one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer

Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.

It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.

Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

For one beautiful moment in time we had unfettered access to the life of every single person on earth.

Have you ever played a Troika! based p&p rpg? I kinda get similar vibes from these comics. Absolutely love them, by the way.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not really. I do remember the vampires masquerade game, and I did play the original fallout. I think that's the same developer. But I'm not really familiar with video games. I think it's mostly my own bleak perception of the world, where the vibe comes from.

I'm glad to hear you say you enjoy it, it helps me going.

Troika! is actually a p&p/tabletop system, so a game played in person, between friends, and the source books have a lot of weird, kinda surrealist art, with the adventures in them usually having a similar vibe.

I get the bleakness thing, I find myself getting disillusioned with the world all too often. But art like this helps, so I am happy that you are happy that we are happy with it. Or something like that.

Troika is a fantastic set of work

when we have like genuine artificial superintelligences, all these backdoors are so gonna bite us in the ass. we'll have to throw out all devices and experience economic ruin, just because the security state wanted to peak at everyone's private lives for some occult reason.
