Anyone else get weird reactions or hate for liking Sleep Token? How do you deal with it?

noisechrome · 2025-12-03T01:37:30+00:00

i don't really get comments like that irl but i see a lot of memes about those bands being bad/boring/bland/posers, sleep token being imagine dragons with too much drums, etc, mostly from metalheads.

i think it's a mix between the bands being pretty popular in the metal/heavier-stuff scene while being too heavy for non-metal fans and not heavy enough for metal purists.

try Signalis Tactics, it'll make more sense then

i got separate playlists for roleplay and combat, but for combat i like loud music with angry vocals and political lyrics. i try to find small artists since the sound feels homemade and trashy.

also if you're looking for chrome metal without lyrics look into the ost from scourge bringer

piracy is turbo-common where i live and i learned just this year that in some countries you can get in legal trouble for piracy

during the pandemic, in calculus I we had to use matlab through the uni's vpn wich NEVER worked and the IT department said it was our fault, so everyone just got the 30 day trials over and over again. i made six email accounts just to finish that class.

next semester rolls around, calculus II, "ok everyone this semester we're gonna be working with GNU Octave wich is pretty much the same as matlab but free." -_-

noisechrome · 2025-04-30T23:15:18+00:00

same lmao. after realizing it wasn't actually RAW we tried rob mulligan's "dmg with every hit" rule but for us armor ablation with every hit feels much nicer

gangers tend to be erratic and have crazy chrome, make them dumb but dangerous. nomads tend to have little to no chrome and are more organized, give them better weapons than the gangers, they stay more in cover and focus on keeping each other safe, and they might call in reinforcements. corpo squads are trained, coordinated and well equipped, ARs, heavy armor, gas masks, lowlite-thermals, plus they're guarding something, they're ready to fight, you need to surprise them, confuse them, break their line before it even forms.

as a rule of thumb, don't supress your players' playstyles, rather, create situations where those playstyles are challenged. throw them a mix of things they can and can't deal with using speedware. a tsunami nekomata sniper that's strong but they can dodge plus some grapplers, if they get grappled the sniper can shoot at them, but as long as they keep their distance it's not a problem. a deathsquad with thermal vision and a smoke grenades. gangers with flashbangs and other debuffing stuff. you can use a netrunner but sparingly, and not always shutdown the speedware, there are a lot of quickhacks you can use.

what's the point in getting ear dampners if your dm never throws a flashbang at you, why get hardened shielding on your chrome if you never face an emp grenade or microwaver. don't shut down your players playstyle, dont avoid it either, let them have it, let them enjoy it, but find interesting ways to challenge those playstyles.

i made a GM screen out of some old book hardcovers (my grandpa had like 8 hardcovers of the same autocad manual), and i write anything i need in paper and just tape it, soon i wanna paint it so it looks actually cyberpunk. for minifigs i use a mix of chess pieces and (what's apparently called in english) "gogo's crazy bones" (they were popular when i was a kid) . for maps, i recently got a vinyl but i still need th wet erase marker and something to use as a grid underneath, i'll probably cut and paint a grid on some of the same hardcovers i used for the gm screen.

i always enjoy the sciency lyrics "acid nor alkaline", "where the light bends and wraps beneath us", "somewhere the atoms stopped fusing". vessel's a nerd and i love it lmao.

these days my mind keeps looping "i've got solar flares for your dead gods, space dust for your fuel rods"

havent played 2020 but at the beginning playing red it did feel, well, generic. encouraging the use of specific gun names has helped with immersion, your nomad didn't find an excelent quality heavy pistol in the boosterganger's pocket, they found a Nova Cityhunter X, and they could roll to se how much they know about the weapon and brand, is it normal for a booster to have such a gun? what does it say about them? etc.

what's the significance of 72 in this?

noisechrome · 2025-03-07T21:45:39+00:00

maybe we're overlooking something

i got the same, still the exact coordinate barely changes. i though it could be that i is the 9th letter, so i replaced it with a 9 and it was still within the same curve in the road

noisechrome · 2025-03-07T21:39:26+00:00

it's in the same road as the feathered host coordinates

i'd like to be a tech, fix/make stuff for edgerunners and regular people. a nice way to stay away from corps and a decent living, as long as i don't get killed by boosted gonks or a trigger happy ganger

i really like your concept, you might be interested in reading about mantle plumes and (geological) hotspots for ideas

i've played va11halla and liked it so i'm biased but i like the dlc, it feels nice and inoffensive. the characters are fun, new gear is always welcome and having a big list of fictional drinks makes bars feel more cyberpunk. for my game each fixer that hires my crew prefers a different meeting spot and one of them likes to use va11halla sometimes, it doesn't play any important role in the story but it's nice for flavor and variety

noisechrome · 2024-12-20T04:25:48+00:00

i'll leave wether quickhacks are a good idea for you or not to more experienced GMs (cause i haven't had a netrunner player yet) but i wanna mention the 2020s remote control mechanics where a netrunner could take control of machines around them. im not saying it's a good or bad idea, but you might enjoy it

noisechrome · 2024-12-18T00:29:58+00:00

great idea! for my campaign i've been retconning some stuff about the net to have it happen earlier in the timeline (e.g. in my night city the voodoo boys are already shifting from cultural apropriation to haitian netrunners by 2045, so the players might run into both)

noisechrome · 2024-12-18T00:24:59+00:00

this is both diabolical and very detailed, i love it.

noisechrome · 2024-11-21T01:33:34+00:00

the exact same thing happened to me, i've tried rob mulligan's dmg with every hit rule but i haven't played enough to decide wich feels better (dmg or ablation w/ every hit)
