He's still wanking off his Nazi expys. Whether it's intentional or just stupidity is, as others have said, immaterial.

Congratulations on the end of the marathon, ARB!

Also the playbeing is, um, definitely a thing that happened in an official release.

I still don't understand Degenesis. It feels like a bundle of premises for low-budget post apoc movies, corny racist stereotypes, and honestly pretty good industrial metal album covers, in search of an actual setting.

The Cultures part became incomprehensible about halfway through though the Cults have been easier for me to follow. I still would never play in this terrible world full of awful societies and horrible people.

Ok I think I finally got it: Eclipse Phase in fact sucks rear end and I can safely avoid it.

Eclipse Phase: Second Edition


So uh, after that. Remember what wasn't in EP1? A section on transhuman dicktouching. EP2 has that, a section on transhuman dicktouching. Oh boy.

Yeah welp that happened in an official release.

I'm sure someone thought they were very clever when they managed to make gender into a metaphor for gentrification

Has anybody said “gendrification” yet?

I'm also not entirely sure what kind of social class we're supposed to figure the Inner System worker is. It's so weird that they're working one-day gigs and getting penalized for lengthy lunch breaks (also not working from home despite doing a programming job they have to rent their own space to work with, despite their commute being virtual

I read that as he was working from home but had to physically go somewhere over lunch break, got stuck in traffic, and ducked into a cyber-Regus to get back to work a few minutes late rather than go back home and get clipped even harder for being much later.

I agree with your overall evaluation though.

Look, it's my username. It's not "Inkless pen", it's "inklesspen". (And, yep, I'm up to page 1117. Whee!)

Don’t take it personally; autocorrect is a cruel assistant.

I'm glad to see more people calling out nano-technology as not 'hard sci-fi' because in reality its about as much nonsense as the Force, warp drives, or Harry Potter wizards.

Also, there already are objects that manipulate matter on the molecular scale - they're called 'cells', why do sci-fi writers not get this?

They’re natural and not man made so therefore they’re not science enough.

Flesh Party was more interesting when Rudy Rucker wrote it up as Merge.

Or K.W. Jeter as the orgynism.

His streak continues, getting 12 on 2D6: which, added to his two current KHDCs, is enough to result in Harry dying before even finishing character generation.

This sucked rear end when it happened in Traveler, too, and I don’t understand how it’s a possibility that gets included, even in joke games like this.

Greg Egan’s Diaspora is another excellent book dealing with transhumanity, forking, and questions of identity. He invents a bunch of physics so the book can be kind of hard to get into at first but the payoff is worth it.

Except that's bullshit, and will never cease to be bullshit used in disingenuous argumentation, so...

And the French call orgasms “the little death” so I don’t know, maybe the nofap guys are onto something after all.
