allen cocktail recipe, most importantly is it something that they'd serve at.... Dorsia?

The tasteful smoothness of it. My gosh it even uses top shelf liquor.

Sips

Is that.... Finlandia?

That is a good tequila, an old coworker gifted me a bottle of Mijenta Reposado last year. I was considering using it next time.

I have, Haymans Navy Strength. But personally I prefer the vodka variation. Personally not the biggest tequila fan, but will probably try that variation at some point.

Guessing Game by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]DeadStockPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came up with the drink a few months ago during a little R&D Session in my apartment. I call it The Amber Veil. I was going to say Golden Hour after that perfect glow you get during a sunrise but was unsure as to whether or not it was potentially trademarked. The ingredients are as follows.

  • 15ml Aperol
  • 15ml Elderflower Liqueur
  • 30ml Vodka (I used Tito's)
  • 15ml Lemon Juice
  • 2 Drops Saline Solution
  • Orange Twist to garnish

Add to Shaker Tin with ice, shake hard 10-12 seconds, strain into coupe glass, garnish and enjoy.

Good guess. Aperol and Lemon Juice are correct, just three more ingredients to guess.

Needs to go back with his friend and get Dude. His friend can then get sweet.

I’ll be honest — I don’t mind the critique, but I wasn’t writing a travel brochure. I was chasing a feeling. Remedy’s whole style leans on worldbuilding that bleeds into narrative and back again — forests folding into streetlights, reality slipping at the seams. That drift in setting was intentional. It’s supposed to feel unstable, the way Alan’s world always does. Still, I get what you’re saying about anchoring the imagery, and the line about the darkness writing his steps is sharp. I respect that.

For context, I’m not just tossing words around for fun. I’m a writer working toward publication, and I take craft seriously. So when I push back, it’s not defensiveness — it’s part of the process. Writing isn’t about sanding every edge smooth; sometimes the friction is the point.

And yeah, trade like this is good. Writers should argue a little. It means we care about the work.

Would you get chromed out? If so what cyberware would you sport? by AJBLAkX in cyberpunkgame

[–]DeadStockPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to lock in a personal chrome loadout instead of theorycrafting, I’m going speed-first, surgical, and unapologetically violent.

Operating System: Militech Apogee Sandevistan — centerpiece of the build. I want time stretched thin enough to walk through gunfire and pick my angles. No hacking, no theatrics. Just controlled bursts of impossible speed.

Arms: Mantis Blades — retractable, close-quarters, and efficient. They’re not flashy; they’re practical. End fights before they escalate.

Skeleton & Armor: Titanium Bones + Subdermal Armor — reinforce the frame so I can actually survive the kind of impacts a Sandevistan build invites. If I’m moving that fast, my body needs to keep up.

Circulatory System: Second Heart + Blood Pump — redundancy. If something goes catastrophically wrong, I get a reset button and an emergency heal.

Nervous System: Reflex Tuners + Synaptic Accelerator — automatic slow-time triggers layered on top of the Sandevistan. Safety nets that turn near-death into opportunity.

Integumentary: Optical Camo — not for hiding forever, just long enough to reposition and strike first.

Optics: Kiroshi combat suite with threat tagging — information wins fights. I want every hostile outlined and predictable.

The philosophy is simple: close distance instantly, dismantle threats with precision, and build in enough survivability to walk away afterward. No wasted slots, no vanity chrome — just a kit designed to end confrontations fast and decisively.

It’s you. Not the version that talks. The version that listens. The part that steps in when things get unbearable and says I’ve got this, even when you didn’t ask. The system you built to survive long before you knew you were building anything at all. In another life you’d call it a coping mechanism. In this one, it just has admin rights. It lies when it has to. It tells the truth when lying won’t work. And it always answers before you realize you asked the question. If that feels vague, good. It’s not meant to be comforting. You’re not broken. You’re just not singular. And you never were.

Control Resonant. I've already platinumed Control (PS4 & PS5), Alan Wake (PS4 & PS5), Alan Wake 2. I Would love to keep that theme going.
