Can Netflix pull of hard scifi? I hope so!
I've never read the book(s?) but the concept looks pretty damn good.
LOGIN ISSUES
Because I've presently got technical incompetences with the board, password resets presently do not work automatic like.
SECURITY WHATNOW?
Once upon a when, we've had a data breach (maybe).
You may dismiss this message by clicking the dark X in the top right hand corner. You may have to mouse-over to see it. I assure you it's there.

If you have any problem logging in, please don't bother waiting and get in touch. Email right to the usual address (admin at...), use the contact form (bottom of index and most other pages), post in the Midget Circus, or message me directly on Facebook.
I should get the message within a few hours, but under rare circumstances, it might take me a day.
If you can login no problem, but you wish to avoid problem, try checking the "Remember Me" box where you login. I've meddled with the settings there, so even if you return here only once every couple of weeks, it should remember you fine. Provided you have cookies enabled.
If it won't remember you, and you want to be sure any failure to remember is actually such and not just an oops, please read the following (click the bar to make it "show").

Important infos about cookies
Show
To be remembered, you must have cookies enabled in your browser. Some people prefer using "private" browsing mode - which precludes cookies being placed on your device in the first place.
Some people use regular browsing mode, but may have chosen to disable all cookies in their settings. Sometimes, these people will end up tearing their hair out because a lot of websites just don't work at all, like many online stores, as many e-commerce platforms don't do bugger all without using cookies.
Me, I've got "Self-Destructing Cookies" plugins in my various browsers. Which lets me accept all cookies everywhere, smug in the knowledge that they will be deleted the instant I close that browser tab. I can even set it to delete the cookies only when I close the whole browser window, which is helpful with online stores.
And I can whitelist sites like the board, so the plugin doesn't mess with those cookies at all.
And you must use the same browser, on the same machine. Unless you're using something like a cookie manager that syncs to all your devices and things, your apple browser on your ipad won't have the delicious cookies chrome has on your PC. And unless google now manages cookies between your devices (who knows what the fuck they do), even chrome on your Android won't have the same cookies as chrome on your notebook, or chrome on your other Android.

SECURITY WHATNOW?

Click here if you don't know what that's about.
Show
If you've visited the forum at any time after November 18, 2020, you will have seen the message about a supposed data breach that may have exposed passwords. I know you will have seen it because, until today, there was a big general announcement right at the top of the everything.
Seeing how it's been nearly 18 months since that, with no further alarms getting rung, and how everyone has had 758,214 opportunities to take a minute to think about the security of their passwords, I've taken that notice down.
Follow this link for all the info that has transpired about the whole mess.

But you know what this looks like? To me?
The future world, technology putting an entirely different value on life and all that?
This is the fucking BLADE RUNNER tv show! With special effects the original movie could never even have matched!
Dayum. This looks exciting!
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Butt.
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

Please. Don't use "like" as a verb in the same sentence as a reference to that abomination. Unless you wish to express dislike.Bigshankhank wrote: I would prefer to do the whole Ghost in the Shell thing and come out looking like Scarlett Johansonn.
And beware. If you do do that "Ghost in the Shell" thing. Just going with the sublime original anime movies and series.
They take your digestion system. You realize that, right? You might look like Scarlett Johansson. But no more eating food for you. I tried finding a clip on youtube, but there's just too much stuff there. I am quite certain, though. Cyborg? No food.
And. No. Coffee.

Re: altered carbon on Netflix
Yeah, but at the risk of sounding pervy, I (and it would be I, not some agglomeration of other people's psyches) would get to look at a naked ScarJo who will never get old and flabby and fat (since I cannot eat apparently, fair trade-off) whenever I want for ever.DerGolgo wrote:Please.
