My trip to Titan Moon today does sort of leave me wondering, tho. When I asked what other titles they had in the same genre of CLEAR, they didn't really have any in stock and one of the folks wasn't even really familiar with the cyberpunk genre. The silver lining was that the other person behind the counter had some inkling of some of the more well-known titles.

That kinda made me sad, especially in these, the "Silicon Hills", that the proprietors didn't seem to know much beyond the Cyberpunk 2077 titles when talking about the cyberpunk genre in general. It also made me sad that they don't keep any of those titles in stock, which means people aren't just going to randomly stumble across them. I'm not sure if that's because the owners just don't know much about the genre or because they don't sell.

In any case, this sounds like an educational opportunity for Yours Truly to maybe see if I can't get more of a cyberpunk presence into Titan Moon! Maybe the next time I lose my job, I'll see if Titan has any openings and see what I can do, because I think that might be a pretty fun gig as an #AgingCyberpunk.

Learning (and getting used to) new paradigms is hard, especially the older one gets.

But this #AgingCyberpunk is doing it, come hell or high water! I may grumble and grouse about it, but I'm gonna do it nonetheless, you mark my words.

I'm pot committed now. :bec_grin:

@socketwench @Wrewdison @thegibson I think most of us #AgingCyberpunk types have moved on to bourbon by now...

Givin' the heart a rest so's we can give our livers a workout instead!

A brief look at what defines #naturecore #forestcore and #solarpunk has me still wondering what label I should be using. I'm on #CortexImplant because I'm a geek who has worked in software development my whole corpo life, but I'm a child of the countryside at heart.

I grew up in rural England wandering day and night through ancient woodland and hillsides dotted with sheep. Now my house is a Florida bungalow surrounded by tropical flora and fauna and not the Cotswold cottage that my teenage self had planned. Global/local rural/virtual social/introvert the paradoxes run deep.

Ah well, guess I'm not going to find a neat label, and I'm not looking for a design aesthetic. I'm a messy human who loves trees and cats and birds and command line interfaces...

Oh, and rambling on for no good reason. I'm all about that!

Ordered a 3.5inch floppy drive this morning. Stupidly excited but I've only got a couple of disks that I want to archive. Might have to find some more.

#agingCyberpunk

This evening my soundtrack is provided by picking random albums tagged as Experimental from the #Pitchfork 8.0+ reviews archive.

#agingCyberpunk #LostInMusic

Listening to #OzricTentacles 2015 #album Technicians Of The Sacred as I wash up and make a shopping list. Chores go quicker with psychedelic prog rock!

#LostInMusic #agingCyberpunk

Finished the #Triathlon morning. Wife and I have got our medals, and finally had some lunch. Now to go collect the kiddo from the grandparents.

Totally #cyberpunk from 1988, the incredible dancing of Louise Lecavalier in:

#DavidBowie with La La La Human Steps, Look Back In Anger.

Some sequences were used in the Fame '90 video.

Listening to #JethroTull Songs From The Wood and feeling the strong (but hard to describe) pull of the greenwood wandering cyberpunk that runs through me.

It's a good evening to kick back with #Hackers and checking out the latest magic from @Sirs0ri and @revengeday on the :corteximplant: :uplink:

#agingCyberpunk

Out of coconut sim-milk so the usual afternoon cup of tea has been substituted for a mug of Yerba Mate.

Time to do all the things!

At dinner last night my 4 year old daughter suddenly turned to me and said "Dad, you're an ideas guy." Then she went straight back to eating her dinner.

I'm still processing this!

Hey chooms,
Given the extreme weather and dystopian politics every punk should be...

Just don't be a Techbro-prepper-fash about it!

#solarpunkSoundtrack #agingCyberpunk

The line crew have cut power to my neighbourhood, but thanks to my #residentialSolar I'm still up and running #offGrid

The hop from grid tied #netMetering to fully disconnected battery backup happened automatically and almost instantly. The cable modem and computer didn't even notice, although I did see a momentary flicker from the LED lights.

Next moment of excitement will be in a few hours when the batteries will have discharged enough to reconnect the solar panels to support household use and recharge simultaneously.

The little #solarpunk helped the #agingCyberpunk fill the new raised bed. Now we have used the soil we have a pallet to learn to saw, nail, screw, and build with.

Dirty hands and sore backs make good memories.

#PracticalSolarPunk #Gardening #gardeningInFlorida

A small child in rainbow Wellington boots, a blue sun cap, and a pink tutu standing in a corrugated aluminium raised bed, bent over to level out the soil with her green gardening gloves.

#PracticalSolarPunk : an occasional series.

The power company has notified me they will be doing equipment upgrades in our area on Wednesday which will cut our service for about 5 hours.

I shrug and check the weather. It should be sunny on Wednesday but even if it isn't the batteries are already charged and the system is all set to automatically switch to off-grid when it detects an outage.

Guess I better get back to planning the solar powered drip irrigation system for the new raised bed.

A bit late for #ScreenshotSaturday but here's my #popOS daily driver. It's a hacked #Chromebook living its best life.

#lynxBrowser and #vlc and a bit of #MaxHeadroom Twenty Minutes into the Future rounded out my Saturday evening.

#agingCyberpunk #DarkModeEverything

A Pop!OS desktop with a custom CortexImplant wallpaper. A window on the left contains VLC showing Max Headroom - Twenty Minutes into the Future and a terminal window on the right shows an article from the LowTechMagazine website displayed in the Lynx terminal browser.

My wife got us a #coffee machine. With near unlimited coffee on hand I may have consumed an almost @revengeday quantity of coffee today.

My puny mortal form can't handle this level of chemical enhancement. My tongue can hear and I think I can smell the future!

Note to self, must have restraint tomorrow.
