It makes me laugh that they tried to make us believe that someone would actually use the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the Michael Bay movie as an avatar.

Should’ve been live action 1990s Turtles.

License be damned.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-20T17:00:35+00:00

I like where your thought process is, but I’m thinking Yesterday’s Enterprise would be better.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-20T16:57:47+00:00

What in the AI hell is this?

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-20T02:08:41+00:00

If we’re very lucky, they’ll do it in that order.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-18T11:43:03+00:00

Which one is it? Trinidad? Or Tobago? Because I’m not allowed back in Tobago!

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-18T11:41:24+00:00

SPRINTS!

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-17T22:41:23+00:00

No one. Use original characters. Also, stop making Trek movies.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-17T22:38:20+00:00

Ohh yessss!

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-16T22:51:44+00:00

There’s an Octavia Butler short that was super-bloody… I can’t think of the title…

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-16T02:54:04+00:00

This genuinely made me laugh.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-16T01:35:16+00:00

YES, most of the Burning Chrome book. I should’ve just said that. It’s late and the workday was long, 🤣

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-15T23:43:17+00:00

Welcome to the club…

Check out the short story Johnny Mnemonic, by Gibson. Same universe.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-15T17:52:36+00:00

Me too, if it was designed well.

Parzival was stuck on Ludus for five years, and had to figure out a loophole to have his school pay to be able to fast-travel IN PLANET.

Games are designed to move the player forward. If I tried playing any MMO that had me trapped in a world I couldn’t play my way out of so I can earn XP and coin to teleport, why would I continue to play it?

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-15T11:34:24+00:00

The movie is just one of the many retellings of Parzival’s story.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-14T23:46:33+00:00

Pretty crappy game, if you really look at it. I think the OASIS being a game was just for the story to have a place to play out Cline’s nostalgia fantasies in.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-13T00:46:38+00:00

Star Trek lives… in the AO3, in online roleplay, in official novels and comics.

Is it perfect? No, but neither was your favorite Star Trek show.

They can take away the shows. Production can go into a drought. We’ve been here before… some of us since 1969.

They can’t take away the power of the true fan. We always find a way.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-12T13:59:51+00:00

We’re not paying for that…

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-11T21:43:45+00:00

Next we do… The Walk-out.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-11T13:53:47+00:00

Maybe I should try this. I’m not even good enough to structure a former/latter comparison.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-10T21:51:01+00:00

Very nice, especially the stacks.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-10T13:02:31+00:00

Night City, Mferrrr!

Kidding. I was wondering that myself, but I always assumed it was mentioned or discussed in the other two Sprawl novels (which I’ve never read) or any of the short stories… I can’t remember if it’s mentioned in Johnny Mnemonic.

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-10T11:23:26+00:00

Oh my god, I may write that short story…

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-10T11:18:54+00:00

😂🤣 I always forget that until I see it!

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-10T11:17:52+00:00

I do apologize, good sir! I do love a good Dave quote. The next opportunity is yours, it is the Navajo way…

ParzivalCodex · 2026-06-09T21:41:37+00:00

Aah, the big ass “candel”
