i think all the “haha for cyberpunk day let’s blow up the blackrock investment group hq because they’re the equivalent of arasaka” jokes are silly and funny until you put like 1 second of thought into them. johnny and morgan were used by militech and made into patsies. they were tools of corporate sabotage. not to mention the hundreds of not thousands of civilian deaths due to the NUCLEAR BOMB that devastated night city for like 2 decades after. you are not johnny silverhand. you do not want to be johnny silverhand. please

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son

A good ensemble cast is based on the strength of the interactions between any two characters in the ensemble.

CHARLIE + MAC Delightfully sincere madness. Cooking up new inventions for strange products.

CHARLIE + DENNIS Tom Sawyer style friendly manipulation. Charlie looks up to Dennis, who will not admit to enjoying Charlie's antics.

CHARLIE + FRANK Comfortable friendship. Frank tries to have sex with sex worker, charlie attempts to cook beans. They are mutually supportive of each other's desires.

CHARLIE + DEE Sibling rivalry. Competition, until they can find something to join forces over.

MAC + DENNIS A mastermind and his goon attempt to inflate the value of a used tractor trailer for sale.

MAC + FRANK Boys night. The quest for a cold one to crack open.

MAC + DEE Faghagging, though neither will admit to the dynamic.

DENNIS + FRANK An evil king and his mistrustful advisor attempt to woo some fair maidens.

DENNIS + DEE Untethered cooperative sociopathy.

FRANK + DEE An evil witch drawing upon her wealthy toad familiar to cast harmful spells.

  • if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost
  • take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle
  • fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism
  • now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

some others i found in the notes

Not really in the same vein, but i wanna add some great ones.

This whole post is my current philosophy

okay okay so like i don’t wanna kill the party but i just saw an instagram shop selling a shirt that says now i am become death the destroyer of worlds in barbie font and i just sigh i just like i get the novelty of barbie and oppenheimer weekend but i have got to stress the bomb changed the entire world forever and wiped out over a quarter of a million people i think maybe we gotta kinda take a step back here when we start selling it as if it’s fun hot girl summer fodder

before you start babygirling oppenheimer just know that from what i’ve heard the film does not address downwinders, does not have a singular japanese person in it, and exploited our museums by claiming photos on loan for personal use (meaning they did not have to pay a penny to use them in the film despite being a multi-million dollar production).
