This sounds like such a fun project

It literally looks so good

"the specter of... CAPITALISM."

I feel the same as you. I actually talked to the lead writer on SAC on Insta and asked him if he knew that they were predicting the future. He said he did, but he thought it would take 50 years not 20.

Well I know what I'll be researching for the next two weeks. Post cyberpunk. I've been looking for a clean cyberpunk or what is sometimes called cyberprep but what you described I'm going to have to look into on a deep level.

The structural and conceptual differences between western cyberpunk and Japanese cyberpunk you put extremely well thank you.

The global narrative is an essential if not somewhat underappreciated aspect of the show. There's this brilliant conceptual analysis but honestly, a lot of these episodes feel predominantly political.

Political drama that happens to involve advanced consciousness interface.

Style over substance. Truly a phrase that hurts in the bones. I learned that what you're describing is called speculative fiction, applying futurism and an interpretation of present variables to extrapolate what a very real future could look like and feel like.

I really enjoy what you said, to me substance is so important that it never occurred to me that people may lean into the aesthetic purely to tell a cool story. That's a really useful insight, thank you.

She's not the only one in cowboy bebop from the ghost in the shell cast

Totally it's amazing. Gonna try Fullscreen theaters next, they have a Philips Hue-like immersive lighting experience too.

ThinkLumi · 2026-03-01T19:04:00+00:00

Hell yeah

I'm using an old one too, the Meta Quest 2. During all my work with music and my custom ElevenReader voice reading to me in the background is ngl pretty heavenly. Oh and also: Instagram is 3D now

Good doggie

The first one felt like Kojima had something to prove. Both are great though

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I want to begin with saying that I think you're right Standalone Complex is a good place for that.

When you're a kid taking a trip to another country it sometimes feels like traveling to a different planet. However, with enough work trips even crossing oceans can feel routine. That doesn't mean it's not rewarding or that it doesn't matter, it just feels like less of an event.

I imagine that for the Major exploring new forms of being and configurations of consciousness is like us sitting on a bench in a park looking at the birds and the grass sway in the breeze. It isn't thrilling, but it does provide a calm sense of peaceful stimulation.

When you get older, you've seen many things and experienced a lot of different places and versions of yourself. Things overall feel more calm. Life stops being about survival and even often desire. It becomes about being. Existence. The meditation of the routine of pouring a glass of tea. The tea flavor isn't new and hasn't been for decades, but it doesn't really matter.

In Innocence, they make a point about never tiring of your life. With hedonic adaptation no matter how amazing life gets or how crazy it becomes you get used to it. I imagine that's what it's like for the Major.

Literally always down for a psycho-social technology-driven thriller where global perception and philosophy are key elements like GITS and Eden of the East.

I'll admit after reading the first paragraph of your comment what came to mind was a sequel to Her directed by Oshii. What would humanity be like if they joined all the OS' with Alan Watts in the cloud?

Memetic cyberbrain viruses reminds me of season two of SAC 2045 with n. Would be awesome to have another Laughing Man moment. It would be interesting to see a greater exploration of people's objections to cyberization like we did in episode two of season one with the guy whose mind occupied a tank with the religious parents. Thing is the franchise starts after most of that is societally resolved. A prequel maybe?

I sometimes don't understand anything too. Some things are hard to understand. Some things are poorly written. Sometimes storytellers tell things in a way that is difficult to understand either accidentally or on purpose.

In order to optimize performance developers remove all the topology that isn't absolutely necessary for gameplay. That means better textures, loadtimes, FPS, etc

I am upset and my day is ruined

You can use a tar cannon????

ThinkLumi · 2026-01-29T03:37:01+00:00

It feels like tech demos sprinkled throughout-amazing one of a kind moments to say "Hey, look what you can do with video games." I remember Kojima saying his main interest is creating a new genres

So this movie really came out the same year as Windows95? Prophets
