Cyberpunk! I read Let Slip the Beasts by Suzanne Berget yesterday. I recommend it. Not too long either.

Today I'm gonna find another cyberpunk book to read. Maybe Nexus by Ramez Naam that someone else recommended me.

Don't need to tell me twice. I've distrusted Brave since I saw their advertisement for it. It just feels like they sell the browser in same mood as pyramid schemers does their products.

But its just my gut feeling. Got no good reason why people should avoid the browser. And because the CEO is an ass isn't a good enough reason for most people.

Why is it always those 3? Is there no other cyberpunk books people read? They are very heavy reads. Heres a few "mediocre" cyberpunk books I found entertaining, everyone takes place on earth:

  • "A cyberpunk saga" by Matthew Goodwin, if you prefer teamwork and strong friendship. And a VERY stereotypical cyberpunk world.
  • "Daemon" by Daniel Suarez, a techno triller, if you enjoy overly "smart" villains who think multiple moves ahead.
  • "Immortality Upload" by Patrick Fell, if you like MMOs and VR.
  • "Neo Cyberpunk", a genre anthology book. Multiple short stories. I found Matthew Goodwins books because I enjoyed his short story.

You can't get the lava to empty? It only empties in turn-based for some reason, so just switch to turn-based and do nothing for 2-3 rounds.

My biggest complaints about it is awful performance, and that it silently deletes the savegames if I uninstall the game, no cloud save even!

I spent so damn long in the editor creating this kickass Eddie Riggs wannabe and now he's gone because I wanted to wait a bit for a performance patch. 😭 So I haven't had the motivation to return to the game since I found out.

She forgot to mention the alcoholic potato alien who never shuts up.

Oh.. How many years until we have Deus Ex Human Revolution in real life?

Yeah, my C programs too tend to randomly evolve sentience.
