2020. Most people I know stopped with 2nd Ed, and kind of ignored the whole CyberGeneration. Sure, Arasaka set off a nuke in the middle of the city during the 4th Corp War, but that doesn't physically move Heywood up and above Pacifica.. Edit: Don't get me wrong, it's not a complaint, I'm just vaguely curious on the reasons for things like this. When you've had a focus on getting the lore right, there's got to be some sort of technical reasons for changing the layout of the city.

Also , Night City map apparently got leaked / released Or at least, that's supposedly the paper map that will be coming with the boxed copies of the game. Edit: A few minor differences to the layout of the Pen & Paper Cyberpunk Night City, but nothing too extravagant...

I have not seen the office in 6 months. Its all fun and games when you're a data analyst working from home....

On that slightly divergent book related aspect.... https://www.tor.com/2020/10/09/the-dresden-filescelebrates-its-20th-anniversary-jim-butcher-and-james-marsters-at-new-york-comic-con-2020/?

Well, to fun thing to remember is that there is an Evil Genius 2 coming soon... Even if it isn't the rpg slice.

That fine balance of pandemic responsibility, against "lets wait until more Cinema groups are bankrupt and closed down."...

There's some crunch time with work this week, big mass of data extraction to start tomorrow so I'm trying to not think about any of it just yet. Running through some old music, and its interesting, if I hear the various songs from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer music (Teenage FBI, Temptation Waits, I Quit, Over My Head, Virgin State of Mind, It Doesn't Matter, Wild Horses, etc) for some reason my mind goes to Shadowrun and I have the urge to dig into my old books and start messing around with character design. If I start listening to the soundtrack of Twister (Humans Being, Virtual Reality, Talula, Darling Pretty, Melancholy Mechanics, etc) my mind jumps back to Mage the Ascension and the spark of fiddling around with paradox and probability characters....

"Do you ever think its a crutch, I mean, blaming everything on the problems your parents had? Don't you have a responsibility to yourself to eventually cast aside the crutches and meet new challenges?" "If the parent-child bond is diseased, you have a better chance of being a sociopath then being well-adjusted. I consider it a triumph of the will that there aren't shallow graves dotting my backyard."

Well it does look like it'll be more entertaining than Ready Player One.

"Well, Ozymandias sure was wrong about a global catastrophic event uniting everyone." "Imagine - Alan Moore's view of the future actually proving to be too optimistic."
