Okay wait what is going on now?

Hello.

It’s been A While.

In a random slump of procrastination I have looked into The Old Blog, noticed that the whole setup was horrendously outdated, and reinstalled everything again from scratch and imported the old content.
I have also imported a bunch of Even Older Content.
You see nothing of anything, because everything is set to private as of now. There’s a lot of “apologizing for not posting” in there, and a bunch of things in dire need of review before putting them public again.

So, what now? My main reasoning to get this page back up is to have a Third Place under my own control to properly archive all my “Things of $YEAR”-stuff from the not-tweeing sites, and maybe also the n-th-book-of-the-year-things from the book of faces. This will of course mean a whole lot of manual backpacing, but OH WELL. Newer Stuff will be easier, by just posting it here too.
Maybe I’ll even post more/other personal stuff, to have it at a place that’s not The Usual Places, or import back Random Acts of Tourism.

It’s gonna be a total trainwreck an adventure either way.

So yea. Hi. I’m SpaceSjut these days, and welcome to jackass my blog.

Neuromancer, by William Gibson

A Thing I’ve (re-)Read 01/2026: Neuromancer, by William Gibson

Technically a re-read, but also the first time I’ve read this fundamental, genre-building piece of cyberpunk in the english version.

Contrasting it to the before-finished Fortunate Fall, it does become painfully obvious why the latter was rec’d as “non-tech bro-y” – Neuromancer is very tech, and sometimes painfully bro-y.

Still, it is A Ride, and a damn good one at that, if you’re willing to deal with it.
Also, I completely forgot how much of this book is the actual Straylight run, but then in terms of misremembering plot points that’s by far not the biggest whoops I’ve made xD

And now: deeper into the Sprawl! There’s two more books in the trilogy, after all.

BioShock Infinite 25: Wrapping Things Up, Again And For Good

In which we do exactly what it says on the tin.

This is the final final post of the Infinite. And what a ride it was.
The game started with a good idea, warped and twisted by blind implementation of legacy mechanics without sufficient anchoring in the world and the fact that they did Columbia as a shooter with a mediocre-at-best gunplay. Then we were given some more gunplay. THEN we were given everything missing and some more: the Burial at Sea-DLC did so many things so right that it is both a shame and totally incomprehensible how this could happen.
