So far I'm seeing a lot of adding 'ass' to things

[ Not sure if he's into that tbh. ]

Hmm

Like those comic book heroes?

Imagine us manipulating the wind or water

[ Will he need a cape? ]

[riskless]

it's descriptive. you'll get it.

[ her favorite swear is still probably shit, though. ]

with our powers combined, we'll be captain planet? seems like this earth needs some real environmental retooling

[livrer]

[ 'Shit' is a good one, and it's very effective in all languages. He likes using it too. ]

Is captain planet really a superhero?

[ Hm seems kinda lame ]

I don't disagree though

[riskless]

[ solidarity in shit. ]

he tried to warn us all about climate change and we didn't listen. look at this shit version of earth. there will be NO captain planet slander

[livrer]

Oh, I wouldn't dare

[ Not out loud anyway. ]

If this is what earth really will become ... it's a bit difficult to have hope

[riskless]

you were tempted

it might not be our earth. seems like lots of displaced come from all kinda versions.

[livrer]

It is hard not to see how this could be a possible reality for us though

Maybe not so much the strange modifications market

That seems a bit out there

[riskless]

the runaway climate change is a little too close to home

it's like cyberpunk tattoos and piercings. honestly that part doesn't surprise me that much

[livrer]

In movies and TV sure

But you and I could go to the market right now and get wings and a tail if we wanted to

[ C'est fou! ]

[riskless]

i'm not gonna actively discourage any of your long lived tail dreams, but i will advise against it.

[livrer]

Trust me, I will not be getting a tail now or any other day

I'm just saying tattoos and piercings are far more believable than some of the things I've seen in that market

[riskless]

your name is booker and you never read cyberpunk dystopia with hardcore body modification? sounds like you need to expand that library.

[livrer]

I have always been more a fan of the classics

[riskless]

you gotta broaden your horizons then maybe tails wouldn't be a cyberpunk surprise

[livrer]

I'm sure we have other priorities

[riskless]

it could fall under research

given we're in the middle of some real life cyberpunk nonsense

[livrer]

True

If you find me a proper book to read in this genre

I will do it

[riskless]

your definition of proper book is probably way more elitist than mine

[livrer]

Elitist?

Is that what we're calling it?

[ lols ]

[riskless]

book snob is the alternative

[livrer]

Ah of course

Well then, clearly I need a lesson or two on 'broadening my horizons' as you say

[ says the man who literally has a book collecting problem some might otherwise call, 'Hoarding'.

Catch him getting addicted to that cyberpunk genre. ]

[riskless]

not my fault you had 200 years and stayed clear of entire genres

we'll work on it

[ at least it's not twilight. ]

[livrer]

I appreciate the help

It will take some getting used to reading entire novels on a screen however

[ And he'll grump about it every time, tbh.

Nothing beats a bound book full of real, paper pages. ]

[riskless]

you can hack into security systems across the globe

i think you can get used to books on screen quickly enough if you really try

[livrer]

Perhaps I don't really want to try

I miss paper already

[ Can you practically hear the sigh? ]
