So which one is it? Because they can't all be first Brian.

It is worth noting that the game itself is not forward-facing, but instead an awkward homage to what the 80's thought cyberpunk was. For a modern game its tropes are very tired, outdated, out of time. Mirror sunglasses. Leather jackets. CRT screens. Metal arms. There is nothing new here. Maybe...

Amazon now uses the kfx format for downloads in their app and they are hot on updating their DRM. I’ve been using Calibre with DeDRM in the past, but this no longer works. I’ll take a look at that site, but don’t hold much hope.

Any chance we could get the Woebot books in a format that is more of an open standard than the walled garden that is Amazon? I bought the big book of Woe a while back but it’s impossible to download and convert it to something that will work on my Kobo ereader. epub format would be handy...

The parents will know what I mean.

I'm more than happy to hear a theory of how they connect. I always saw them as disparate scenes with different actors and different goals. What arists are you referring to when you talk about EDM? To me the name conjures up stadium-filling names like Skrillex with his brostep wobble, Deadmou5...

I thought EDM was from people like Steve Aoki? Very different from IDM. Kid606 and Knifehandchop were firstly never really more than a fringe movement, and secondly; something I would class as some kind of painfully ironic post-breakcore that died a death very quickly. ...and this is exactly...

Self-censoring youth who want a God king. This is not the future I thought we would end up with. I miss the droogs.

I predict this is a fad that will die a death. Just like no one cares about collecting Crypto Kitties this year. A lot of money will be made by artists in the short term and I don't begrudge them that, but I highly doubt they will be able to keep it up once the crypto-bros made rich from their...

This also predates CGI. I attended an exhibition of modernist planning a few years ago, and the most fascinating part was the utopian nature of the architects initial sketches. (Sadly I can't find any online) Estates and shopping centres we know full well would become grey, crushing failures...

They build the structure, but the nature will never bloom to the full potential shown in the image. Some half-dead sapling strapped to a two-by-four. It's all about the pitch. Selling you the product, like the photo of mashed potato on a tub of icecream. There's also a certain amount of...

I used to do this for a living. Always fascinated by replicating nature in 3D. The setting of the building taking more time than the building itself. Getting the bushes to look good was a particular personal bugbear. I look down upon the images where 2D silhouettes have been used as a quick...

What's that under the cheese? Looks like mini poppadoms? If you grilled it, I suspect it's going to taste like a Maccy D's burger without the meat.

Feels like a game made by people who never really 'got' electronic music... beyond listening to mainstream bro-step. Except for the guy in charge of atmospherics who has done the best he could under difficult circumstances. I've continued to play this through gritted teeth. Through endless...

As a provincial looking in from the outside, from a city so far out of the loop it's not a satellite but Pluto, I have always found London to be incredibly exciting. The music, the nights out, roaming central streets in the dark just absorbing the sights and sounds of a city far bigger than...

I need a way to extract myself from the game of flipping altcoins in the short term to make more bitcoin. That is the true addiction in this space. Holding on to bitcoin and watching the price is a leisurely activity by comparison.

I gave up on genres entirely a while back, and now use the genre tag as a place for the record label. It makes life much easier. UK Techno... where do you even start there? Regis, Surgeon, but lumped in with Luke Slater?

If you think that all sounds detached from reality because your finances are already secured in a bank, then its worth looking at Venezuela's bitcoin adoption. If you own bitcoin and you are smart enough not to leave it sitting on an exchange but actually control the wallet yourself, then that...

I think you should look at it as energy used to secure a financial truth. Those processors are grinding away to produce blocks on the ledger. The truth of that ledger is absolute. What is the value of securing our finances? Unlike the cruise industry, burning enough fossil fuels to compete with...
