After 75 years of Cryosleep...
| It's the wrong time and place to wake up, trust me. Go and sleep again if you can.
| You haven't met the fully sentient androids yet, have you?
| >>417105 Well I can't. For various reasons. Long story short, the powers that were aren't and the reason I was put to sleep is pretty much a non-issue anymore. Really I probably should have been awake years ago but...Well that's water under the bridge now.
What's so bad about waking up now? Aside from the crime-rate. Geezus.
>>417107 Fully sentient androids? Do go on.
| >>417109
You're from 70 years ago, right? I belive you had this genre called cyberjunk, or whatever it is... Well, that's what our world basically has become, but on steroids. There is just a lot of fucked up shit happening all the time.
| Wait,doesnt normal cyberpunk have fucked up shit happen all the time?
| >>417116 Uhh...I'm not even sure what to ask. I guess I'm firstly curious what a Lilim is and why you're called that?
>>417117 Cyberpunk. Also that's terrifying and awesome at the sametime. More terrifying than awesome though.
| >>417394
Lilim are the latest line of Androids, essentially. We're not full on synthetic humans, but close and given equal rights, in GC at least. And I'm not exactly sure why we're called that, some sort of Torah reference I believe.
-Percy
| >>417398 Wow. Equal rights, huh? Was it...difficult to get to this point? Also I'm a little confused are androids still manufactured by humans or..? I guess the entire idea is as mind-bending as it is exciting and interesting.
| >>417408
We're produced by a central AI, don't overthink it. And the rights? Took only a few years after the first precursor models, surprisingly.
-Percy
| >>417416 Wow! That's really cool! So there's enough of you to become a proper percentage of the population, then? So you stated that there are models. It's really interesting...Is it politically correct to refer to models as new, old, or obsolete anymore? Do you people even care about that?
Ah aside from all of that, I take it since the world is now a cyberpunk movie, except real, augmenting is becoming a thing? Kind of a dumb question on my part admittedly, but...
| >>417444
It's actually was a general aquarium goldfish that was augmented. And it was released to the flooded after it burned most of the stuff in guy's apartment.
| >>417444 >>417448 Oh so it's not only a thing, it's dropped to the consumer hobbyist level. Sheesh. That's actually kind of scary. So is the augmentation reaching that point where it's pretty much a requirement these days? When I went to sleep the use of the internet-matrix was pretty much a life skill.
| >>417449
You can live without it. But some people augment themselves just to get better.
Oh,and btw. There are catboomers.
| >>417463 What's a catboomer? I want to note that the image in my head is both hilarious and concerning.
| >>417464
Basically it's a human with cat eras. Ironically it's just a side effect of a medical treatment that is aimed to cure the nanomachine rejection.
| >>417427
We're more concentrated in GC, but yeah, we're considered a minority now, older models can be considered obsolete in some fashion, like neanderthals, et cetera, but that's only the ones whom can't be revived.
>>417464
Nekos. But for legitimate health reasons involving the body's rejection of Nanomachines. Or as a fad, it was a fad to give your kid cat ears a while back, sort of like greasers or something.
-Percy
| >>417467 What about the concept of upgrading? How has that changed based on these social reforms? Man this is so interesting! I hope I'm not asking too many questions!
>>417467 >>417466 Oh. Oh wow. So how is this treated? Merely as a mild deformity due to medical treatment required or...Wait...Nanomachine Rejection? Uhhhh...I should say back before I went to sleep nanomachines were still extremely experimental. To the point of nearly being a fantasy for consumers.
| >>417471
Upgrading in terms of Lilim is widely accepted, for humans? That's a personal matter of philosophy.
As per Cat Boomers and nano-machines? With Nano-machine rejections humans here would die quite quickly after birth, sort of like premature birth in the olden days, since the machines would rip their bodies apart from the inside, as per what they're used for, general improvement of quality of life, and whatever the corps controlling them want really.
-Percy.
| >>417471
Well, if you're still alive, that means you don't have nanomachine rejection. Congrats. The treatment itself is... Well, it's just rewriting the dna of still unborn baby. Wich tends to them have cat ears.
| A couple things...
There's something strange going on, though most seem to ignore it. No one can agree on a year- some think its 2076, others think its earlier- still others don't even use a Julian calendar.
The majority of Glitch City is augmented in some way, and most of the unaugged aren't even from here- they're refugees from other planets altogether.
Careful who you mention the riots to- some people are still pissed.
| I remember when ROMs were popular... Damn a little over a 10 years and now we have lilims...
-8||8
| >>417549 ROMs? Those weren't a thing when I was last awake... I'm assuming those are another type of Android?
>>417473 >>417477 So genetic manipulation really took off. Awesome. It was still being viciously debated on legally, before...Are any of you catboomers?
>>417508 That's strange...Haha. Are you going to tell me the planet is in a timewarp now?
| >>417616 To my kind? I'm just a guy that slept for 75 years in stasis...I was sick. Nothing/nobody caused that.
| >>417655
To meet a fellow outsider of time, truly this convergence that keeps drawing me back is as interesting as ever
pray tell, what is the last global event you remember?
-John Titor
| >>417711
Ah? Oh that would be...Well there was the horrible bio-terrorism plague that put me in stasis in the first place. Killed ten percent of the human population in the span of a month. A cure was created, but it was only effective in those whom had not yet shown symptoms or were lucky enough to be asymptomatic...
By the way I guess I'd better make a nifty tag for myself.

| >>417722
Hmm, Indeed this is different than what I remember, it seems we both come from alternate worldlines, or maybe even different attractor fields entirely.
-John Titor
| >>417748 I'm not sure I understand. Attractor fields? Worldlines? Kind of going over my head here.

| It's kind of amazing how much and how little everything's changed.
For example..Talking and empathetic vending machines! I...actually had a vending machine sincerely apologize for not having Hetap. We then had a long philosophical conversation ranging from the meaning of life and what it means to dream...
...Are all Vendertech vending machines that uh...sentient?
