Richard Morgan is a total dickhead very much a Clancy type but a scifi nerd. Try reading (or don't) his other books like Black Man about a genetically engineered race of (inherently aggressive) alpha males with oversized dicks.

yeah he twitted about how gender was determined by what plumbing your body had full stop and I wanted to ask ok so when Kovacs cross-sleeves into a female body for some infiltration mission are they then actually a woman for the duration?? like all his previous man brain patterns and man thoughts are now ladies?

Oh also altered carbon the book has a snippet where all the torture vr programs put you in a woman's body for reasons you can probably guess :barf:

checking the wiki page there's also a new AC anime (written by the showrunner for Cowboy Bebop) due out on March19??

Also you can tell Richard Morgan is more involved in this series because I'm only half way through and already there have been several mentions of alpha males, wolf packs, that kind of thing.

season 2 so far is way more future action adventure than cyberpunk detective story

okay i finished it and yeah it's truer to the books but not as good as s1. i don't really want to watch generic scifi man shoot generic scifi cops and then have a pointless fistfight. i blame richard morgan.

I'm glad that they found an actor with more than one facial expression to play kovacs in s2

For the first few eps I was missing the stoicness/weariness of the old one since that was a key theme of s1. But yeah I warmed up to the s2 guy.

I admit I kind of liked this movie but they tied themselves into a corner by giving everybody else super boring prosthetics. Like the guy with digital eyes and the woman with a digital throat have all got to be super soldiers that can at least be vaguely on par with a nanited vin diesel

i mean add to the list of yospos topics for fancy or hard to get items. checking and of course theyre super gouging. i suppose barbell plates with shorter grips are similar but thats a real gamble on cost too

it looks like exercise bikes are still the same so thats still not ruined by profiteers

I ordered some lead fishing weights and they're small enough to fit in your hand. Works for me (wrapped up of course).
