  • Most good tradesfolk are, basically - they’re just also a journey/master at their chosen trade. Plumbers, carpenters, HVAC, electricians, masons, everyone has to work together so you pick up some of what they do just by osmosis. Later on you’ll be doing something totally different and go “oh wait I saw those guys do that this way, that makes sense now”.

    The number of problems you can solve scales logarithmically with the amount of skills you learn.















  • Pen and paper Shadowrun was my first and still main cyberpunk game. And I really haven’t played it much.

    I’m a fan of the genre in general but cyberpunk games tend to be expansive dialogue-driven RPGs that my middle-aged ass ain’t got time for. It’s a shame, I’d probably love the writing for Disco Elysium and Cyberpunk 2077, but if I’ve only got so many gaming hours in a week, imma likely spend it on a roguelite or action game instead for the excitement and dopamine. Just being real.

    I did go on a nice Philip K Dick spree for a while and enjoy his stories. William Gibson was difficult when I first gave Neuromancer a read and I didn’t look into him farther, but I’m probably due. Another backlog for the fire.
